INSTRCC is excited to now be a part of the new UBC Centre for Asian Canadian Research and Engagement (ACRE)

Our students are thankful to the strong commitment of community supporters and donors over the last 20 years in creating and collaborating on community projects, in providing internships and opportunities for students to gain invaluable experience, and for helping ignite a passion for exploring family and cultural heritage in shaping their personal identities.

Check out INSTRCC’s final e-newsletter for a message from our Director Professor Henry Yu, and a look-back on some of the key projects our team has been a part of over the last two decades. We are continuing our work and collaboration on community projects as a part of ACRE.

Moving forward, we invite you to connect with ACRE to stay updated on our team’s work:

INSTRCC Summer 2022 Student Interns

Initiative for Student Teaching and Research in Chinese Canadian Studies

The Initiative for Student Teaching and Research in Chinese Canadian Studies (INSTRCC) at UBC was created to engage and empower students to conduct crucial and groundbreaking community-based research relevant to Chinese Canadian communities. In addition, INSTRCC seeks to gather and share the stories and histories of Chinese Canadians, their families, and their communities so future generations will be aware of the rich and complex stories that make up diverse aspects of Canadian history and identity. To achieve these aims, students are encouraged to use the latest digital technologies to distribute and create informative and engaging materials that anyone can easily access to learn about the importance of Chinese Canadians. As one of the community engagement initiatives that works with the Asian Canadian and Asian Canadian Studies (ACAM) program at UBC, INSTRCC prepares students to work on community-engaged projects both locally and globally, providing transformative learning experiences that help shape students understanding of themselves and the world in which they live.
