DESCRIPTION:Statement Against Anti-Asian Racism\n\nWe in the Department of 
 East Asian Studies stand together with students and community members who 
 are deeply impacted by the escalating violence against Asians\, Asian-Amer
 icans\, Asian-Canadians\, and grieve the losses of the eight victims murde
 red in Atlanta\, six of whom were Asian/Asian-American women. We voice our
  solidarity and condemn anti-Asian racism\, misogyny\, xenophobia\, ageism
 \, white supremacy\, Islamophobia\, and hate crimes based on ethnicity\, c
 itizenship\, age\, gender\, and sexuality. We condemn the denial of system
 ic racism that affects all people of Asian descent and other racialized an
 d visible minority groups in Canada.\n\nAs scholars of Asia and the Asian 
 diaspora\, we are committed to teaching and learning the histories\, geopo
 litics\, and legacies of imperialism\, settler colonialism\, indentured la
 bor\, exclusionary immigration acts\, wartime internment\, and the gendere
 d labor exploitation that have shaped the current climate of anti-Asian ra
 cism in North America. Beyond this horrific tragedy that manifested in the
  killing of these victims are the lived experiences of those who have conf
 ronted systemic discrimination\, and macro- and micro-aggressions in the p
 ast and who continue to confront them in the present. We express our univo
 cal support for the work that is needed to create a safe and inclusive env
 ironment inside and outside the campus\, and to collectively move towards 
 a more just future.\n\nThe Department will be holding a town hall shortly 
 to share thoughts and experiences\, and foster alliances between concerned
  students and faculty members.\n\nEAS Organized Townhall Topic: Against An
