“…Focus group research on Census participation revealed that lack of knowledge about the Census, such as the purpose and content of the survey and process of participation, was a barrier for several groups, including for Chinese, NHPI, and Vietnamese (Evans et al 2019). Barriers are particularly prominent for Asian immigrants who completed any education outside of the U.S., which appears to decrease civic participation, such as voting or volunteering (Chaudhary and Mai 2021). The impact was greater for some Asian American immigrant groups (Korean and Indian) and less apparent for others (Chinese and Vietnamese).…”

The Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) population in the United States is growing rapidly and is geographically dispersed and culturally diverse. Yet, national estimates produced for this population are often limited to a subset, typically those who are English proficient. Meaningful representation of AANHPI communities in survey research requires strategies that account for their diverse linguistic and cultural characteristics. However, translation alone will not suffice to increase representation. More culturally responsive approaches are needed as well. In a joint project, AARP and NORC at the University of Chicago reviewed the literature and conducted semistructured interviews with experts in AANHPI representation in research to examine barriers to AANHPI survey participation and strategies for overcoming these barriers. This article presents findings and recommendations from this research. We discuss three key challenges to AANHPI representation in surveys: Lack of familiarity with surveys and their importance, lack of trust in those conducting surveys, and issues of language and translation. We then present strategies for increasing AANHPI survey participation: Involving trusted leaders of the AANHPI community, at the local or national level as appropriate for the study; focusing on messaging about the survey that is culturally appropriate and tailored to the population; and providing culturally appropriate translations.

“…In particular, many aspects affect immigrants’ integration to the host society such as language, employment, and presence of social networks. Research shows that immigrant participation in civic and political activities are low (Chaudhary & Mai, 2021; Desipio, 2011; Ramakrishnan & Viramontes, 2010). More than ever, it is critical for adult educators to facilitate connections between civic education and language learning to build the foundations for civic engagement and active citizenship.…”

Civic education provides adult English learners with the tools to be able to actively engage in their communities. This knowledge allows them to gain agency, develop a sense of belongingness, and facilitate lifelong learning. However, teaching civic education can be challenging for instructors for many reasons, such as prioritizing on developing the learners’ linguistic skills over their civic and citizenship knowledge. Thus, this article proposes a conceptual framework to incorporate civic education to the adult ESL classroom. Furthermore, it provides examples of relevant strategies and specific activities that illustrate the framework in action.

“…Ali Chaudhary and Quan Mai (2021) shift the lens from policy attitudes to civic participation and examine variation within a racial group that is often perceived as only weakly engaged in U.S. politics. Much research on Asian American political participation has focused on the civic paradox of socioeconomic status (SES): even though Asian Americans have, on average, high levels of education and income, they have among the lowest levels of voting participation.…”
