*Online* Mentoring Workshop
for Asian American Scholar-Educator-Activists

29-30 May 2020
(via video conference)

SUMMARY: What does it mean for us, as Asian Americans who are committed to anti-oppressive activism, to flourish in the field of education? This 2-day workshop is geared for Asian Americans in all career stages and in various educational settings, with particular focus on (but not limited to) graduate students and new faculty, staff, and administrators in schools of education. Participants will learn conceptual frameworks and apply them to their own work and lives on such topics as: navigating the academy; frameworks for anti-oppressive education; the politics of race, intersectionality, and colonialism in education; publishing and teaching; caring for self and community; and movement building. Please note that this workshop is intended for Asian Americans, and we ask our allies to respect this closed space.
