Welcome to the Asian Pacific American Caucus (APAC)
The Asian Pacific American Caucus is an American Political Science Association Related Group. Membership in the caucus is free and open to all interested students, scholars, and practitioners of and on APA politics. Each year, APAC organizes panels to showcase cutting edge research on Asian Pacific American Politics at the annual American Political Science Association meeting. In addition to the meeting panels, the Asian Pacific American Caucus also hold an annual business meeting and reception.
We represent members of the American Political Science Science Association (APSA) who identify as Asian-Pacific American (APA) and scholars interested in the interests of the APA community. According to the APSA Task Force on Political Science in the 21st Century and the APSA Diversity Report, 3.4% or 319 political science faculty self-identified as APA in 2010 and 13.4% or 110 of doctorates conferred in Political Science in 2006 were awarded to individuals identifying as APA.
CALL FOR PROPOSAL FOR APSA 2014 Annual Meeting
The Asian Pacific American Caucus welcomes proposals for papers on the engagement of Asian Pacific Americans in both transnational and domestic politics. We are interested broadly in the civic engagement and political mobilization of Asian Pacific Americans. In accordance with this year’s theme "Politics After the Digital Revolution," we also encourage proposals for papers that examine the role of digital technologies (such as social media) in politics. However, papers on all topics related to Asian Pacific American politics will be considered.
Some questions of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: How do Asian Pacific Americans engage with the political system, for example in local, state, and national elections? How do Asian Pacific Americans mobilize for rights? How do these experiences vary among different Asian Pacific American subgroups, or by segments within ethnic communities, such as those defined by gender, religion, profession, income-level, or ideological orientation? How have digital technologies such as social media changed Asian Pacific American activism? How has “Big Data,” or the ability to collect vast amounts of information, affected our understanding of Asian Pacific American politics?
