The rise in anti-Asian hate crimes has again underscored the long-standing anxiety and concern regarding racism and xenophobia.

In response to the growing call to action to support anti-racism movement and to foster an inclusive community, this thematic discussion series, titled 'Stand in Solidarity: Combating Anti-Asian Racism and Xenophobia', aims to offer support especially to Columbia University’s Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander community during this challenging time.

The Series will address the rising violence against Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S., examining the ongoing history of race discrimination that has been employed to distract and divide our communities to protect systematic inequality.

In the session on April 16, Professor Qin Gao of Columbia University School of Social Work will present findings in her team's recent survey, which includes quantitative and qualitative evidence, conducted among over 400 Chinese Americans in New York City.

Leading scholars and experts will also join the panel discussion to share insights and explore possible course of actions against anti-Asian crime.
