In this week’s seminar, Michael Yang and Lilian Thaoxaochay further explore the current context of AAPI community in the California food and agriculture systems, with a particular emphasis on Hmong immigrant perspectives.

In early January 2022, Kristyn Leach gave a Zoom talk to an interdisciplinary seminar that consisted of undergraduates, graduate students, and farmers. The seminar was on Asian American farmers in California and cultural memory banking, and it brought together people from different fields of study and varying levels of knowledge in farming and seed saving.
