Asian American Memory Activism
This edited transcript of conversations among a group of scholars and practitioners is the culmination of a multi-year, multi-platform dialogue intended to capture the work and motivations of memory activists towards addressing both historical justice and current social and political needs of Asian American communities
Empire of Hope
David Leheny’s Empire of Hope: The Sentimental Politics of Japanese Decline takes place at a critical juncture in Japan’s postwar history, as Japan emerges from a period of prolonged economic recession, the collapse and renewal of its party system, and devastating losses of life and environmental destruction from the triple disasters of 2011, all of which exposed fractures and dysfunctions within its society and politics. As the country navigates…
We are All Chinese Now
As COVID-19 spread across the United States, so did incidents of racial harassment and violence against Asian Americans which exposed uncomfortable truths about race relations in the United States. President Trump's racist rhetoric and the spread of viral social media videos and posts created a heightened sense of danger, blame, and fear - making all Asians "Chinese" in the United States and potential targets for racial abuse

Creating a Collective Memory of the Comfort Women in the USA
Beyond formal representation
Coalition building and mobilization
Diaspora politics, coalition building, and the gender rights movement have come together to bring about the unexpected: the public memorialization in the United States of “comfort women,” young women from across Asia forced to provide sexual services to the Japanese Imperial Army during the 1930s and 1940s. In this article, we explore how local politics in the United States became the site of competing narratives over the comfort women, and debat…
Womenomics under Abe's Leadership Signs of Feminisation of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party
Japanese Prime Minister Abe is known for his efforts to advance gender equality through womenomics. This seems to put Japan in line with other countries where conservative leaders have embraced gender equality to win back young and female voters and to modernise the image of conservative parties. While electoral calculation drives feminisation in the majority of cases, we argue that this is not the case in Japan. Instead, economic and internation…
