Historically, education has been plagued with social and political challenges, particularly when it comes to students from marginalized communities and backgrounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One racial group that often gets overlooked when it comes to education issues is Asian Americans, said Dr. Wayne Au, dean and professor for the University of Washington Bothell\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Educational Studies<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his latest book, \u201cAsian American Racialization and the Politics of U.S. Education,\u201d Au explores the landscape of what it means to be Asian American within the racial politics of U.S. education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis book really came out of a need that I saw for a better understanding around how we view Asian Americans and also how we understand Asian Americans in relation to other racial groups.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Having a lasting impact<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 son of an early childhood educator and a college professor, Au knew in high school that he wanted to be a teacher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI knew I wanted to do work that was helping folks and building relationships, and I\u2019ve always approached teaching that way,\u201d Au said. \u201cI also grew up in a very political family, so I was interested in activism and politics and social justice from a pretty young age. And so education was a natural fit.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First as a K-12 teacher and later as a college professor, he has also always had an interest in serving historically marginalized students and communities. At UW Bothell, Au has continued this work as a professor and a dean, and previously in his roles as dean of diversity and equity and as chief diversity officer for the campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s where the love of the work has always been,\u201d Au said. \u201cAnd one of the reasons why I like being at UW Bothell, too, is that we have so many first-generation students and immigrant students and financial aid eligible students. It\u2019s a really nice population of students to be with where I can have an impact reaching students who have previously been neglected and left behind by our systems.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside the classroom, Au also aims to make an impact through his research in areas such as teaching for social justice, critical pedagogy, anti-racist education and Asian American education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cOne of the reasons why I like being at UW Bothell, too, is that we have so many first-generation students and immigrant students and financial aid eligible students.

Au captures this in the opening lines of his book\u2019s introduction:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis book was born out of a particular kind of pain. As Asian Americans moving through 2020, we watched members of our community \u2014 our elders and children, our siblings and cousins, our aunties and uncles \u2014 be brutalized by verbal and physical attacks across the United States. We were targeted by media hysteria and the white supremacist dog-whistle politics of then-President Trump.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He notes that while initial numbers were hard to confirm, the nonprofit organization Stop AAPI Hate later reported more than 6,600 verbal and physical assaults on Asian Americans in the first year of the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Challenging stereotypes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the pandemic unfolded, Au recalled, \u201cI started to realize that even folks who were sympathetic and in support of Asian American communities didn\u2019t really understand Asian American racialization in politics.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He hopes to help change that through his new book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first section, Au provides a history and context for what Asian American racialization looks like in America today. One of the common challenges to understanding this racialization, he noted, is that many stereotypes and assumptions about Asian Americans are considered positive \u2014 and the harm caused by them may not be as apparent as stereotypes about other racialized groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stereotypes around Asian Americans often stem from the \u201cmodel minority\u201d myth, which originated&nbsp;during the late 1960s amid the Black and brown power movements, the anti-war movement and the Civil Rights Movement.&nbsp;Asian Americans were lauded as successful, hardworking and able to overcome racial barriers, and this was used against other racial groups and to deny the existence of racism. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 model minority stereotype actually has really strong, negative impacts on Asian American mental health to the degree that suicide is the highest cause of death for college-age Asian Americans in the U.S.,\u201d Au said. \u201cIn my book, I make a very strong call that we need to reject the model minority stereotype entirely.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 alternative, Au added, lies in recognizing that Asian Americans are not an exception to racialization and that they, too, have been victim to historic and systemic racism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating awareness and change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Covid-19 pandemic sparked a rise in violence and harassment toward Asian Americans, Au noted it also brought about a greater awareness of racial and political issues they face. He is one of many researchers and educators who have felt called to action by the events of the past few years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Au said he wants his book to help all educators create more safe and equitable learning environments, but also said that any reader can benefit from learning more about what it means to be Asian American and how the education system has fallen short in serving them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy biggest hope is that folks, after reading this book, can come away with a much more complex understanding of Asian Americans and education \u2014 particularly in the U.S. and its historical context \u2014 than they had before going into it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his latest book, Dr. Wayne Au reviews the landscape of what it means to be Asian American \u2014 and how racialization and political issues in U.S. education persist.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121,"featured_media":31417,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_is_archived":false,"_archived_contact_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[202,229,1],"tags":[],"school":[418],"class_list":["post-31416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-news","category-faculty","category-uncategorized","school-school-of-educational-studies"],"acf":{"related_links":{"toggle_visibility":false,"link_1":"","link_2":"","link_3":"","link_4":"","link_5":""},"highlight_box":{"toggle_visibility":false,"title":"","content":"","button":"","button_style":"angled-purple-button","button_screen_reader_text":""},"contact_type_1":{"toggle_visibility":true,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"contact_type_2":{"toggle_visibility":false,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"social_media":{"toggle_visibility":false,"facebook_url":"","instagram_url":"","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","youtube_url":""},"blog_archive_sidebar_visibility":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
