Exhibition Explores 40 Years of
Asian American Studies at UCLA
Since the UCLA Asian American Studies Center was established in 1969, Asian American and Pacific Islander students, faculty and staff have been involved in the tumultuous societal and intellectual currents of their times, from the antiwar, civil rights and Black Power struggles to the women's and gay rights movements, anti-apartheid demonstrations, and activities aimed at achieving equality, diversity and parity in higher education.
Now "40 Years of Breaking Ground: Asian American Studies at UCLA," on display in the rotunda area of UCLA's Powell College Library, explores this complex and fascinating four-decade history of linking the traditional concerns of UCLA with the broader political concerns of society through speaking out, research and writing, and educating others.
Exhibition Hours and Special Free Events:
The exhibition runs from Monday, Oct. 5, through Friday, Dec. 11, in the rotunda area of UCLA's Powell College Library, located in the center of the UCLA campus. Exhibition hours: Monday–Thursday, 7 a.m.–11 p.m.; Friday, 7:30 a.m.–6 p.m.; and Sunday, 1–6 p.m.
There are several programs planned while the exhibition is on display. All are free and open to the UCLA community and the general public:
