Calling Asian-Americans in Boston!

by Carmen Van Kerckhove

If you’re in the Boston are and are interested in Asian-American issues, you should definitely check out BASIC, which stands for Boston Asian Students Intercollegiate Conference. It’s happening on Saturday, October 13 and is being hosted at Harvard this year.

Not only will you catch me presenting the workshop Cute but Confused: Myths and Realities of Mixed Race Identity, but you’ll also be able to see Becky Lee from Survivor: Race Wars (as we like to call it here on Racialicious) as she’s the keynote speaker. It should be interesting to hear what she has to say about the experience.

There are lots of great workshop topics, covering everything from gender and sexuality to wealth disparities, from sexism to art, from gentrification to domestic violence, from social justice activism to pop culture. And the registration will only set you back 20 bucks!

Hope to see you there!
