Heated Rivalry Lightning Lecture and Discussion Mini-Series – Lecture 2
June 24 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
FreeA veritable cultural phenomenon, Heated Rivalry has amassed a large global following and a devoted fanbase. As a media text, the show also invites us to think about and unpack significant and enduring social issues. Join fellow loons this summer for the Heated Rivalry Lightning Lecture and Discussion Mini-Series, hosted by UBC’s Centre for Asian Canadian Research and Engagement.
Each event in the ACRE’s Heated Rivalry LL&D Mini-Series will feature a 15-minute “lightning lecture” by ACRE Co-Director Dr. JP Catungal, focusing on a scene or two from the series. This will be followed by 45 minutes of open small group discussion with fellow attendees. This session takes place on Wednesday, June 24th from 4:00pm – 5:30pm focusing on Asian Canadian Model Minoritization:
“A lot of kids are gonna be looking up to you”: Positioning Shane Hollander as a racialized model minority
Early on in the series, Yuna Hollander (Shane’s mom) reminds him that his drafting as a professional hockey player is significant not just for him, but also to other racialized people who struggle with the lack of racial representation in hockey. This session will focus on Shane Hollander’s positioning as a model minority and how it impacts his life, including his complicated romance with Ilya Rozanov.
The Heated Rivalry LL&D Mini-Series is a feature event of “Browning Asian Canada”, a public research and engagement series convened by Dr. JP Catungal.
This event is free and open to all, but each event will be capped at 30 people. Reserve your seat so you don’t miss out on this chance to secure your spot early via the link below:
