This episode is an audio version of a video interview conducted by the journal’s Editor in Chief, Dr Audiey Kao, with Dr Vivian Shaw, a College Fellow at the Department of Sociology at Harvard University, and Susanna Park, a PhD candidate at Oregon State University College of Public Health and Human Sciences. They joined us to discuss the resurgence of anti-Asian racism and xenophobia during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Knitting, gin, books and a lucky scarf. This week's show is dedicated to Liz Marley aka @greensideknits, dear friend and listener of the podcast. An epic knitter and all round awesome, kind and witty person who will be very sadly missed. There's a general update to get us started, with the tale of Liz's Lucky scarf and how it continues to bring me good luck years later. The podcast will be on the move again in summer to Surrey. Knitting-wise, I've been working on my #DeliciousLIttleJoysKAL project which still isn't finished. After a false start where I re-learned the lesson that one is never too old for a lifeline, I'm focusing on getting at least one row a day in on that project. I'm also working on a modular blanket project using West Yorkshire Spinners ColourLab DK to make a Nintendo themed blanket. Gin-wise, there's a recipe for a refreshing sloe gin fizz. On the book reviews, sticking to the Fantasy/Steampunk angle we have a review of the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carrier, Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw and The Stranger Times by CK McDonnell.

Hate crimes against Asians in the United States more than doubled from 2019 to 2020. Last month, in one of the most conspicuous acts of violence against Asians in recent history, six Asian American women were shot dead in Georgia. Racism against people of Asian descent is not a new problem, but it has been exacerbated of late by politicians using racist rhetoric to describe the coronavirus. Asians in America are now facing a dual pandemic: a heightened fear of racist abuse, from verbal slurs to physical assault, on top of all the anxiety of living through COVID-19. In this episode, Vivian Shaw and Susanna Park of the AAPI COVID-19 project talk about the deep roots of anti-Asian bias, as well as their research into how the pandemic is affecting the lives of Asians in the U.S.

Episode Notes On this episode, SunAh is joined by Dr. Vivian Shaw and Christina Ong of the AAPI COVID-19 Project. The AAPI COVID-19 project focuses on uncovering the multiple layers of harm — the virus itself and the intensification of racism and xenophobia that Asian, Asian Americans, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders have endured in its wake. Vivian and Christina share some of the project's preliminary findings and also provide historical context for the past year's rising anti-Asian hate.

Today, a discussion of Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and COVID-19 with Vivian Shaw and Susanna Park. Vivian Shaw (Lead Researcher, Co-Principal Investigator) is a researcher, and educator, from New York. She earned her PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin and is currently a College Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Harvard University. She teaches on Asian American culture and society, environmental inequality, social movements, and qualitative methods. She is completing a book about how the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster laid the political groundwork for the emergence of anti-discrimination social movement networks. Susanna Park is a PhD candidate in global health at Oregon State University. She is a mixed-methods researcher interested in areas of global health policy, ethics, disparities, and community-based research. Outside of academia, she is co-founder/host of a global health science communication podcast, Global Caveat, and has written about traveling while Asian. You can find out more about her involvements on her website.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Jin (UIC) and Dr. Vivian Shaw (Harvard) react to the sharp increase in acts of discrimination, racism, and violence targeting Asian communities in North America as a result of COVID-19. Dr. Jin places this increase into the longer history of Anti-Asian xenophobia and violence in North America, while Dr. Shaw documents how Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities are responding to both COVID-19 and to recent acts of racism.

Amanda and Claire discuss Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw, featuring music by Lyss Emerson.

Content: In this episode, we talk with novelist about her debut novel, A Memory Called Empire.  Cast Hosted by Dean Karpowicz with Sam Stienke and Molly Krasel. About Arkady Martine Arkady Martine is a speculative fiction writer and, as Dr. AnnaLinden Weller, a historian of the Byzantine Empire and a city planner. She is currently a policy advisor for the New Mexico Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department, where she works on climate change mitigation, energy grid modernization, and resiliency planning. Under both her names she writes about border politics, rhetoric, propaganda, and the edges of the world. Arkady grew up in New York City and, after some time in Turkey, Canada, Sweden, and Baltimore, lives in Santa Fe with her wife, the author Vivian Shaw.

