SUMMARY:Film Screening: Third Act by Tad Nakamura '03
DESCRIPTION:UCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television\, in collaboration with the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and UCLA Asian American Studies Department\, present Third Act\, by Tad Nakamura ’03 about his father Robert Nakamura MFA ’75\, director\, UCLA film professor\, and founder of the UCLA Center for EthnoCommunications.  Join us for this special screening and conversation. About the film: “Generations of artists call Robert A. Nakamura “The Godfather of Asian American film\,” but his son\, Tad\, calls him Dad. As the filmmaking son of a filmmaking legend\, Tad uses the lessons his dad taught him to decipher the legacy of an aging man who was a child survivor of the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans\, a successful photographer who gave it up to tell his own story\, an activist at the dawn of a social movement—and a father whose struggles have won his son freedoms that eluded Japanese Americans of his generation. As Parkinson’s Disease clouds his memory\, Tad sets out to retrieve his story—and in the process discovers his own. The two have made films together\, with Robert always by Tad’s side.” \nOfficial Selection of the Sundance Film Festival! Don’t miss this powerful and moving film followed by an exclusive conversation with the director himself! \nCome early for the lobby reception\, connect with community\, and celebrate Asian American storytelling on the big screen! \nReception at 6:00 PM | Screening at 7:00 PM \nSeats will fill up FAST — RSVP now!

SUMMARY:The Arrogance of Power Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:To mark the 40th anniversary of the Philippines’ EDSA People’s Power protests\, the Luskin AAPI Caucus at UCLA is hosting a film screening of the 1983 documentary\, “Arrogance of Power.” This documentary shows the fascist might of the Marcos regime and how militarization and human rights violations were institutionalized in Philippine political life. This event serves as a reminder of the vigilance required to protect human rights from abusive and corrupt powers.  \nJoin us as we discuss the historical importance of the EDSA Revolution and the lessons we pull from it to navigate today’s political climate. We will also share information about the UCLA Asian American Studies digital exhibit Never Forget\, a digital exhibition of political posters and oral histories chronicling the transnational Anti-Martial Law Movement. \nFilipino catering will be provided by LA Rose Cafe; spots are limited\, so food is first come first serve. \nAdditionally\, we will hold balikbayan box donation drive to support typhoon relief(which one/s?) in the Philippines\, in collaboration with the Filipino Migrant Center of Long Beach! We encourage folks to please bring medical supplies\, non-perishable goods\, and/or toiletries to donate for typhoon relief in the Philippines.

SUMMARY:Race and the Question of Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful afternoon with Dr. Lana Tatour as she discusses her latest edited volume\, Race and the Question of Palestine (Stanford University Press 2025). This talk explores the critical intersections of settler colonialism and the grammar of race\, examining how racial structures operate as a technology of power and colonial rule. \nAbout the Book: This book develops from the position that the colonization of Palestine—like other imperial and settler colonial projects—cannot be understood outside the grammar of race. Race and the Question of Palestine (Stanford University Press 2025) explores how race operates as a technology of power and colonial rule\, a political and economic structure\, a set of legal and discursive practices\, and a classificatory system. Offering a wide-ranging set of essays by historians\, legal scholars\, political scientists\, sociologists\, literary scholars\, and race critical theorists\, this collection illuminates how race should be understood in terms of its political work\, and not as an identity category interchangeable with ethnicity\, culture\, or nationalism. Essays build on a long-standing tradition of theorizing race in Palestine studies and speak to four interconnected themes—the politics of racialization and regimes of race\, racism and antiracism\, race and capital accumulation\, and Black–Palestinian solidarity. These engagements challenge the exceptionalism of the Palestinian case\, and stress the importance of locating Palestine within global histories and present politics of imperialism\, settler colonialism\, capitalism\, and heteropatriarchy \nAbout the Speaker: Lana Tatour is a Senior Lecturer in Global Development at the University of New South Wales. She is a scholar of settler colonialism\, indigeneity\, race\, and citizenship\, with a focus on Palestine. Her coedited book\, Race and the Question of Palestine was published in 2025 with Stanford University Press. She is currently completing her monograph\, Colonized Citizens: Liberalism\, Settler Colonialism\, and Palestinian resistance. Lana is also a public commentator. She has appeared on ABC News\, the BBC\, and TRT World\, and her publications have appeared in The Guardian\, Al-Jazeera\, Mondoweiss\, Middle East Eye\, The Age\, Overland\, and more.

