The Mushroom at the End of the World
Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world―and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices. In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what do we make of the ruins we have made?
Participate in this session as we imagine the possibilities with us, unpacking stories not of progress or ruin, but of collaborative survival - a commitment to living and dying in company with the critters around us.

Love is a pious act: Butch Muslim Masculinities, Gendered Subjectivities and Parenthood in Singapore
In Singapore, discrimination toward LGBT citizens has been reinforced through a monolithic notion of the traditional Asian family.
Drawing upon frameworks of intersectionality and piety, Dr Ad Maulod (Duke-NUS) explore how ‘butches’ negotiate, contest and reconcile their queer practices as Muslim daughters around “coming out,” raising children with same-sex partners, biological parenthood and their perceptions of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART).
