Williams' paper was titled "Passage to America and the Alien Immigrant: The Trope of Body as Location and Dislocation, and the Construction of Home in Hauling Nieh's Novel, Mulberry and Peach: Two Women of China." The paper discussed the various ways the Asian female body inhabits specific political and social locations or dislocations. It particularly examined how a woman's body serves as a symbolic location of homeland and nation, while also representing dislocation, and signifies the stranger in the society in which it dwells.
