CRAAV is a scholarly and community-oriented initiative to build anti-racist coalitions across Johns Hopkins University and Baltimore. It takes anti-Asian violence as a site at which to develop intersectional frameworks to engage the heterogenous challenges facing Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) communities and interrogate the effects of white supremacy on academic knowledge produced about minoritized communities. CRAAV, an interdisciplinary initiative at Johns Hopkins founded by Erin Chung (political science), Clara Han (anthropology), and H. Yumi Kim (history), launched in fall 2021 with the generous support of SNF Agora Institute's Faculty Grants Program.
