The mission of The Center for Asian American Studies at The University of Texas at Austin is to provide an interdisciplinary academic program that transforms how undergraduate and graduate students understand and know the world through the experiences of Asian Americans and other people of color. CAAS also provides resources and organization to foster research and intellectual communities supporting projects about Asian Americans and the Asian diaspora.
Through classes, programming, research, and collaboration, CAAS focuses on addressing social inequality across all spheres of society such as with historically marginalized populations. CAAS is also committed to working with the community to advocate on Asian American issues on and off campus.
Our core values are:
Intellectual Innovation – generating new ideas for the future.
Education – expanding knowledge and critical thinking.
Social Justice – serving as a catalyst for social change.
Collaboration – building coalitions and community.
