Throughout their history in the United States, Chinese Americans have made important contributions to the art and film industry and to the country’s food and cuisine. In this workshop, participants will learn about Chinese American actors and artists who have used their platforms to highlight their experiences. They will examine the diversity and expansiveness of Chinese food and restaurants in the United States, and how these were shaped by immigration policy. Participants will gain classroom resources for teaching these contributions in the classroom.

This workshop will be offered twice on Thursday, January 16 to accommodate educators in different time zones. Each session will present the same content.
