What do we need in these times of unwellness? What kinds of care can we imagine and build for ourselves if we engage our unwellness in new ways?

Mimi Khúc, PhD, is a writer, scholar, and teacher of things unwell. She is the Co-Editor of The Asian American Literary Review and an adjunct professor in Asian American studies and disability studies. Her work includes Open in Emergency, the Asian American Tarot, and dear elia: letters from the Asian American Abyss, a deep dive into unwellness at the intersection of ableism, model minoritization, and the university. She loves cats more than you can probably imagine.
