A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group Meeting & Social

Presented by the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group. Hosted by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU.
This year, the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group‘s monthly workshops and annual symposium (to be hosted March 5-6, 2026) will be organized around the theme of “Grounds of Displacement,” alongside the A/P/A Institute’s continued theme of “Asian/Pacific/American Prospects.”
To that end, on Friday, September 12 from 1:00-2:30 p.m., the group will be discussing the following readings to consider how the “Grounds of Displacement” can be applicable to various fields and topics and can be uniquely uniting amongst all of our projects during this political moment.
