In this interactive zine workshop, activist-educator Shengxiao “Sole” Yu and scholar-activist Joyhanna Jung Yoo will lead participants through an exploration of their personal relationship to their heritage language(s). The workshop will ask participants to reflect on the relationship of language in their lives as it pertains to identity, family, thought, and more. The workshop aims to bring together students and broader community members to think about the connections between issues of language to broader community and social concerns.
