United under the theme “Awareness To Action,” the Asian Educators Alliance invites you to the 4th annual AsEA National Conference.

• Jeff Adachi – public defender for the city of San Francisco
• Michael Omi – professor at UC Berkeley’s Ethnic Studies Department whose work includes race theory, Asian American studies, and antiracist scholarship.
• Anisha Desai – executive director of the Women of Color Resource Center

Founded in 2004, the Asian Educators Alliance (AsEA) is an affinity organization that provides support and outreach for self-identified Asian and Asian Pacific Islander (API) educators.
The Asian Educators Alliance 2008 National Conference is by and for API educators. We welcome all self-identified API colleagues in independent, charter, and public schools and current API graduate students or professionals in the field of education. While we appreciate and honor the support of our non-API allies, we ask that they respect our intentions for this space. As an alternative method of support, we encourage our allies to help in publicizing this event to their API colleagues.
