Working on Chiang and Wong’s (2016) call to ‘queer the transnational turn’ through a consideration of regionalism in the examination of queer modernities in Asia, five panelists are assembling for a discussion of queer global Asias. We seek to interrogate the concept of regionalism in the study of bodies and desires across Asia and its traffic around the world. The event will begin with brief 10-minute position presentations from our multidisciplinary group of invited scholars followed by a moderated conversation with Zoom participants.
