UWL Celebrates: Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Keynote: Dr. Sara Docan-Morgan

Monday May 6th | 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM | The Bluffs in the Student Union | Lunch is provided starting at 11:00 AM

Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with Professor Sara Docan-Morgan's enlightening discussion, "Transnational Korean Adoptees and Family Communication." As a Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, with a Ph.D. from the University of Washington, Professor Docan-Morgan brings a wealth of expertise to her research. Her work focuses on how family and personal identities are formed and negotiated through messages in both adoptive and birth families, offering valuable insights into the complexities of family dynamics. 

Professor Docan-Morgan's contributions have been recognized in various scholarly journals and edited books, reflecting her commitment to advancing understanding in her field. As a former Fulbright scholar to South Korea, an award-winning teacher, and a co-organizer of the International Symposium on Korean Adoption Studies, Professor Docan-Morgan brings a unique perspective to her exploration of transnational adoption. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the role of communication in shaping family relationships, cultural connections, and individual identities.
