The Asian American Research Center has received a grant of $150,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a new project: Community Archival Resilience and Engagement (CARE): Voices of Asian American Elders in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project, funded as part of NEH's Cultural and Community Resilience Program, is a collaboration with two community organizations, Bayanihan Equity Center and Lao Seri Association. The project, led by AARC faculty affiliate Lok Siu and AARC researcher Loan Dao, documents the experiences of Filipinx, Thai, and Laotian elders in San Francisco during the COVID-19 and anti-Asian hate pandemics.
