Qiao Collective is a grassroots media collective of diaspora Chinese writers, artists, and researchers devoted to challenging imperialism.
In May 2017, Yang Shuping took the podium before a packed auditorium. Sporting a black commencement gown streaked by the University of Maryland’s gold sash, Yang stood by university dean Wallace Loh as he tried to pick out Yang’s parents in the sea of seats before them. “You must feel very proud of your daughter. We certainly are proud of her,” Loh remarked as Yang’s mother stood, holding a bouquet of red roses to audience applause.
Unbeknown to them, this simple commencement ritual would spark international controversy. In keeping with the genre of the graduation ceremony, Yang’s speech mobilized tropes of struggle, hardship, triumph, and almost maudlin optimism. But filtered through her experience as a Chinese international student, Yang’s remarks presented a highly politicized affirmation of U.S.

On July 4, 1999, Liana Zhou was driving her son home from a piano lesson when she found East Third Street blocked by police. They were investigating the drive-by killing of Won-Joon Yoon, an Indiana University graduate student who was shot by a white supremacist gunman as he was leaving the Korean United Methodist Church.
“I’m still processing it how random it was,” says Zhou, now director of the Library and Special Collections at IU’s Kinsey Institute. “Anyone could have been the target even in beautiful, progressive Bloomington.”

YA adaptations from book to screen are nothing new for Hollywood, but Netflix’s
Shadow and Bone first piqued my interest when the main cast announcement was shared a little over a year ago. The reason why I was drawn in by an adaptation of books I had never heard of at the time was simple: The protagonist, Alina Starkov, would be changed from white to half-Asian.

“It has caught a lot of people by surprise.”
The surge in anti-Asian hate crimes in major U.S. cities has started an important and long-awaited conversation for this country. In an event hosted by the Ira A. Lipman Center for Journalism and Civil and Human Rights on April 14, Ellen Wu, associate professor of history and director of Asian American studies at Indiana University Bloomington, and Jiayang Fan, a staff writer for The New Yorker, examined the United States’ long-standing history of violence and discrimination against Asians.
