<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Peer pressure, unsolicited sexy pictures via Tinder, “I’m not racist, I just prefer Asian women…” For Chinese international students in Sydney, navigating the local dating scene is complicated, to say the
least. Besides the obvious question of “how”, the hidden, and arguably, more important question is “why” and “what does it all mean?” Xi Chen, who recently finished her Honours thesis (First class) in Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney, aims to answer
these questions using a transnational feminist approach that not only reveals the entanglement of race, sexuality and power, but also strives to think about and with the non-white sojourners inhabiting a white social space.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<i>‘Sojourner intimacies: Chinese international students negotiating dating in Sydney’</i> is an one-year-long mini-ethnography informed by nineteen in-depth qualitative interviews with both queer and straight participants engaging a vastly diverse range of
lifestyles in Sydney: single (never dated and new broken up), those going on dates, enjoying casual hook-ups, in a relationship, living with a partner, in a long-distance relationship. She is also currently running a peer-led safe-space initiative – Project
Coffee, catering to individual international students who are in need of peer support that is free of judgment and conflicting interests.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
