ABSTRACT “Becoming Tender” invites readers to rethink intergenerational refugee relations. Rather than solely focusing on refugee parents and their failings, as commonly expressed in scholarly works, becoming tender necessitates children recognizing the perspectives and biases they bring into conversations with parents that impede empathetic connection and value for refugee knowledge. This two-way softening serves as a praxis to rewrite how refugee families have been represented by dominant discourse while also encouraging readers to answer the call to tend to their familial ties. Critical examination of intergenerational engagement between refugees and their children may illuminate unexpected enactments of refugee knowing and healing.

ABSTRACT This essay utilizes a transnational framework to introduce the concept of warcare, which I define as the co-constitutive relationship between humanitarian work and counterinsurgency, by exploring the enactment of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) counterinsurgency in San Diego as an extension of the U.S. War on Terror. I identify the rhetoric put forth by CVE programming and examine the material impact its programming has on refugees in the U.S. as well as communities in countries militarized by the United States. In doing so, I analyze the symbiotic relationship between militarization, displacement, and humanitarian work.

ABSTRACT A feminist refugee epistemology is about naming the affective and material nonendings and afterlives of colonial and imperial violence on refugee terms, as well as foregrounding the polylithic subjectivities that constitute “refugee.” Composed at the heels of war’s declared ending and during a global pandemic, I discuss a feminist collaboration with Dr. Yến Lê Espiritu and artwork by Mary Hazboun. I then discuss the nonendings and afterlives of the War on Terror, ending with a reflection on the importance of Palestine and Indigenous epistemologies in the study of displacement, and the U.S. academy’s response to the 2021 Gaza massacre.

ABSTRACT This essay offers advice for building a student-oriented pandemic pedagogy adapted for remote learning that draws from instructor and teaching assistant experiences from teaching a large lecture class at UCLA in spring 2020. We suggest strategies for a student-oriented virtual classroom that fosters engagement through relatability, accessibility, and compassion. In particular, we offer an ethnic studies pandemic pedagogy that centers taking care of your students and yourself in a historic moment of uncertainty and anxiety spurred by the pandemic, growing anti-Asian racism, and the movement for Black lives.

ABSTRACT Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI)-serving nonprofits were at the forefront of pro-immigrant advocacy during the Trump Administration in the midst of sudden changes in policy that caused extreme turmoil for AANHPIs. This study examines how these federal sociopolitical factors shaped nonprofit activism and finances for Los Angeles AANHPI organizations in 2017. Using interviews, I found that nonprofits could innovate in small ways to support AANHPIs, but were also limited in their advocacy because of funding and political constraints. These findings demonstrate the challenges and persistence required for AANHPI activism in a xenophobic and restrictive landscape.

ABSTRACT Referring to the Vietnam antiwar movement has become a way to dodge the complexity and confusion of the post-1975 Asian American experience. To build Afro-Asian solidarity in the era of Black Lives Matter, there must be an honest and direct engagement with the various Southeast Asian American communities for whom the generational impacts of displacement, exile, trauma, and loss are far from fully recognized or processed. This essay reflects on the Asian American activism in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, tying together Minnesota’s racialized history with contemporary Buddhist-led social justice work in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
