How do we understand the political engagement, activism, and resistance of Asian Americans across various levels of social organization and government? This interdisciplinary panel highlights research on topics ranging from youth advocating for housing justice, to student-led divestment movements, to elected representation in Massachusetts, to other important sites of inquiry. We explore politics through the frameworks of racial capitalism, interpersonal relationships, and identity formation among others. Central to this panel is the examination of Asian Americans' roles in political spaces, from intimate settings to international arenas. Notably, this intergenerational panel features undergraduate researchers, graduate students, professional academic researchers, and junior and senior faculty.
