East Meets West, Then and Now: Learning from the Legacies of Transpacific Families

MIT Chinese Alumni Group

Wednesday, May 21, 7:00pm - 8:00pm (America/New_York)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details

Register to participate in a live interactive event with Emma Teng, Professor of Asian Civilizations at MIT.
 
Prof. Teng will share her research on transpacific mixed families and take questions from alumni.
 
In an earlier era of globalization, growing US-China trade, missionary endeavors, transpacific educational exchanges and migration led to the formation of mixed Chinese-Western families, challenging taboos against interracial marriage at the time. Yet, their histories have often been hidden in service to these taboos. What lessons can we learn from the hidden histories of transpacific mixed families and their lived experiences in the US, China and Hong Kong bridging cultural and national differences?
 
Moderator: Humphrey Chen '90, MIT Chinese Alumni Group
