She is an adjunct professor of Asian American studies and disability studies. Informed by her personal observations and academic studies, her book is "a journey into the depths of Asian American unwellness at the intersections of ableism, model minoritization, and the university, and an exploration of new approaches to building collective care."

The event will take place on Tue Feb 11 2025 at 5pm PST. Don't miss out on this opportunity to hear from this talented and insightful author!


EVENT FAQ:

    Who is this group for?

    • This conversation is open to adults 18+ of any background. Please note that the conversation will center on Asian & Asian American themes.

    What type of book club vibes can I expect?

    • This book club will be more of a casual conversation about the book and how it can connect to our lives, rather than an in-depth literary discussion (though you're welcome to share your literary insights).

    What will the event agenda involve?

    • For book discussion meetings, most of the meeting will involve breakout groups with instructions and questions provided by the facilitator. There will also be time for all attendees to converse together. For the author discussion, there will be an interview of the author and audience Q&A.

    Can I join if I didn't finish the book?

    • Absolutely! While it would be helpful to read the book for a richer conversation, you can still participate without having done so.

    Do I have to attend both sessions of a book, i.e. the group discussion AND the author's discussion?

    • Nope-feel free to come to either session, or both! 

    Does this event cost money?

    • This event is free!
