Abstract: In the twenty-first century, the most pressing, wicked problems all involve social equity issues. To better train MPA and Ph.D. students in fostering social equity, they must be exposed to the complex dynamics involved in diagnosing, understanding, and resolving inequities. Reading and debating case studies is often the best way to facilitate classroom education on social equity. Still, to date, no such accessible compilation exists. This edited volume was created to address this need. Chapter 13 discusses Asian Americans' challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic by introducing an Asian American family as a case study.
