SACP Listserv Atlanta Murders
Dear SACP Members,
We join with many others in expressing our grief and anger at the recent murders of eight people, including six Asian/Asian American women, in Atlanta. We express our support and concern for our Asian/Asian American colleagues, and encourage everyone to take a stand against the increasing incidents of violence against Asians and Asian Americans that has occurred in recent years in the US. On behalf of the SACP, we have joined with other organizations in supporting a fuller statement of concerns issued by A Community-Centered Response to Violence Against Asian American Communities — Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta (https://www.advancingjustice-atlanta.org/aaajcommunitystatement). In addition, there are many resources for learning about how issues of gender and race intersect; here is one starting point: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/18/us/racism-sexism-atlanta-spa-shooting.html
Sincerely,
The SACP Board

The Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy was established in 1967 as a non-profit organization aimed at advancing the development of the disciplines of Asian and comparative philosophy in the international academic arena, and bringing together Asian and Western philosophers, as well as other scholars interested in Asian and world philosophy, for a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas. The Society seeks to provide the professional outlet for philosophers doing work in non-Western and comparative areas of philosophy. The group serves as the largest and most well-known professional organization for scholars in the fields of Asian and global philosophy.
