Conference 2021: Spring of 2021: A Renewed Awakening of A Needed Conversation

Among those issues is the centering of AAPI voices in programming. In this session, a composer, an academic, and an artistic administrator discussed how these voices can be celebrated with equity and how we can overcome obstacles to achieving that goal.
