Community
No historian is an island.
My scholarship is only possible because of the generosity and advice of colleagues, mentors, friends, and family. Community-focused work -- service, public history, and paying it forward -- is core to my practice.
Some of the communities and community-focused experiences I've had on my journey as a historian:
Founder and co-organizer, Queer@ASEH, a queer scholars community within the American Society for Environmental History
Digital content advisor: the American Yawp (a massively collaborative open U.S. history textbook)
Contributor and member, Environmental Historians Action Collaborative (shared Creative Commons licensed teaching materials on the politics of climate change and global justice)
Co-founder and co-lead, Stanford Environmental and Climate History Workshop
Department of History, Stanford University, past graduate admissions committee, United States field
Undergraduate Thesis Mentor, Department of History, Stanford University
United States History Workshop, Stanford University, past graduate co-facilitator
Presentations of community-based research at community museums in the Bay Area: the Japanese American Museum of San Jose and the San Mateo County History Museum
Invited to provide historical expertise for Redwood City, California area memorialization and public art projects on Japanese American community history
Professional association memberships: American Historical Association, American Society for Environmental History, Organization of American Historians, and The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations
