She currently works with UBC ACAM as their Marketing and Communications Coordinator, and UBC Geography as their Undergraduate Teaching Assistant. Angela is passionate about using multimedia as a way to learn and connect with the communities that she is embedded in.

\nChristy Fong is a programmer\/quality assurance analyst at UBC Arts ISIT and the web\/communications coordinator at Canadian Literature. She graduated with a BA in English Honours and Asian Canadian & Asian Migration Studies, where she completed a thesis on the 1968-1979 Barbecue Meats Protests in Vancouver\u2019s Chinatown. The project gave her the opportunity to experiment with different research forms, such as short films, websites, and interactive timelines via the intersection of racialised legislation, community activism, and oral histories. New media technologies and their applications to broad-based community storytelling continue to be important motivators in her work.<\/p>\n
