Especially, how do women writers and artists channel their artistic expression?Join Jennifer Wong, Visiting Fellow, for a conversation with this panel of academics, writers and artists who will share their ideas and writing on what it means to feel at home in a multicultural era, through the lens of personal stories, cultural history and art-making.
