“Asian American Native American and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions Empowering Students Civic Engagement toward Social Justice Agendas”
by Rikka Venturanza, Hnou H. Lee, and Marietess M. Masulit
ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic sparked the civic mobilization of various communities of color, including Asian Americans. This chapter discusses the corresponding role of Asian American Native American and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) within this context, serving as critical sites in cultivating Asian American students’ civic engagement toward social justice agendas. Educational research, scholarship, and personal reflections of practitioners are integrated throughout the chapter to discuss how AANAPISIs at Sacramento State and Coastline College fulfill this call by providing culturally relevant and community responsive programs and practices influenced by an ethnic studies framework.
