Welcome to The Ohio State University’s Asian American Studies (AAS) website. Here you will find important information about:

• AAS minor requirements
• courses in AAS that are being offered during the 2008-2009 academic year
• students and faculty who are involved in AAS
• and upcoming cultural events

Congrats to recent graduates!

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Asian American Studies minor at Ohio State. Before describing what’s in store for this milestone year, we would like to recognize those students who graduated last year with an Asian American Studies minor:

• Anjali Chavan (majors in Political Science and Criminology, minors in French and Asian American Studies)
• Arooj Sheikh (majors in Political Science, History, and Asian American Studies)

Interestingly, both students have gone on to law school. Congratulations and best of luck, graduates!

Research Workshop Series

Building on the success of last year, the Asian American Studies program continues its Research Workshop Series, headed by Professor Judy Wu. The series offers a forum for graduate students and faculty to share and gain feedback on their works-in-progress. Keep an eye on the Calendar for information about these and other cultural events.

CIC Consortium in Asian American Studies

The AAS program at OSU is an institutional member of the CIC consortium of Asian American Studies programs. The CIC consists of the Big-10 plus the University of Chicago. The consortium, coordinated by Professor Josephine Lee at the University of Minnesota, promotes collaboration among the existing Asian American Studies programs and also brings visibility to the research and teaching at Midwestern institutions. The goals of the consortium are to:

• encourage cooperation and collaboration in Asian American Studies, and provide resources and leadership in this interdisciplinary field for all of the CIC campuses;
• help recruit, mentor, and retain the best faculty and graduate students in this and related areas;
• facilitate shared library and curriculum development;
• and redefine the field of Asian American Studies with respect to new and distinctive Asian American migrant and immigrant communities, histories, and cultures, particularly in the Midwest.
