AASO aims to create a space that facilitates a dialogue between Asian and Asian American students with the larger Bard community. We aim to do this by exposing the diverse cultural backgrounds as well as the complex historical and political issues that represent our identity, while simultaneously providing an opportunity for it to be challenged.Here is a brief list of past events:
-Asian American Poetry with Jennifer Chang, N. Rain No, and F. Omar Tellan
-Asian Night, a multicultural night of music, dance, and a lot of food
-Invited writer, Da Chen
-Hip hop performance group from NYC, Kontrast
-and a countless number of community dinners
Although this is an identity-based club, we are not exclusive to Asian Americans. We welcome anyone who wants to be part of AASO's events.
