Our Affiliates

A/P/A Institute affiliated faculty lead, support, and collaborate on our programs and initiatives. They work in a range of disciplines across New York University.

Each year, New York University hosts an acclaimed artist to hold residency with its Asian/Pacific/American Institute. Artists-in-Residence are invited to bring their notoriety, artistic work, and history of involvement with the Asian/Pacific/American community to NYU. The Artist-in-Residence uses their time at A/P/A to create important new work, artistic retrospectives, forums, or conferences. Scholars, fellow artists, and community members familiar or new to the artist’s work gain a unique opportunity to engage with the Artist-in-Residence within a university setting.

The A/P/A Institute at NYU Visiting Scholar & Visiting Academic Programs extend specified courtesy titles and privileges to scholars of distinction who visit the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University in order to engage in research and scholarship, as well as general scholarly and cultural interaction with New York University’s faculty and students.

The Asian/Pacific/American Studies Assistant Professor & Visiting Scholar Working Group supports NYU junior faculty and post-doctoral scholars working in the field of A/P/A Studies. The group meets monthly at the A/P/A Institute at NYU for co-writing sessions, book chapter and article workshops, and professional development conversations.

The A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group is an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary working group for graduate students from local universities interested in and/or working on Asian/Pacific/American studies broadly defined. If you are a graduate student interested in joining the group, please submit your name, degree program, and university via the link below.
