I’ll be presenting at these two events, which are open and online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finding Belonging Amidst Neighborhood Development: A Case for the Arts in Boston\u2019s Chinatown: <\/strong>“The Pao Arts Center uses arts, culture, and creativity to promote social cohesion and community well-being in an ethnic enclave, Boston\u2019s Chinatown. In the same neighborhood, luxury development may be disrupting the community\u2019s close-knit social fabric and sense of a coherent cultural identity. A team comprised of Tufts University researchers, Pao Arts center staff, and community residents investigated whether the Pao Arts Center remedies the effects of this displacement. Preliminary findings from the research will be presented.” Wednesday, October 7, 2020, noon-1:00PM.

Come join a group of civic scholars and educators as they engage in conversation around some of the issues pressing on teachers this school year.” October 8 at 7:00 \u2013 8:00pm ET.
