Check out our new instagram, . Here's today's post, submitted to us by Kathryn G, a doctoral student at Rutgers.
"I identify as Middle Eastern American, or more specifically Assyrian American, which is a diaspora, and my mom's family is from all over the Middle East, so I also identify as Lebanese, Syrian, and Iraqi (but Middle Eastern American is easier). The stories my mom and grandparents told me about their lives and struggles are some of my most important memories. People can't tell my ethnicity by looking at me because I look "ethnically ambiguous" (and generally automatically pass as Jewish these days because I changed my last name when I got married 5 years ago). Sometimes people think I'm Israeli or Arab-Jewish. Rutgers' diversity is one of the things I love most about it. The English department's Anti-racism Colloquium is starting some really important conversations."
