Intro Asian American Studies Part I: Dr. Rona T. Halualani
9/26/2023, 3:30 PM
n this talk, Dr. Rona Tamiko Halualani highlights her multiracial identity as a diasporic (2nd generation) Native Hawaiian and 4th generation (Yonsei) Japanese American with a Native Hawaiian father and a "Local" Japanese American mother -- both from Hawai'i. She will highlight the intersectional collisions of what it means to be Native Hawaiian and Asian American and how these identities and their embedded cultural politics often coalesce and grate against one another. Native Hawaiians do not seek Americanness while Asian Americans have historically worked hard to be recognized equitably by the U.S. Because both of her parents come from Hawai'i, Dr. Halualani will unpack the settler colonial politics that surround her Japanese American mother, Jennie Ayako Oba, as a "Local" in Hawaii (a member of several immigrant groups to Hawai'i to provide labor on plantations and "replace" Native Hawaiians) and her Native Hawaiian father, Alohikea Halualani, who hailed from one of the oldest Hawaiian homesteads, Keaukaha.

Intro Asian American Studies Part II: Dr. David Oh
10/10/2023, 3:30 PM
In David Oh's talk titled, "Betwixt and Between: Asian American Diasporic Media Studies," he addresses the ways his research agenda positions him in liminal, creative spaces. The talk opens with Oh's research agenda as located in both Asian American Studies and Asian Studies. In some ways, his work represents the transnational focus of Global Asias but in other cases, it eschews the transnational for work that is contained with the boundaries of the U.S. and South Korea. Further, he shares how his work in communication studies positions him outside the most visible disciplines of Asian American Studies - literature, sociology, and history. As a communication scholar, his research is not always legible. However, while liminality can produce dislocation, Oh argues that it can also produce ways of belonging that disrupts and creatively engages the interdisciplinarity of the field.
