@aadeleon Thanks Adrian!! This was a fun piece to write!

[Vivian Yan-Gonzalez @vyangonzalez]

Grateful to @CU_Wilkinson, the Asian American Studies program, the Dept of Political Science, and Office of DEI for supporting the event!

[Vivian Yan-Gonzalez @vyangonzalez]

Thanks to @ChristineChenDC @APIAVote for coming out to @ChapmanU on #NationalVoterRegistrationDay to talk about AAPI communities and the election! It was a full house!

@TheGNapp Huge congrats!!! Excited to get my copy!

In the history of the American republic, our greatest leaders stepped aside when that would best serve the public interest. Joe Biden’s decision is in that venerable historic tradition. This is an act of statesmanship and a strong shot in the arm for our democracy. @POTUS

Excited to moderate this event tomorrow featuring the first cohort of Asian American Studies minors at @ChapmanU @CU_Wilkinson !

This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking.

Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women.

CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s important for folks to hear all of her remarks. Please take the time & consider sharing.

@TakeoRiveraPhD Congrats!!

@helenjinkim @AAAStudies Congratulations!! So well deserved!

Survivors of the Monterey Park shooting marked a year since a gunman attacked their beloved ballroom dance studio with the most fitting remembrance they could think of: a joyous dance party.

Read this cool feature on me and my colleague Alex Bay! Both of us are historians at @CU_Wilkinson @ChapmanU and received an #NEHgrant this cycle. 😎😎 (Fun fact: we also both got our degrees at @StanfordHistory!)

This ⬇️⬇️ Asian American identity is complicated, no matter what your politics. Liberals trying to shame Haley for being "inauthentic" are playing into conservative hands.

For what it’s worth, the overwhelming majority of people I’ve seen making fun of ‘Nimrata’ are resistance liberals. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone but let’s not pretend it’s just Trump.

@evynelevyn Thanks Evyn! I hope you and your family are doing well!

[Vivian Yan-Gonzalez @vyangonzalez]

Excited, honored, & a little in disbelief to get an NEH fellowship for my work on the history of Chinese and Japanese Am conservatives and Republicans! Deeply, incredibly grateful to all who have supported me in this journey. #NEHgrant

@old_doggy Thanks Hao! Guess I'll see you in the Bay area again soon for more research!

@gerry_cadava Thanks Gerry! Hope all is well with you!

Ramaswamy's wife asked voters what they're hearing about why they're not supporting Vivek. One response: "I couldn’t even remember who said it to me, but they mentioned his dark skin and they think he’s Muslim."

Another voter asks her: "How long have you been in the United States, were you born here?" https://t.co/rSo58vZn3v by @NnamEgwuon

I stood on floor of House of Representatives swearing the oath of office, and I looked up at my mom looking back down. I still don’t know fully what it means to be Korean American, but I know who I am, and I know I am proud of both my Korean heritage and being American.END

So grateful to the prize committee, the editors at amerasia journal @UCLAAASCPress, and all the folks who helped me puzzle my way through this fascinating historical figure!
