I will be sharing part of my recent research on JA literature as a part of this interdisciplinary session at American Studies Association Annual Meeting (ASA 2022), with literary studies scholars Josephine Park, Timothy Yu, and Jolie A. Sheffer. We are excited about speaking beyond our discipline with Hana Maruyama, creator of the podcast Campu, as well as beyond academia with Brandon Shimoda and Rob Buscher.
Brandon Shimoda's latest PEN literary award winning publication, Grave on the Wall (City Lights) is available here; Rob Buscher also has a podcast, Look Toward Heart Mountain, and his virtual project on Japanese American resettlement in the Greater Philadelphia area has launched here.
Part 1 on Friday, November 4th: Friday, November 4, 2022 at 4:00 PM - 5:45 PM in (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) will be a zoom session. We will each give short lightning talks on specific “artifacts of incarceration.” We welcome participants to come to the session with their own artifacts and aesthetic objects to share.

On November 5th, we will have Part 2 at 6:00 PM - 7:45 PM in (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada). This second session is devoted to exploring what these objects reveal when placed in conversation with each other. We want this to be highly participatory, as we are eager to share ideas and expand the conversation. We invite you to join us for the zoom session.
