UBC HIST 482 – Virtual Community Showcase

Please find the Showcase Program here.

This year has involved many learning experiences for all of us. As some of you may know, Professor Henry Yu’s UBC summer travel class was converted into an online course this year, as HIST 482 – The History of Chinese Migration.

We are happy to say that, as with previous years, we will still be ending the course by hosting a Community Showcase of student projects – virtually!

We would like to cordially invite you to our Virtual Community Showcase on Wednesday, June 24th, from 4:30pm – 6:30pm. Students will be presenting pitches for their virtual heritage projects and have a chance to meet and interact with community members, alumni, and faculty. In addition, attendees are welcome to provide constructive feedback to the tour pitches.

Students have been researching, analyzing, and evaluating the effectiveness, accessibility, delivery, and sustainability of virtual heritage experiences/resources/tours around the world. Drawing upon their research from other virtual tours and online resources, they will present a pitch for virtual heritage experiences in Vancouver’s Chinatown and Strathcona neighbourhoods.

Many of you have supported the class through your roles as guest speakers, campus partners, and community partners. We are so grateful for your support and enthusiasm.

Please RSVP by Tuesday, June 23rd (updated) using this link. Zoom details will be sent out by email. This event is public to the community – please feel free to distribute to your networks.
