Dr. Park will serve as the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’s guest speaker for Asian Pacific American (APA) Heritage Month.

The CBPP is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone — regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ZIP code, immigration status, or disability status — has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation’s prosperity. They combine rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates and affect policy, both nationally and in states. Learn more here.

Dr. Park will speak about the history of U.S. empire, the formation of the Asian American community, and how this history continues to shape lived experiences of anti-Asian violence.
