Based in New  York City and planned by college students, NYCAASC offers a broad range of  engaging workshops and panels that address issues pertinent to Asian Pacific  Americans on local, national, and global scales.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The theme for the 5th  annual NYCAASC is \u201ceMerging Profiles.\u201d Keeping in mind how new media has been a  catalyst to many vast social and political movements today, we play on the  wording \u201ceMerging\u201d to convey the dynamic processes of merging and emerging and  opt to highlight tangible \u201cprofiles\u201d rather than the often hard-to-grasp concept  of \u201cidentities.\u201d In these fast-paced times, blogs, YouTube and other forms of  new media have been helpful in reaching across physical boundaries, increasing  the accessibility of resources, and connecting with those that seek commonality  and recognition. Moreover, we want to emphasize that this theme surrounding  &#8220;new\/alternative media&#8221; also recognizes that throughout history, when  traditional media and spaces were exclusionary, Asian Pacific Americans have  consistently showed creativity in forging new media through which to think for  themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>REGISTER NOW @ <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nycaasc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.nycaasc.com\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 16 \u00b7 9:30am &#8211; 8:00pm NYU Kimmel Center 60 Washington Square South, New York, NY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[5208,2959],"class_list":["post-11314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events","tag-annual-new-york-city-asian-american-student-conference","tag-nycaasc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11314"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11316,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11314\/revisions\/11316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
