Chinese communities have called the U.S. South home for over 150 years, but this rich history has often been marginalized within Asian American studies and Southern history. This two-day workshop brings together scholars, students, educators, and community members to share strategies and highlight new and ongoing efforts to preserve this vital history. The first part of the workshop, held Friday afternoon in Stanley Russ Rm 103, will highlight emerging research on Chinese communities in the South from the perspectives of history, anthropology, literary studies, and Asian American studies, while the second part, held Saturday in Integrated Health Sciences Building 227/228, will showcase community archives and advocacy, and provide educators with resources for engaging this history within and beyond the classroom.
