SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Racist Love - Author Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a discussion of Leslie Bow’s Racist Love: Asian Abstraction and the Pleasures of Fantasy (2022). The talk will feature a brief comment from the author\, followed by Q and A with participants. \nRacist Love traces the ways in which Asian Americans become objects of anxiety and desire. Conceptualizing these feelings as “racist love\,” Bow explores how race is abstracted and then projected onto Asianized objects. Bow shows how anthropomorphic objects and images such as cartoon animals in children’s books\, home décor and cute tchotchkes\, contemporary visual art\, and artificially intelligent robots function as repositories of seemingly positive feelings and attachment to Asianness. \nProfessor Leslie Bow is Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor of English and Asian American Studies and Dorothy Draheim Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She is the author of the award-winning\, ‘Partly Colored’: Asian Americans and Racial Anomaly in the Segregated South (New York University Press\, 2010); and Betrayal and Other Acts of Subversion: Feminism\, Sexual Politics\, Asian American Women’s Literature (Princeton University Press\, 2001). \nRegister here for Zoom attendance link \nSponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Department of Asian American Studies \nPhoto credit: Duke University Press

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Passing for Perfect Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, Passing for Perfect\, erin Khuê Ninh considers the factors that drove college imposters such as Azia Kim—who pretended to be a Stanford freshman—and Jennifer Pan—who hired a hitman to kill her parents before they found out she had never received her high school diploma—to extreme lengths to appear successful. Why would someone make such an illogical choice? And how do they stage these lies so convincingly\, and for so long? \nThese outlier examples prompt Ninh to address the larger issue of the pressures and difficulties of striving to be a “model minority\,” where failure is too ruinous to admit. Passing for Perfect insists that being a model minority is not a myth but is coded into one’s programming as an identity—a set of convictions and aspirations\, regardless of present socioeconomic status or future attainability—and that the true cost of turning children into high-achieving professionals may be higher than anyone can bear. \nerin Khuê Ninh is an Associate Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She is the author of Ingratitude: The Debt-Bound Daughter in Asian American Literature\, which won the 2013 Literary Studies Book Award from the Association for Asian American Studies. \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84816328894 \nImage: Temple University Press \nSponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Asian Pacific Islander Graduate Student Alliance (APIGSA)

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Cannabis and South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81976204749?pwd=ekZ2UUtFd0U0Znh6bFpIcXFXWUs5QT09 \nHistorical scholarship now conceives empire as a webbed uneven field of power relations and a multispecies enterprise. In other words\, the anxious and breathless struggle of European imperialism to sustain itself subjected human\, plant\, animal\, and insect bodies to its ambition to govern through logics of colonial difference. This paper argues that the cannabis plant in South Asia\, in the nineteenth century\, while being a subject of British revenue systems transformed into a race-d and gendered mode of explaining anticolonial insurgency by South Asian rebels. The intoxicating substance of the plant\, in the discursive logic of empire\, was seen to vitiate Asian bodies against European power. Cannabis also animated other imperial operations like the delegitimization of Indian sovereignty. Using the expansive reach of imperial periodical culture in the nineteenth century\, this paper highlights the Asian and global contexts within which cannabis became an alibi for rebellion or violence against empire. \nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the UC Santa Barbara. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and studies the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities. His work has appeared in the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, and Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently writing a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Department of Asian American Studies \nZoom meeting link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81976204749?pwd=ekZ2UUtFd0U0Znh6bFpIcXFXWUs5QT09

