Asian Relations is a series of conversations recorded in the Fall 2023 semester at the Center for Asian American Studies (CAAS) and the Asian American Resource Center (AARC) in Austin, TX. Led by CCI researcher Dr. Allison Kim (she/her), these conversations follow the stories of nine UT students, faculty, staff, and alumni concerning their identification with and connection to the AANHPI communities. This research-based project is conversational in tone, leaning into subjective experience and drawing out the relational moments between individuals.
