Event Description:
The Asian Canadian Asian Migration Studies program invites you to join us in celebrating the launch of the third volume of our student journal, Tributaries, at our annual welcome back event. This event will feature readings and visual art from several Tributaries contributors and a short Q&A and is also an opportunity to learn about ACAM and connect with current students, staff members, and community partners associated with the program.
Tributaries draws from the multidisciplinary origins of UBC’s Asian Canadian and Asian Migration (ACAM) studies program, bringing together different platforms, mediums and genres to explore the diversity of our lived experiences, migration stories, identities, and community connections. We are committed to sharing the stories and voices of marginalized communities across the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, ability and beyond.
This third edition asks, how might we imagine Asian/Asian Canadian diasporic futurities? In asking this question, this year’s journal highlights the intimate relationships between the past, present, and future; the stories we tell ourselves about the past shape how we imagine and construct our futures. The stories we tell ourselves about the future re-envision our past and present selves. This framing reassesses how we engage with our pasts, locate our presents, and work toward our futures, thus providing a lens to imagine the future of both Asian/Asian Canadian studies as an academic discipline, and Asian/Asian Canadian as an identity category.
This event is free and open to all.
