SUMMARY:Great Michigan Read partner event featuring Curtis Chin: Ann Arbor
DESCRIPTION:Chin will be joined in conversation by University of Michigan Professors Nadine Hubbs and William A. Calvo-Quirós exploring themes of immigration\, identity\, community and the experience of growing up queer in 1980’s American and outside its borders. Together\, they will reflect on how a place of upbringing becomes the setting for an unlikely origin story: In Chin’s case a Chinese restaurant becomes the setting for how a closeted Chinese boy raised on republican politics transforms into a searingly honest Gay writer and activist for social and political activism in both the LGBTQ+ and AAPI communities. This event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Please register here. \nThe event is moderator by CLUSTER co-founder Chien-An Yuan. \nThis event is made possible in part by a grant from Michigan Humanities\, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
