Who Are Asian Pacific Americans? Luncheon Talk Series
Topic: What’s in a (Group) Name? Exploring Identity Through ‘Labels’
Date: Friday, November 8, 2013
Time: 12-1 pm
Venue: ACC, 807 E. 10th Street
Description: The month of November and Thanksgiving encourage people to give
thanks and reflect on what they appreciate in life. As social creatures, humans
have an innate want to belong to some kind of group, be it a family, culture,
religion, or friend circle. While the act of belonging is comforting, the
labeling of those groups can be complicated and contentious. Do these group
names encourage certain behaviors? Do the group names ultimately help a group?
Or do they eventually hurt a group? Come for the chance to discuss these
questions, which are based on the following article in the LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-taylor-lgbt-labels-20130625,0,3788471.story
