The Honors Program invites you and your students to join us for our biannual Distinguished Lecture Series event on Monday, November 3rd from 5:30-6:30pm in Eaton Humanities, room 250.

We’re thrilled to announce that Dr. Jennifer Ho will be our featured speaker this semester. In her talk, "Joy as Resistance in Fascist Authoritarian Times or Why I Am an Anti-Racism Advocate,” Dr. Ho will discuss how joy can serve as a powerful form of resistance to the exhaustion caused by fascist authoritarianism, sharing her personal journey into anti-racism and the transformative role joy plays in sustaining her resistance and advocacy.

The daughter of a refugee father from China and an immigrant mother from Jamaica, whose parents themselves were immigrants from Hong Kong, Jennifer Ho is the director of the Center for Humanities & the Arts and Professor of Ethnic Studies at the ��������, where she specializes in Asian American literary and cultural studies and Critical Race Theory. She is past president of the Association for Asian American Studies (2020-2022), the editor of four essay collections, the author of three scholarly monographs and a number of essays and articles, both research oriented and public facing. In addition to her academic work, Ho is active in community engagement around issues of race and intersectionality.
