Fulbeck, who is of Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh ancestry, speaks on issues of identity, body art, and multiracialism. His presentation is a part of the Hapa Project, which offers a chance for people of mixed racial descent to answer the question “What are you?” in their own words and to be pictured in simple portraits. Hapa is a slang word for Asians and Pacific Islanders of mixed ethnic heritage. The project inspired a book, Part Asian, 100% Hapa, which will be available for purchase after the presentation. In addition, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is participating in a food drive competition against the other Conference USA institutions during November. C-USA is encouraging participation across campus, and a drop box will be provided at this event. Those who attend are encouraged to bring a canned food item. For more information, contact Kyndra Outlaw of the Student Activities Council at 901-678-4994. |
