Audience: Open to Everyone but Educators, Education Policy Makers, and Education Administrators are especially invited

This session examines part of a larger study on policy advocacy for Wisconsin Act 266, which amends Act 31 to include Hmong and Asian American history education in Wisconsin. This offers participants a window into the desires and intentions for organizing and advocating for statewide education policy. This helps educators, education policy scholars, and education administrators understand why they fought for this bill and why previous iterations of this policy in the past 20 years did not succeed. This study is part of a larger oral history archive being created with the Wisconsin Historical Society to store counterstories about the policy advocacy of Act 266. The archive will launch in Spring 2027.
