Association for Asian American Studies

The Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) is an academic organization focused on promoting scholarship and education related to Asian American experiences and studies. Founded in the 1970s, it brings together researchers, educators, and students to explore topics such as history, culture, and social issues affecting Asian American communities. The AAAS organizes conferences, publishes research, and supports teachers and scholars in their work, fostering a better understanding of Asian American identities and contributions to society. Its aim is to amplify voices and perspectives that have historically been underrepresented in academia and beyond.
