We’re thrilled to host Dr. Shalini Shankar, author of Beeline: What Spelling Bees Reveal about Generation Z’s New Path to Success, on Wednesday, November 6th from 3 – 4:15 pm in VPD 203, for a book talk and discussion. All are welcome, and light refreshments will be provided. Please share the information below and attached with interested colleagues and students!
Dr. Shankar is a professor of Anthropology and Asian American Studies at Northwestern University. Beeline foregrounds Gen Z, and analyzes the convergence of immigration, “brain sports,” and the shifting media landscape to illustrate the increasingly competitive nature of childhood and how it plays out on broadcast and social media.
We’re delighted that USC Asian Pacific American Student Services (APASS) and Dr. Nayan Shah (American Studies and Ethnicity) are co-sponsoring this book talk and hope to see you there!
