The Asian American Studies (AAS) program supports the academic endeavors of graduate students through our Asian American/diaspora graduate student group. The cohort convenes regularly to discuss their research, share ideas, and build a network of support for Asian American/diaspora scholars. The group looks to center the interdisciplinary field of Asian American Studies by reading scholarship from within the field and building a community within a larger university. Our graduate students come from various departments such as English, American Studies, History, and more.
