May 10 | 12 - 1 p.m. | Virtual - Zoom
Registration Form for The Table dialogue:
In this month's dialogue, we'll examine the roots of the model minority myth, how it blankets over the diverse experiences of Asian American Pacific Islander communities, and how it impacts other racially minoritized groups, especially within the educational system.
The Table is a monthly dialogue series where UMB students, staff, and faculty are invited to discuss current issues and unpack questions regarding race, ethnicity, culture, and norms.
