Meet the CEN: A Conversation with UBC’s Centre for Asian Canadian Research and Engagement

UBC’s new Centre for Asian Canadian Research and Engagement — also known as ACRE —is an incredible initiative that is working to centre the voices, experiences, and expertise of Asian Canadian communities, both within the university and, crucially, beyond it.  ACRE's approach to research, teaching, and engagement is deeply rooted in community engagement and is built on long-standing partnerships with cultural, civic, and non-profit organizations throughout Metro Vancouver. By working together, they aim to build a more socially just future where Asian Canadians of all backgrounds can thrive.  In today’s episode, we spoke with the staff behind ACRE. Specifically, Joanna Yang, Szu Shen, Jennifer Lu, and Shirley Ting to learn more about ACRE and how they are supporting reciprocal community-university engagement.  Visit our website to learn more: https://communityengagement.ubc.ca/news/meet-the-cen-a-conversation-with-acre/
