Project Purpose
Hello! We are a group of students that are a part of the Academy for Global Studies program at Austin High School in which we investigate worldly topics, issues, and current events in order to become better global citizens. We have recently traveled to Boston, Massachusetts to conduct research about Chinese immigration specifically in Boston and the New England region, but also its past and lasting impacts in the nation as well. Through this project, we gathered information by exploring Boston's Chinatown and interviewing Chinese Americans and experts of the subject. We have also explored the rhetoric of the Chinese culture and its presence and influences in American society today through Chinese American literature, artwork, and newsletters of the past and present. Below, you can check out a small slideshow of some photos we took during our trip to Boston in mid-February.
