Sangam is an Asian-American student discussion group at the University of Pennsylvania. What is Sangam? What does Sangam do?

The mission of Sangam is to promote discussion on social, political and cultural issues pertaining to the Pan-Asian community. We hold monthly Chai Chat discussions (with free chai and samosas!) on a variety of issues; past topics include representation of Asians in the media, interracial dating, perceptions of beauty, and Asian stereotypes.

Sangam Chai Chat: Class and (In)Visibility in Asian America RSVP 10/04/2021

With the Asian American community growing more and more each year, it's important to remember that Asian America is not a monolith, that it encompasses so much diversity and differences in every aspect of culture. It's important to preserve and amplify the voices of Asian Americans who are marginalized because of their ethnicity and/or their class. Come out to our Chai Chai TODAY at 4:30PM in Houston Hall 218 (Ben Franklin Room) to discuss and learn more about this intersection of identities (and get some samosas and chai)!

Coming to you today with our lovely Special Events Co-Chairs!

What is your struggle meal? Oooh; when I'm having a rough day I tend to gravitate towards warm foods that won't upset my stomach, typically a version of Indian rice soup/porridge and a type of bean curry with pickles.

What is the best advice you've ever received? Simply work hard and trust that things will work out; they most likely will.

What would your role be in an apocalyptic movie? Honestly, I would be the first to die simply because I don't think I would bother to run.

Give us your hottest take. I'll give you three! Pineapple belongs on pizza; mint chocolate ice cream is one of the best ice cream flavors; mustard is the superior condiment.
