Asian American Literature Association (AALA) at the University of Colorado Boulder is a student-run organization aiming to foster and examine dialogues of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) narratives within and outside of CU. In doing so, we not only recognize the resilience of AAPI authors and their diasporic experience(s), but also reflect on how culture, history and politics of Asian America affects everyone and BIPOC communities today. As a community of students striving to learn more about Asia America, we hope to educate on anti-Asian racism and embrace AAPI culture through art, storytelling, and conversation.
