November Series: Immigration,Trauma and Cultural Hybridity

We, as a nation, are pounded by waves of trauma upon trauma. In the midst of the pandemic, fires, tornados, hurricanes, and earthquakes, we see the socio-political, civil and religious systems failing to protect the lives of BIPOC communities, especially women, children and elder population in these communities.

How are immigrants dealing with trauma? What is trauma and what how is it embodied in immigrant communities? What are ways to respond to the trauma that we carry? How have we adapted culturally in a country where we are seen as perpetual foreigners? What is cultural hybridity? In November, ReconciliAsian is hosting series of webinars to wrestle with these questions with Jeehye Kim, Sue Park-Hur and Peter Lee.

Jeehye Kim, AMFT and Rev. Sue Park-Hur are Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR) practitioners. Dr. Peter Lee holds a PhD. in Intercultural Studies from Trinity International University.

Registration is required. All of the webinars will be in Korean. For questions, contact reconciliasian@gmail.com.
