The Worlds of Richard Fung: Queer Reclamations of the Asian Caribbean
The first of this two-part event series will feature Richard Fung in conversation with two Northeastern faculty: Kris Manjapra, professor of History, and Denise Khor, associate professor of Asian American studies and visual studies. Fung’s “Intimacies of Black Asia” series is “a multi-year collaboration that explores the many dimensions in which Africana and Global Asian histories, cultures, and creativities overlap, intermingle, and entangle across Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean worlds.” The discussion will be followed by a reception. Admission is free, but registration is required.
Register here.
The event will be presented by Northeastern’s Global Asian Studies and Center for the Arts and the Brown Arts Institute (BAI) at Brown University. It is sponsored by Northeastern’s Humanities Center and the Brown Arts Institute, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Department of American Studies, and the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women at Brown University.
