Stories Buried, Stories Told: The Entangled Histories of Asia and St. Louis

This event is sponsored by the Incubator for Transdisciplinary Futures, WashU's departments of East Asian Languages and Cultures, American Cultural Studies, and History, and in partnership with researchers from the Missouri Historical Society's Chinese American History Initiative

Stories Buried, Stories Told traces how Asian migrants and Asian Americans arrived, lived, and died in St. Louis, and how they are remembered—or forgotten. Moving from early migration and community-making to burial, memory, and storytelling today, the symposium asks whose stories become part of the city’s history and who gets to tell them.
