| Abstract Title: | Anti-Asian Racism: Implications for Research in Education |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | In a recent survey, 45% of Asian American adults reported experiencing incidents ranging from verbal harassment to destruction of property to physical assaults during the COVID pandemic. These findings coincide with other data that has found that there were more than 6,600 anti-Asian racist incidents reported in the past year – a 150% increase from the prior year. While national surveys of Asian Americans can help identify broader indicators about the rise of Anti-Asian racism and discrimination, this presentation will discuss the implications for research in educational settings and the need for particular attention to marginalized and vulnerable Asian American sub-groups, Asian Americans in specific institutional settings (four-year colleges, community colleges, etc.) and research that can more directly inform the work of advocates and policymakers as they work to improve programs and services that can address these unique needs and challenges. |
