This conference will discuss the intersection of varying identities that construct the current landscape of activism in Asian America rethinking the ways that activism is expressed, understood, and for whom it is meaningful.  Our keynote speaker and panelists will address the historical definitions and current issues of activism in light of the LGBTQ and underrepresented immigrant communities at the local and national levels. We invite students, scholars, and activists across the API spectrum to come together and examine the changing avenues, opportunities, and challenges for initiating political and social change in the future of Asian America.
