Database

The only list of Black experts on the Indo-Pacific

NABEA’s Database is a publicly accessible resource for both institutions and individuals to easily find Black Americans across academia, government, and the private sector who specialize in the Indo-Pacific. We encourage everyone who uses this database to be an active participant in increasing Black representation in U.S.-Asia relations by sharing opportunities with these individuals, such as speaking on panels or working at Asia-related organizations. New experts are constantly adding their information to the database and joining the NABEA community at large so you are sure to find new names and areas of expertise when you check again.

If you identify as Black American or African American and would like to benefit from being a member of this database, fill out the sign-up form.

We are currently updating the Database.
Please check back soon as it will return shortly.
Thank you for your patience.
