Asian American Research Studies Collective

The Asian American Studies Research Collective (AASRC) is an interdisciplinary research group of graduate students with a wide variety of research interests and a common commitment in elevating Asian American Studies research and discussion at the University of Washington.

In 2012-2013, our main focus is on Shifting Asian American Identity by hosting reading groups, writing groups, and micro-seminars with UW faculty and visiting scholars whose research interests expand the discipline of Asian American Studies. Our goal is to distinguish how post-colonial theories and biopower correlate with performance theory in order to enhance our understanding of Asian American identity in present times.
