East of California
This "Directory" was compiled for the members of the East
of California Network. The Network is an organization of
nearly seventy institutions in higher education dedicated
to the promotion of Asian American Studies. The group was
formed in the Fall of 1991 on the campus of Cornell
University, where representatives from twenty-three
colleges and universities resolved to establish the
network. Its purposes are: (1) to institutionalize Asian
American Studies; (2) to develop regional-specific research
and publications; and (3) to provide mutual support to
individuals and programs.
The network is a caucus within the Association for Asian
American Studies, the national professional organization
for the field. It meets twice annually, in the fall at a
member campus and in the spring at the annual meeting of
the Association for Asian American Studies. The network is
open to interested students, faculty, and staff, and
encourages the involvement of allied community institutions
like museums and service organizations. The caucus is
headed by a coordinating committee that directs the
activities of the network, plans the annual fall meeting,
coordinates symposia held at member campuses, and organizes
panels on Asian American Studies at student organization
meetings. Members of the 2002-2003 Coordinating Committee
include: Sharon Lee (University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign) (Co-Chair), Steve Yao (Ohio State
University) (Co-Chair), Antoinette Charfauros McDaniel
(Oberlin College), John Park (University of Illinois at
Chicago), Ling Yan Yang (Indiana University of
Pennsylvania), Crystal Parikh (University of Utah), Amy
Stillman (University of Michigan), Kandice Chuh (University
of Maryland), and Martin Manalansan (University of
Illinois, Urbana Champaign).This "Directory" was compiled
