Save the date(s)! Our Asian American Psychological Association 2026 Convention will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 2-3. Registration will be open soon!

This year’s theme: Envisioning radical futures requires critical reflection and courageous imagination. It calls us to reimagine psychological science, mental health care, education, and community systems in ways that center cultural wisdom, lived experience, and collective well-being.

Radical futures are not distant ideals; they are built through the practices, knowledge, and resilience already present within our communities.

This year’s theme encourages scholars, clinicians, activists, and community leaders to share work that pushes boundaries, challenges dominant narratives, and opens pathways toward more just and equitable futures. Interdisciplinary collaboration, culturally grounded approaches, and community-engaged scholarship are especially welcome as we collectively engage in imagining what becomes possible when healing, justice, and belonging are fully realized.

May is Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and Memorial Day offers a moment to reflect on memory, legacy, and service in different forms. Today is about honoring stories, some widely known, some too often overlooked, all deeply American. 🇺🇸🌺

Pictured are Asian American WWII veterans and AAPI service members who were later honored through the Congressional Gold Medal recognition, a testament to courage, sacrifice, and histories that deserve to be remembered.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your legacy of courage that continues to shape our shared history and future. We remember you with deep gratitude and respect.

AAPA has signed the Coalition Letter Opposing the State Department’s Declaration to Revoke Visas of Chinese Students.

Repost from
« A coalition of over 60 organizations, led by , Asian American Scholar Forum (AASF), & , has issued a joint letter urging U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to halt the implementation of the May 28 visa policy targeting Chinese international students.

The policy to « aggressively revoke » visas, including in undefined « critical fields, » hurts the safety and well-being of students, undermines our American values, and jeopardizes the nation’s academic, technological, and economic leadership.

We remain committed to ensuring that the United States remains a welcoming environment for Asian Americans and all communities. »
