Dis-Orienting Asian Pacific America: Emerging Perspectives on the Asian American and Pacific Islander Educational Experience

Mon, April 11, 4:30 to 6:00pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 155

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session is comprised of scholars whose work explores the complex and often contradictory forms of diversity that affect Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) educational experiences. We aim to move beyond considering race, ethnicity, and nationality as fixed to generate more nuanced and holistic understandings of AAPIs. We present research that: (1) explores fifty years of education research about Filipina/o Americans; (2) interrogates structures affecting Southeast Asian American students’ identities; (3) examines ways geography shapes racialization for Midwest AAPIs and 4) interrogates the limits of data disaggregation for Native Hawaiians. In so doing, we attend to the needs of AAPIs not often considered in broader research inquiries offering ways to better understand and serve AAPI students and communities.
