HYPHENATED AMERICANS: Immigration & American Identity, 2013
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, University Community Connections (UC2)
IPFW, Walb Old Ballroom, 7:00pm
The panel includes a Kenyan-American, an Arab-American, and a Burmese-American.
Given the increased immigration from non-Western European countries in the last decades, how have American values and the American experience influenced and formed recent immigrant experience and practice, and how have the new immigrants re-shaped American identity and what it means to be an American? Please join our open dialogue with a diverse panel from local immigrant communities while we explore what it means to be an American in this new millennium. The panel will be made up of a Kenyan-American, an Arab-American, and a Burmese-American.
Each will have an opportunity to tell their story, followed by a time for Q&A.
Participants: Dr. Saneta Maiko, Crime Victim Care of Allen County; Ahmed Abdelmageed, Manchester University; Minn Myint Nan Tin, Burmese Advocacy Center; Dr. Michael Spath, IPFW, moderator.
The presentation is free and open to the public.
