LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 26, 2021) From “kung flu” to the “China virus,” the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a rise in anti-Asian hate, culminating in the mass shooting at Atlanta-area spas. How is this surge in xenophobia affecting international students, 70% of whom are from Asia?
The University of Kentucky Office of China Initiatives (OCI) and Latitude(s) is hosting a much-needed conversation on anti-Asian hate and international students at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 28. This panel discussion will be moderated by Karin Fischer, longtime higher-education journalist with a focus on international education and correspondent with The Chronicle of Higher Education. The panel will explore the experience of international students in this rising wave of anti-Asian rhetoric. It will also discuss how institutions can work to combat this racism and support their international students in this difficult time.
