Wei Li shares insights on Chinatown changes

“The traditional Chinatown is changing, and in most cities it is no longer the residential, political and cultural center of Asian-American life that it once was,” said Wei Li, a professor of geography and Asian Pacific American Studies, in an Associated Press story that appeared in several news media: the Washington Post, American Public Media's Marketplace Morning Report,  the San Francisco Chronicle, and Chinese language sites Worldjournal.com and Chineseworld.com.

As well as being a professor in ASU's School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning and School of Social Transformation, Li chairs the U.S. Census Bureau's advisory committee on the Asian population.
