This program explores how creative mediums provide context for history beyond dates, and names, and figures.Partnering with Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Chapman University, this series will explore how photographs and film, specifically candid or vernacular documentation, captures history, the emotion of a moment before devastation, in the midst of tragedy and triumph, and in the common day-to-day of days long forgotten. Supported by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program, a state-funded grant project of the California State Library, this series is designed to be a companion to the project, Through Internees Eyes: Japanese American Incarceration Before and After.Guests: Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Julia HuynhHosts: Jon-Barrett IngelsProduced by: Past Forward

There's little about Dr. Margaret “Mom” Chung's story that you can call ordinary. From her status as the first known Chinese American woman doctor, to her secret mission to recruit pilots for the American Volunteer Group in World War II, to the ways she intentionally transgressed and presented both masculinity and femininity in her life in order to gain access and acceptance, to the thousands of soldiers and celebrities who gathered at her home, each new chapter in her life adds a fascinating dimension to her. In this episode of the podcast, part of our series on LGBTQ+ stories in aerospace, Dr. Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, Professor of Asian American Studies and Associate Dean of the UC Irvine School of Humanities, sheds some light on this forgotten figure in aviation figure. *Note from Sean* - The sound for this episode is a bit low quality due to a recording snafu on my part. Our guest sounds great, but I sound like I'm using a tin can for a microphone! The issue has been resolved for future episodes. Sorry about that! Full shownotes at museumofflight.org/podcast

This week we interview Gwendolyn Mink and Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, co-authors of Patsy Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress, published by New York University Press in May 2022. This […]

Marking the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, Judy Wu, professor of Asian American studies, director of the Humanities Center, and historian who recently co-authored a comprehensive biography of Title IX pioneer, Patsy Mink, titled Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress. Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, professor of Asian American studies and director of UCI's Humanities Center, is a co-author on the first-ever biography on the powerhouse lawmaker and major author of Title IX, Patsy Takemoto Mink. Wu collaborated with Mink's daughter, political scientist Gwendolyn “Wendy” Mink on the book, Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress. “Lots of people associate Title IX with equality in collegiate sports, but it's also about admissions, scholarships, housing and employment. It established the basic legal principle of gender equity and completely revolutionized education in America,” says Wu. MORE: getthefunkoutshow.kuci.org

On June 23, 2022, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX. In this episode of the UCI Podcast, Cara Capuano talks to the co-authors of the first biography of longtime Congresswoman and Title IX pioneer Patsy Mink - UCI professor Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Gwendolyn “Wendy” Mink, Patsy's daughter and only child. They discuss the book's unique structure, the inspiration for Title IX, the challenges to get it passed into law, and what's next for the landmark legislation.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 26! Patsy Mink was an Asian Pacific American hero of so many causes. Although she is best known for her work and championing of Title IX, she also supported environmental issues, women's rights, immigrant rights, and more. In today's mid-week interview, we had the pleasure of talking to Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Wendy Mink, the co-authors of the amazing biography Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress. It was enlightening to be able to hear some first-hand stories from Wendy who is Patsy Mink's daughter. To find copies of this incredible biography, you can go to any online book seller or get it from the publisher NYU Press.

In Patsy Mink's first term in Congress in 1965, she was one of only 11 women serving in the US House of Representatives, and she was the first woman of color to ever serve in Congress. Mink was no stranger to firsts, being the first Japanese-American woman licensed to practice law in Hawaii, after being one of only two women in her graduating class at the University of Chicago Law School. She would later be the first Asian American to run for President.  Mink leaned on her own experiences of sexism and racism in writing and supporting legislation to help women, especially women of color and women in poverty. MInk co-authored and supported the landmark Title IX Amendment of the Higher Education Act,  that stated that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” After Mink's death in 2002, Title IX was renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act. Joining me to help us learn about Patsy Mink are Dr. Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Irvine, and Patsy Mink's daughter, Dr. Gwendolyn (Wendy) Mink, former Professor of Politics at the University of California, Santa Cruz and former Professor of Women and Gender Studies at Smith College. Drs. Wu and Mink have co-authored a new book, Fierce and Fearless: Patsy Takemoto Mink, First Woman of Color in Congress.  Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.

Kelly Pollock has always been the kind of person who asks questions — lots of questions — to anyone who will listen and answer. With a BA in Religious Studies from Northwestern University and an MA in Religious Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara (where she wrote a thesis on feminist witches), she has now turned my questioning to history where she digs deep into stories that aren't getting enough attention. By day Kelly is the Dean of Students in the Division of the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago, where she has worked since 2004. She lives on the south side of Chicago with her husband, the two best kids in the world, and two senior cats.  Kelly joined me today to talk about “All That She Carried” by Tiya Miles, a book whose language and terminology changed my understanding of how I have always learned about enslaved persons. We also discussed why such a humble object is so profoundly affecting, and how, ultimately, this is a story of hope.       Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Do you have a book you want to tell me about?

In this episode, co-editors Robin Evans-Agnew, Bob Strack and authors Phuc To, Cevadne Lee, and Judy Tzu-Chun Wu discuss anti-Asian racism occurring in communities in California prior to and during the COVID19 pandemic and their innovative response to these traumatic threats through a student project to document and archive community level experiences through Photovoice. In the discussion, they also get insights into the profound ways the student-participants engaged in, and were affected by the project. This episode references their article titled “Through our Eyes, Hear our Stories: A virtual photovoice project to document and archive Asian American and Pacific Islander community experiences during COVID-19” by Phuc Duy Nhu To, MA, Julia Huynh, MA, Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, PhD, Thuy Vo Dang, PhD, MA, Cevadne Lee, MPH, and Sora Park Tanjasiri, DrPh, MPH.
