Unpacking Political Storytelling: Digital Narratives of Punjabi Meatpacking Labor in California
In this presentation, I hope to first share some background context on my project by explaining a bit about the labor of California’s Punjabi immigrant community within the meatpacking industry. I’ll then briefly discuss how the project, itself, shifted and progressed from its initial focus on agricultural workers to meatpackers, and their immigration experiences. I subsequently share a bit about the individuals who collaborated on this project, as well as obstacles and lesson learned.