SUMMARY:Vietnamerica
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Vietnamerica on November 18th!  \nLearn more about the film below: \nFilm Description: Following the wars in Vietnam\, over two million people fled to country with the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam. That exodus\, referred to by many as “the boat people” resulted in nearly half dying while in flight\, battling the elements\, starvation\, and pirates. \nVietnamerica follows Master Nguyen Hoa as he returns to former refugee camps in Southeast Asia after three decades abroad to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Having fled Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends\, Hoa was the only survivor. \nExecutive Producer Nancy Bui of the Vietnamese Heritage Foundation joins GETSEA and 25 universities across North America to watch Vietnamerica together simultaneously and connect via Zoom for a discussion with the filmmaker about the Vietnamese diaspora\, their struggle\, and how Master Hoa’s story is a prism to see the larger group. \nFor more information on the film\, visit http://vietnamericamovie.org.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with No-No Boy
DESCRIPTION:No-No Boy illuminates hidden Asian American histories through folk songs\, sound pieces\, live projections\, and storytelling. NPR Music has hailed it as “one of the most insurgent pieces of music you’ll ever hear which re-examines americana with devastating effect… An act of revisionist subversion.” Taking inspiration from his own family’s history living through the Vietnam War as well as many other stories of Asian American experience\, Nashville-born songwriter and scholar Julian Saporiti has transformed his years of doctoral study into an innovative project that bridges a divide between art and scholarship. No-No Boy’s third full-length LP EMPIRE ELECTRIC was recently released by the Smithsonian Folkways label. \nJoin us on May 23rd from 2:30-3:15 PM via Zoom for a conversation with No-No Boy! This conversation is part of the course “Asian and Asian American Classical Reception” taught by Professor Kelly Nguyen (Department of Classics) who will moderate the discussion with No-No Boy on the themes of fragmentation and creation. Students in the course will have engaged with Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee\, and the poetry of Hoa Nguyen and Vi Khi Nao. Their conversation will discuss the legacy of the Vietnam War and the concept and consequences of the myth of Western Civilization and the false binaries between East and West\, especially as crafted and wielded by imperialism. No-No Boy will also share his music and experience with diaspora. This event is open to the public. \nScan the QR Code or visit this link to register for the event!

SUMMARY:No-No Boy in Concert at UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Ticket reservations are required. Doors open at 5:30PM. Concert will start at 6PM.\n\nPlease bring a blanket to sit in the grass area to enjoy the live concert!\nNo-No Boy is an immersive concert experience that illuminates hidden Asian American histories through folk songs\, sound pieces\, live projections\, and storytelling. NPR Music has hailed it as “one of the most insurgent pieces of music you’ll ever hear which re-examines americana with devastating effect… An act of revisionist subversion.” Taking inspiration from his own family’s history living through the Vietnam War as well as many other stories of Asian American experience\, Nashville-born songwriter and scholar Julian Saporiti has transformed his years of doctoral study into an innovative project that bridges a divide between art and scholarship. This performance will celebrate No-No Boy’s third full-length LP EMPIRE ELECTRIC released by the Smithsonian Folkways label.\nSounds contain histories and prophecies. If you listen closely\, there are winding tales to be found in a string brushed by a handmade bow\, worlds to be uncovered in the trill of a bird about to take flight\, and truths to be reckoned with in the grain of an unknown voice. This is the revelation at the core of Empire Electric\, the third album by No-No Boy\, and its songs that examine narratives of imperialism\, identity\, and spirituality. It tells stories rooted in years of research and relationship-building\, made vibrant and profound through a rich congregation of instrumental\, environmental\, and electronically manipulated sounds from Asia and America. Every single sound\, from the gracious swell of a pedal steel to the warbling pluck of a koto\, becomes a part of the poetic recasting of shared post-colonial trauma and the startling joys that can be wrung out of that hardship.\nhttps://www.nonoboyproject.com\nDr. Julian Saporiti was born and raised in Nashville\, TN. He enjoys making music\, encountering the arts\, and exploring the outdoors. He currently lives in Portland\, OR with his wife and collaborator Emilia Halvorsen Saporiti.

