Regardless of Roe: How the Texas GOP Perfected the Anti-Abortion Playbook
02.16.22
Texas serves as a model for making abortion nearly unattainable, even while constitutionally protected. The fight for safe and legal abortion cannot end at SB8, nor can it end at keeping Roe intact in its current form. It has to go further.

Modeling a Minority: Summarizing the Asian American Experience in The Joy Luck Club and Crazy Rich Asians
02.16.22
I argue that it is not The Joy Luck Club that inaccurately represents Asian people, it is Hollywood that is guilty of their misrepresentation by limiting depictions of Asian people to this singular film for twenty-five years. The Joy Luck Club (dir. Wayne Wang, 1993) not only exposed Western audiences to the hardships endured by Chinese immigrant women […]
