Film Screening + Panel: ADMISSIONS GRANTED, 2/6
In the landmark Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) vs. Harvard U.S. Supreme Court case, fears of anti-Asian American discrimination in college admissions were used to make the case against affirmative action. When the court ruled in favor of SFFA in 2023, it barred the consideration of race in college admissions. Admissions Granted explores the complex issues around Asian Americans, college admissions, and affirmative action. Join a special screening and post-screening discussion with the film's co-directors Miao Wang and Hao Wu; Tufts Dean of Undergraduate Admissions JT Duck; and Tufts undergraduate Anevay Ybanez (Sociology and Film & Media Studies). The conversation will be moderated by Tufts Professor of Sociology, Natasha Warikoo. Pizza provided.
This event is cosponsored by Tufts University's Film & Media Studies; the Center for Humanities at Tufts; Tufts Admissions; the Asian American Center; the Political Science Department; the Sociology Department; the Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora (RCD); the AS&E Diversity Fund, the Education Department's DEIJ Committee, the Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences, the Office of Inclusive Excellence and Leadership, and Tisch College.
