Mis-Representation in Education
Implications
There is no singular Asian American experience Aggregating educational trends for all Asian Americans is problematic and inaccurate
Essentializes the diverse experiences of Asian Americans Perpetuates stereotypes: Asian Americans as homogeous Neglects educational gaps of Southeast Asian Americans
Research and Policy makers for equity and access in higher education
Collect disaggregated data by Asian American ethnic subgroups Create policy & programming to address these alarming gaps
