CALA Northeast Chapter invites you for a curatorial tour of "CRAASH in Focus: Revitalizing Asian American Studies" at Cooperman Library, Hunter College!

CRAASH in Focus: Revitalizing Asian American Studies explores the history of student activism surrounding the Asian American Studies Program (AASP) at Hunter College, from its early foundation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the revitalization of it in the 2000s and 2010s by way of CRAASH, or the Coalition for the Revitalization of Asian American Studies at Hunter, and CRAASH’s ongoing influence and impact today. Drawing heavily from archival materials held by the Hunter College Libraries, this exhibition demonstrates how students have advocated for the AASP through concerted news and social media campaigns, petitions, protests, and events, as well as their solidarity efforts with other student organizations. Curated by Mee-Len Hom, Allison Ransom, and Lily Susman.

Following the exhibition, we will visit Hunter College's Archives & Special Collections.
