Histories on the Run: State Memory & Hmong Refugee Ways of Knowing: A Conversation with Ma Vang & Kong PhaEast Side Freedom Library, 1105 Greenbrier Street, Saint Paul, MN 55106
Friday, March 28, 2025, 7:00 p.m.; doors, social and refreshments at 6:30
What does refugee history look like when government records try to keep state complicity in producing displacement a secret? How might Critical Hmong Studies help us to understand the forces of empire, war, place, and peoplehood more deeply? How are archives embodied and lived?
Join Professors Ma Vang (UC Merced, Critical Race and Ethnic Studies) and Kong Pha (UW-Madison, Gender, Women, Sexuality Studies and Asian American Studies) for a community discussion on Vang’s History on the Run: Secrecy, Fugitivity, and Hmong Refugee Epistemologies (Duke, 2021) and Pha’s forthcoming Hyperheterosexual Subjects: Racialized Cultures of Gender and Sexuality in Hmong America (University of Washington Press, 2025).
This event is free and open to the public. Complimentary snacks & refreshments will be available beforehand at 6:30.
Sponsored by Sociology and American Studies, Macalester College
