Hello everyone,
Happy May and Asian-Pacific American Heritage month! We hope you are doing well and taking care of yourselves during this time. Asian & Allies Teachers Affinity Group (AATA) is having our next meeting on 5/18 from 2:30-3:30pm on Zoom (link will be sent out once you RSVP).
This month, PhD candidate David Song will be facilitating a discussion for his dissertation, summarized here:
"Multiracial Mandarin: Educational equity, race, and language." I present a dissertation in progress, an ethnographic study of a nascent Mandarin world-language program at a racially and socioeconomically diverse public high school in the East Bay. I discuss racial stratification and projects of educational equity within the school, and its complex implications for Mandarin language education as well as students of color, including Asian-American students.
Please RSVP so we can send you the Zoom link prior to the meeting.
See you there,
Michelle Lo & Meilin Lu
