Meet A Carleton U Scholarship Recipient 2010 |
|
|
|
 Emerich Daroya completed undergraduate studies in Political Science and Sociology at York University and is currently working on an MA in Sociology at Carleton University. Emerich's main areas of interest are on sexuality studies, queer theory, critical race theory, and intersectionality. And his research is aimed at addressing the gaps in literature on the sociology of desire, which is largely absent from sexuality studies. He wishes to expand the idea of desire to racialized desire, specifically in the context of the LGBT community. Emerich wants to focus on gay Asian men as a case-study of the intersections of race, gender-expression, class, and sexuality with desires and desirability. |
