Through the act of speaking out, we defy the stereotype of being silent, complacent, and conforming to the model minority myth. Each of us has a unique upbringing with the challenge of balancing two different cultures. Despite our differences, we are all united in our desire for self-expression on our own terms. By embracing both cultures, we redefine what it means to be Asian American. To be an Asian American voice in the podcasting space requires courage and tapping into the power of our voices.

Welcome to the KOOLIKEDAT Podcast. My name is Koo Chung. Some of you might remember me as a singer-songwriter back in the day, but when I stopped doing music, it felt like I’d lost my identity altogether. Over time, I realized that people are so much more than what they do, and I’m grateful for the time I spent away from music because it revealed to me who I really was apart from it. On this podcast, I talk about things and ideas I LIKE, and if I’m lucky - WITH the actual people behind them. Some might say: ‘never meet your heroes’, but my quest is to do the exact opposite of that. I want to talk to as MANY people I'm a fan of as possible, to get to know them beyond their craft, and to hear about what makes them tick, and what makes them so KOOLIKEDAT.

a LATTO thought evaluates contemporary misperceptions about mixed raceness through the lenses of history, science studies, and personal perspectives in a way that is pro-Black, antiracist, and self-critical. The intent is to arm individuals with the clarity of how systems of law and power shape our feelings about who — not ‘what’ — we as individuals are so that we can begin to reshape the societies in which we collectively live. After all, we’re all already mixed. We’re simply taught to not see it that way.

Defining Our Roots/Routes: Asian Americans in Higher Education

4 Episodes

|

Avg Length 37mins

|

Latest Episode 2 years ago

Defining Our Roots/Routes: Asian American in Higher Education aims to amplify the erased voices of Asian American students and faculty in higher education as a form of resistance and consciousness-raising by exploring interrelated themes—histories and legacies of Asian America, pan-Asian American identity, and Asian American transnationalism & diaspora. Join us for insights into the lived experiences of Asian American students and scholars in higher education spaces and learn what may be at stake for the larger Asian American community in the wake of Supreme Court cases and recent anti-Asian hate incidents.

Extended Podcast Info:

In late October 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States deliberated the Students for Fair Admissions v. President & Fellows of Harvard College as well as Students for Fair Admissions v. University of Northern Carolina cases, challenging race-conscious admissions practices and potentially developing larger ramifications for the current Affirmative Action policies in the United States.

Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) claims race-conscious admissions practices are racially discriminatory because Black and Latinx students are valued higher at the expense of Asian Americans. They further argue Asian Americans should be “admitted at a higher rate” as they are “substantially stronger” than their non-Asian counterparts. In doing so, the SFFA and conservative Asian American groups, such as the Asian American Legal Foundation (AALF), not only adopt the model minority myth to further pit Asian American students against Black and Latinx students but also calls into question what Asian American means and what are at stake for Asian America in the context of these Supreme Court cases.

How do Asian Americans define our roots and our routes going forward? By analyzing the histories, stories, and lived experiences of Asian American racial formation and transnational processes in relation to US policies and practices, we can better map the multiple ways Asian Americans navigated the routes they took to articulate and formulate their identities. This framework challenges the limited boundaries that harmful stereotypes and tropes such as the model minority myth produce and reveals how such stereotypes incite violence and erasure toward the Asian diaspora.

Join us as “Defining Our Roots/Routes” explores the lived experiences of Asian American students and scholars in higher education spaces and considers what is at stake for the larger Asian American community in the wake of the Supreme Court cases and anti-Asian hate incidents.
