We areshifting our discourse from financial literacy to financial wellnessbecause we want our students to build their financial capitalfor themselves, families and communities. The goal is to seefinancial wellness as a means to access, and equity that hashistorically been denied to many AANHPI communities andsimilarly disenfranchised communities. This workshop will focuson deconstructing notions of wealth that are rooted in capitalism,meritocracy, and the American Dream which have been harmfulto many AANHPI communities.The past two years have brought several challenges for AANHPIstudents. Students are coping with increases in anti-Asian racism,pandemic anxiety, illness and loss of loved ones, and significantinstability in their academic spaces. For students living at home,close living quarters and bicultural stressors have additionallypresented challenges to wellness. In this workshop, the HunterCollege AANAPISI Project (HCAP) presents on its pandemicspecific mental health programming, and discusses strategiesfor designing and implementing programming at participants’own schools. Participants reflect on their own challenges, andbrainstorm ideas for addressing mental health on their campus.We are teachers at our core, specialists in our fields. In thispresentation, we share how the AANAPISI grant supportedfaculty practices that helped create and institutionalize arobust, innovative, and culturally responsive curriculum thatintegrates Asian American Studies themes across the disciplines.We highlight the critical role that similar initiatives can playin advancing equity for AAPI students via the curriculum,particularly in institutions like ours that do not have programs inEthnic Studies or Asian American Studies. Panelists will presentand discuss sample curricular activities in the Humanities,Behavioral Sciences and Mathematics with participants.This panel presentation invites participants to listen, learn, andengage with three Asian American women who received theirdoctoral degrees while simultaneously navigating their careersin higher education.
