Campus communicators, Many of us have long been concerned about the racialized experiences of Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) faculty, staff, and students on campus. The recent murders in Atlanta highlight the especially vulnerable position of AAPI women. Here at UT, AAPI faculty are told they "don't count," are "overrepresented," and "don't have any problems" while receiving systematically lower teaching evaluations and failing to see promotions to administrative leadership at the same rate as many other groups. AAPI women navigate these issues along with misogynistic experiences. As a first step in helping to increase understanding of AAPI women faculty's experiences with racism, we invite you and your representatives to attend a panel discussion April 14, 1-2:30 pm (dial in at tiny.utk.edu/AAPIFaculty<https://tiny.utk.edu/AAPIFaculty>). In this panel, "Making Visible the Racialized Experiences of UT's AAPI Women Faculty" women who are tenured AAPI faculty and staff will share their experiences of racism, microaggressions, and bias on UT's campus. The event is open to all. Please join us on April 14 and help spread the word. Please Feel free to use the attached graphic and flyer to promote the event.
