Passages 2009 - 2010 Published!
We are very proud to announce the publication of Passages 2009-2010. Building on the inaugural volume, this year's draws from a much wider range of student research - U of T Summer Abroad program in Shanghai; ASI400 class trip to South Korea; and, as always, research notes on East and Southeast Asia by Dr.David Chu Scholarship recipients. What is more, we are absolutely delighted to have received submissions from graduate students from Columbia University, Fudan University and Harvard University. This marks an important step of the Passages - and the APR - expanding its international reach. Above all, we are indeed privileged to publish an op-ed from Mr. Gordon Chang, forbes.com columnist and author of "The Coming Collapse of China".

MULTICULTURALISM. THE MEANING OF 'CANADIAN ASIAN'.
We want to give a chance for high profile leaders, academics, and
inspirational figures to contribute their insights and knowledge to
the academic community, general public and the new generation of
Asian diaspora. Our goal is to give a forum for them to share their
experiences and struggles, as well as academic or personal insights
towards issues related to the Asians living in Canada and beyond.
