“Looking Back, Looking Forward:” Envisioning Asian Diasporas as Methodologies for “Thriving Futures”
Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 404ABSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This is part of a trilogy of our Asian diaspora studies project: Asian diasporas as theories, methodologies, and praxes. Asian diaspora educational workers explore Asian diasporas as methodologies inherent in six programs of inquiry into historical struggles and “thriving futures” for Asian diasporas in the U.S. Drawing upon decolonizing and deimperializing methodological traditions, Asian diaspora inquiries purposefully work against orientalized, imperialized, racialized, gendered, classed, and other intersected oppressions. These inquiries allow participants to name their predicaments, tell their stories, ask hard questions, and contest deficit narratives that further marginalize their existence. With unfaltering commitment to humility, solidarity, and justice, these inquiries trouble methodological traditions and challenge imperialized and colonized ways of engaging in, interpreting, and writing about research.
