Blog
The AAPR blog features web-only content related to Asian American policy. To keep our online blog more dynamic, we will be focusing on two sources for stories. The first will be an aggregation of up-to-date articles relevant to AAPI policy, gathered from news outlets across the web. The second is original, student-written content on AAPI policy issues — more intermittent, but important and thoughtful as always. We welcome potential submissions from both within and outside the Harvard Kennedy School. Please submit potential blog ideas to aapr@hks.harvard.edu.
