Asia and Asian communities have a long history in the Netherlands yet remain largely invisible in media and society. The MA Asian studies, in collaboration with D&I Expertise Office and the Pan Asian Collective, is organizing a brainstorm session for students of Leiden University, to reflect on the role and importance of advancing a better understanding of the history and identity of Asian communities in the Netherlands. What does it mean to be Asian within the academic community? How are Asian experiences reflected in the curriculum? What is the role and importance of networks of Asian peers in approaching the labor market? This brainstorm session will be led by Hui Hui Pan of the Pan Asian collective. Our aim is to provide a forum to build a network of Asian and Asian heritage students and formulate specific goals and activities to support the community, its visibility and research on Asia and Asians in the Netherlands.
Please sign up and share your thoughts and questions in preparation for the session.
