OUTLINE
Since the COVID-19 Pandemic, violence against Asians has been reported in many parts of the world. Anti-Asian violence has made visible the deep history of racism and Orientalism that have accumulated in various regions in the world, while they were also reactions against the fears of unknown diseases and the rise of China in international politics today. This symposium will address anti-Asian violence as a topic for global and transborder area studies. Following the keynote addresses on the violence against Asians in the United States and Europe, we will discuss the state of anti-Asian racism and how to resist them in the pandemic and beyond.
