PEARS 2026
Peer-Led, End-of-Year A/PIA Research Symposium
PEARS 2026 (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 Islander Studies, Critical Ethnic Studies, etc.
This is a great opportunity for undergraduate students to present their ideas, interact with graduate students, build up their CV, 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! Email questions to Joey Song (songjo@umich.edu) If you are interested, sign up with the QR code or URL. Come even if you are not presenting!
