Founded in 1999, the Center for Asian American Studies (CAAS) at The University of Texas at Austin is an interdisciplinary academic program promoting understanding and awareness of Asian American issues and communities. We offer a major, minor and graduate portfolio in Asian American studies. We also organize lectures, films, speaker series, discussion forums, and partner with community and campus organizations. CAAS seeks to develop and highlight transnational and hemispheric perspectives and narratives of Asians in the Americas and the American South.
