In these uncertain times, we wanted to let you know that we are here. We are here, committed to our founding principles of promoting mutual understanding and strengthening links between the people, leaders, and institutions of Asia and the world.
Our critical work continues, and we will use our digital tools to bring you information and conversations that matter, content that will help you understand, content that will help you cope, and, in some cases, content that will help you escape.
As the world grapples with the COVID-19 crisis, you will notice a shift in our focus. In addition to the policy, arts, and education work we are known for, a new thread of online-only content will explore issues related to racism and xenophobia, and also shine a light on people, cultures, and countries uniting together in the face of a virus that does not discriminate based on race, class, or national origin.
We are all in this together. And we are here to do our part, with insights, content, and conversations that only the Asia Society can deliver.
Join us.
