<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Dear Friends,</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">We are pleased to invite you to a special seminar in the University of Aucklands
<em><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">K-Diaspora Colloquia Series</span></em>, featuring Professor
<strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Takeyuki (Gaku) Tsuda</span></strong> from
<strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Arizona State University</span></strong>. His talk, titled:</span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-fareast-language:KO">
</span><strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Ethnic Diversity in the Japanese Diaspora</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-fareast-language:KO">
</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">will explore the complex diversity within Japanese diaspora communitiesspecifically the experiences of
<strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Japanese Brazilians</span></strong> and
<strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Japanese Americans</span></strong>with attention to their ethnic status, identity formation, and transnational connections to Japan.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Although these groups share a common Japanese heritage, their histories, national affiliations, and experiences of racialisation and assimilation diverge significantly. As later-generation ethnic minorities, they
have been shaped by the distinct social and cultural contexts of Brazil and the United States, respectivelyleading to contrasting forms of minority identity, intra-group division, and transnational belonging. For instance, Japanese Brazilians tend to maintain
a more visible and pronounced Japanese identity than their Japanese American counterparts.</span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;mso-fareast-language:KO">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">While the <em><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">K-Diaspora Colloquia Series</span></em> primarily focuses on Korean diasporas, we also welcome insights from other diaspora experiencessuch as the Japanese
diasporato foster comparative understanding of migration, identity, and belonging. This talk will provide valuable perspectives that resonate with and deepen our understanding of Korean diasporic experiences as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
