Jasmine Hwang

Jasmine Hwang is a recent graduate of Concordia University’s BA in Communication Studies, where she also completed double minors in Psychology and Sociology. She graduated with distinction and received the John E. O’Brien, S.J., Medal for Communication Studies, awarded to the most outstanding graduating student in the department.

Now pursuing her MA in Media Studies, Jasmine’s research explores the nuanced experiences of second-generation East and Southeast Asian immigrant women who fall outside dominant immigrant narratives and white normativity. Situated at the intersections of gender, race, diasporic longing, and cultural liminality, her work engages with frameworks of racial melancholia, affect, memory, worlding, and belonging.

As part of the research-creation stream, she aims to produce an interview series or multimedia artwork that amplifies the stories and interior worlds of the people whose lives reflect these themes.
