I wrote a column, "Adventures in Multicultural Living" from 2009-2013 or 2014, roughly, that started at Ann Arbor Chronicle and AnnArbor.com and was syndicated across New America Media's Ethnoblog, Chicago is the World, and InCultureParent. You can find them there or for older essays, search "Adventures in Multicultural Living Frances Kai-Hwa Wang" or "Frances Kai-Hwa Wang essay" or "Frances Kai-Hwa Wang" plus topic. Many columns can be found at ethnoblog.newamericamedia.org, chicagoistheworld.org, annarbor.com (now closed although some archived at mlive.com), annarborchronicle.com (now closed), RainbowKids.com (adoption). Some fun local content can be found at Ann Arbor Observer. Many even older essays were written for IMDiversity.com Asian American Village (closed and restarted, all archives gone, although some can still be found in original format with the Way Back Machine). Finally, a prose poem that crosses some multimedia boundaries: Dreams of the Diaspora multimedia artwork at Smithsonian APA Center. |
