ABSTRACT
The transitioning was moving away from dead poets to living narratives in opening up my research to involving human persons, and my expertise in qualitative researching and data analysis followed. Unique aspects of Gender Studies that is offered at the School of Arts and Social Sciences are its emphasis on Gender and Sexuality Studies, a dedicated focus on scholarship emerging from, and on, Asia and the intersectionality of genders, sexualities, and ethnicities and religions. The pedagogy one gains from this procedure teaches each one to learn and unlearn the habits of gender itself, to constantly endeavour to discover a future mode of freedom from any form of freedom that precedes it. An interest here was to highlight concerns and narratives away from archetypal western accounts of queer identities and experience. And, further, to consider how contemporary art can participate in asserting queer politics as addressing critical questions of identity per se.
