Around the World: Asian American Racial Justice Toolkit, the Ongoing Fight for Asian American Studies, and More

Tuesday, May 18, 2021

Asia Society at Home

Learn More

Each week, we'll share a variety of videos, articles, webcasts, resources, and more from around the web — all curated by the Asia Society Texas Center staff to reflect the broad interests and goals of our mission. In this digest, learn about resources and partner organizations to help supplement learning for students, families, educators, and adults.

AAPI Amplified

Join Houston First Corporation at Discovery Green on May 22 to celebrate and support Houston's vibrant AAPI communities with an evening of traditional and contemporary musical and dance performances, an Asian-inspired fashion show, and an outdoor market featuring local AAPI-owned businesses, artisans, and chefs. The event is free and open to the public, and will close with a one-of-a-kind fashion show featuring Houston-based lines Danny Nguyen Couture, Kimono Zulu, Mysterious by NPN, and Poshak Fashion & Style.

T.E.A. Talk: The Ongoing Fight for Asian American Studies

The recent surge in violent attacks and harassment against Asians and Asian Americans has renewed a demand for Asian American studies as a standard U.S. curriculum offering (TIME, the Associated Press). Join OCA Greater Houston for a talk on the history of Asian American studies and the current movement at the high school level to include diverse narratives in curriculum.

The virtual talk takes place Friday, May 28, 6–7:30 p.m. CT. Registration is required.

Asian American Racial Justice Toolkit

Asian American Racial Justice Toolkit

This toolkit represents the work and thinking of 15 grassroots organizations with Asian American bases living in the most precarious margins of power: low-income tenants, youth, undocumented immigrants, low-wage workers, refugees, women and girls, and queer and trans people. It reflects their experiences with criminalization, deportation, homophobia, xenophobia and Islamo-racism, war, gender violence, poverty, and worker exploitation.
