Grief over the loss of friends and family to COVID-19, over shuttered businesses and jobs, over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others on the long list of Black lives lost, and over the erosion of our democratic system of governance that was never perfect, but never subject to such blatant corruption. And there is also hope. Hope sprung from witnessing young leaders taking up the torch for justice and equality, the sacrifice of those on the front lines in health care and community outreach efforts, and the conviction with which millions cast their vote for reason and change. The UCLA Asian American Studies Center also stepped up to meet important challenges of the moment. As the campus closed down at the end of Winter Quarter, we worked with the Fielding School of Public Health Professors May Wang and Gilbert Gee to create the COVID-19 Multilingual Resource Hub, a website offering over 1,000 life-saving informational resources in over 50 languages. We also began producing videos on mask-wearing, social distancing and handwashing, now in 7 languages and counting. We hope you will share these tools available at TranslateCovid.org Center Director Karen Umemoto to reach our most vulnerable communities. This is just one example of our commitment to serving moderating the opening night panel at the UCLA Asian American Studies our communities with the knowledge and resources available to us. We also co-published several 50th Anniversary Film Festival in policy reports and a special issue of AAPI Nexus on the impacts the coronavirus pandemic has had March. (Keanu Hakimian/UCLA AASC) on Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and communities of color. These pages of CrossCurrents highlight the extraordinary work of Center faculty, staff, students and alumni over this past year. Meanwhile, we prepare to bring AAPI voices into a new period of policy discourse in 2021 with community well-being at the forefront. With progress on all fronts, we look forward to the time when we can safely gather in person once again.

  • 'Perfect Fit': Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity
    ‘Perfect Fit’: Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity Culture in Fashion Television Helen Warner Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Film and Television Studies Submitted July 2010 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author's prior, written consent. Helen Warner P a g e | 2 ABSTRACT According to the head of the American Costume Designers‟ Guild, Deborah Nadoolman Landis, fashion is emphatically „not costume‟. However, if this is the case, how do we approach costume in a television show like Sex and the City (1998-2004), which we know (via press articles and various other extra-textual materials) to be comprised of designer clothes? Once onscreen, are the clothes in Sex and the City to be interpreted as „costume‟, rather than „fashion‟? To be sure, it is important to tease out precise definitions of key terms, but to position fashion as the antithesis of costume is reductive. Landis‟ claim is based on the assumption that the purpose of costume is to tell a story. She thereby neglects to acknowledge that the audience may read certain costumes as fashion - which exists in a framework of discourses that can be located beyond the text. This is particularly relevant with regard to contemporary US television which, according to press reports, has witnessed an emergence of „fashion programming‟ - fictional programming with a narrative focus on fashion.

  • Family Believes Phoenix Man Who Died After Being Punched in the Face Was Targeted Because He Was Asian Daniel Gonzalez Arizona Republic Published 7:00 A.M
    IMMIGRATION Family believes Phoenix man who died after being punched in the face was targeted because he was Asian Daniel Gonzalez Arizona Republic Published 7:00 a.m. MT Mar. 15, 2021 After retiring as an overseas telecommunications worker, Juanito Falcon loved to attend church, spend time with his wife, dote on his four grandsons and go for daily walks. On the morning of Feb. 16, Falcon, who is originally from the Philippines, was walking home when, according to witnesses, a man came up and punched the 74-year-old Falcon in the face. Falcon fell to the ground, striking his head on the pavement near 17th Avenue and Bethany Home Road, near the parking lot of the Christown Spectrum Mall in Phoenix, according to court records. The man who punched Falcon got in a silver Nissan Altima and drove off. Falcon fractured his skull and was rushed into surgery with bleeding on his brain, according to court records. He died two days later as a result of head injuries. On March 3, Phoenix police arrested Marcus Williams, 41, of Tempe, and charged him with second-degree murder in connection with the death. His family strongly believes Falcon was targeted because he was Asian. Sgt. Ann Justus, a Phoenix Police Department spokesperson, said the department does not have any evidence or information to indicate the homicide was motivated by bias. Even so, family members say a string of recent racially motivated attacks against elderly Asian Americans across the country tied to anti-Asian sentiment surrounding the coronavirus pandemic suggests to them that Falcon may also have been targeted because he was Asian.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nicholas Turton [email protected] 213-343-5264 Statement from Stop AAPI Hate: Chinese Student Expulsion
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nicholas Turton [email protected] 213-343-5264 Statement from Stop AAPI Hate: Chinese Student Expulsion Builds on Politically-Fueled Racism Against Asian Americans May 28, 2020 — In response to the Trump administration’s plan announced today to cancel the ​ ​ visas of thousands of Chinese graduate students and researchers in the United States, Stop ​ AAPI Hate, the leading aggregator of incidents against Asian Americans during the pandemic, ​ noted a disturbing connection between the plan and the president’s racist and xenophobic rhetoric around COVID-19. While the Trump administration claims to be punishing China over its treatment of Hong Kong, its plans to cancel student visas were reportedly under consideration before the Hong Kong law. ​ ​ In fact, the president and GOP leadership have been pushing anti-Asian sentiment during the pandemic, leading to a rising wave of hate against Asian Americans. Last month, the GOP sent ​ a memo to campaigns stating that China caused the virus by covering it up, Democrats are “soft on China,” and Republicans will push for sanctions on China for its role in spreading the virus. With the president putting money into campaign ads about China — amid conspiracy theories ​ about China and the virus — the plan to cancel the visas of Chinese graduate students appears not only connected to a concerted act of ongoing racial scapegoating, but an escalation of it. Just yesterday, Florida Governor Rick Scott asserted that “every citizen of Communist China by ​ ​ law has to spy on behalf of their country.” This type of rhetoric is a primary driver of hate directed at Asian Americans.

