The recent upsurge in anti-Asian violence and bigotry throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has attracted renewed attention on a long-standing problem. The event series Asia America and the World invites the Northeastern community to interact with a diverse slate of scholars who are addressing critical issues confronting Asian American communities from a global or transnational perspective.

Presented by the Asian Studies Program, the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, and the Office of the Provost, and co-sponsored by the Humanities Center, this event series is open to the entire community across the Northeastern Global Network.
