For many at BU, Chinatown is a weekend destination for dim sum or celebratory dinners out. But Chinatown is a complex community in the city of Boston, with its own residents, long history, and current social issues. How does \u201cbelonging\u201d manifest itself in the Chinatown neighborhood? What is special about it as a community, and why? <\/span><\/p>\n

Join CAS WR 111 students\u2014who this semester have studied the Hub unit of \u201cthe individual in community,\u201d visited Chinatown, and explored the neighborhood\u2019s vibrant art, culture, and history\u2014as they host a panel representing Chinatown non-profits, residents, and other community stakeholders.
