In light of the recent rise of incidents of violence and racism against members of the Asian American community, we have assembled a roundtable of scholars, public intellectuals, and activists around the topic of # Stop Asian Hate. The panelists will address topics ranging from:the intersection of Asian American Rights issues with anti-Blackness and Black Lives Matter, how political and media discourse about China has contributed to violence against Asian-Americans, and “how to respond” from a civil rights advocacy perspective. This Town Hall Discussion aims at providing a safe space for students and other members of the community to express their thoughts, feelings, and reflections on recent acts of violence, while also providing a path forward for civil engagement, advocacy, and community activism.
