Abstract
Quarantined Across Borders is our first entirely virtual multimedia online initiative. 80+
authors participated in this initiative from 30+ countries. Our goal with QAB was to
create a wide platform for a broad range of diverse voices to share their quarantine
stories in a timely fashion, especially from/about borderland, immigrant, and diasporic
communities. All entries were submitted by May 15, 2020. Every day in June, we published three
stories. We started at the end of Asian/Pacific heritage month and the beginning of
Pride Month. We witnessed a global uprising as part of the #BlackLivesMatter
movement this month as the stories were published.
