- Abstract
- Julie Uhm participated in this interview in her first semester at Brown University in 1989. She discusses her Korean heritage and her high school experience as an Asian American in New Jersey. She explains her encounters with racism throughout her life and broadly describes her observations of race relations in the United States and on the Brown campus. Kao notes that Brown was not her first choice school but the homogeneity of other campuses influenced her decision. The majority of the interview is spent discussing the Third World Transition Program (TWTP) -- a program that welcomes new students to Brown and provides an exploration of systems of oppression that exist in our society today, including racism, classism, sexism, cissexism, heterosexism, ableism, and imperialism. Kao extensively shares her experience in the program and her opinions about it. Other organizations that are mentioned are the Asian American Student Association and Friends of Southeast Asians.
