ABOUT THE ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM

The Asian American Studies Program (AASP) at Hunter College of the City University of New York provides students with a multidisciplinary education in Asian diasporas with a focus on the United States and New York City. Our faculty and students are particularly interested in Asian American community organizing; urban affairs and Asian American immigrant communities in NYC; Asian American performance; Asian American labor and gender; Asian American sociolinguistics; and Asian American poetics and memoir.

The program offers a range of courses to the entire Hunter community, a minor in Asian American Studies, and extra-curricular programs and events. The program contributes to the growing scholarship in the vital field of Asian American Studies and serves as a resource for New York City’s Asian American communities and community-based organizations.
