Join us tonight 12/1 at 6 pm ET when we speak with Elizabeth Jacobs about her experience as a Cambodian adoptee and her upcoming film. Upon adoption, filmmaker Elizabeth Jacobs was the only baby out of her fellow adoptees to not receive a single piece of information about her family background. Now, twenty-one years later, she returns to Cambodia for the first time since childhood to uncover the truth about her adoption, as she is determined to find out why, and why her. Eli...zabeth started this project when she was eighteen in her Freshmen year of college. She wanted to document her first time coming back to Cambodia and create a cinematic visual journal of her experiences and uncovering the truth of her adoption.

Looking for another interesting class for next semester? Consider taking Intro to Asian American Literature with Christine Kitano! Here's a bit about the class: In Intro to Asian American Literature,we will work toward identifying new themes and questions we see forming in contemporary Asian American literature. ... For example, how might we account for the growing popularity of Asian American literary texts as demonstrated by the adaptation of Celeste Ng'sLittle Fires Everywhere? Or, in light of renewed bias against Asian Americans due to the COVID-19 pandemic, what can Asian American literature reveal about the dominant ideologies that structure all our lives? Open to all majors, all levels.
