OAPIA Bi-Weekly Newsletter News Updates from the DC Mayor's Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs A Message from the Director Dear Community Members, I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. It seemed like yesterday when we welcomed in the new year, and now we are marking the end of the 2013 Fiscal Year. The coming fall will present the Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs (OAPIA) with new opportunities to assist the District of Columbia community. OAPIA has continually championed and worked with local AAPI community leaders and residents to find innovative solutions for our District's residents. We are delighted for the DC Health Link Asian American and Pacific Islander Leadership Summit to be held on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 at One Judiciary Square, 441 4th St NW, Room 1114S, Washington, DC 20001. This summit will aim to help the AAPI community in finding and accessing resources relating to health and human services. Additionally, the summit will raise awareness about patient rights and responsibilities, and experts from DC Health Link will provide important information on how to shop for affordable health insurance through the new health care insurance marketplace. I would also like to encourage everyone to Facebook "Like" us to receive the latest updates regarding the AAPI community in DC through our Facebook fanpage. -

PLAYING THE GAMES: DIASPORIC IDENTITY, ATHLETIC ENTREPRENEURIALISM, AND ELODIE LI YUK LO’S JOURNEY TO THE OLYMPICS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES AUGUST 2018 By Yuka Jokura Polovina Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Colwill, Chairperson Mari Yoshihara Kathleen Sands Yuka Nakamura Craig Howes Keywords: Elodie Li Yuk Lo, Olympics, Beach Volleyball, Diasporic Athletes, Life Writing, Athletic Entrepreneurialism Acknowledgements Many have supported my personal and intellectual paths that have led to the making of this dissertation. I am deeply grateful to Elizabeth Colwill who not only agreed to chair this complex and unconventional project but stood as my creative and intellectual lighthouse along the way. She opened my eyes to a world of writers and scholars who pushed the bounds of convention, inspiring me to consider possibilities within my own work. Her guidance and feedback through numerous drafts have helped me realize my ambitious vision for this dissertation. More, she has deepened this work in ways I had not imagined possible and has gifted me with a project I will forever cherish. I could not have asked for a better chair or mentor through this academic journey. I am also grateful for my committee members who have supported this dissertation and my intellectual growth over the years. Mari Yoshihara played an instrumental role in helping me understand the American Studies discipline and more broadly the humanities, as I first came to this department with a vastly different set of skills and knowledge. -
The Guide to Chinatown
THE GUIDE TO CHINATOWN INTRODUCTION CREDIT: ANDREW HUYNH CREDIT: verything we love about the game Since I began filming the sport over five years ago, I’ve fallen for the gritty game and its fluid, mercurial spirit—despite is what makes the 9-Man Guide to the fact that it made documentary production infinitely more Chinatown next to impossible to difficult. The 9-Man Guide to Chinatown is the result of an E exhaustive survey of players but will always be a work-in- produce. The sport is disorienting, dynamic progress subject to the mutability of the community and an ever-changing definition of Chinatown. From grimy parking and chaotic. As unpredictable as the offense lots and dollar dumplings to soap-less bathrooms and air- conditioned suburban eateries, here are the places you’ll find is, so are the movements and whims of the nine-man athletes—right now, at least. These pit stops may not make your local Zagat guide, but they are homes away from players. But we’ve tried our best to lock them home for this community. We hope you’ll pack your patience down so that neophytes can gain access to and curiosity and explore them. We also hope you’ll learn to love the players, culture and sport as much as we do. the community and see nine-man in person. —Ursula Liang Typically the season runs Memorial Day to Director Labor Day and is punctuated by an end-of- “9-Man” season tournament (go to nacivt.com) that rotates between the major nine-man cities.
