Stanford Asian American Studies Endowment Initiative

OUR VISION

 

To build the world’s leading program in Asian American Studies through interdisciplinary research, teaching, and scholarship on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), with the goal of developing culturally-agile global leaders and thriving multicultural communities for the 21st century.

​

Why an Asian American Research Center (AARC - official name TBD)? 

• To advance scholarship devoted to understanding the historical, cultural, social, political, medical, legal and policy dimensions of Asian Americans and

• To do so in an interdisciplinary way - in collaboration with the Medical School, Law School, Graduate School of Business, the Graduate School of Education and the Cantor Center for Visual Arts.

​

How will we launch AARC?
By establishing an endowment to more fully develop the existing Asian American Studies program at Stanford.

​

What's the endowment goal?
Our endowment goal is $30 million. Here's what it will fund.
