DESCRIPTION:How does a small community preserve its language and identity under pressure to assimilate? This webinar explores the little-known story of a Chinese language school founded in 1938 in Iligan City, Philippines. Through the lens of one institution, we’ll look at how education became a site for negotiating cultural preservation, political pressure, and national belonging. The talk highlights how a provincial Chinese community adapted to changing laws, social expectations, and historical tensions— without losing sight of its heritage. Join us to discuss how minority communities adapt, survive, and redefine identity—and how these stories from the margins can reshape how we think about diaspora, integration, and resilience.
