Traveling while... A series of conversations about international travel and identity

RSVP on MyPrincetonU: https://cglink.me/2gi/r1938019

The Office of International Programs and the Carl A. Fields Center are convening a series of conversations around identity and international travel. Identity is never monolithic and always intersectional, but each conversation will attempt to address the experiences of one identity, broadly defined. We expect and hope these conversations will be wide-ranging and frank, and provide panelists and audience members with a chance to reflect on how identity shapes the experience of international travel, study, scholarship and work. This panel convenes faculty, staff and students who are part of the Asian community, broadly defined, on campus.

Presented by the Office of International Programs and the Carl A. Fields Center.
