QUEERING EAST ASIA IN THE UK: A POSTGRADUATE COLLOQUIUM
CENTRE FOR WOMEN’S STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF YORK
This one-day colloquium is held for East-Asian postgraduate students and others
in the UK. We invite those who are interested in gender and queer-related
subjects and topics in the East Asia region- Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan and
Hong Kong- and who currently study, work or live in the UK. In addition to
create a space for people interested in LGBTQ issues in the East Asia region to
come together and exchange ideas, we also want to hold a session at the end of
the day in order to start a support network for one another. The provisional
date of the colloquium is on November 26th (Saturday), to be held at King’s
Manor College in central York.
The proposed topics for the day are (but certainly not limited to):
1)Discussion Panels- any themes related to gender and LGBTQ studies in East
Asia
2)Workshops or open discussions on various issues related to academic work,
for example, the (dis)empowerment of western LGBTQ discourse in the East-
Asian countries, difficulties in translations or translatability of East-
Asian cultures, societies and other specifics etc.
3)Presentation of Postgraduate students’ work-in-progress
4)Sharing of ideas, perspectives and studying sources, intellectual tips and
suggestions to held address existing problems or difficulties
Please feel very free to contact Terri He ([log in to unmask]) or Yi-han Wang

ideas for proposed panels/papers/sessions for the day. Deadline: 28 Oct. 2005
