Please join us to learn more about the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) student experience. 

Presentation: Supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Students With a Culturally Competent Lens 

Presenter: Dr. Joan King

Date/Time: Thursday, May 11, 2023, from 10:00am-11:30am Location: Classroom 2206

Description:Overview of Asian American biases within society, professional environments, education, and even within DEI work. It will draw attention to the deficiencies in which we discuss racial equity regarding Asian American advocacy and disrupt white-centered expectations of Asian Americans. As DEI work is inherently polarized (Black or White), this training will educate the audience with the harm in continuing DEI work that continues to ignore Asian American experiences with discrimination and racism in America. 

The specific topics covered will be as follows (but not limited to): 

• Double Eyelid Bias
• Lack of educational support and differentiation for Asian American students due to the Model Minority Myth
• The lack of socioemotional support for Asian American students when anxiety and intergenerational trauma due to possible immigrant trauma is high
• The onus of communication (as discussed by Malcolm Gladwell) within Asian American communities, the impossibility of Asian American stereotypes given their conflicting natures
