One of the things that AAAFSC really needs help with is taking on individual meetings with prospective hires during their on-campus interviews in the fall and spring.  Candidates often have questions about UMBC culture and climate for Asian and Asian American faculty, family leave, work-life balance; and members of AAAFSC offer honest and informed answers. 

These conversations are a chance to welcome prospective colleagues and offer some help at a stressful juncture in their professional lives, but we need volunteers to make them happen from across the colleges!!  

Meetings are one-on-one and usually take 20-30 minutes.  We do try for maximum flexibility in scheduling to minimize the burden on AAAFSC members.  Conversations with candidates are confidential and entirely separate from search committee deliberations.  Even if you can only make one of these meetings, that's a huge help.  And more volunteers = less work for everyone! 

Please let Tamara (tbhalla@umbc.edu) know if you're interested in helping with this. Anyone interested will be added to a google sheet and notified of requests! I'll also provide guidance on how to answer questions etc.

Many thanks!

Please consider running for a board position!

Dear Members of the Asian and Asian American Faculty and Staff Council:

 

Welcome back to the start of a new term! I am writing with important news about board leadership. As you all know, our chair, Theo Gonzalves left for a job at the Smithsonian about a year ago and our secretary, Susan Han has also left UMBC. We wish them the very best in their new endeavors and look forward to establishing new leadership for the council.

 

And so, I am writing with two very urgent requests:

 

First, please consider running for a board position. Are you interested in becoming the next chair or vice-chair for the board? Could you see yourself serving as secretary? I am happy to run as chair—but in that case we would need a vice-chair and secretary. The members at large for our group (Fan Yang, Amy Bhatt, and Shuyan Sun) are going to remain in their positions, so we will have their support through this transition. If you are interested but have any questions, please feel free to reach out!  We would LOVE to see the involvement on the board spread out through our colleges. It’s a great opportunity to think about how to recruit, retain, and promote Asian and Asian American faculty and staff on our campus as well as to think about programming for faculty, staff, and students.

 

Second, many departments are in the midst of hiring. We really need support from our members to meet with potential candidates. If you can help the board serve in this capacity please let me know (tbhalla@umbc.edu).  We already have requests that we can’t handle alone. It’s another great way to be involved and support AAAFSC even if you can’t serve on the board.

 

Many thanks for your attention to this email! Please feel free to nominate folks you think might be good for these positions as well!

 

Again, please feel free to reach out with any questions at tbhalla@umbc.edu.

 

My best wishes, for a great spring semester!

 

Tamara

High-Tech Housewives and H-4 “Dreamers”: South Asian Immigration in a Changing Landscape

Wednesday, December 5, 2018 · 4 PM - 5:30 PM
Library and Gallery, Albin O. Kuhn : Gallery
Amy Bhatt, Associate Professor, Gender, Women's, + Sexuality Studies; and Affiliate Associate Professor in the Language, Literacy, and Culture and Asian Studies Programs, UMBC
Tech companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft promote the free flow of data worldwide, while relying on foreign, temporary IT workers to build, deliver, and support their products. However, even as IT companies use technology and commerce to transcend national barriers, their transnational employees and their families face significant migration and visa constraints. In this talk based on her ethnographic research, Amy Bhatt shines a spotlight on Indian IT migrants and their struggles to navigate family obligations, career paths, citizenship, and belonging as they move between South Asia and the United States.

A book signing and reception to follow

Bio: Amy Bhatt is Associate Professor of Gender, Women’s, + Sexuality Studies, Affiliate Associate Professor in the Language, Literacy, and Culture Program and the Asian Studies Program at UMBC. Her research focuses on the effects of migration on gender and families, social reproduction, and South Asian community formation. In addition to her research on transnational migration, she is also interested in South Asian community formation and activism. She is the author of High-Tech Housewives: Indian IT Workers, Gendered Labor, and Transmigration (University of Washington Press, 2018), the co-author of the book Roots and Reflections: South Asians in the Pacific Northwest (University of Washington Press, 2013) with Nalini Iyer, the former oral historian for the South Asian Oral History Project, and the co-chair of the South Asian American Digital Archive’s Academic Council.

With this purpose, we are recruiting Asian immigrants who live or work in Baltimore City to participate in a focus group. The group will discuss the advantages and challenges for Asian immigrants in the city and how the local government has or could potentially intervene in those factors. The focus group will happen on Wednesday, September 20, 6:00–7:30pm in the Southeast Anchor branch of the Enoch Pratt Library. Each participant will receive a compensation of $40. If you would like to participate, please contact Dr. Felipe Filomeno through e-mail (filomeno@umbc.edu) or telephone (410-300-7034). We appreciate your opinion and look forward to hearing from you.

Hmong Americans’ historically asymmetrical relationship with the United States government and their contemporary experiences as a marginalized ethnic group have much in common with the experiences of other Asian Americans. At the same time, Hmong relationships with their “homeland” countries, with the U.S. racial state, and with other racial and ethnic groups in American society and elsewhere are unique and complex. Most publications—both scholarly and popular sources on the Hmong, as well as those on Hmong in Asia and Hmong in the diaspora—are still written primarily from the perspective of non-Hmong persons. Our concern about the state and progress of the field is that Hmong’s voices, perspectives, and lived experiences are often distorted or excluded altogether. Equally problematic are analyses that divorce Hmongs’ social conditions from their historical and political contexts.
