The Department of Asian Studies stands united with our students, university colleagues, and community members against racism and police brutality. We reject systemic bias and violence against people of color. At this moment in particular—amidst anti-Asian discrimination in the age of COVID-19 and as protests erupt around the U.S. against the dehumanization of black lives by the police and others—we recommit ourselves to social justice and global education. This is why we in Asian Studies teach, research, and build programs about Asia and the Middle East.
