Webinar Description:

This session should particularly benefit Asian American womxn in higher
education who are interested in gathering, reflecting, and sharing
strategies for individual and institutional change. Asian American womxn
continue to be minoritized, facing microaggressions informed by stereotypes
that we are small and demure - silent. But we are here in higher education
and we look forward to gathering with you to reflect, brainstorm, and
build. In our respective institutions, we face whiteness and
invisibilization and in our personal lives we are mothers of multiracial
children.

How do we take up space as gendered and racialized people in higher
education? What landscapes do we navigate and how do we do this? How do we
work toward health equity and social justice while uplifting each other?
The collective identity and experiences of the facilitators span Filipino
and Korean/Chinese ethnicities, Nursing and Occupational Therapy health
professions programs, Generation X and Baby Boomer, and Second-Generation
and Third-Generation Asian Americans. We will have a particular focus on
the three R's: Race, Resistance, and Resilience.

Levels of experience: all levels welcome
