Workshop Title: Asian American Male Sexuality

Workshop Description:

Why can’t you say “sexual” and “Asian Man” in the same sentence? Why aren’t Asian American Guys allowed to date white women? Why do so many Asian American women prefer white guys?

No topic will be off limits in this open dialogue about the Asian man’s place in America’s sexual food chain.

Dear Better Asian Man,

We are grateful that you are interested in leading a workshop at ECAASU. We would like for you to participate in our programming schedule. Your topic [Asian American Male Sexuality: A workshop for women] is representative of our theme and we believe that it will empower our attendees to become future APA leaders.

In addition, we would like to know if you are interested in participating in a sexuality panel discussion. We believe you can add a unique voice to our line-up of panelists.

“Dear Better Asian Man,

On behalf of the ECAASU 2009 Conference Board, Laurence and I would like to thank you for your participation in our conference by facilitating a workshop on “Asian American Male Sexuality: A workshop primarily geared for women.” It was really nice having you participate in our conference. We were so happy to see a “Full” sign on your door when we came to visit.

Your support and encouragement for our efforts is much appreciated and I thank you for taking the time to do your workshop. I’ve learned that the contingent of people in the Asian American community, who are interested in educating and empowering the younger generation, is quite small but dedicated. We really enjoyed working with you and hope to do so again in the future. Best of luck and please stay in touch.

Best,

“Dear Better Asian Man,

On behalf of ASU, I would like to say THANK YOU so much for your lecture! ASU has received several emails from participants expressing that they truly learned a lot. As someone who learned a lot myself, I can say that this lecture was extremely eye opening. I am sure that many other Wellesley women walked away with the same feeling.

I hope that your stay at Wellesley and the greater Boston area was comfortable and relaxing. Please stay in touch with Wellesley’s ASU; we hope to collaborate a lot more with you in the future.”
