ON IN-BETWEENNESS
with Luna Malbroux and Dorothy Santos

HEARING ROOM 3 | 3:30pm–4:30pm

IN HIS ESSAY “THE In Betweens,” Jeff Chang examines the uneasy nuances of being an Asian-American—the “model minority,” at once oppressed and privileged. More broadly, how does one articulate and navigate states of in-betweenness when mixed identities entail mixed experiences of race, class, and privilege?

LUNA MALBROUX is a comedian, writer, and now playwright of the upcoming
play, How to Be a White Man, with Faultline Theater.

DOROTHY R. SANTOS is a Filipina-American editor, curator, and educator whose research interests include digital art, activism, artificial intelligence,
and biotechnology. She serves as Editor-in-Chief for Hyphen magazine.
