2nd Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander Voices in Higher Education Annual Symposium In-Person
The Asian Studies and Asian American Experiences (ASAAE) Research Cluster at Southern Methodist University invites you to attend the 2nd Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander Voices in Higher Education Annual Symposium at Southern Methodist University (SMU) on April 16th, 2024.
This symposium explores issues, concerns, and research findings pertinent to AAAPI in higher education through multidisciplinary lenses. This year's theme is community building and resilience. The event will explore questions such as:
- How can AAAPI and other ethnic community leaders cope with emotional exhaustion or the feeling of burnout when advocating for civil justice for their communities?
- What are best practices for building solidarity among different ethnic communities on college campuses?
- What is the role of community resilience in rising above racism and ensuring the wellbeing of AAAPI and other ethnic community members?
- What actions are potentially needed to enhance the positive experiences and mental health of AAAPI students, faculty, and staff on college campuses?
Through dynamic presentations, thought-provoking discussions, and interactive workshops, you will...
- Learn how to bounce back from adversity
- Dive into deep conversations about partnerships among ethnic communities
- Examine proactive inclusion and cultural intelligence practices
- Explore innovative inclusive pedagogy
- Enjoy poetry in the park
The main sponsor of this symposium is the SMU Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute. The event is part of the AAPI Heritage Month celebration at SMU and is open to all faculty, staff, students, and the public. We invite you to be part of this much-needed dialogue toward the inclusion, empowerment, and solidarity among AAPI and allies!
