Stretched kinship
For lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer + people, family and peer support are often important in their identity development during early adulthood. Young queer adults who have moved out of the family to pursue university education often seek out a sense of community and a feeling of kinship with other LGBTQ+ individuals as they journey through their identity transition. Based on semi-structured interviews with eight self-identified quee…
Rethinking Queer (Asian) Studies
This paper considers queer studies in the global geopolitical hotspot of Asia, as well as how we can reimagine queer theories through both the Covid-19 pandemic and the intensified regional and global superpower competition and geopolitical tensions. It argues for a rethinking of queer studies through today's international relations and geopolitical complications in a sociological political economy. The aim is to connect critical studies with ana…
Taiwan's Same-Sex Marriage Legislation
In 2019, Taiwan became the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage (SSM). This article considers the social movement strategies and relational dynamics of three activist groups in the year leading to the landmark SSM legislation, respectively representing the “yes,” “no,” and “alternative” agendas in the public debates and social mobilization around the issue of equal marriage rights. Through a critical study of the three cases, this article …
Stretched Kinship
Kinship has been the primary concern among young queer people in today's China and other parts of Asia under the strong and ongoing familism, who often find it challenging to come out and negotiate their sexuality with their parental family. This paper adopts the concept of stretched kinship to critically analyze the digital videos released by PFLAG China (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays in China) from 2015 to 2020, focusing on the exper…
Out on YouTube

This paper considers and compares two (sets of) coming out videos on YouTube from the Rhodes brothers in the United States and the Huang brothers in Taiwan that both became landma…

Trade Reform and Manufacturing Performance in Mexico
Since the trade liberalisation of the mid 1980s the trade regime facing Mexican manufacturers has changed dramatically. The economy has moved from one where import substitution behind tariffs and some licensing restrictions was the norm to a highly open trading environment with virtual free trade between Mexico and its largest trade partner the USA and modest tariffs of around 10 per cent with other countries. Since the late 1980s manufactured ex…
Trade Policy Reforms and Performance in Africa in the 1980s
For the countries of Africa the 1980s was a decade of depening economic crisis. The international economic environment became increasingly hostile, with declining terms of trade, recession in the industrial countries, and heavy debt-servicing burdens. Domestically, many economies were disrupted by severe drought conditions and civil disturbances
