Abstract/Contents

Abstract: "Listen to the Silence" is Stanford's annual Asian American issues conference organized by the Asian American Students' Association (AASA). "Listen to the Silence" began at Stanford in 1995 out of the need to increase the visibility of Asian American issues and to educate those in the community and beyond about the conditions of the Asian American community. The conference goals have since expanded to include the empowerment of Asian American students to take direct action to improve their communities and work towards social justice. Through the various workshops hosted by students, nonprofits, and community leaders, the Listen to the Silence conference provides a platform for discussion about the intersections of history, identity, and social change to provide an avenue for taking action and creating cross-cultural and cross-campus coalitions. Ultimately, the Listen to the Silence conference aims to provide tangible tools and resources to inspire, educate, and empower participants to work towards creating a more equitable and fair society as part of the broader movement for social justice.
