Bringing the Unthought Asian-American Subject to Mind: Cultivating Concern and Care in the Socio-Clinical Space

Join us for this illuminating conversation with Drs. Mary Kim Brewster, David Eng, and Shinhee Han. Our guests confront the dangerous myths of yellow peril and the model minority in the context of negated geo-political histories. They encourage us to imagine the Asian American subject’s relationality as both “Asian” and “American” and as a necessary condition towards repair and recognition.
