Exploring Relationships and Community-Building Between Black and Asian Students at a Predominantly White Institution

Friday, October 25, 2024
4:45 PM – 5:15 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 5B
This study explores racial dynamics among Black and Asian undergraduate students in the US, emphasizing identity perceptions and campus experiences. Findings reveal negative early encounters with race and a general lack of cultural knowledge. Students expressed strong interest in opportunities to foster solidarity, understanding, and historical awareness through meaningful dialogue.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Upon completion, the participant will be able to demonstrate knowledge of historical and current dynamics between Black and Asian communities in the United States, exploring both tensions and opportunities for cross-cultural solidarity and community-building.
  2. Upon completion, the participant will be able to analyze the experiences and perceptions of Black and Asian undergraduate students at predominantly white institutions (PWIs) in the U.S., considering the impact of racial identity, cultural influences, and educational environments.
  3. Upon completion, the participant will be able to describe potential strategies and interventions to foster inclusivity, understanding, and solidarity between Black and Asian students on U.S. college campuses, including campus-based programs and curriculum design within social work education.
