ences to consider the multifaceted vibrancies and complexities of Asian Pacific
American individuals and communities. It implies evolution and transforma-
tion. And it denotes the physical and literal (athletic prowess, international
migration), the metaphorical and interior (psychological, emotional), and
the social and political (the rise of celebrity, grassroots organizing).
The series is sponsored by IU's Asian Culture Center, Asian American
Studies Program, Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and
Multicultural Affairs, Departments of History, Department of Communi-
cation and Culture, College of Arts and Sciences, Center for Research
on Race and Ethnicity in Society, IU GLBT Student Support Services
Office, and IU Cinema. Screenings are free, but ticketed.
