* Where and how do Asian Americans place themselves today–in the neighborhood, in politics, and around social activism?<\/p>\n

* How can Asian American better utilize the \u201cpower of place\u201d in their own communities and in local, state, and national politics toward economic and social justice for all?<\/p>\n

* In today\u2019s climate of xenophobia and anti-immigrant bashing, what expanded role can colleges and community organizations, working together with media, play to educate civil society?<\/p>\n

The 2012 AAARI annual conference brings together urban sociologists, student activists, and community professionals in one place to discuss current issues that impact and affect Asian Americans. These issues include: The Future of Ethnic Neighborhoods from New York to Los Angeles; Comparative Approaches to Look at Gentrification in Boston, Philadelphia and New York; Putting Asian Americans on the Map and Redistricting; Student Activism, Occupy Wall Street and the Danny Chen case; Standing Up for the Dream Act and Immigration; and more!<\/p>\n
