Hi! I am Naoko Wake, the Director of the APA Studies program. I teach Asian American History (HST/MC 319), and I am passionate about studying APA families and communities. I highly recommend that you learn about their experiences, too. You will find them incredibly illuminating and empowering.
Naoko Wake, APA Studies Director
