SAPAAC will host a book club over Zoom on Chanel Miller’s memoir, “Know My Name”. She “gives readers the privilege of knowing her not just as Emily Doe, but as Chanel Miller the writer, the artist, the survivor, the fighter.” (The Wrap). In the memoir, she discusses her Asian American identity in relation to her identity as a woman who’s experienced sexual assault and seeking redress through the legal system. Our book club discussion will center her identity as an Asian American woman and discuss Asian American feminism more broadly.

See this NYT op-ed: Why It Matters That ‘Emily Doe’ in the Brock Turner Case Is Asian-American.

We encourage you to read the book beforehand. But if you’re interested in the topic and don’t get a chance to read/finish the book, you’re still more than welcome to join!

Should 10+ members sign up, we will divide into breakout rooms. If you are interested in co-moderating or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Angela Zhang (’16) at zhangela18@gmail.com.
