Chopping the Boundaries:
Looking past the stereotypical Asian
Are all Asians good at math? Know martial-arts? Aspire to be
doctors, engineers and dentists? Do Asian youth aspire to be more
than these stereotypes? What shapes career paths? How can we change
the 'model-minority' myth?
Join us for a discussion on 'non-traditional' Asian careers.
Hear personal stories from young Asians who are breaking stereotypes
in a variety of careers like journalism, multimedia and more.
Discover the challenges they faced from parents, friends or even
the industry they entered and how they overcame them. The discussion
will be in English and a question answer period will follow.
Date: April 26, 2006, 5:30pm
Location: 215 Spadina Ave., suite 124
(just 2 blocks south of Dundas and Spadina - Chinatown)

FILM: The Magical Life of Long Tak Sam
The screening is FREE for students with valid ID and reservation. The
film is an award-winning documentary that shows the life of
a Chinese acrobat and magician, Long Tack Sam, who overcame
isolation, poverty and extreme racism to become one of the most
successful vaudeville acts around the world. His story is one
of tolerance and destroying stereotypes. Once internationally
renowned, the performer's legend has all but disappeared. Now,
his great-granddaughter Ann Marie Fleming travels the world,
unravelling the mystery of the man through conversations with
family and friends, acrobats and magicians.
