The Asian American Center for Psychoanalysis
Event closed

Model Minority Masochism

Event will be on Zoom. Link will be sent out 24 hours before event.

Takeo Rivera, PhD will share some theoretical frameworks and excerpts from his book,Model Minority Masochism: Performing the Cultural Politics of Asian American Masculinity, which "asks what it means for Asian Americanness to discover itself in the process of its own destruction. It explores where we effectively locate the presence of panethnic, racialized, gendered Asian America, through regimes of self-stereotype, self-punishment, and other modalities of subjectivation that, in a different age, the cudgel of normativity would label as perverse."
A clinical case will be presented by Sameer Khan, MD. 

Moderated by Mary Kim Brewster, PhD.

It will be followed by Q&A with the audience.
