During this virtual Young Men’s Group workshop, guest panelists Dr. Oeur and Dr. Goffe will engage members to explore the intersection of race and gender. Discussion topics will include Asian identities and Asian and Black Solidarity Movements throughout history. BCNY’s Young Men’s Group (YMG) is a supportive space where members (6th-12th grade) share their experiences and discuss issues that are important to them.

This Zoom event is private.
