About this Event
Lindsey Sasaki
Visiting Instructor of International Education
Lindsey Sasaki specializes in cross-cultural exchange and training with an emphasis on international migration, ethnic identity, and Latin America. Her research focuses on the Japanese diaspora in Brazil and Peru and the Latin American communities in Japan. In particular, Sasaki attempts to explore how the international flow of young adult Japanese Brazilian students and factory workers to Japan transforms their individual lives and group membership and how ethnicity and identity boundaries shift and are reconstructed under distinct social, economic, and political contexts. As a Fulbright recipient to Peru in 2001, Lindsey researched the relationship among race, culture, identity, and politics focusing on former President Alberto Fujimori’s government and the Japanese-Peruvian community.
