** *Why are growing numbers of Asian Americans migrating to Asia to live
and work?
** *How do we understand manifestations of this phenomenon from “Kimchi
G.I.’s” in Seoul to “Sea Turtle” business consultants in Shanghai and
Indian American IT experts in Mumbai?

Changes in the global economy and government policies have led increasing
numbers of Asian Americans to migrate to Asia to live and work.
Prof. Park’s presentation will focus on three case studies drawn from
Beijing, Seoul, and Tokyo to address the opportunities, challenges, and
predicaments of Asian American life in Asia.
