Why Is There No Asian American Studies Program in Brooklyn College?

This document provides a transcript of the documentary video produced by the Asian American Studies Project at Brooklyn College in 2021. The documentary was created through student research, led by faculty member Cherry Lou Sy, which interrogated the lack of Asian American Studies at their institution. The video collects reflections and observations from numerous students, faculty, and alumni advocating for the development of an Asian American Studies program and curriculum. Participants also reflect on their experiences as Asian Americans, their support for the program, and/or their understanding of why the college has not developed this area of study.
