Abstract:Attending to the relationship between geography and knowledge, this essay considers Asian American studies in relationship to Native Pacific Islander studies, Southeast Asian American studies, and transpacific inquiries. The deepening exchanges across these fields show us that transpacific thinking has re-radicalized the past and present Asian American studies agenda by eliciting the longue durée of US imperialist entrenchment. As critical transpacific perspectives continue to re-politicize Asian American affiliations as undisciplined and un-American, Asian American studies as an unruly "activist interdiscipline" promises to offer alternative geographies that refuse the reiteration of US geopolitics or any other form of state-governed interpellations.

Research for the community ultimately aims to effect social change. Transpacific studies offers an analysis about global power, war and colonial presence, and unequal exchanges between nations that explores the transnational ties of Asian Americans.11 For instance, Laura Kina and Wei Ming Dariotis's work examines the intersection of American empire and the racialized/gendered representations of mixed-race Amerasians. The promise of transpacific studies and critical refugee studies is that they not only assess the traumas, needs, and conditions of Asian American communities, but they also examine the subjectivities, hopes, and futures of migrants and refugees as active, creative agents themselves.14 For example, transpacific scholar Wesley Ueunten writes about resistance to the construction of an American military base in Okinawa: Old people, as old and tiny as my Baban [grandmother] in my memories of her, have come to sit on the beach every day in quiet but unrelenting resistance to American Manifest Destiny and Japanese fatalistic dependency on that Destiny. In theory then, the genealogical and discursive analyses of transpacific studies and critical refugee studies would shed light on how we view social realities, and illuminate what's often missing in the analysis of these concepts.

Abstract:This essay grapples with the ways in which contingent labor complicates and subverts the otherwise radical politics of Asian American studies. Alternately known as "adjuncts," "lecturers," or the popular misnomer, "part-time faculty," these academic laborers occupy both a central place in the field and the margins of the academy. Through an excavation of the origins of Asian American studies, the restructuring of academic labor, and the lived experiences of contingent faculty, the essay identifies how their treatment unsettles some of the most common discourses in the field as an intellectual project and university entity while catalyzing possibilities for change.

Yuri Kochiyama (1921–2014) On March 11, 2020, roughly three months after the first death attributed to the newly discovered SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus was confirmed in Wuhan, China, the World Health Organization elevated its characterization of the ensuing outbreaks from "public health emergency of international concern" (PHEIC) to global pandemic. [...]we editors, along with the contributors to this special issue, acknowledge from the outset that the formation of Asian American studies—along with ethnic studies and gender/sexuality studies—was first and foremost a paradigmatic endeavor, one that, as Lisa Lowe productively characterizes it, remains "key to thinking in comparative relational ways about race, power, and interconnected colonialisms. More than a few students found themselves spending more time in the community than in school. [...]were born a host of Asian American community organizations and services, as well as an increasing vector of Asian American political activism in defense of our communities. "4 Such reckonings, intimately tied to the formation of Asian American studies as a critical race-based interdiscipline born out of 1960s civil rights movements and liberation fronts, encapsulate the field's aspirational politics.
