With enduring theoretical commitments to postcolonial critique, feminist thought, and critical race studies, she refuses the whiteness of canons of knowledge, forging theory and pedagogy attentive to historical difference.

They are also often agents of gentrification and other forms of socio-spatial inequality. In this talk, Ananya Roy lays out a conceptual framework of research justice, which includes principles of accountability and reciprocity, as an alternative mode of organizing and making knowledge. One of the key foundations of research justice is the recognition that social movements and freedom struggles actively theorize the world, thereby shifting how knowledge is produced, by whom, and for what purpose. Ananya will argue that this is a “reworlding” of knowledge, making possible new imaginations and practices of a public Asian Studies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1482780802.jpg\" alt=\"Business district in Singapore at sunset\" height=\"1299\" width=\"2309\" title=\"Marina Bay in the evening, Singapore\" \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tTOWARDS A PUBLIC ASIAN STUDIES\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/iStock-1198236379.jpg\" alt=\"Singapore - Aug 8, 2019: aerial view from Canopy Park of Rain Vortex, the world's largest indoor waterfall surrounded by a four-story terraced forest in Jewel Changi Airport opened on April 2019.\" height=\"836\" width=\"1254\" title=\"Rain Vortex in Jewel Airport\" \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tTOWARDS A PUBLIC ASIAN STUDIES\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>The theme of Public Asian Studies aims to conceptualise a framework for thinking about and communicating knowledge about Asia that transcends and bridges epistemological and applicative boundaries.
