Bai Vue & HMC, I need you to encourage our members to attend - TopicsExpress

Bai Vue & HMC, I need you to encourage our members to attend the 5th International Conference on Hmong Studies. Registration is still active. If you cant make it to the day conference, come to our evening program at DoubleTreet Hotel. Its an extension of the conference in a more relax and informal environment, yet still professional and academic. There will be two presenters sharing their research on the issues of Hmong men and Hmong women in todays society. I think itll be great benefits for the Hmong Men Circle. Heres a some information on what the presentation will be about. Title: “Hmong Culture and Hmong Men: Are They Resisting Change and Holding Back Hmong Women in the US?” Presenter(s): Dr. Vincent K. Her, Department of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse & Dr. Mary Louise Buley-Meissner, Associate Professor, Department of English, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Abstract: Our presentation addresses a controversial topic that we believe educators in particular are obligated to take seriously. As university professors, we regularly teach courses exploring the creativity of Hmong culture and the complexity of Hmong American contemporary life; for us, culture is a rich source of meaning for understanding how Hmong Americans have been able to achieve so much in the US in only forty years of resettlement. However, we are disturbed by two trends in popular news media and academic literature about Hmong people. The first is negative stereotyping which describes Hmong culture and Hmong men as patriarchal, resistant to change, and maladjusted in modern American life. Even more disturbing is the second trend that Hmong men and Hmong culture are holding Hmong American women back from the full progress that they are capable of making in modern society. News about the progress of Hmong American women includes ample coverage of their enrollment in higher education and professional schools. The “back story” frequently emphasizes how they have broken free of traditional gender roles to become high achievers. In our experience, successful women have been encouraged and supported by their fathers and husbands. In our presentation, we aim to offer a more balanced assessment of the interrelationship of Hmong culture and Hmong American contemporary life.
