Original Call for Proposals on Research into Asian Pacific American Politics:

The Committee on the Status of Asian Pacific Americans for the Western Political Science Association issues a call for proposals for our scheduled 2017 mini-conference. The  mini-conference is structured as a conference within the annual WPSA meeting and will be held over two days on Friday and Saturday, April 14 – 15, 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia. We invite all proposals that affect the lived experiences of Asian Pacific Americans, both for scholarship that fits within traditional conceptualizations of race, ethnicity and immigrant politics as well as scholarship that focuses on contemporary problems. Research might consider whether and how the forever foreigner stereotype intersects with modern police controversies; how Asian American (and intersectional) identities empower or produce disadvantages for Asian American social and political incorporation over time; and obviously, what role Asian Americans play in the 2016 elections. We welcome all proposals!
 
Please contact Dr. Loan Le ([email protected]), Chair of the Committee on the Status of Asian Pacific Americans, if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
