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.
