We are not a stereotype: co-creating resources centering Asian American and pacific islander histories. (Special Issue: Snapshot: documenting museum education during intersecting pandemics.)

ABSTRACT

The dual pandemic that started in 2020, COVID-19 and events revealing systemic racism, has increased awareness about violence against Asian American and Pacific Islander communities across the United States. This article describes how the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, a "museum without walls," collaborated with a group of educators to co-create video resources for teaching and learning AAPI histories and stories.
