Stewart Kwoh will introduce the Asian American Education Project, formed in 2021, and widely regarded as having the most comprehensive K-12 Asian American history curricula. Offering K-12 APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American) online learning resources, the Project facilitates professional development courses as well as free training workshops for educators to bring the history, contributions, challenges and triumphs of Asian Americans to classrooms across the country.
Stewart will be joined by Sophia Bae, Raghav Joshi and Lynn Lin from the New York chapter of Make Us Visible (MUV), formed in 2021 in search of long-term solutions to anti-Asian American violence through building curriculum and advocating for the integration of Asian American and Pacific Islander history in K-12 classrooms. With eight active chapters and affiliates across the country, MUV’s community campaign efforts led to the passage of Connecticut’s K-8 Model Curriculum, and most recently New Jersey becoming the second state in the U.S. to include Asian American history in K-12 lesson plans.