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Social Media and the Shape of "Man"
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/85893482888 \nInspired by Cho’s ethnographic work with queer of color users of the platform Tumblr and using the Tumblr presence of Filipinx transfeminine visual and performance artist Mark Aguhar as a recurring touchstone\, this work-in-progress talk’s provocation is that the assumptive ways in which a social media platform “should” be designed—singular identity\, linear text exchanges\, direct messaging\, traversable connections\, and more—in fact instantiate a model of “Man” that can be traced back to the epistemological violences of European colonialism. Relying on Sylvia Wynter’s invocation of the idea of homo oeconomicus as well as Lisa Lowe’s historical analysis of the colonial-era origins of the modern liberal subject\, this talk excavates the assumptions of the specific manner in which “Man” is instantiated online and offers design examples that resist this logic\, inviting us to imagine digital sociality from a standpoint of interdependence instead of the stance of the assumptive liberal individual. \nAlexander Cho is a media scholar\, digital design researcher\, critical theorist\, and pop culture geek. He teaches classes at UCSB on Asian Americans in media as well as on gender and sexuality. His research combines critical race theory\, queer theory\, design thinking\, and ethnography to explore how marginalized populations use social media as a tool for self-expression and social change and explores how social media contain values and power structures built into their design. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Department of Asian American Studies \nZoom Meeting Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/85893482888

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Asian/American Studies Collective Winter Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84178208506 \nThe Asian/American Studies Collective is proud to celebrate the publication of Dr. Diane Fujino’s book\, Nisei Radicals: The Feminist Poetics and Transformative Ministry of Mitsuye Yamada and Michael Yasutake. \nAbout the book\nWhile critiques of the model minority trope abound\, this work has not dislodged the Nisei\, or second-generation Japanese Americans\, from the label of “Quiet Americans.” Working against the announced politics of Nisei assimilationism\, this talk examines the feminist poetics of Mitsuye Yamada and the transformational “jubilee liberation” ministry of her brother\, Rev. Michael Yasutake. Mitsuye Yamada’s sensitive writings are known for revealing tropes of silence in the lives of Japanese American women\, often through critique of the complicated relationship with her own mother. Michael Yasutake moved from military resistance during World War II\, to counseling draft objector during the Vietnam War\, to explicit opposition to US and Japanese imperialism and support for political prisoners. Through biographical study\, the book reveals Nisei resistance in the 1970s to 1990s (an ostensibly dormant period of Asian American struggle)\, understudied intergenerational continuity\, and a radical lineage of Japanese American activism. \nDiane Fujino is professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Her scholarship centers on Asian American and Black liberation struggles and includes books on Yuri Kochiyama\, Richard Aoki\, and the Black Panther Party. She is active with Ethnic Studies Now! Santa Barbara and Cooperation Santa Barbara. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Department of Asian American Studies \nZoom Meeting Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84178208506

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Asian/American Studies Collective Winter Speakers Series
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/82289262845 \nThe Asian/American Studies Collective is excited to announce our winter speakers series\, which features an exciting lineup of scholars from across the UCSB campus. For each talk\, an invited speaker will share their current research during the first hour and the second hour will be explicitly dedicated to creating space to allow graduate students to ask questions related to research and professionalization. \nOur first speaker is Dr. Simi Kang\, a queer\, mixed Sikh American community advocate\, educator\, artist\, and scholar. Kang’s work centers Southeast Asian American collaborative resistance to imagine environmentally and economically just futures in Louisiana. Kang is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in UCSB’s Department of Asian American Studies. \nAbstract: Every year\, multiple times a year\, Southeast Louisiana’s coast-dependent communities must make the impossible decision to remain in an environmental sacrifice zone or leave home with no resources. This is particularly true for Vietnamese American and other BIPOC coast-dependent communities\, whose livelihoods are tied to place and whose lives are targeted by environmental extraction. In light of worsening storm seasons and rampant land loss\, my collaborators are called “disaster refugees” or “climate migrants” even before they are forced from home. Although the terms identify ‘natural’ processes as the problem\, the Vietnamese American fisherfolk I work with know better: the oil leases\, the refineries\, the dead zones make the land slide into the ocean and the storms rage\, not the ‘environment.’ This talk considers how the term “climate migrant” functions in environmental policy and politics\, ultimately asking how we can more clearly articulate undesirable movements from home as the result of environmental sacrifice. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Department of Asian American Studies \nZoom Meeting Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/82289262845
