Why do some people insist on referring to COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus”?

How is this association connected to a long history of “yellow peril” fears in American culture and beyond? What can we do, both individually and collectively, to create solidarity and communal uplift in a time of anti-Asian hostility and other widening social divisions? Please join the College Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Asian American Studies Program to explore these questions and their far-reaching impacts.

Our conversation will feature a reading by poet Lisa Kwong and selected works from the Asian American Studies Program Physical Distancing Creativity Showcase.
