27-November 2
THURSDAY, OCT. 27:
LECTURE: As part of
Cultural Harmony Week, author Cathy Bao Bean will give a lecture titled "Living
& Laughing by The Chopsticks-Fork Principle." Rooted in the telling of one
family's life, "The Chopsticks-Fork
Principle: A Memoir and Manual" is a story for all families. In
this humorous and poignant memoir, the author, an immigrant from China,
recounts how she figured out to be herself, as well as how to raise a son whose
white American artist father did things like paint the lawn. As Bean attempts
to satisfy disparate cultural norms, she provides us with a unique window into
the experience of a bicultural family. "The
Chopsticks-Fork Principle" also is a manual that explains how
anyone who steps outside the home can benefit by greater awareness of the
diversity within and around us. 7 p.m., Newton Hall, Room 204. Free and open to
the public.
