A true first in my career, I was asked for an interview by a branch of RT, Russian state media. On what, you may ask? The Japanese American incarceration. I have SO MANY thoughts. To remove suspense, let me say: I have declined.

We can only reduce these attacks by examining our past & seeking to repair our present, as continues to be done for the JA incarceration. Which is why I think that the attempt to whitewash history and culture in our textbooks is so wrong-headed, and will harm us in the long run.

Harry Belafonte is part of the soundtrack of my life. My parents and I laughed over and over listening to his "Matilda" on Live from Carnegie Hall. The hora at my wedding was to his "Hava Nagila." Always the sweeter for knowing his fierce commitment to civil rights. #RestInPower

Nothing makes you realize the diversity of the Asian American formation more than the reactions to #IndianMatchmaking I know tons of E As Am bingewatchers who eat it up (not to say they think it's a documentary) and S As Ams who can't even bear to watch.

A two-Gotanda day is a good day. #AAAS2023 playwright Philip Gotanda, legal scholar Neil Gotanda who I joked with that I teach his work at my own risk these days (sadly not much of a joke). I love @AAAStudies
