Welcome the Yale Daily News’ special issue celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander communities! We are incredibly excited to present a mix of reported content and thoughtful personal essays as well as multimedia and artwork.
What it means to be Asian, Asian American, AAPI or APIDA — or even celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month — is an ongoing conversation nationwide, and we understand we aren’t getting all of it right. If you have feedback about the way we produce special issues, or would like to contribute to a future issue, please contact us at editor@yaledailynews.com.
We hope you enjoy the work we’ve produced and share it with your communities. Most of all, we hope this issue prompts further discussion about AAPI experiences both at Yale and in our newsroom.
