Asian American Activism in Practice; Learning from Each Other
EVENT: AAAGS Fall Event: "Asian American Activism in Practice; Learning from Each Other"
Description: Come join us for our first-ever workshop about the practical applications to activism geared toward a broad audience of undergraduate, graduate, and community members. All are invited to attend. This will require active participation and discussion in smaller group break-out sessions on the topic of media portrayals, the impact of immigration reform, racial quotas in school admissions, and racially-motivated hate crimes facilitated by graduate students at Madison.
When: Tuesday, November 13, 2007, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Where: Helen C. White Building, Room 7191 (room holds about 100 or more)
Who: Every major Asian American student organization member and allies are welcome
What: We will be featuring local speakers and gearing this workshop toward gaining hands-on skills to advocate and talk about the issues that matter to you. The theme is "learning from each other" because we all come from different career and student leadership backgrounds and can benefit from learning from one another's activism and energy.
Speaker:
Ray Hsu is a Ph.D. candidate in English literary studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He won a Humanities Exposed Evjue Research Award for establishing a creative writing community and GED tutoring program in a prison.

Facilitator:
