How does the vision of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies unite our scholarship—across disparate subjects, methods, regions, and interrogations? This symposium aims to give UC Berkeley graduate students the opportunity to share and present their latest work, receive feedback from guest discussants, and further the scholarly conversation around key issues in Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies.

Discussants:
Sunaina Maira is Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Davis. She is the author of Desis in the House: Indian American Youth Culture in New York City and Missing: Youth, Citizenship, and Empire After 9/11.

Richard S. Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of Asian American Studies at UC Davis. He is the author of The Quest for Statehood: Korean Immigrant Nationalism and U.S. Sovereignty, 1905-1945.
