Author Event with Qian Julie Wang

The law school community enjoyed an evening with Qian Julie Wang, an author, speaker and litigator, when she shared an exclusive reading from Beautiful Country, her forthcoming memoir about growing up undocumented in New York City. Professor Margaret Woo and Wang discussed the recent spate of anti-Asian violence and how the “model minority” myth affects the advancement of Asian Americans in the legal profession and beyond.

This event was presented by the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA). Co-hosts included the Office of Development and Alumni/ae Relations, Black Law Student Association, Latin American Law Students Association, Middle Eastern South Asian Law Student Association and Multicultural Law Students Association.

Qian Julie Wang came to the US at the age of 7, initially living an undocumented life in New York City. She went on to graduate from Swarthmore College and Yale Law School.
