Description

Asian Americans are the fastest growing demographic in the country, yet historically, they've been near-invisible in our popular culture. But that's beginning to change. We examine the long history of Asian American Studies, and why it's finally having its moment in the South.

Featuring:

• Nayoung Aimee Kwon, professor at Duke University
• Esther Kim Lee, professor and director of Duke's Asian American and Diaspora Studies program
• Iris Kim, founder of the Vanderbilt University Asian American Studies Initiative
• David Lee, student activist at Duke University
