Repairing Community, Responding to Anti-Asian Violence: Renewed Directions in Asian American Educational Research and Practice

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

 Recent anti-Asian violence has resulted in a renewed focus on and interest in Asian American histories, experiences, and identities related to educational contexts. This symposium brings together a panel of authors and editors of new major works about Asian American education from multidisciplinary lenses to highlight new directions and framings in Asian American educational research and practice that push the field of critical race studies in education. The key underlying conceptual question for the panel is: How is Asian American educational research being pushed in ways that explore the complexities of Asian American racialization in relation to other racial groups and foster holistic remedies and repair in educational contexts?
