Membership is open to individuals and organizations that share this interest.

Eissa, University of Chicago NCOLCTL Mission Statement NCOLCTL’s mission is to increase the number of Americans who choose to learn one or more of the less commonly taught lan- guages (LCTLs) as a means of enhancing cross-cultural communica- tion among citizens of the United States. NCOLCTL’s work focuses on the less commonly taught languages which are becoming increa- singly vital to the economic, social and political welfare of the United States. Furthermore, NCOLCTL seeks to improve the teaching and ix learning of these languages and to make them more generally availa- ble. We are the national voice for organizations and individuals who represent the teaching of these less commonly taught languages at both the collegiate and precollegiate level. NCOLCTL also promotes the use of technology, especially computers and the Internet, to ena- ble a new era in cross-cultural understanding, communication, and language education. NCOLCTL constitutes a national mechanism devoted to strengthening the less commonly taught language professions through enabling NCOLCTL members to work toward “shared solutions to common problems.” NCOLCTL principally directs its efforts toward building a national architecture for the LCTL field and in making the field’s resources easily accessible to language programs and individual learners around the United States. Activities of NCOLCTL Since its establishment in 1990, the NCOLCTL has carried out a variety of activities to raise awareness about the importance of less commonly taught languages. NCOLCTL achieves its goals through the following activities: • Annual Conference in conjunction with Delegate Assembly • Conducting research to promote and facilitate the learning and teaching of the LCTLs • Planning for and establishing a national policy for building the national capacity for the study of the LCTLs • Enhancing the capacity of existing LCTL national associa- tions, and organizing new ones • Establishing a system for networking and communication among member organizations, and facilitating their collective efforts to solve problems in the LCTL field • Developing language learning frameworks to guide teacher training, curriculum design, materials development, and seek ways to address problems of articulation among different le- vels of the American educational system • Working, on behalf of the members, with government agen- cies, foundations, and the general foreign language commun- x ity on policy issues and to seek funding to establish effective standards for the less commonly taught language field • Fostering national and international linkages within and across the various language areas • Online Teaching Courses designed primarily for new instruc- tors of LCTLs at postsecondary level and a useful resource for experienced instructors.

In both files I identified Mayor London Breed and her appointed Hunters Point Shipyard Citizens Advisory Committee as having engaged in basic freedom of speech in public comment testimony and basic requirements for meeting quorum requirements in government sponsored hearings. I was not able to convince the SOTF that, like others who attended the 07/17/19 HPSCAC Environmental & Reuse sub-commitee hearing announcing the UCSF/UCB "Independent" Review Radiological Testing Hunters Point Shipyard, I felt was selectively noticed. I do want to revisit your opinion in deciding whether SOTF had jurisdiction to cite the absence of a quorum at the announced 6pm starting time of the meeting as a public meeting violation. I am providing supporting audiovisual documentation that at the time the meeting began the three member required quorum was not present and District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton is seated in a place holder position for the absent member. This audiovisual stream is available on the HPSCAC live stream at https://sfocii.org/hunters-point-shipyard meetings.

  • Two Housing Campaigns by the Chinese Progressive Association
    THE INTERACTION BETWEEN SERVICE AND ORGANIZING: TWO HOUSING CAMPAIGNS BY THE CHINESE PROGRESSIVE ASSOCIATION Kaori Tsukada Stanford University Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity Undergraduate Honors Thesis May 26th, 2009 i Abstract The Chinese Progressive Association is a 501(c)(3) grassroots organization in San Francisco Chinatown with thirty-seven years of organizing history. This paper focuses on two housing campaigns; the International Hotel Struggle was a ten-year collaborative effort between Bay Area grassroots organizations to prevent the demolition of a residential hotel in the 1970s, and the Housing Justice Campaign of 1997 sought to force the Department of Building Inspections to enforce housing codes. The paper will examine the differences between the organizational structures, organizing methods, and how service came to conflict with, rather than support, organizing. ii Acknowledgements There are so many people I need to thank for being part of this process, which I’ve heard others call a journey, a mountain to climb, or simply “really, you’re doing that?” It has been all these things. First of all, thanks to Professor Michael Rosenfeld for agreeing to be my advisor even when I didn’t know what I was doing, and continuing to do so when neither of us could really tell what I was trying to write. On the same note, thanks to Professor Rebecca Sandefur for taking me in when I so desperately wanted to be part of her research, and then agreeing again when I asked her to be my second reader. I also need to thank Rand Quinn, who offered continuous advice and direction throughout this process.

Degree awarded September 2020 ii © 2020 Thomas Evan Fischer iii THESIS ABSTRACT Thomas Evan Fischer Master of Arts Asian Studies Program September 2020 Title: Sun Yat-sens: Contested Images of a Political Icon This thesis explores the afterlives of the Chinese revolutionary icon Sun Yat- sen and their relevant contexts, arguing that these contexts have given rise to different images of the same figure. It serves as a gallery in which these different images are put into conversation with one another, revealing new insights into each. Key to the discussion, Sun is first introduced in a short biography. Then, the thesis moves to his different afterlives: Sun and the fight for his posthumous approval in the Republic of China before 1949; Sun and his usage in Chinese Communist political rhetoric from 1956 through 2016; Sun and his changing image in the ROC-Taiwan, a change that reflects the contentious political environment of an increasingly bentu Taiwan; Sun and two of his images among the overseas Chinese of Hawaii and Penang.
