About the Workshop:
The "Understanding and Empowering the Asian Scholars Diaspora" workshop draws inspiration from the "Voices of Asian Diaspora" monthly meetings we initiated in May 2023 under the Management, Spirituality, and Religion (MSR) Division at AOM. Since its inception, this platform has become vital for Asian diaspora scholars to voice their concerns, share experiences, and build a support network.
This workshop is designed to extend these discussions, addressing the challenges Asian scholars face in academia, such as racial profiling, microaggressions, identity issues, mental health, and academic publishing. Through panel discussions led by experienced academicians, the workshop will provide strategies to navigate these challenges, fostering a supportive environment and offering actionable solutions.
Workshop Topics Include:
-
Coping with racial profiling and microaggressions
-
Faculty identity in minority contexts
-
Mental health concerns specific to Asian scholars
-
Challenges faced by Asian graduate students
-
Effective ways to ally with Asian colleagues
-
Grant writing, networking, and strategies to increase academic paper citations
Your participation is essential to our collective success, and we ardently encourage your engagement in this enriching dialogue. Together, we can empower each other to thrive in diverse academic environments and make meaningful contributions to our fields.
