Building BIPOC Unity Against Asian Hate
Attendees participated in interactive educational presentation and panel discussions highlighting how our community can feel more equipped to have conversations about race. This panel was designed to create a space where professionals from the AAPI community working in global higher education can come together to share their individual experiences and work together to synthesize a tool kit to better support AAPI and BIPOC professionals in the higher ed system who have been historically underrepresented. It will explore themes of identity (both self-imposed and one imposed by others) within the Asian community, and collective action as we equip ourselves to boldly speak up and out in a system, not designed for us.
