The Future of Asian Americans in a Multiracial United States

Engage in a discussion on how Asian Americans have been thought about and positioned in an increasingly multiracial United States. Chancellor Carol T. Christ will offer welcome remarks and Elaine H. Kim will moderate a panel of illustrious UC Berkeley alumni addressing how they, as Asian Americans, have creatively taken up and responded to the challenging issues of our times in politics, law, medicine, and the arts. At a reception following the discussion you’ll have the opportunity to meet the panelists and network with faculty, staff, and students. This event will provide support and opportunities for connection that are essential to the strength of AAADS — celebrating its 50th anniversary next year — for generations to come.

Thi Bui '98 Lecturer, California College of the Arts
