| Video Discription | Asian Americans have been positioned in an increasingly multiracial United States. A panel of distinguished Cal alums will talk about how, as Asian Americans, they have responded to the challenging issues of our times in health, immigration, and politics. Speakers: Thu Quach Ph.D. ’09 Chief Deputy of Administration, Asian Health Services Thu Quach serves as chief deputy of administration at Asian Health Services, a federally qualified health center in Oakland serving 50,000 patients in English and 14 Asian languages. Her research, service, and advocacy in public health and health care for over two decades have been grounded in her own lived experience as a refugee from Vietnam and the struggles her family faced in the healthcare system. As an epidemiologist, Quach is leading the organization in addressing racial disparities amid COVID-19, including starting up a culturally and linguistically competent community testing and contact tracing site targeting AAPIs. Annie Fukushima Ph.D. ’12 Assistant Professor, Ethnic Studies, University of Utah Fukushima is an assistant professor in ethnic studies at the University of Utah. She is the author of Migrant Crossings: Witnessing Human Trafficking in the U.S. (Stanford University Press), which received the American Sociological Association’s Section on Asia and Asian America book award. Fukushima is the project lead and co-principal investigator for “Visualizing Gender-Based Violence,” a research project of the University of Utah’s Gender-Based Violence Consortium. Susan Lee J.D. ’95 Deputy Mayor of Public Safety, City of Chicago Lee serves as deputy mayor of public safety for the City of Chicago, overseeing police, fire, emergency management, police accountability, and citywide violence reduction strategy. Before her role under Mayor Lori Lightfoot, she worked as a social justice advocate in multiple cities on such issues as immigrant rights, racial equity, community safety, violence reduction, and police reform. Lee is the co-author of the 2007 “A Call to Action,” a blueprint for violence reduction for Los Angeles. The plan has led to significant reductions in violence and improved police-community relations since its implementation 13 years ago. |
