The Southeast Asian American (SEAA) SEAAsterScholars Collective is committed to advancing knowledge and understanding of the postsecondary experiences of SEAA students, staff, and faculty. We met as graduate students through various social connections and higher education networks and were thrilled to learn that there were other Southeast Asian women in higher education.
We built this collective to create space to see each other and to be seen, to share and shape our experiences as womxn, and to commit to making SEAA experiences visible. In alignment with and contribution to a growing body of scholarship produced by Black, indigenous, and women of color scholars, we write and share our experiences as liberatory practice.
We write together as a political act to liberate ourselves from racial and ethnic oppression, patriarchy, and censorship, among other forms of oppression. As an act of witnessing, we write together to affirm our individual and collective experiences. We write for each other to see each other.
