Center for Asian and Pacific Studies: As a research center dedicated to deepening connections between the UO community and the diversity of peoples who trace their ancestry to Asia and the Pacific Islands, the staff of CAPS condemns the long history of anti-Asian xenophobia and racism and its complex intersectionality with misogyny in the US. We encourage the CAPS community to be active allies: check in on friends, connect with strangers to let them know you’ve got their back, keep our elders safe, and speak up and speak out.
