Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

 This month we are featuring a conversation with one of the nation’s foremost experts on AAPI demographics: Karthick Ramakrishnan, a UC Riverside public policy professor and the founding director of AAPI Data, which publishes demographic data and policy research on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Please join us for this informative discussion, which will be moderated by Josie Huang, KPCC Asian American communities correspondent.

Karthick Ramakrishnan, a UC Riverside public policy professor and one of the nation’s top experts on Asian American demographics, will share key trends to know about the AAPI community. He’ll discuss which groups are growing and shrinking, where they’re living, how their views converge and diverge from each other and how to shape an AAPI policy agenda. He’ll also make projections about the 2020 Census findings and demonstrate how to use a detailed AAPI ethnicity mapping tool for the nation’s 20 largest metropolitan areas.
