Mission/Objectives
Asia is the largest continent with the largest population in the world. There is so much going on in this land and lots of contextual behaviors to be discovered and experienced. Due to some barriers, we may have difficulty finding like-minded colleagues within the ACBS. It is vital that we are able to connect with each other to network, share resources and, ultimately, make our land a better place to live.
General Interest Area to be Specifically Addressed
Facilitating to connect CBS researchers and practitioners who work in Asia or with clients who have Asian cultural heritage.
SIG Activities
We want to connect and share ideas with SIG meetings and presentations. The SIG will create its own listserv and webpage to share resources.
Membership Requirements -
Any person who works, researches, or has an interest in learning more about the integration of CBS in Asian cultural context.
