The latest issue of East Asia Forum Quarterly, edited by Hyaeweol Choi (Gender Institute member) and Tessa Morris-Suzuki, brings together prominent scholars of gender studies from various countries and disciplines to explore the diversity and complexity of issues of gender and sexuality in contemporary Asia. The essays touch on major developments that have caused shifts in gender relations. They illustrate the tensions between structural violence against women and women's own agency in negotiating male-dominated social arrangements.
