Dr Jean Shim Yun Lecture: Ava Chin, Mott Street

The Dr. Jean Shim Yun Lecture Series at CSREA spotlights scholarly research focused on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Each year, the Series invites groundbreaking academics and artists to campus to enrich conversations of race, ethnicity, and identity, particularly in context of the immigrant experience. Mott Street: A Chinese American Family's Story of Exclusion and Homecoming Ava Chin, Renowned Author and Writer As the only child of a single mother in Queens, Ava Chin found her family’s origins to be shrouded in mystery. She had never met her father, and her grandparents’ stories didn’t match the history she read at school. Mott Street traces Chin’s quest to understand her Chinese American family’s story. Over decades of painstaking research, she finds not only her father but also the building that provided a refuge for them all. This event was moderated by Shelley Lee, Professor of American Studies at Brown University. Keep in touch with the Center via our newsletter https://csrea.link/hello, or on Twitter @raceethnicity.
