"Locating Kinship Across Space and Time"
October 5 - 7, 2023
Washington DC and Virtual
The 1882 Foundation is excited to announce the second Chinese American Women in History conference to be held in Washington DC this fall. Themed “Locating Kinship Across Space and Time,” the conference aims to explore how Chinese American women, both as historical subjects and contemporary practitioners of history, have forged interpersonal connections, fostered care, and facilitated community.
This conference is kindly sponsored by the 1882 Foundation, the Chinese American Museum DC, and the Ruth H. Kuo and Rhoda How Memorial Foundation.
We will welcome scholars, filmmakers, creatives, and community members alike to share their work exploring the multifaceted and complex experiences of Chinese American women. Topics include the figures of Soo Yong and Anna May Wong, Chinese Americans in 1900's mass entertainment, Chinese American Hawai'i-based labor organizer Ah Quon McElrath, and the legacies of Chinese American women filmmakers, with many more subjects still to come.
Set at cultural institutions across Washington DC, the conference utilizes the breadth and depth of the 1882 Foundation's partnerships with institutions, organizations, and individuals alike pursuing Asian American public history in the District and nationally.
