Statement of Solidarity Against Anti-Asian Racism and Xenophobia

The Department of French, Italian, and Comparative Literature strongly endorses the “Statement of Solidarity Against Anti-Asian Racism and Xenophobia” by UWM’s Asian Faculty and Staff Association. We affirm our commitment to supporting and advocating for students, faculty, and staff of the Asian Diaspora as the coronavirus (COVID-19) global health pandemic impacts the community in unique ways.
