A decades-long effort by faculty, student and community groups succeeded in establishing the new minor. By Eric Swedlund, College of Humanities April 28, 2021
The University of Arizona is launching a new minor in Asian Pacific American studies, centered on what has become the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the United States.
The new minor, housed in the Department of East Asian Studies in the College of Humanities, is the result of more than two decades of work and comes at a time of highly visible anti-Asian racism and violence in the United States, related in part to the coronavirus pandemic.
