Convening of Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Educators

24-25 June 2021, Online

SUMMARY: Educational practitioners, scholars, leaders, and activists who identify as Asian American or Pacific Islander face unique challenges but also can intervene uniquely. This two-day online convening builds on the Pledge to Support AAPIs and Advance Justice, signed by over 2200 educators in April, as well as on the brief online gathering of almost 200 AAPI educators held in May. Facilitated by Dr. Kevin Kumashiro, this June convening engages participants in a mix of presentations, discussions, and activities that aim to build connections and capacity for movement building toward justice. This convening is intended only for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who work in education, and we ask our allies to respect this closed space.

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE: Please note that the start/end time each day is 11:00am-1:30pm Pacific (which is 8:00-10:30am Hawai'i, or 2:00-4:30pm Eastern).
