Join us for a conversation with New York Times reporter Jennifer 8. Lee, author of The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, a book that explores the origin and evolution of Chinese Food in the US. She will be joined by poet Patrick Rosal, author of American Kundiman. Modeling his poems on the kundiman, a song of unrequited love sung by Filipinos for their country in times of oppression, Rosal professes his conflicted feelings for America, while celebrating and lamenting his various heritages. My American Kuniman is the winner of the Association of Asian American Studies 2006 Book Award in Poetry and the 2007 Global Filipino Literary Award.

The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is part of UIC College of Architecture and the Arts and serves as a dynamic memorial to social reformer and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Jane Addams (1860-1935) and other resident social reformers whose work influenced the lives of their immigrant neighbors as well as national and international public policy. The Museum's exhibits and public programs preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the continuation of the historic settlement house vision, linking research, education, and social engagement.
