Self-determination as queer survival: Neo-idealism and the remaking of a cultural studies for Taiwan
Towards legal recognition of trans and gender diverse individuals: Three case studies in Asia
Seeing China differently: National contestation in Taiwan's LGBTQ (tongzhi) movement
The field of queer/sexuality studies in Taiwan was pioneered in the 1990s by a group of mainly second‐generation descendants of Chinese civil war migrants (waishengren) who have problematised and disparaged the post‐martial law Taiwanisation of identity and politics.

Hyperreal homoerotic love in a monarchized military conjuncture: A situated view of the Thai Boys’ Love industry
The rise of Boys’ Love (BL) TV series in Thailand over the past decade has sparked critical attention from both academics and journalists alike. Rather than rehashing the trajectory of this development, we analyze Thai popular culture as a contested sexual and political space in which BL performs a paradoxical function within Thailand’s contemporary crisis dominated by a royalist military junta with a penchant for pinkwashing. Through adopting an…
