DESCRIPTION:\n	Lecture by Prof. Maria Hwang (IGSF and East Asian Studies\, M
 cGill University)\n	\n	This talk compares the regional circulation across As
 ian global cities of independent women sex workers from the Philippines an
 d the global mobility of their male clients\, who are mostly professional 
 expatriates and business travelers from Global North countries. Based on a
  qualitative study conducted in Hong Kong and the Philippines between 2010
  and 2018\, this talk expands current theorizations of global circuits by 
 empirically revealing the asymmetries in the mobility of transnational pro
 fessionals and transnational low-wage workers. It demonstrates the emergen
 ce of “unbound and bound spheres of globalization” in which the formal cir
 cuits of professional expatriates and business travelers are indeed unboun
 d and global in scope while their low-wage counterparts in Asian global ci
 ties\, which includes Filipina sex workers\, are more than likely to only 
 circulate within a bound “regional pocket of free travel” in Asia.\n
