Immigration and Community Transformation: Diverse Integration Experiences of Chinese Americans

International migration has transformed Chinese America. Chinese Americans are not only one of the fastest-growing ethnoracial populations but also the most socioeconomically diverse minority group in the United States today. This ninety-minute webinar will address issues of immigration and integration shaping contemporary Chinese America, including the reception of Chinese immigrants and their offspring in society, their lived experiences, concerns with racism and the model minority stereotype, and contributions to American society within their larger transnational and diasporic contexts. Bringing together two internationally renowned scholars, Professor Min Zhou of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as speaker and Professor Cheun Hoe Yow of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as moderator, the event will also address the Chinese American community’s connections to diasporic communities in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries to illustrate the realities of the Chinese diaspora across nation-state borders.
