Workshop 1: Asian American Male Sexuality
Why can't you say "sexual" and "Asian Man" in the same sentence? Why aren't Asian American Guys allowed to date white women? Why do so many Asian American women prefer white guys?
No topic will be off limits in this open dialogue about the Asian man's place in America's sexual food chain.
"Dear William and Albert,
On behalf of ASU, I would like to say THANK YOU so much for your lecture!
ASU has received several emails from participants expressing that they
truly learned a lot. As someone who learned a lot myself, I can say that
this lecture was extremely eye opening. I am sure that many other
Wellesley women walked away with the same feeling.
I hope that your stay at Wellesley and the greater Boston area was
comfortable and relaxing. Please stay in touch with Wellesley's ASU; we
hope to collaborate a lot more with Fallout Central in the future."
-Shirley Nah, Wellesley Asian Student Union Executive Board, April 6, 2008

Workshop 2: Searching for an Asian American Pop Culture
We will examine if such a paradigm of APIA pop culture exists, the various ways it has been (erroneously) defined over the past decade and its relevance to today’s Asian American social and political movement. New and current trends within the Asian American arts and entertainment communities will be discussed and dissected. This workshop will also explore the “Asian American arts ghetto", a mentality that has prevented Asian American artists from crossing
over to a mainstream audience. The founders of FALLOUT CENTRAL (www.falloutcentral.com), a weekly internet radio show based in New York City’s features Asian American performers, civil rights activists, and all kinds of working professionals, will discuss how crossover success for an Asian American artist can be achieved and the strides they have made in the development of an Asian-American music scene.
