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)
