STATEMENT REGARDING HATE CRIMES AND VIOLENCE AGAINST ASIAN AND ASIAN-AMERICANS

Thursday, March 18, 2021

Dear all,

We are deeply troubled by the racism, misogyny and violence against Asians and Asian-Americans around the U.S. We sadly have a long history in the U.S. of racism and discrimination against Asian communities, but, in recent years and months, anti-Asian harassment and violent attacks have increased.

This must be stopped. We need to stand up against this racial violence and work together to promote the security, respect, and dignity of all women and men of Asian descent. As chair of the Department of Political Science, I hope that we can stand together and renew our commitment to the hard work of racial justice, equity and inclusion for all of us.


Best wishes,
Lauren
