The webinar includes a keynote by Kim Liao, moderator reflections and dialogue, audience Q&A, and a short brainstorming session for audience members to begin reflecting on their own stories and histories; attendees are invited to submit their inspired work for publication on TaiwaneseAmerican.org (selected pieces will be compensated).
