———–

Since 2001, Phil Yu’s Asian American news/culture blog AngryAsianMan.com has risen to become one of the most-well known blogs on the net, acclaimed by the Washington Post “as a daily must-read for the media-savvy, socially conscious, pop-cultured Asian American.” Mixing humor with criticism, Phil’s commentary has been featured and quoted in stories for the Post, Los Angeles Times, National Public Radio, USA Today, MSNBC, Newsday, CBS News and SF Gate. On September 23rd at UBC’s Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, Phil will share the inspiring story of starting one of the most influential online spaces in today’s Asian American movement, share tips on how he keeps his content accessible and relevant, and what was involved in moving AngryAsianMan.com from activism to super-blog status. To minimize the carbon footprint of this event, Phil Yu is speaking in Vancouver via video-conference from his headquarters in L.A.
