“DestinAsian Chicago: Learning on the Road” will provide IU students an opportunity to explore the very concept of “Asian America” and will examine the local and global forces that shape the heterogeneous lives of Asian Americans today. We will explore the topics of Asian American history, immigration, activism, and the arts through meetings, lectures, and cultural tours.
Participants will learn first-hand aspects of Asian immigration history in Chicago and the Midwest. We also hope to establish relationships with AAPI leaders involved with nonprofits, academics, government, and the arts. Highlights of the trip will include an AAPI neighborhood, cultural and culinary tour, a panel with students and administrators from the University of Illinois at Chicago, a panel and tour with the Japanese American Historical Society, and a meeting with Asian Americans Advancing for Justice.
This event is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President, Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, IU Asian Culture Center, the Asian American Studies Program, CommUNITY Education Program (RPS), Academic Programs Committee (RPS), and the Residence Hall Association.
