UBC Chan Centre
"Are We There Yet?"
Guest lecturer: Wayson Choy
About the speaker:
Wayson Choy explored his personal view that many of us – whether recent arrivals or long-established citizens – suffer fears that may damage Canada’s quest to become a multicultural nation. As an “in-between citizen” all his life, growing up between values and cultures, he proposes some challenging antidotes – “remedies” – that have both lightened and enlightened his life.
