<\/p>\n

This webinar will feature three presentations followed by a moderated discussion period. It will conclude with time for audience question and answer.<\/p>\n

First, Dr. Jiyoung Lee-An\u2019s talk critically engages with the Asian model minority myth and discusses the invisibility of anti-Asian racism intersected with gender and sexuality in historical and contemporary contexts of Canadian nation building.<\/p>\n

Second, Avvy Go will examine the rise of Anti-Asian racism during the COVID 19 pandemic in the context of the history of legislated racism against Asian Canadians, and the ongoing systemic racism in the form of socio-economic disparities facing people of Asian descent, including those with precarious immigration status.<\/p>\n

Finally, Kelly Go from SWAN Vancouver will share how SWAN focuses its work on addressing the impacts of criminal and immigration law on im\/migrant self-identified women in the sex industry. In this discussion, SWAN is going to talk about the fusion of criminal justice and immigration enforcement at the intersection of race, gender, immigration status (or the lack of), and sex working status to examine the continuation of racist, classist, gendered stereotypes about racialized women, in particular Asian women and its impact on the community.<\/p>\n
