ABSTRACT
In the preceding chapters of this volume, I utilize theory and research from several disciplines and invoke scholarship on both students of color in general and Asian American college students in particular to present a relatively comprehensive picture of the lives of Asian American college students. Nevertheless, scholarly research on Asian American students’ experiences and outcomes in higher education remain sparse. Consequently, one major conclusion regarding the state of research on Asian American students in higher education that can be drawn from the current synthesis is that there is an urgent need for more theory and research on Asian American college students to both inform the development of policies and programs that can effectively serve this population, as well as inform larger discourse about diversity and equity in postsecondary education research and discourse.
