讲座提要： 

   Using “Asian female stereotypes” as an analytic and historical lens, this session explores the categorical intersections of ethnorace and gender in contemporary US cultural politics, aiming to show why it is important for one to think specifically and structurally acrossthose social categories and boundaries to achieve justice today where, for instance, “Black Lives Matter” matters also as a renewed call for social solidarity and alliance politics.
