Purpose

This study aims to explore the pluralities of being transnational, Asian and queer as the foundation for learning to be in solidarity within and beyond these intersections.

Design/methodology/approach

This qualitative study draws from humanizing, relational and duoethnographic research methods to emphasize respect, care and the transformative potential of dialogue toward queer Asian diasporic solidarities.

Findings

This study identifies examples where racialized and queer illegibility can ground solidarity, and describes relational care practices to address illegibility in dialogue.

Originality/value

Educational research around queer and transnational Asian experiences is abhorrently scant. While studies have documented the flattening of Asian experiences, few have addressed the political tensions and possible solidarities within these pluralities. This study resists the homogenization of Asian identities by approaching solidarities with/from/for queer and transnational Asian communities.
