Chippewa Valley Book Festival: "Sharing a Hmong American Experience" w/ Pao Lor
In the context of his lived experience, Dr. Pao Lor shares insights about how the Hmong went from an intricate, sophisticated, and vulnerable tribal culture in isolated regions of Laos in the 1960s and ‘70s to becoming a part of the American and global landscape.
He addresses five pillars of the Hmong American experience: An Ancient Culture, American Allies, Refugees, American Neighbors and Citizens, and Transformation of an Ancient Culture. Ask questions and dialogue with Lor throughout in the context of larger societal challenges: immigration, forced migration, diversity, globalization, refugees, displaced peoples, and other related topics.
