Decolonizing Knowledge Communities

5710 S. Woodlawn Ave.

In consuming news and public commentary about Asian countries and communities, it is important to understand the dynamics of the industry and probe how race affects the work of journalists. The presence of Asian Americans and the way that their national and ethnic identities inform how they navigate space is crucial to this discussion, as white Americans have traditionally been given authority over Asian affairs. In this event, Grace Moon and Bryan Pietsch from the "Washington Post's" new Seoul Hub discuss these issues and provide guidance to aspiring journalists and researchers.
