2024 Association for Asian American Studies Annual Conference

We are pleased to announce Asian American Studies in the 2020s: Disciplinary, Ethnic, Diasporic Identities as the theme for our 2024 conference. Since its inception, Asian American Studies has been particularly sensitive to histories of inclusion, marginalization, exclusion, and elision—in political life, narratives, and canons. In our (post) 9/11 and COVID moment of heightened political and social turmoil, marked by a sharp rise in anti-Asian American violence in the US, how might we reevaluate and remap what disciplines, ethnoracial groups, and diasporic processes have defined Asian American Studies and, by extension, decentered others?
