PEARS 2025 (Peer-led, End-of-year A/PIA Research Symposium) is a joint undergraduate and graduate student research symposium that will take place at the end of winter semester at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). Students can elect to do a poster presentation or do a ~10 minute talk with slides. The topic should be related to Asian American Studies, Pacific Islands Studies, Critical Ethnic Studies, etc. This is a great opportunity for undergraduate students to present their ideas, interact with graduate students, and potentially win prizes! The first hour will be poster presentations in the forum, and the next two hours will consist of talks in the auditorium. Food and swag provided!
