1 Asian Australian Mobilities : Cultural, Social, and Political Jen Tsen Kwok , Tseen-Ling Khoo , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Australian Studies , vol. 41 no. 3 2017; (p. 277-286)

'In the late summer of 2017 as we write this introduction, the Australian sociopolitical milieu has changed. The organising concept of mobilities—upon which the conference and subsequent collection rested—now generates ever more connotations, given recent, highly disruptive developments in the U.K. (as a consequence of Brexit) and, in the United States President Trump’s attempts at a “Muslim ban”. Closer to home, the re-emergence of One Nation and Pauline Hanson as a political force has significant influence on communities of Asian Australians and their experiences of the national public sphere. The current Turnbull government continues the shift towards simplistic “Australia’s best interests” rhetoric with the abolition of the 457 temporary work visa, a move that some argue aligns with One Nation priorities. These contexts and their historical, racial, and political trajectories shape Asian Australian studies today.'

Our ambition is to have two core issues a year on the site with a forum board for people to chat and comment. Why Peril? From the so called Yellow Peril that labelled the wave of Chinese immigration in the 19th century. We are perilious and take risks but not in the way that the Pauline Hansons of the world think!'
