The AAADS Program is committed to expanding and enriching the intellectual fabric of the entire academy by contributing to: the critical understanding of the rich and complex histories and experiences of Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander ancestry; the framing of this knowledge and understanding within larger intellectual inquiries regarding race and ethnicity in national and global contexts; the development of critical thinking and innovative learning through a socially engaged research and teaching curriculum; the promotion of comparative, multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the historical and contemporary experiences of Asian Americans in local, national, and global contexts; the strengthening of the relationship between the university and the community by fusing academic learning with community engagement.
