Staceyann Chin

“The response from students, faculty, and staff who attended Staceyann Chin's keynote address has been overwhelmly positive. Responses from Women's & Gender Studies faculty, who helped sponsor the event, remarked on the energy that Chin brings to her work. "And when she broke the fourth wall and surged into the audience with her words, it was for me the completion of a call to challenge the culture, politics, everyday actions, and relations that continue to perpetuate sexual assault." Another commented that "Her performance was powerful. It reminded me of what art does for us." Students especially were shook by what they perceived to be her courage for daring to speak out so loudly against oppression. "It reignited my desire to use public speaking as a platform to fight injustice." We so appreciated the time that Chin spent with us and energy she gave us!”
