There’s Never Been a Better Time to Show Your Support

Founded for the purpose of educating about the history, culture, and aspirations of Asian American ethnic minorities, AAAS also sponsors professional activities to facilitate increased communication and scholarly exchange among teachers, researchers, students, community members and any who seek to support Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Asian American Studies seeks to create and communicate knowledge about various Asian American and Pacific Islander people and communities; these combined ethnicities and nations encompass over 50 cultures and societies including but not limited to those of East, South, Southeast, Western Asia and the Pacific Islands. Being an AAAS member allows you to engage with scholars and professionals who study a variety of Asian American and Pacific Islanders from around the globe and especially within a US Asian diaspora.

Published by the Johns Hopkins University Press, the Journal of Asian American Studies (JAAS) is the official publication of the AAAS. It contains original works of scholarly interest, including new theoretical developments, research results, methodological innovations, public policy concerns, pedagogical issues, and book reviews.