Amanda and Jenn discuss funny book club picks, audiobooks in translation, historical fiction, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Audible, Kingsbane by Claire Legrand and Birthday by Meredith Russo. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher.   Questions 1. Hey Amanda and Jenn!! Long time listener first time requester! Looking for a book to recommend for my book club. Traditionally we just draw from a book jar of other recommendations that we’ve done and let the Fates decide but for the last four months we’ve had a member pick three books and we picked from there. Well we’ve read a lot of ‘serious’ books in that time which included Circe, The Outsiders, and Big Red Tequila (which while not as heavy as the others still was a crime thriller so the humor wasn’t all that heavy). The current pick is All the Light We Cannot See which sounds great but again will be heavy and serious. So I think we’re going to need a bit of a humor break. We have read our fair share of that such as Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and How to Make White People laugh so books in that vein will work. Most of us do ‘book on a budget’ though so backlists are great as well. It is a bit time sensitive as I will need a suggestion by the beginning of June so thanks for any advice you can give! -Paige   2. I love your podcast and so appreciated (and utilized!) the recommendations you gave me a few months ago when I traveled to France. I am in a bit of a reading rut right now and would love some help. Lately I have mostly just been reading romance, fantasy, or young adult and want to mix it up but don’t know where to begin. I love anti-heroes, fast-moving plots, realistic relationships between characters, and a healthy smattering of jokes. I try very hard to only read books by women and/or people of color, so if you could recommend something that sticks to that, it would be deeply appreciated. Thank you! -Hillary   3. I’m a grad student in experimental psychology, so I read a lot of scientific papers and books. When I relax, I love to read light and easy YA Fiction, but I also love books that have some depth to them. I am one of those people who never got over Harry Potter, since it is easy for me to read but there are always new little details to discover. I also read and enjoyed The Hunger Games, Divergent, the Uglies series, etc., but none of them quite stood up to Harry Potter for me. However, I’ve recently found the Books of Babel series by Josiah Bancroft and absolutely fell in love with them. I have also been voraciously reading everything by Maureen Johnson (thanks to one of your recommendations). While I’m loving the Maureen Johnson stuff, I prefer things like the Books of Babel that have a little more sociological and psychological depth to them. I also love books like 1984 and Invisible Man (the one by Ralph Ellison), but I don’t have the mental energy to devote to books that are too heavy. For me, Josiah Bancroft hit the perfect balance of ease and depth. What would you recommend? Thank you! -Sephra   4. Hi there! I’ll be travelling to Vienna and Stockholm for the first time in July to visit some friends. I’ve never been, so I’m hoping you could recommend some books set in these cities that have a strong sense of place, where the city itself is a character. I’m open to most genres except horror (I’m a scaredy cat of the highest order) and am generally a reluctant YA reader; I also haven’t been able to muster up any interest in Stieg Larsson’s books but if you tell me they fit the bill, I will be game to give it a go. Thank you so much in advance! -Rae   5. After going through several life changes I am finding myself questioning everyone I used to be so sure of. Religion, politics, family and relationships… I’m changing my mind and beliefs on all of them. This is very unsettling to say the least! Do you have any recommendations for me? Perhaps memoirs of people who have walked through this particularly confusing path? (No fiction, please.) -Valerie   6. Hi! I’m an English teacher and I read so much with my kids at school, that I’ve lost touch with reading for fun recently, instead numbing my brain with Netflix as soon as I get home. I’d love to find a book or two that gets me excited again. A few of my favorite books are The Phantom Tollbooth, The Little Prince, Don Quixote, and The Magic Mountain. I also love the dark, sardonic wit of Dorothy Parker. I’m currently enjoying The Lonesome Bodybuilder. (I have a very detailed GoodReads profile, so that might give some clues, too…) I’d prefer adult fiction or middle grade. I’m not anti-YA, but I spend enough time with angst-riddled teens at work, that I’d like something different at home. Thanks!! -Kirsten   7. Hi Ladies! Books in translation is a long-standing hole in my reading. I was hoping for some recommendations for good audiobooks in translation. I read all over the place and don’t have a specific genre in mind. I love genre fiction and nonfiction: some recent favorite listens are Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, Stiff by Mary Roach, Circe by Madeline Miller, and Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw. A queer angle is a huge plus, but not required!

Avsnitt 17: Anna, Lina och Karin pratar om filmen Inception, och etablerar filmkategorin 'filmer som får män att känna sig smarta'. Vi slår fast att det är filmer med onödigt komplicerade plotter som framställer sig som smartare än de faktiskt är. Det blir mycket frustrerat suckande över förutsägbara vändpunkter och meningslösa intriger, men även oväntat mycket skratt. Vi pratar också om filmen Absolutely Anything samt böckerna Lila Hibiskus av Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie och Strange Practice av Vivian Shaw. Spoilers för filmen Inception.

This week, we talk to author Vivian Shaw about Greta Helsing, doctor to London’s monsters in Strange Practice. Then we talk to Tom Oates, Consult General Physician at the Royal London hospital about what its like treating the more human elements of the London population.

This episode features author Vivian Shaw, whose debut novel — Strange Practice — was just released from Orbit Books. Strange Practice introduces Dr. Greta Helsing, a normal human physician working to keep the supernatural community not-alive and well in modern-day London. Having inherited her family's specialized medical practice, Greta can barely make ends meet with her treatments for local mummies. But when a sect of murderous monks begins to scour the city's underbelly, intent on killing her unusual friends, she must team up with her undead clients to keep them — and the rest of London — safe. Filled with fresh twists on classic monsters and imaginative mash-ups, this new series is a perfect fit for fans of contemporary fantasy.
