Her research interests include womanist, Critical Race and interfaith perspectives on justice, peace and reconciliation; dialogic inquiry, socio-cultural approaches to literacy, and critical multiculturalism. Dr. Wong is co-editor with Ilham Nasser and Lawrence N. Berlin of Examining education, media and dialogue under occupation: The case of Palestine and Israel. Bristol, U.K.: Multilingual Matters. She is also co-editor with Elaisa Sánchez-Gosnell, Anne Marie Foerster-Lu, & Lori Dodson of (2018) Teachers as Allies: Transformative Practices for Teaching DREAMers and Undocumented Students. New York: Teachers College Press. Dr. Wong became involved in the peace movement in high school when she joined Yalim (Daughters of Peace) at the Los Angeles Hollywood Los Feliz Jewish Community Center in Los Angeles and attended demonstrations against the war in Vietnam. She was a founding member of the Asian American Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament in New York in the 1980s. Most recently she was a Fulbright Scholar at Birzeit University in the Occupied West Bank, Palestine. She wrote “From the U.S. Mexican border to Palestine: A call to critical literacy and action for the Scholars Speak Out column of the Journal of Language and Literacy Education. We met up together to attend the July 24th in Washington DC, when thousands of demonstrators gathered to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the United States and his joint address made in Congress. In todays show I also took the opportunity to talk to various demonstrators about how their work dovetails with their activism and their choice to be at the protest, so youll hear various voices of resistance throughout the show. SWEAT is a series of conversations about performance and performativity of the sexual and sexualized body at work—where work is broadly defined as the labour of survival, the labour of care, creativity, and capital-a-Art. How exactly do we define our work and how does that work entangle and circumscribe our sexual identities, our creative lives and the ways in which we provide care? How do we perform -- tasks, acts of care, and identities? Anchored in our always already racialized and sexualized bodies, our complex intersectionalities, these conversations are means of relating through work to each other. I hope that they contribute to dialogues which normalize sex work as work, and all work as deserving of respect, healthy conditions, and a living wage.
