Titled “Origin Stories,” this podcast series aims to build transdisciplinary spaces in which to rethink educational practices in order to redress pervasive ideological and methodological biases in Japanese Studies. In this space scholars will discuss their personal background, intellectual formation, experiences in the field, and evolving perspective on Japanese Studies.
In this series, we hope to explore the following questions:
How can we employ a black feminist framework to unpack the historical forces contributing to the particular racial formations that have congealed within Japanese cultures since the late medieval period, and within postwar Japanese Studies in its deep debt to U.S. imperialism and white supremacy?
How have legacies of racism and anti-blackness in the academy hindered scholars of color in their work in Japanese Studies?
What new insights can be mined when marginalized members of academia gather to critically consider anti-racist curricula and policies as they reimagine the humanities?

In this episode, we welcome Hwaji Shin, Associate Professor in the Sociology Department at the University of San Francisco. Professor Shin’s research focuses on political sociology, with particular emphases on race and ethnicity, social movements, and migration. This episode was recorded in the aftermath of the disturbing act of violence in Atlanta on Tuesday, March 16th, 2021 as we continue to witness ongoing abuse towards Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American, and other communities of color. Prof. Shin is joined in conversation with JSAP contributors Sophie Hasuo, Rachel Willis, and Prof. Reginald Jackson. Our topics include: the March 2021 Atlanta spa shooting; Prof. Shin’s family background; anti-Korean discrimination; supportive and unsupportive teachers; traveling to South Korea as a Korean Japanese person; creating belonging; Bon Jovi; fetishization of Asian women; professional training; graduate school; surviving vs. thriving; Charles Tilly's scholarship; anti-racist practice; racialization and racial formation; labeling, especially for Asian and Asian Americans; and Prof. Shin's book project.
