Asian American Studies Program, Cornell University

Asian American Studies Program at Cornell

FourthRF At the time of its founding in 1987, the Asian American Studies Program at Cornell University was the first such program in the Ivy League. Today it has four core faculty members in the humanities and social sciences in a variety of departments and colleges. This cross-college, university-wide position accommodates the extensive teaching and research interests of the Program's faculty and reflects the breadth of the vibrant field of Asian American Studies in general. In the classroom, in scholarship, and through campus and community advocacy, the Program is committed to examining the histories and experiences; identities, social and community formations; politics; and contemporary concerns of people of Asian ancestry in the United States and other parts of the Americas.
