Erased Minorities - the Model Minority Myth and Health Disparities in the API Community

Are you interested in learning about Asian Pacific Islander (API) health disparities? Are you curious about the history behind the model minority myth and how it impacts API communities? Do you want to learn how these issues intersect with race and racism?

Please come join APAMSA and Dr. Jess Guh to begin unpacking these issues at our talk: Erased Minorities – The Model Minority Myth & Health Disparities in the API Community! Dinner will be provided

When: Tuesday 11/6/18 @ 6pm
Where: T435, Health Sciences Building
Who: everyone is welcome and encouraged to come!!! :)

The Model Minority Myth is a narrative constructed by white people and published in the New York Times (1966) during the Civil Rights Movement to justify racial inequities on a societal and institutional level.

Dr. Guh is a Chinese American family medicine provider at Swedish Family Medicine and ICHS Holly Park Clinic. She is an outspoken activist on issues related to race, privilege, class, and medicine. She has worked extensively with organizations about race and diversity, providing services including lectures, workshops, and consulting.

Looking forward to see you all there!
