Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
Documentary Screening and Q&A with Distinguished Chinese Writer Bai Xianyong (Kenneth Pai)
The Center for East Asian Studies at the Department of Asian Studies at UT will host a screening of the documentary, “General Bai Chongxi and the February 28 Incident” and seminar by Professor Bai Xianyong (Kenneth Pai).
When:
October 23, 2015 2:00pm to 3:30pm
Where
Professor Bai Xianyong (Kenneth Pai) is one of the most distinguished contemporary Chinese fiction writers and a leading figure in Taiwan’s Modernist literary movement of the 1960s, whose work has been widely read in Taiwan, Mainland China, and the Chinese diaspora.
The documentary is a rare disclosure of tumultuous events surrounding February 28 Incident in Taiwan in 1947. General Bai Chongxi, Professor Bai Xianyong’s late father and a famous Nationalist general during the Sino-Japanese war and the Chinese civil war, played a significant, yet insufficiently known, role in the aftermath of this tragic event.
The screening and Q&A section is open to all UT students and the public.
Please note, however, this recently produced documentary does not have English subtitle.

Free and Open to the Public
