by Asuncion Fresnoza Flot (ULB/ EASt)

In collaboration with The Asian Literary Festival

EASt joins the Asian Literary Festival Brussels 2025! Asuncion Fresnoza Flot will present her book on situated mixedness in Belgium.

Drawing from empirically grounded studies, the volume Situated Mixedness sheds light on the state of migration-related “intimate diversity”, that is, the simultaneous formation and existence of various configurations of conjugal mixedness. It examines this phenomenon in Belgium, a country in the European Union with a long history of immigration and where an important percentage of registered marriages are international.
