The Livingston Public Library is partnering with The New Jersey Council for the Humanities to host this Public Scholars Project program. Cathy Bao Bean, with delight and good humor, will encourage people to realize and understand (and laugh about!) how we are all at least bi-cultural (by ethnicity, gender, generation, status, wealth, etc.) in a way that shatters stereotypes but explains the generalizations.

Cathy Bao Bean, author of The Chopsticks-Fork Principle, A Memoir and Manual and co-author of The Chopsticks-Fork Principle x 2, A Bilingual Reader for ESL and CFL learners, is a daughter, mother, wife, friend, sister, aerobics instructor, business manager, and Chair of the Society for Values in Higher Education as well as its Summer Workshop for Teachers in China team leader. 

This program has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the New Jersey Council for the Humanities (NJCH). Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or NJCH.
