Join us for a thoughtful conversation with Professor Bakirathi Mani, Faculty Director of the Asian American Studies Program and a curator, writer, and scholar whose work bridges literature, art, and community-based storytelling. Professor Mani will share how her interdisciplinary path took shape, tracing moments of curiosity, challenge, and discovery along the way. Whether you’re exploring research, the humanities, or creative scholarship, this discussion offers a candid look at how academic journeys unfold beyond the résume. Open to all students. (Please note time change from original announcement. The event will be held 12-1 PM). Pizza will be served!
