Tributaries, the Asian Canadian and Asian Migration Studies Student Journal, draws from the multidisciplinary origins of UBC’s ACAM program, bringing together different platforms, mediums and genres to explore the diversity of our lived experiences, migration stories, identities, and community connections.
This third edition asks, how might we imagine Asian/Asian Canadian diasporic futurities? In asking this question, this year’s journal highlights the intimate relationships between the past, present, and future; the stories we tell ourselves about the past shape how we imagine and construct our futures. The stories we tell ourselves about the future re-envision our past and present selves. This framing reassesses how we engage with our pasts, locate our presents, and work toward our futures, thus providing a lens to imagine the future of both Asian/Asian Canadian studies as an academic discipline, and Asian/Asian Canadian as an identity category.
