Consortium director @inlandemperor has contributed to @PlacesJournal’s #UnfinishedAtlas, focusing on Won Kok Restaurant in L.A.’s Chinatown

[Places Journal @PlacesJournal]

"There’s something special about a place that becomes a hub for your community w/o being designed that way, coalescing through a slight rhyme of its flavors and textures with your own."

For "An Unfinished Atlas," @inlandemperor on Won Kok in LA Chinatown. https://t.co/vfStiFpAFL

I know it’s been non-stop baseball on my feed, but it’s all linked to my love of Los Angeles, which I write about w/ some frequency. Here’s a new long form piece in @PlacesJournal on the hidden history one of my favorite restaurants in L.A., Won Kok https://t.co/n5mj2IsHLV

Pausing from "pre-grieving" ⚾️ to share our latest ep of #TheArtofGrief. @mattearoach joins us for a candid conversation about losing their father unexpectedly while filming Jeopardy Masters, as we reflect together on the dissonant. simultaneous experiences of grief & joy 1/2

[Karen Tongson @inlandemperor]

Baseball is an "American" pastime w/ all the settler colonial baggage therein. Yet many of us brown folx (precisely bc of colonial entanglements) have powerful relationships to ⚾️ esp to the Dodgers. Two great essays on this: https://t.co/K18ccsL8wr | https://t.co/xlioNxfGMx 🧵

Since it is against university policy to post departmental statements on our website, we the undersigned faculty of @USC_GSS have instead written this open letter to President Folt & Provost Guzman on behalf of our students and shared principles. #FightOn✌️
