I’m starting my 2025 with a slice of Hong Kong history every day.

We trace Sinophone queer scholarship throughout the past three decades focuses on geopolitics and thus moves away from the one-way, center-peripheral imagination of identity by relying on China as the center, and toward different directionalities and forms of attachments and allyship in HK and TW:

As 2024 draws to a close, I'm very pleased to see this piece, joint first authorship with Wen Liu, published. We propose the #geopolitics of queer archives to trace queer knowledge and activism connecting HK and TW, often overlooked under the shadow of the "greater China" framework. 🧵

Through preliminary discourse analysis of 8 series broadcast by August 2024 and media interviews of creators, Ka-Wei Pang (CUHK) and I explore how the GL media industry charts a new path in queer media, despite its commercial underpinning and references to the production & marketing practices of BL.

Good news that our #GirlsLove paper is now published online. It's the first academic journal in English that explores the recent #GL boom in Thailand, queer media from the Global South!🏳️‍🌈
