Our first episode of In Residence is a conversation between Executive Director Brian Boyles and Mass Humanities board member Dr. Emma Teng, professor at MIT. Emma discusses Taiwan and China and how the U.S. needs a better understanding of Asian American history in order to break the patterns of negative stereotypes directed at Asian Americans that have arisen from the coronavirus. She talks about historical patterns of discrimination and how we can learn from other countries in their response to the crises.
