Let’s Meet Li! (Academic Enrichment)

A while back I attended a panel discussion with Charles N. Li and a few Baruch faculty. When I was initially invited to this panel I was excited because I was under the impression that the panel would be focusing mainly on the book The Bitter Sea by Charles N. Li, which was our summer reading assignment and a book that I enjoyed. So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that instead it was going to be a panel about identity.

At first I felt mislead and was disappointed but as the panel began and I heard what Mr. Li had to say about his identity and what impact it had on him, I began to enjoy it. It was interesting to hear how he ended up absorbing a new identity with each new setting. It also got me to start thinking about my own identity.

The discussion was very pleasant and enriching. I hope that in the future I would be able to attend another event like this. Who knows, maybe next time it will be me up on that stage talking about my identity!