SUMMARY:Starry Field: a Memoir of Lost History
DESCRIPTION:Join the UCLA Transnational Gender and Labor Working Group in discussing Margaret Lee’s newest book Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History. Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History is a poignant memoir by journalist Margaret Juhae Lee\, who sets out on a search for her family’s history lost to the darkness of Korea’s colonial decades\, and contends with the shockwaves of violence that followed them over four generations and across continents. Combining investigative journalism\, oral history\, and archival research\, Margaret reveals the truth about the grandfather she never knew. What she found is that Lee Chul Ha\, her grandfather who left her grandmother and two young sons in 1936\, was not a source of shame; he was a student revolutionary imprisoned in 1929 for protesting the Japanese government’s colonization of Korea. He was a hero—and eventually honored as a Patriot of South Korea almost 60 years after his death. But reclaiming her grandfather’s legacy\, in the end\, isn’t what Margaret finds the most valuable. It is through the series of three long-form interviews with her grandmother that Margaret finally finds a sense of recognition she’s been missing her entire life. A story of healing old wounds and the reputation of an extraordinary young man\, Starry Field bridges the tales of two women\, generations and oceans apart\, who share the desire to build family in someplace called home. \nLocation: UCLA Rolfe 3126 \nWhen: May 2nd\, 2024 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM (reception to follow) \nMargaret Juhae Lee is an Oakland-based writer and a former literary editor of The Nation magazine. She has been the recipient of a Bunting Fellowship from Harvard University\, and a Korean Studies Fellowship from the Korean Foundation. She is also a Tin House scholar\, and has been awarded residencies at the Mesa Refuge\, the Anderson Center\, and Mineral School. In 2020\, she was named “Person of the Year” by the Sangcheol Cultural Welfare Foundation in Kongju\, South Korea\, for her work in honoring her grandfather\, Patriot Lee Chul Ha. Her articles\, reviews\, and interviews have been published in The Nation\, Newsday\, Elle\, ARTnews\, The Advocate\, The Progressive and The Rumpus. \nPurchase a copy of the book here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/starry-field-a-memoir-of-lost-history-margaret-juhae-lee/20141983?ean=9781685890933

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Shin Issei Women and Contemporary Japanese American Community
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Sunday\, March 3rd at the West LA Buddhist Temple for a Book Talk and Signing with author Tritia Toyota for her b! RSVP with the QR or through this link. Read below for more on Tritia Toyota and the discussants for the event: \nBook: Intimate Strangers: Shin Issei Women and Contemporary Japanese American Community\, 1980–2020 by author Tritia Toyota \nhttps://tupress.temple.edu/books/intimate-strangers  \nBook description \nAt the end of the twentieth century\, many twenty-something Japanese women migrated to places like Southern California with few skills and an overall lack of human capital. These women\, members of the shin Issei community\, sought economic opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. \nIn Intimate Strangers\, shin Issei women tell stories of precarity\, inequality\, and continuing marginality\, first in Japan\, where they were restricted by gendered social structures\, and later in the United States\, where their experiences were compounded by issues such as citizenship. \nIntimate Strangers charts the experiences of shin Issei lives: their existence in Japan prior to migration\, their motivations for moving to the United States\, their settlement\, and their growing awareness of their place in American society. Toyota chronicles how these resilient young women became active agents in circumventing social restrictions to fashion new lives of meaning. The Nikkei community (Americans of Japanese ancestry who were born in the United States) has been transformed by the inclusion of shin Issei\, and Toyota describes the tensions around intergroup negotiations over race\, identity\, and the possibility of common belonging. Intimate Strangers is a perceptive study of migration and community incorporation enacted around cultural differences and processes. \n  \nSpeaker \nTritia Toyota is Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and is a Research Scholar at the Asian American Studies Center with the University of California\, Los Angeles. She is the author of Envisioning America: New Chinese Americans and the Politics of Belonging. She also wrote and produced the documentary Asian America. She is a recipient of the Award for Excellence in Graduate Mentoring and Teaching from the UCLA Asian American Studies Graduate Student Association. \n  \nDiscussants \nValerie Matsumoto is the UCLA George and Sakaye Aratani Chair on the Japanese American Incarceration\, Redress and Community and a Professor of History and Asian American Studies. She is the author of “City Girls: The Nisei Social World in Los Angeles\, 1920-1950” and “Farming the Home Place: A Japanese American Community in California\, 1919-1982” and co-editor of the essay collection “Over the Edge: Remapping the American West”. She is the recipient of the UCLA Distinguished Teaching Award\, among several teaching and mentoring awards from faculty colleagues and students at UCLA. \n  \nYasuko Takezawa is a Visiting Professor serving as the Terasaki Chair in U.S.-Japan Relations with UCLA Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies for 2023-2024.

