Thanks to political organizing, scholarship, and the arts, not to mention media coverage, mixed race has become hyper-visible.\u00a0 So what’s next?\u00a0 The Asian American Literary Review<\/em><\/a> (AALR) Mixed Race Initiative<\/a>, launching this Fall 2012 and running until Spring 2014, won’t simply be a reexamination of race or a survey of mixed voices, important as both are.\u00a0 We envision our role as that of provocateur\u2014inspiring new conversations and cross-pollinations, pushing into new corners.<\/p>\n

The initiative will feature a special issue on mixed race to debut in Fall 2013, all of the contributions for which will be collaborative, “mixed” in nature, bringing together folks across racial and ethnic boundaries, across scholarly disciplines, artistic genres, countries, languages, and generations.\u00a0 What are the nerve centers of mixed race?\u00a0 How does mixed race mark fault lines the world over?\u00a0 We invite you to tell us.\u00a0 Call-for-papers in early-mid September 2012.<\/p>\n

The second phase of the initiative will be an international, multi-institution synchronous teaching program to run in Fall 2013 and Spring 2014.\u00a0 You agree to teach our special issue as a course text (for anywhere from a week to a month during the allotted time period) and we plug you into a vast network of scholars and students across the world, in classrooms ranging from indigenous studies to cultural psychology, from Latin American Studies to literary studies, from art history to race theory.\u00a0 We’ll supply a shared online curriculum and coordinate various cross-classroom exchanges, with the goal of staging a real, livetime, region to region and country to country conversation about race and mixed race.\u00a0 So far classrooms at 40 colleges and universities in five countries have signed on, and we hope yours will join in too.\u00a0 Let’s work together to make a new model for virtual, transnational education and build new social, civic, and intellectual communities.<\/p>\n
