CHSA Discussion: Echoes Across the Ocean

Most histories focus only on the arrival of immigrants in the West. But the Chinese diaspora was a continuous circle of cultural exchange. Our ancestors deeply influenced the communities they adopted, while simultaneously transforming their ancestral homelands in Southern China.

Join the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) for a profound exploration with Dr. Selia Tan, world renowned expert on overseas Chinese history, cultural conservation and root-searching, based in Guangdong, China. This presentation addresses the transnational history of Chinese emigration from the Taishan and Kaiping districts and her experiences in assisting overseas Chinese with genealogical research.

This program includes a Q&A session.

Tickets are $15 and includes a complimentary lunch buffet.
