Steven Yao, associate professor of English and associate dean of faculty for diversity initiatives, gave a lecture at Binghamton University as part of the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies Department Spring Visiting Lecture Series. Titled "Transplantation and Modernity: The Chinese/American Poems of Angel Island," the talk was drawn from his book Foreign Accents: Chinese American Verse and the Counterpoetics of Difference in the U.S., 1910-Present, which will be published by Oxford University Press.
