Penn's Asian American Studies Program (ASAM) is excited to announce the upcoming ASAM Fellows Spring 2024 Symposium: Existence as Resistance on Saturday, March 30th, from 10 am to 4 pm EST in ARCH 108.

Join them for a day of insightful exploration as we delve into the theme "Existence as Resistance," to illuminate the power and agency of Asian American communities amidst struggles tied to histories, land, politics, health, and culture. The symposium will showcase how the act of existing becomes a form of resistance, reaffirming strength, and resilience in shaping narratives and futures. Breakfast and lunch from local Philadelphia establishments will be provided.
