Asian American Scholar Forum: Understanding the “Inconvenient Minority”

 

朋友们， 在大力倡导多元文化的当今美国社会，为什么亚裔在各种讨论中经常被忽略? 这次我们亚裔学者论坛（AASF）请到了两位专家教授从社会学， 历史以及文化等各方面来和大家共同探讨这个问题。 Webinar Topic:  Understanding the “Inconvenient Minority”: The Sociology of Asian Americans Time/Date: Saturday, Oct 9, 2021, 8PM Eastern Time (5pm Pacific Time) Zoom registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_glsq3heIScqQDn0UfxIdrw Website announcement: https://aasforum.org/ Abstract: Despite popular pronouncements about the importance of “diversity” and “multiculturalism” in American society, Asian Americans have been either neglected or poorly understood in many contemporary discussions. Utilizing a perspective that is based on social science rather than fashionable political rhetoric such as the “Model Minority Myth,” this lecture will provide a broad overview of the history, demography, and sociology of Asian Americans. Cultural factors will also be considered because they are important in understanding socioeconomic outcomes, especially for Asian Americans. The investigation of Asian Americans not only yields significant insights into the nature of racial inequality but also promotes a deeper understanding of mainstream American culture and society.
