Asian American Studies Conference

 

We organized the panel Documenting the Undocumented: Building Partnerships Between Media and Activists to Combat Southeast Asian Deportation at the annual conference of the Association for Asian American Studies.

We explored how leveraging and creating collaborative networks between community advocates and media makers can strengthen resistance and raise awareness of successful opposition to unjust deportations, to policing and surveillance of black and brown communities, responses to racist public policy, and disengagement with narratives of divide and conquer.

 

Featured panelists included: Nancy Vue-Tran, Freedom, Inc; Lan Nguyen, activist filmmaker; and Teo Saragi, Southeast Asians RISE.
