Our Future
APA Studies as a field continues to respond to social, cultural and political changes, both globally and domestically. APIDA/A is also not a static term – identity formation is a continuous process, and so too is the work of building solidarity and community amid the continued realities of migration, global economic change, and shifting social and political landscapes. Our recent programing demonstrates some of the ways in which the field of Asian Pacific American Studies more generally, and the APIDA/A campus community more specifically, has changed in the last two decades. Some struggles have remained the same. And yet, the work of meaningfully casting a broad net over what counts as APA Studies, as well as who makes up the APIDA/A community, continues in our commitment to build new and advance existing and enduring partnerships across campus.
