Description

This panel will discuss the accounts of three Asian women faculty members teaching in the age of COVID-19 and the concomitant escalation of anti-Asian prejudice. Each panelist will explain how their racial identity categories—Asian and female—inform their pedagogical methodologies, their research, and their relationships with their students. The panel will address the urgency of decentering whiteness in the college classroom, and to hold space for the Asian experience in America, particularly in a time fraught with anti-Asian sentiment in the national rhetoric.
