Pimps, Star Chambers, Ratbags, and Westphalians
Australian public debates about race have featured intense contests about free speech and identity, including about the federal Racial Discrimination Act (RDA). While these developments may be understood as reflecting the contemporary ascendency of “culture war” politics, they may in fact follow a familiar pattern of political contestation around racism and anti‐racism. This article seeks to retrieve some of the history of this contestation by ex…
Education and #StopAsianHate
The COVID-19 pandemic has witnessed an increase and amplification of anti-Asian racism and violence across the globe. Stop AAPI Hate1 in the United States and the COVID-19 Racism Incident Report2 in Australia have documented this rising overt racism and violence against Asians. The killings of 6 Asian women in the United States in 2021, which was racially motivated, highlighted and brought this racial injustice to the fore
Teaching whiteness
‘Representing Race and Gender’ was the first course in the undergraduate curriculum of the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney to foreground race.

We draw on feminist pedagogies to illuminate the strategic ways we hav…

Embodied inter-referencing
This essay examines the pedagogical practice of referencing my experiences as a transnational Korean American woman in the classroom and considers how it opens up space for domestic and international students of East, Southeast, and South Asian backgrounds to reflect on their different identities, histories, and cultures. In particular, it focuses on how this practice enables Asian students to share their experiences of and insights about racial …
Fighting Women in Contemporary Asian Cinema
This essay provides a comparative reading of the female protagonists in two action films from Korea (My Wife is a Gangster) and Thailand (Chocolate), focusing on how representations of their fighting abilities and non-feminine behavior rework dominant masculine discourses of bodily and national authenticity in action cinema. The first half of the essay looks at how Eun-jin, the heroine of MWG, humorously critiques cinematic Korean ‘soft’ feminini…
The failure of Asian American representation in All-American Girl and The Cho Show
This article examines Korean American comedian Margaret Cho's attempts to represent Asian American identity as the star of two television sitcoms, All-American Girl (1994) and The Cho Show (2008). It begins with All-American Girl, showing how its contradictions around race, ethnicity and gender demonstrate the ideological boundaries of the network sitcom genre. It then looks at how the post-network ‘celebreality’ sitcom, The Cho Show, reproduces …
Ghostliness in Asian Diasporic Film and Literature
This paper examines the ways in which tropes of ghostliness and haunting are deployed in three recent books to describe the cultural effects of globalisation, modernisation and transnational movement in contemporary Asian and Asian diasporic film and literature
