Taste of Place: WRC podcast

 

Writer and host of Whetstone Radio Collective podcast, launched September 2022.

Chinese and Other Asian: a book

 

To be published in February 2024 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, this book will explore the identity and experience of East & South East Asian communities in the UK, contextualising history with contemporary lives. 

 

Through the box ticking of identity forms, bureaucracy has enabled a vast and varied identity to be swept into homogeneity. This book looks to unpick these narratives.
