The purpose of the Critical Diasporic Studies initiative is to propose the creation of a new academic space that connects various existing academic fields at Hopkins under the central theme of diaspora, with goals to create focus areas in Asian American/API Studies, LatinX Studies, and more. We hope that courses offered through and cross-listed with CDS can study diasporic communities from a transnational, as opposed to a geographically constrained and US-centric perspective. Courses might study the history, social experiences, and arts/culture of a specific diasporic community, for example.

This panel will serve as both an intellectual discussion for the need for diverse, comprehensive curricula and a space to promote CDS's goal and proposal.
