COVID-19 Vulnerabilities: Asian Racialization, Coalition and Creativity

September 17, 2020, 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm

Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies (Online event)
This virtual roundtable conversation explored Asian racialization and the multiple meanings of “vulnerability” in the unfolding global pandemic. The roundtable considered how COVID-19 amplifies the precarity of particular communities, and how creativity, art and interdependence in mutual aid might address such inequities. Our panel of scholars, artists and community organizers situated this global crisis within histories that connect Vancouver, and Canada more broadly, to Asia, and discussed possible anti-racist practices and policies. 

Panel speakers:

·       Ethel Tungohan and JP Catungal

·       Stephanie Comilang 

·       Kevin Huang

·       Anjuli Fatima Raza Kolb

·       Tina Pang
