Examining the political economy of heteronormativity in Southeast Asian queer migration biographies
This article examines the workings of heteronormativity in Southeast Asian queer migration biographies. By Southeast Asian queer migrants, the project refers to people self-identifying as gender and sexuality diverse from dominant gender and sexuality binary systems and people with variations in sex characteristics who have emigrated out of their home country in the Southeast Asian region. The exploratory study makes use of qualitative data colle…
Racialised Queer Chinese Migrants in Australia
This article considers what it means to be queer, Chinese and diasporic in white settler-colonial Australian society. Considering the narratives of newly arrived young queer People’s Republic of China’s Chinese immigrants and older queer Chinese second-generation descendants of earlier China-born settler-immigrants, this paper asks specifically how these subjects negotiate the boundary of sexual other of whiteness and racial other of straightness…
The woman writer's body
What goes behind the scene of a woman writer's writing process? Beneath shiny finished writing products lies an arduous writing process often remain unseen to readers. The article makes visible two women writers' bodies and our embodied writing experiences through an intersectional feminist lens. Writer One is a Singapore‐born, ethnic Chinese, queer migrant woman academic residing in Australia with her long‐term partner. Writer Two is an England‐…
Navigating Emotions at the Site of Racism
Understanding the emotional landscapes of communities and individuals outside of the metropole requires a close analysis of context-specificities and an appreciation of place-based, local knowledges. In this article, I employ a decolonising approach to expose racism and whiteness through centring the emotional experiences of an Asian migrant queer woman academic residing and working in a white, Anglo-Celtic Australian society. Using autoethnograp…
Transnational divorces in Singapore
Global economic restructuring saw the dramatic expansion of feminised labour and extensive mobilisation of women from less wealthy to wealthier countries to supply reproductive labour. Some migrant women perform unpaid reproductive labour through marriage migration in their roles as wives, mothers and daughters-in-law. The paper seeks to understand the divorce experiences of low-income marriage migrant women in Singapore after their marriage with…
The Working of Heteronormativity
This article uses empirical findings derived from in-depth interviews with remarried individuals in Singapore to present a sociological analysis on transnational remarriage. Contributing to existing scholarship on remarriage, the article discusses specifically transnational remarriages where transnational divorcees enter another transnational marriage. Adopting a transnational, intersectional feminist perspective, the article analyzes anecdotal a…
Heteronormativity and sexuality politics in Singapore
This article explores the family practices of female-headed households in Singapore, specifically, those of lesbian and divorced mothers as they negotiate the entrenched normative orders of sexuality and gender in Singapore. In examining the non-normative lives of lesbian and divorced mothers, this article marshals two distinct fields of study to explore the profound effects of heteronormativity on all who stand outside its fold. Using empirical …
Reconfigured Everyday Lives of Children from Divorced-Parent Families in Singapore
With the termination of a marriage, children involved inevitably experience dramatic changes in different facets of their lives. This article makes use of narrative accounts of divorced single parents to investigate how their marital dissolution has impacted and changed their children's lives. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 25 Singaporean divorced parents. Within the policy and social context of Sin…
Perspectives on Marital Dissolution
This book presents a sociological account on marital dissolution that engages and extends theorisations on individualisation and the contemporary organisation of personal relationships to discuss how the experience of divorce might not be all debilitating but on the contrary, could provide opportunities for productivity, self-responsibility and relationship formation. Using Singaporean divorcees' narrative accounts, the book explores how divorcee…
