CAAM presents: Interviews from the Association for Asian American Studies Conference.

CAAM was recently at the 2011 Association for Asian American Studies Conference in New Orleans and interviewed several attendees. We asked scholars and educators their thoughts on the future of Asian American media.

As part of its mission, CAAM presents stories of the Asian American experience to the broadest audience possible. Yet, in today’s web 2.0 landscape, people’s relationship to media – its production and consumption – is transforming.

With these interviews, we hope to explore those new relationships and develop better programming for the community. Please take a look and let us know your thoughts.
