The conference website and agenda.

The recent surge in hate crime toward Asian Americans results from a divided American society that has polarized the people for years. The culture of hate, attacking different views, and discrimination has poisoned people's judgments and brainwashed many who have made efforts to turn the current public health concern into a racial issue.

For this reason, the Journal of Eastern European and Central Asian Research (ieeca.org), as an international research organization, in cooperation with various U.S. universities and the Chinese Embassy in the USA, will engage in discussion to identify the causes of the new level of xenophobia and do whatever we can to improve the value of an academic society where we experience a more humane and peaceful life.

Professor Mary C. Szto, Syracuse University, College of Law - Keynote speaker

Mary C. Szto is a Teaching Professor at Syracuse University College of Law, where she teaches Asian Americans and the Law. Before entering teaching, Professor Szto practiced law in New York City. She also co-founded a legal aid organization specializing in immigration law.  Professor Szto has published articles on Chinese American property discrimination, real estate agents, anti-corruption law, Chinese law and ritual, and a bilingual text on American property law in China.  She regularly speaks on anti-Asian racism from a historical perspective and places current animus within the context of legal exclusion and conditional inclusion (the model assimilated minority).
