Brown Bag Lecture: Not Quite - Asian Americans and the "Other" in the Era of the Pandemic and the Uprising

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, join Dr. Ada Cheng for a storytelling performance exploring several major themes: the meanings of home(land), racial profiling and the image of the perpetual foreigner, and anti-Asian racism under the pandemic. Dr. Cheng tells personal stories that reflect both the historical status of Asian Americans as well as the impact of current major crises facing us. This event is presented in collaboration with the Illinois Humanities Council.
