686931 event 1765991897 1765991986 Yung-Yi Diana Pan is the director of the American Studies Program and an associate professor of Sociology at City University of New York, Brooklyn College. Her research interests intersect race/ethnicity, immigrant adaptation, culture, and professions. "White adjacent" nonwhite professionals are presumed to face fewer barriers as they ascend the socioeconomic ladder. Yet, Asian American and Latinx attorneys, physicians, and professors contend with marginalization, explicit microaggressions, and implicit biases within their respective professions. Subtle and not-so-subtle remarks and patterns of exclusion further heighten their invisibility in these spaces. As a result, Asian American and Latinx elite professionals find varying ways to cope and navigate their work life – between the Black/White binary -- through panethnic empowerment and pan-minority solidarity.
