"Global Perspectives on Anti-Asian Racism: Overcoming The Hate” Webinar Series |
While anti-Asian racism has already existed globally, the reemergence of geopolitical tensions, inequities, and even violence are now in sharp focus because of the Covid-19 crisis and has revealed the rising and rampant hate.
This is a critical time for understanding and serious dialogue. Bringing together university students, experts, and leaders, APRU universities are creating a space to share knowledge and experience to have difficult conversations across the Asia-Pacific region. This dialogue is designed to open the door for more understanding of racially targeted hate and the ways that these ideas circulate and influence our daily lives.

Date: Thursday, October 28
Time: 18:00 - 19:30 PDT
Part II: Global Perspectives
Date: Wednesday, November 17
