APARRI 2024 Conference

The Asian Pacific American Religions Research Initiative (APARRI) is the largest and longest running interdisciplinary conference series in the United States addressing issues of religion and race in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. Since 1999, APARRI gatherings have provided opportunities for scholars and community leaders involved in work on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander religions to share research, exchange ideas, and build collaborative relationships.

As we gather again at UC Berkeley, we invite participants to reflect on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander religion and solidarity in precarious times. What do religion and solidarity look like now? What does solidarity mean across different religious communities and what form(s) will that solidarity take? How might Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander scholars and religious communities work together to create robust partnerships and networks of support?
