Southeast Asian Americans in Higher Education

Asian Americans are often an afterthought in conversations on providing support and resources to minoritized students. Many assume that Asian Americans are high academic achievers. Generalizing the overall Asian American experience dismisses the educational inequity that Southeast Asian Americans (SEAA) face in the U.S higher education system. Often time, SEAA voices are ignored by decision-makers. In this episode, we interviewed Albert Chantaboury, a Lao-American doctoral candidate from National Louis University, to talk about his journey to higher education and strategies for elevating the voices of SEAA in higher education.  Notes & References:  APIDA - Asian American Pacific Islander Desi American  Dr. OiYan Poon, www.oiyanpoon.com
