C100 Conversations: “Recollections, Pioneers and Heroes” Featuring Gordon Chang

Join the second Committee of 100 (C100) Conversations – “Recollections, Pioneers and Heroes” event. This program features interviews of Chinese Americans who have contributed to the success of America through their pioneering efforts, heroic achievements, or recollections of important events.

The second Committee of 100 Conversations event will feature Gordon Chang, Professor of History at Stanford University, who will talk about “The History of Asian American Contributions to America” and his own personal journey as a scholar in his field.

Chang will provide a crucial historical perspective on the urgent issues facing Asian Americans in a time of rising international tensions and anti-Asian sentiments at home. In addition, he will reflect on his scholarly trajectory and his journey into Asian American studies as a field of study. Chang will comment on his latest book, War, Race and Culture – Journeys in Trans-Pacific and Asian American Histories, a career-spanning anthology of significant essays that prompt conversations across his broad-ranging research interests and personal history, from trans-Pacific history and Asian American history to art history.

Peter Young, Chair of the Initiative and a Committee of 100 Member, will be the moderator. There is no fee for the webcast. The video recording and podcast will be published thereafter and will be available on the Committee of 100 website.
