Global Asias Symposium & Celebration
Monday, May 4
11am-6:30pm

This daylong event will showcase and celebrate the work of the Global Asias Initiative, a three-year initiative funded by the Mellon Foundation that has created a forum for engaging in conversations in the fields of Asian American Studies, Asian diaspora studies, and Asian Studies. The Initiative has has created connections across disciplines, institutions, organizations, and communities here on campus and beyond.

With our grant from Mellon Foundation coming to a close this year, we are showcasing the many achievements of the initiative. The day will feature a luncheon on heritage, belonging and identity in collaboration with Student Affairs, a visiting scholar keynote address on public humanities and Global Asias, and a student exhibition and reception in the library gallery & rotunda featuring community partners and programming.

Thank you to our partners the Asian Studies Program, Mosaic: The Center for Cultural Diversity, Residential Life, McNairs Scholars Program, and the Baltimore chapter of National Association of Asian American Professionals for support organizing this celebration. 

Stay tuned for more information coming your way!
