Presenter: Dr. Phillip Hutchison, Department of Asian American Studies, CSUN
A Short Introduction: “The past is never dead. It's not even past.” I would like to share moments in Asian American history that help us understand the roots of the forever foreigner and model minority stereotypes, especially as they continue to affect Asian Americans today. History will remain the primary focus of the talk.
