Conference

“Do You Want an A? Asian American Stereotypes”

Authors: Cullen Buford (Iowa State University) , Richard Coron (Iowa State University) , Braxton Perry (Iowa State University) , Adrian Montero (Iowa State University)

Abstract

In this eventful session we will take a look at some of the stereotypes that hurt the Asian-American community. We will be taking a closer look to see how some stereotypes; although seemingly positive, can create unreal expectations as to what every Asian-American student should resemble. We will be showing interviews with current Asian-American students at Iowa State who shared their experiences. Finally, we will have an interactive activity to test your own personal bias and misconceptions towards Asian-American students.
