Our special guest is Serene based in Vancouver but moved to Montreal to study history and political science at McGill.

Serene helped start the Pan-Asian Collective at McGill to create a space for BIPOC and queer Asian-identifying students who found it  difficult to find a community. PAC is a non-hierarchical group that  began with movie nights and they have taken-off since the pandemic and  their statement on anti-asian racism. Now they have members who tune  into their (Un)PAC events where they discuss all kinds of topics, from all over the world.

Serene  talks about what her experience has been like as a queer BIPOC student and organizer working with multiple different organizations.

Khando Langri is a good friend of mine who I met in several of my anthropology classes. We were both active in campus organizing & protesting, and she started the Students for Free Tibet at McGill. She's working on her master's thesis on Tibetan road construction and the camps in India, laying the foundations for her PhD. She talks about what it's like to be born outside of Tibet and what it means to engage with an exiled community and their landscape.
