Involvement Opportunities

1.Boston College Study Participation: We would like to invite you to participate in our study which focuses on Asian Indians' views about men and women, views about and experiences with gender and sexual violence, and about living in the United States. I invite you to participate if you:

- Are 18 years or older

- Are of Asian Indian descent (either born in the U.S. or born outside the U.S.)

- Are fluent in English (Survey is administered in English)

- Currently live in the United States

Your participation in this study will involve the completion of several questionnaires related to background information, your perspectives about living in the United States and about men, women, and sexual violence. These questionnaires can be completed online via Qualtrics and should take you about 20-25 minutes to complete. At the end of your participation, you will be given the option to participate in a raffle for a $75 gift card to Amazon.com. If you are interested in participating in this study, you can access the survey at the following web address: https://bclynch.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eFqn2yiprqkWh9i. If you have any questions concerning this research study, please contact me at tumm...@bc.edu or (617) 552-4491.

2.Asian American Studies Minor: Have you ever wondered why you’ve never really heard the stories of Asians and Asian Americans in history books? In the movies? On tv? The Asian American Student Union has been fighting for ten years and we’ve finally established the Asian American studies minor. This minor provides students with an opportunity to concentrate on Asian American racial politics, gender issues, community building, and culture and is a great way to explore subjects not brought up in general education.

We urge you to take an Asian American studies class this semester, whether for a minor or just for fun. Courses offered this semester: WST 3930: Asian women and diaspora AML 3673: Racial Identities in Asian American literature.

If there are any opportunities that you'd like to advertise in this segment, contact Peter Theryo at secreta...@gmail.com.
