An Evening with UVA Professor Shilpa Davé: Asians in Action - Media Narratives and Representations in the 21st Century

All alumni, parents, and friends are invited to join us for an evening with <a href="https://mediastudies.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/ssd5q" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shilpa Davé</a>, Assistant Professor, Department of Media Studies, College and Graduate School of Arts &amp; Sciences. Asian Americans have been the subject of popular culture for years, including 21st-century viral trends ranging from K-pop to Crazy Rich Asians and Bollywood crossovers to political figures such as Kamala Harris and Andrew Yang running for president. What unites Asian Americans? As a disparate group of nationalities, ethnicities, and religions, Asian Americans have attracted media representations as a mobilizing force. Shilpa Davé will explore how Asian Americans intersect and shape broader historical, political, and cultural contexts around issues related to social justice and COVID-19 as well as celebrity culture, immigration and labor, citizenship and nationalism, and global migration. Her focus will be on Asian Americans producing and writing their own stories in both independent and mainstream media platforms.Zoom information to join will be emailed to registrants before the event.Sponsored by the UVA Club of Washington, DC and AAPAAN. We hope to see you there!For more information on this event, please contact Victoria Nguyen (CLAS &#x27;16) at 	victoria.quynhnhu.nguyen@gmail.com.
