In September 2023, we launched a mini-talk series highlighting ESEA academics in the UK and their work with ESEA communities. Every month thereafter, we will release a lecture by an ESEA academic on an aspect of their work that they would like to spotlight and bring to the attention of a wider audience. We aim to raise awareness of ESEA academics and their work and create opportunity for academics to enhance the impact of their work, bring it to a wider audience and become more publicly recognised.
This project is part of a wider project Responding to COVID-19 Anti-Asian Racial Violence through Community Creativity, Care, Solidarity and Resistance. Building on the previous three years’ work with East and Southeast Asians (ESEAs) communities in the UK, this project will co-research and co-create educational resources on ESEAs to begin building a sustainable infrastructure of knowledge and representation. This is important as ESEAs are an invisible and overlooked group and there is very little public and academic knowledge on these communities.Add here list of links to each Academic's page.
