Welcome to the ARISE Lab

The ARISE lab at Boston University, Wheelock College of Education and Human Development, is a research collaborative led by Dr. Grace S. Kim. Through our research, we aim to contribute to resilience, resistance to oppression, social agency, and well-being of Asian Americans, specifically, and People of Color, in general. Building on the anti-racist and feminist foundations, we share a commitment toward transformative education and social justice. The following shared values are important to us: pursuing research and education for transformation, building a research community to empower ourselves and others, and working toward solidarity.
