Overview

Join us for the Annual Kathryn Kenley-Johnson Memorial Lecture, co-hosted by the Longmore Institute on Disability. 

We are thrilled to host renowned author and scholar Mimi Khúc, whose work explores Asian American identity, gender, and disability studies.

Mimi Khúc, PhD, is a writer, scholar, and teacher of things unwell. She is the creator of the mental health projects Open in Emergency and the Asian American Tarot, and the author of dear elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss, a deep dive into the depths of Asian American unwellness at the intersections of ableism, model minoritization, and the university, and an exploration of new approaches to building collective care.