SUMMARY:Workshop for UCLA AASD Fulbright Scholar Nguyễn Thị Minh
DESCRIPTION:During this workshop\, participants will give feedback on Nguyễn Thị Minh’s paper entitled “Women’s Love in Antigone by Sophocles and The Tale of Kiều by Nguyễn Du.” The paper will be circulated one week in advance. Engaging feminist scholarship\, the paper critiques how Antigone has previously been read within a Eurocentric frame and masculine model of subjectivity while Kiều has been positioned within a male-centered interpretive history in both Vietnam and the US. While Antigone is seen as “the hope” of feminism (Bonnie Honig 2013\, 36) and “the occasion for a new field of human” (Judith Butler 2000\, 82)\, Kiều’s story is viewed as conveying “a message of hope” for both the individual and the country of Vietnam (Huynh Sanh Thong 1983). Drawing on feminist philosophical reflections on love and utilizing the perspectives of women thinkers such as Maria Lugones\, bell hooks\, and Trinh Thi Minh-ha\, the paper analyzes the possibilities of women’s love evoked by the figures of Kiều and Antigone in the two works. Highlighting the experiences of harmonious subjects who are moving beyond the private realm into the public sphere\, these works offer new potentials for resistance and reflections on love. From this\, the paper proposes a direction towards a “harmonious feminism” as an alternative projection for the future of feminism. \n\nNguyễn Thị Minh\, a Fulbright research scholar in the Asian American Studies Department\, UCLA\, is a tenured lecturer in the Faculty of Linguistics and Literature Studies\, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Her main research interests are comparative literature\, film adaptation\, gender studies\, and semiotics. She is at the forefront of initiatives to cultivate Gender Studies in Vietnam\, and to that end has worked with the Vietnam’s Women Publishing House to build the “Women’s Book: Gender and Development” series. This series critically addresses women’s history and gender inequities\, advancing a feminist agenda amidst Vietnam’s current socioeconomic development. She is also a translator\, co-translator\, and editor of many classical book translations in philosophy\, gender\, and cultural studies. She translated Between Past and Future by Hannah Arendt (Knowledge Publishing House\, 2020); History of Philosophy\, Volume 2 by Johannes Hirschberger (co-translation\, Knowledge Publishing House\, 2020); Antigone’s Claim by Judith Butler (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2021); A History of the Breast by Marilyn Yalom (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2022); and Key Concepts in Gender Studies by Jane Pilcher and Imelda Whelehan (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2022). She has also edited and annotated Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2022). She won the Best Translated Book Award in Vietnam in 2022 for Between Past and Future by Hannah Arendt. Regarding community services\, she is the co-founder of The Ladder\, a community learning space where academic knowledge is shared and made more accessible for everyone\, especially the youth in Vietnam.

Koreatown\, Los Angeles tells the story of an American ethnic community often equated with socioeconomic achievement and assimilation\, but whose experiences as racial minorities and immigrant outsiders illuminate key economic and cultural developments in the United States since 1965.”
