Thoughts on Introduction © 2010 Sharon S. Lee (UN)SEEN AND (UN)HEARD: THE STRUGGLE FOR ASIAN AMERICAN "MINORITY" RECOGNITION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, 1968-1997 BY SHARON S. LEE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Yoon K. Pak, Chair Professor James D. Anderson Assistant Professor Timothy R. Cain Professor Keith Osajima, University of Redlands ABSTRACT Are Asian American college students "minorities"? Using a measure of statistical parity of a student body compared to a state's demographics, Asian Americans have often been excluded from minority student status because they are "overrepresented." As a result, universities overlook their need for culturally and racially relevant curricula and support services. Unable to argue that they are underrepresented and depicted as the "model minority," Asian American students have struggled to have their educational needs seen and heard. This dissertation examines the historical development of academic and support services for Asian American students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) from 1968 to 1997. UIUC is home to the largest Asian American Studies program and Asian American cultural center in the Midwest, products of years of activism by Asian American students who challenged university discourses that they were not minorities. By investigating archival and oral evidence, the complex and nuanced experiences of Asian American students are revealed, beyond misperceptions of their seamless integration in predominantly white universities and beyond model minority stereotypes. This study of Asian American students offers a broader concept of "minority status" that is currently limited by a statistical focus and a black/ white racial lens. ii This conference provides a place where Asian Pacific American students can empower themselves and others to rip off the blindfolds that have traditionally made Asian Pacific Americans invisible to others, that we can see ourselves and others not through the lens of a Western education, but through the lens of a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional model of society. This conference provides a place where we as Asian Pacific American students can rip the cotton from our ears and others' ears, so our screams, our protests, our voices of reason and passion, the voices of our community, our mothers, our fathers and children, can be heard…. By making our issues and concerns SEEN and HEARD, we begin to change the powers that be into empowerment within our own communities. —Taken from the Unseen Unheard conference program, an annual Asian American student activism conference at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, December 1999 To all Asian American students who struggle to be seen and heard iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Undertaking a doctorate degree is no easy task, and I am first and foremost grateful to my dissertation committee for providing me with so much support. Having experienced a difficult graduate experience at the Master's level, I had considerable reservations about returning to graduate school, but the support I have found at Illinois has truly made the experience a pleasure. Thank you to Yoon K. Pak, James Anderson, Timothy Cain, and Keith Osajima for your encouragement and assurance that this project was not only important but that I had the skills and insights to carry it through completion. My committee, along with educational historians Christopher Span (UIUC), Marybeth Gasman (University of Pennsylvania), and Eileen Tamura (University of Hawaii) encouraged and cared for me as a person—not just a faceless graduate student, and for this, I will always be grateful. My adviser Yoon Pak has been a constant source of support, good humor, and wisdom. Thank you for your friendship over the years and for serving as a wonderful role model in balancing work and home life. Thank you to your family—your husband Matthew Walch and your children Hana and Ronin.

Thank you to my family: my parents Chinwook Lee and Aeja Sohn Lee who taught me not to be daunted by the hard work needed to accomplish any important task. To my siblings Helen Han and Dan Lee, for years of comic relief and silliness—I hope that you read this study, even though you both admitted you could not imagine reading 350 pages, let along writing something that long! Finally, I am thankful to my best friend and husband James Basney, for the countless ways you supported me as I completed my graduate program and for your enduring friendship. And thank you to my feline "kids": to my beloved Ruby (1989-2009) and to Kimmy for your companionship. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ACRONYMS ...................................................................................................................x SELECT TIMELINE OF ASIAN AMERICAN STUDENT ACTIVISM AT UIUC................... xi CHAPTER ONE THE STRUGGLE FOR ASIAN AMERICAN "MINORITY" STATUS .........................................................................................................................................1 Figures of Asian American Students as Model Minorities and Foreigners.........................4 Creating and Contesting Asian American Racial and "Minority" Categories.....................7 Beyond Black and White ...................................................................................................11

Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Caleb Swift Carter 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Place, Tradition and the Gods: Mt. Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries by Caleb Swift Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor William M. Bodiford, Chair This dissertation considers two intersecting aspects of premodern Japanese religions: the development of mountain-based religious systems and the formation of numinous sites. The first aspect focuses in particular on the historical emergence of a mountain religious school in Japan known as Shugendō. While previous scholarship often categorizes Shugendō as a form of folk religion, this designation tends to situate the school in overly broad terms that neglect its historical and regional stages of formation. In contrast, this project examines Shugendō through the investigation of a single site. Through a close reading of textual, epigraphical, and visual sources from Mt. Togakushi (in present-day Nagano Ken), I trace the development of Shugendō and other religious trends from roughly the thirteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. This study further differs from previous research insofar as it analyzes Shugendō as a concrete system of practices, doctrines, members, institutions, and identities.

    Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tsung-Hsin Lee, M.A. Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Hannah Kosstrin, Advisor Harmony Bench Danielle Fosler-Lussier Morgan Liu Copyrighted by Tsung-Hsin Lee 2020 2 Abstract This dissertation “Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980” examines the transnational history of American modern dance between the United States and Taiwan during the Cold War era. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Carmen De Lavallade-Alvin Ailey, José Limón, Paul Taylor, Martha Graham, and Alwin Nikolais dance companies toured to Taiwan under the auspices of the U.S. State Department. At the same time, Chinese American choreographers Al Chungliang Huang and Yen Lu Wong also visited Taiwan, teaching and presenting American modern dance. These visits served as diplomatic gestures between the members of the so-called Free World led by the U.S. Taiwanese audiences perceived American dance modernity through mixed interpretations under the Cold War rhetoric of freedom that the U.S. sold and disseminated through dance diplomacy. I explore the heterogeneous shaping forces from multiple engaging individuals and institutions that assemble this diplomatic history of dance, resulting in outcomes influencing dance histories of the U.S. and Taiwan for different ends. I argue that Taiwanese audiences interpreted American dance modernity as a means of embodiment to advocate for freedom and social change.

FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2013 ABSTRACT FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Kimberly M. Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still influential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.

PREEMPTION, PATCHWORK IMMIGRATION LAWS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR BROWN SUNDOWN TOWNS Maria Marulanda* The raging debate about comprehensive immigration reform is ripe ground to overhaul federal exclusivity in the immigration context and move toward a cooperative federal and state-local model. The proliferation of immigration-related ordinances at the state and local level reflects “lawful” attempts to enforce immigration law to conserve limited resources for citizens and legal residents. Although the federal immigration statutes contemplate state and local involvement, the broad federal preemption model used to analyze immigration laws displaces many state-local ordinances, resulting in frustration at the inability to enforce the community’s resolve that is manifested through violence against Latino immigrants. Broad federal preemption analyses alter the traditional scope of the states’ police powers, and set the stage for “brown sundown towns”— where Latinos are not welcomed.
