The Past is Not Past: Japanese American WWII Incarceration and the Yonsei Generation


March 23, 2023

Join us for a webinar that will deep into the
intergenerational impact of Japanese American

incarceration. Highlighting the work of artists,

academics, and activists we will explore “In what

ways do you feel the incarceration has impacted

your own life?” That’s the question posed in Dr.

Donna Nagata’s recent survey of nearly 500

Yonsei descendants of WWII incarceration. Their

responses show that the past is anything but over,

and that the incarceration continues to impact

Yonsei’s identity, career choices, and much

more.

In the first major public event for the Yonsei
Project, Dr. Nagata will share her preliminary

findings and interpretations. She will be joined

in conversation by Dr. Satsuki Ina, Brandon

Shimoda, and Daryn Wakasa.

Date: March 23 | 5pm (PST)
