Dear USC KSOM community,
Please join us:
The presentation will examine the existing empirical literature on the psychological, behavioral and health impacts of racism against Asian Americans, as well as the implications of this research for health service providers. This presentation will be contextualized within the varied experiences of Asian Americans in the US today and historically, including examples of anti-Asian hate violence that have emerged in recent years.
Speaker: Alvin Alvarez, PhD
