Asian American Experience at Miami University: A Pop-Up Exhibit
October 8 - October 27, 2025
Curated by Carver Spangle, a recent graduate of Miami University, this exhibit explores the history of Asian American experience at Miami University over the past 100 years through archival materials held by the Walter Havighurst Special Collections and University Archives.
The display is part of a broader initiative to collect, preserve, study, and amplify the voices and contributions of Asian American citizens and diasporic Asians in the heartland of the United States. Through collaboration with local communities, educators, curators, and scholars nationwide, the project seeks to shed light on stories that have been overlooked in American history.
Asian American Experience at Miami University: A Pop-Up Exhibit is hosted by Documenting Asian American Histories in Ohio (DAAHO) and AWARE Ohio in collaboration with Miami University Libraries and Mason Public Library.

Join us for our first online workshop as we introduce the vision of our new organization, AWARE (Advocacy and Workshops for Asian American Rights and Empowerment) Ohio.

This event will bring together AWARE Ohio board members and community leaders for a conversation about the rise of anti-Chinese, anti-Asian, and anti-immigrant sentiment in Ohio, and how we can work together to confront these challenges and build a more inclusive future. This workshop will be conducted in Chinese.
