January 24, 2022 | Mental Health and Asian Americans Contexts and Strategies for Faith Leaders  

Plenary Lecture: "Stop AAPI Hate and Racial Trauma"  Dr. Jeung’s talk discusses the collective racial trauma that our communities are facing during COVID-19, its historic precedence, and indigenous approaches toward healing.  

Speaker: Dr. Russell Jeung, professor of Asian American studies, San Francisco State University 

The newly expanded Center for Asian American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary comes at a critical time in the life of Asian America. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial-ethnic demographic in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the persistence of anti-Asian racism. Moreover, minority and immigrant churches are poised to transform the face of Christianity in the United States in the next few decades. The Center for Asian American Christianity seeks to equip and empower the next generation of Asian American leaders for service in church, society, and academy.
