December 14th at 1 PM EST Identity Journeys: The South Asian American Student Experience

south asian students

Near­ly 5.6 mil­lion South Asians live in the Unit­ed States. The South Asian com­mu­ni­ty in the Unit­ed States com­pris­es of indi­vid­u­als with ances­try from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pak­istan, Sri Lan­ka, and the Mal­dives. The com­mu­ni­ty also includes mem­bers of the South Asian dias­po­ra – past gen­er­a­tions of South Asians who orig­i­nal­ly set­tled in many areas around the world, includ­ing the Caribbean, Africa, Cana­da, Europe, the Mid­dle East, and oth­er parts of Asia and the Pacif­ic Islands. The com­mu­ni­ty is far from homo­ge­neous; South Asians are not only diverse in terms of nation­al ori­gin, but also by virtue of pos­sess­ing a vari­ety of eth­nic, reli­gious, and lin­guis­tic char­ac­ter­is­tics. They are also diverse in terms immi­gra­tion and socioe­co­nom­ic sta­tus. 

It is not surprising that the experiences of South Asian students in the United States is just as nuanced as the countries they come from. In this powerful discussion, you will learn how South Asian students encounter issues related to their culture and identity in American Schools.  From the pressures to assimilate to the stereotypes of being model students, this segment will aim to bring light to the true identities, dreams and aspirations of this growing population of students in the United States.

The Center for Global Education in Partnership with The Culture Tree is proud to bring this dialogue to our audience of educators.
