Associate Professor, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Chapman University, Dr. Stephanie Takaragawa, will share a presentation that looks at the increase in hate crimes against Asians in America that has occurred since the onset of the pandemic, through the lens of the Yellow Peril and legislative acts in US history. Why is it that Asian Americans continue to be a “perpetual foreigner” in their own country? How have model minority stereotypes made discrimination against Asian Americans invisible or acceptable? All are welcome.