  • 800+ Reported Incidents of Anti-AAPI Hate in California Since COVID
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESS STATEMENT Wednesday, July 1, 2020 CONTACT Nicholas Turton 213.343.5264 [email protected] New Report: 800+ Reported Incidents of Anti-AAPI Hate in California Since COVID After Viral Torrance Video and President Trump’s “Kung Flu” Comments, Stop AAPI Hate Increases Calls on California to Take Clear Action July 1, 2020 — Asian Americans in California have self-reported 832 incidents of discrimination and harassment in the last three months, including 81 incidents of assault and 64 potential civil rights violations, according to Stop AAPI Hate, the leading aggregator of incidents against Asian ​ ​ Americans during the pandemic. Stop AAPI Hate released the findings today in a press briefing ​ ​ ​ where they were joined by CA Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi and Chair of Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus David Chiu to make specific and urgent policy demands of the CA state legislature. Discrimination and harassment of Asian Americans in California has drawn national attention recently after a series of videos in Torrance, California featured a woman using graphic racist language against Asian Americans. The videos have received millions of views, and reflect just a handful of the incidents reported to Stop AAPI Hate in California. Anti-Asian American harassment has also been further stoked by President Trump’s repeated use of the term “Kung Flu” in recent rallies, and as recently as last night, comments on Twitter scapegoating China for the United States’ devastating failure to control the coronavirus. “Racist demagoguery matched with anti-immigrant policies have always been used to deny Asian Americans full social and political rights,” said Cynthia Choi, Co-Executive Director of Chinese for Affirmative Action.

It is important to address these crimes and prevent them in the future, but the discourse on Asian Americans should not end there. Many non-Asian Americans are unaware or only superficially aware of the vast diversity that exists among us, along with the challenges posed by that diversity. Some have basic knowledge of the immigration and exclusion of Asian Americans, the internment of Japanese Americans which was upheld in Korematsu v.

  • Los Angeles County Report 3.20.20 - 10.28.20
    LOS ANGELES COUNTY REPORT 3.20.20 - 10.28.20 245 incidents of hate in Los Angeles County were reported to Stop AAPI Hate, the nation’s leading aggregator of COVID-19-related hate incidents against Asian Americans, from March 19 - October 28, 2020. The following patterns emerged from the data: ● A significant majority of incidents, 186 of the total or 76%, involved verbal harassment. Physical assaults constituted nearly 8%, civil rights violations, including workplace discrimination and refusal of service (barred from establishment, barred from transit), constituted 8% and online harassment constituted just under 3% of all incidents. ● Over 40% of reported hate incidents were committed at a business and 37% were committed in a public street, sidewalk, park or recreation area. ● The vast majority of individuals reporting to Stop AAPI Hate believed that they were discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity, with almost 90% citing race and 73% citing ethnicity as key factors. ● Women reported hate incidents at a rate more than twice that of men. ● Chinese Americans experienced the highest rates of hate (35%), followed by Korean Americans (22%) and Japanese Americans (12%). EXAMPLES OF DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT Verbal Harassment: ● I was at our local park with my mom, taking our daily walk. We both, of course, had our masks on. When we started walking up and down the flight of stairs we always do reps on, this lady that was on the opposite side of us with her husband, she kept making racist remarks to both me and my mom, for example, “Get off these steps, do you know about the Chinese disease", and she even referred to me as "Asian boy." ● I was walking with my Chinese American boyfriend in our neighborhood on a street we have never been to, wearing masks and holding a box of donuts.
