\"Virtual<\/p>\n

All alumni, parents, and friends are invited to join us for an evening with\u00a0Shilpa Dav\u00e9, Assistant Professor, Department of Media Studies, College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences on Tuesday, November 17 from 6:00 PM \u2013 7:00 PM EST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Asian Americans have been the subject of popular culture for years, including 21st-century viral trends ranging from K-pop to Crazy Rich Asians and Bollywood crossovers to political figures such as Kamala Harris and Andrew Yang running for president. What unites Asian Americans? As a disparate group of nationalities, ethnicities, and religions, Asian Americans have attracted media representations as a mobilizing force.<\/p>\n

Shilpa Dav\u00e9 will explore how Asian Americans intersect and shape broader historical, political, and cultural contexts around issues related to social justice and COVID-19 as well as celebrity culture, immigration and labor, citizenship and nationalism, and global migration. Her focus will be on Asian Americans producing and writing their own stories in both independent and mainstream media platforms.<\/p>\n

Zoom information to join will be emailed to registrants before the event.<\/b><\/p>\n

Sponsored by the\u00a0UVA Club of Washington, DC<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0AAPAAN<\/a>. We hope to see you there! For more information on this event, please contact\u00a0Victoria Nguyen<\/a>\u00a0(CLAS ’16).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
