For October, Filipino American History Month, the Asian American / Asian Research Institute is excited to uplift the voices of student researchers and activists with presentations from Gabriela Sagan and members of the Filipino Curriculum Project on Filipino activism for women and school curriculum in Hawai’i.
The Localized History Project is a New York State funded youth participatory action research project investigating the extent to which AANHPI history is taught in K-12 history classrooms in NY State, and presenting youth driven curriculum alternatives to test driven curricula.
Join us for a screening and discussion of the short documentary Dear Corky, with director Curtis Chin. For over fifty years, New York native Corky Lee photographed his hometown’s Chinatown, and Asian American communities around the country.
Stewart Kwoh will introduce the Asian American Education Project, formed in 2021, and widely regarded as having the most comprehensive K-12 Asian American history curricula. Stewart will be joined by Sophia Bae, Raghav Joshi and Lynn Lin from the New York chapter of Make Us Visible (MUV), formed in 2021 in search of long-term solutions to anti-Asian American violence through building curriculum and advocating for the integration of Asian American and Pacific Islander history in K-12 classrooms.
