Abstract

Three Korean female doctoral students studying at U.S. higher education institutions address our lived experiences in this paper. By drawing on Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Asian Critical Theory (AsianCrit), we reflected upon the feelings and experiences that we swallowed to survive. We used collaborative autoethnography with artistic methods, such as digital collage and poetry, to share how we have wrestled with feelings of shame when reckoning our embodied knowledge of race and racism. Using CRT and AsianCrit, we disrupted racial stereotypes regarding Asians and their invisibility in racial discourses. We end with suggestions for providing support to Asian international students exploring racialized discourse and positioning themselves as qualified professionals and political agents. In sharing our stories, we hope to illuminate lived experiences that have been neglected, misunderstood, silenced, and forgotten.

超越（未觉醒的）身体：基于艺术的在美韩国博士生合作民族志调查

在美国留学的3名韩国女博士生讲述了自己的生活经历。通过借鉴批判种族理论(CRT)和亚洲批判理论(AsianCrit)，我们反思了我们为了生存而吞下的感受和经历。我们将协作式的自我民族志与数字拼贴和诗歌等艺术方法结合起来，分享我们如何在计算我们对种族和种族主义的具体认识时与羞耻感作斗争。使用CRT和AsianCrit，我们打破了关于亚洲人的种族刻板印象，以及他们在种族话语中的隐形性。最后，我们提出了一些建议，以支持亚洲国际学生探索种族化的话语，并将自己定位为合格的专业人士和政治代理人。通过分享我们的故事，我们希望照亮那些被忽视、误解、沉默和遗忘的生活经历。
