Join Us: Community Roundtable on Anti-Asian Racism & Intersectional Violence

March 23, 2021 by A&S News

Join the Faculty of Arts & Science’s Women & Gender Studies Institute and the Department of Sociology for a community roundtable on Anti-Asian Racism and Intersectional Violence on March 26 at 12 – 1:30 pm.

This event has been organized in light of the recent shootings in Atlanta and the rise of anti-Asian racism during COVID. While the presence of anti-Asian sentiments may seem new to some, it’s part of a longer history of oppression that Asian communities continue to experience.

Join this much-needed conversation on how to collectively address and challenge anti-Asian racism and intersectional violence. Taking part in this roundtable are: 

  • Elene Lam, Butterfly: Asian and Migrant Sex Workers Support Network
  • Justin Kong, Chinese Canadian National Council —Toronto Chapter
  • Rick Sin, Asian Canadian Labour Alliance — Ontario Chapter
  • Moderated by Robert Diaz, Associate Professor, Women & Gender Studies and Hae Yeon Choo, Associate Professor, Sociology
