NAES is the National Association of Interdisciplinary Studies for Native American, Black, Chicano, Puerto Rican, and Asian Americans. Today, NAES members continue to examine the interlocking forces of domination that are rooted in socially constructed categories of gender, sexuality, class, and race and are committed to challenging paradigms that systematically marginalize the experiences of diverse national and international populations. And, as scholars and researchers, NAES members are also committed to nurturing civic-minded and culturally informed students who strive to strengthen their communities.
