Community Conversation Series: Asian American Identity Issues
Invisible in Today's Race
This event is the fourth and final event in the Saturday Community Conversations Series focused on race. Asian American Identity and Issues will focus on the landscape for Asian Americans, the fastest growing racial group in the country, and engage visitors in a conversation about the complex dynamics of race relationships and dynamics that impact and are shaped by Asian Americans in the United States. Further, many would be surprised that a recent national study revealed that Asian Americans are the most bullied racial group—by a significant margin—in education today. Dr. Dan Balón, Director of Diversity Education and Engagement with the Burlington School District and founding partner with CQ Strategies (with CQ Strategies colleague Tracey Tsugawa and other presenters) will co-lead the session and introduce concepts such as the model minority myth, perpetual foreigner syndrome, and bamboo ceiling.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A green museum is a museum that incorporates concepts of sustainability into its operations, programming, and facility. Many green museums, but not all, use their collections to produce exhibitions, events, classes, and other programming to educate the public about the natural environment. Many, but not all, green museums reside in a building featuring sustainable architecture and technology. Green museums interpret their own sustainable practices and green design to present a model of behavior.
Green museums strive to help people become more conscious of their world, its limitations, and how their actions affect it. The goal is to create positive change by encouraging people to make sustainable choices in their daily lives. They use their position as community-centered institutions to create a culture of sustainability.
