This project has been conceived and developed by ESEA Hub in conjunction with our community partner, SEEAC, following engagements in the project Responding to COVID-19 Anti-Asian Racial Violence through Community Creativity, Care, Solidarity and Resistance.

Building on four years’ work with East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) communities in the UK, this project offers a toolkit to support academics and other researchers to engage with ESEA community organisations and individuals ethically and sustainably. Despite standard academic principles and protocols of ethical research, this is important due to post-COVID increased interest in (but concomitant lack of knowledge of) ESEA communities in the UK, who are an invisible and overlooked group (Yeh 2021), even in migration and race scholarship.
