The AANAPISI Bridge Initiative (ABI) at BMCC and Hunter College is hosting an intermediate-level, hybrid seminar series this June 2024 focused on Asian American students’ sense of purpose and belonging, and racial/cultural experiences throughout college. Here we will be centering Asian American ethnic and immigrant experiences, Asian American mental health and wellness, pedagogical interventions for centering purpose and classroom engagement as informed by Asian American Studies, and other inclusive teaching practices. Participants will learn, discuss, reflect and apply workshop themes to teaching enhancements for their future courses.
Open to all BMCC and Hunter adjunct/part-time and full-time instructors (from all disciplines) with interest exploring themes of Asian American student experiences and racial justice in the classroom.
