Abstract

As predominantly White institutions (PWIs), independent schools in the United States can alienate students who are either not White or do not possess the cultural capital necessary to navigate those spaces. Scholars have argued that alliance/affinity spaces help students of color acclimate to PWIs and help create a sense of belonging. My work with the Asian Student Alliance (ASA) over the past 2 years has shown that, while the ASA leadership can and has supported its affinity members, the lack of attention that the school administration gives to events outside of the campus puts the onus on student leaders to become adults and process complex events without feeling that the institution cares for them. The students, however, do not necessarily want to take on the task. In the end, school administrators and teachers should work to challenge the model minority myth and the perpetual foreigner stereotype: school leaders must work with student leaders to address AAPI hate at the institutional level, and history teachers at PWIs must cover Asian American history and activism more in the curriculum to challenge these two stereotypes and invite students to consider, and discuss, how they can engage in their own form of activism with each other.

聚焦独立学校的亚裔美国人之声
作为以白人为主的机构(pwi),美国的私立学校可能会疏远那些不是白人的学生,或者不具备驾驭这些空间所必需的文化资本的学生。学者们认为,联盟/亲和空间有助于有色人种学生适应pwi,并有助于创造归属感。我在亚洲学生联盟(ASA)过去两年的工作表明,虽然ASA领导层能够并且已经支持了它的亲密成员,但学校管理部门对校园之外的事件缺乏关注,这使得学生领袖有责任成为成年人,处理复杂的事件,而感觉不到机构关心他们。然而,学生们并不一定愿意承担这项任务。最后,学校管理者和教师应该努力挑战模范少数族裔神话和永久的外国人刻板印象:学校领导必须与学生领袖合作,在制度层面解决对亚太裔的仇恨,而pwi的历史教师必须在课程中更多地介绍亚裔美国人的历史和行动主义,以挑战这两种刻板印象,并邀请学生考虑和讨论他们如何参与自己的行动主义形式。
