    With so many more pressing issues in the world and in academia at the moment, it feels trivial to worry about right now. But hopefully we can add our voices to conversations about how making count can produce a more inclusive Asian Studies.

    New post: makes a case for making digital scholarship count in as we collectively "rebuild academia anew from the ground up" in 2020 and beyond.

    Thanks to Jamie J. Zhao and Hongwei Bao for a thorough review of recent literature on queer and sexuality studies in China, along with outlining the theoretical approach and underpinnings of their new series "Queering China: Transnational Genders and Sexualities"!

    Notes from the Field | Jamie Zhao and Hongwei Bao propose “Queer/ing China" to "explore queerness & Chineseness... attuned to the encounters, syntheses, & dissonances of local, transnational, and global queer & feminist studies, knowledge, and movements.”

    Thanks to Akshaya Kumar for an intriguing reflection on cultural responses to urban built environments, discussing how the celebration of mobility in Bhojpuri live concert culture can be seen as a reaction to the infrastructural & social obstacles communities face in urban India.

    Notes from the Field | Akshaya Kumar highlights the importance of mobility in Bhojpuri popular cultural as a response to urban conditions in India: "The infrastructural overwriting of communities has been central to neoliberal renderings of urbanization."

    This is an eye-opening, timely pair of articles on and early career precarity by : 1) grad stipends alone are often not sufficient; and 2) students’ side-“hustles” are not distractions, but can provide skills and training that will help on job market.

    I am happy to share the next article in my 3-part series: Living with Precarity in Academia.📝 This covers forms of "the hustle" I pursued while a grad student, both to educate mentors on the realities of ECRs & be transparent about what the hustle can be.
