ue, & Spigel, 2003), this full day symposium aims to foster a critical interrogation of the intersection between queerness and Digital Asia. Digital Asia has been a topic for many previous articles, edited collections, and conferences (e.g., 2018 Digital Asia event at QUT and Baulch, Flew, and Li, 2019; 2019 Digital Asia conference organized by NIAS and Lund University). Being the continent with the most Internet users in terms of absolute numbers, Asia has a range of diverse digital infrastructures. While China’s digital media ecology operates as an entirely closed system, in other countries like India, a wide array of both Western and local digital media is available. Hence, in previous works on Digital Asia, issues covered have related primarily to infrastructures, governance, commerce, smart cities, nationalism, and so on. Voices from and about queer communities are underrepresented in this conversation. We understand “queer” as “definitional indeterminacy” (Jagose, 1996, p. 1). Queerness taps into a zone of possibilities regarding our sex, sexuality, gender, and intimacy. Asia also provides a complicated context for the development and survival of queer communities as social norms and laws regarding homosexuality and transgenderism vary across regions. There are regions where governments are taking measures to grant some rights to sexual minorities (e.g., Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage in 2019; Pakistan recognized transgender as a separate gender category in 2017); there are also places where homosexuality is still considered illegal (e.g., Iran, Singapore) or is not legally protected from discrimination (e.g., Hong Kong).</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">As Chen (2010) advocates, “using the idea of Asia as an imaginary anchoring point, societies in Asia can become each other’s points of reference” (p. 212). This symposium takes “Asia as method” as a foundation to provincialize Euro-American knowledge production. This critical vision of Asia has also been taken up in two special issues related to the intersection of transgender studies and Asia studies (Martin & Ho, 2006; Chiang, Henry, & Leung, 2018). In this symposium, we extend this approach to focus on the digital, giving equal significance to the triple concepts of “digital,” “Asia,” and “queer.” We welcome contributions that empirically examine queer digital cultures, platforms, practices, and communities from one Asian region or compare these across several Asian territories. We expect interdisciplinary contributions from the fields of media and cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, regional studies, and related disciplines from the humanities and social sciences. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Broad themes might include, but are not limited to: </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span></span></span></p><ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom:0cm;color:rgb(0,0,0);margin-top:0cm"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Politics of queer digital cultures<span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Digital intimacies<span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Digital circulation and/or economy of queer content<span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-seri
