Guest speaker Rev. Salvatierra gave a great lecture called Sanctuary: Protectig and Defending Immigrants. This was such a fitting lecture considering current political events. Thank you for the insight! #GLI_seminar#GLI_CA
Happy Friday! Prof. Hong kicks off today with a lecture on refugees and immigrant history after 1965. This lecture is very insightful and shows the longer history of current political events. @janehonglee

@FromLindz gives her lecture “Late 19th- 20th Century Immigration: History Through Art.” Her lecture discusses how to teach immigration history using art. This creative technique push students to think analytically. Thanks for the great lecture Lindsey! #GLI_CA#GLI_seminar
Remapping Race in Suburban California. TY Dr. Wendy Cheng @scrippscollege for sharing your study of San Gabriel Valley providing insight & understanding of regional racial formation, majority minority suburbs and more. @janehonglee #GLI_CA#GLIseminar@GLI_CAworkshop@Stuart_FND
Prof. Cheng gives her lecture “Remapping Race in Suburban California”. She inspects the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), a lesser talked about suburb of LA. SGV is predominately Asian and Latinx. A theme from her lecture was the multiracial nonwhite identity in SGV #GLIseminar#GLI_CA
Day three started with engaging lectures about Mexican repatriation in the 1930s and Japanese incarceration during WWII. Empathy ran high during both lectures. @Gilder_Lehrman@GLI_CAworkshop#GLIseminar#GLI_CA
@janehonglee uses American political cartoons in her lecture “World War 2 as a Race War”, highlighting the difference between how German and Japanese enemies were depicted. #GLI_CA#GLIseminar
@janehonglee brings up the important differences between “incarceration” and “internment” and why incarceration is the preferred term when talking about Japanese American incarceration during WW2. #GLI_CA#GLIseminar
An interesting discussion raised by Professor Hong as to why historians, especially immigration historians, love to study law and policy. This was part of the lecture “Tracing the Origins of Immigration Restriction, California and the Nation”
