Welcome to my redesigned website. This new space brings together information about my books, selected publications, public lectures, interviews, and professional work.

It will also serve as a home for occasional essays, research notes, publication announcements, and reflections on Asian American history.

My scholarship has long focused on the relationship between migration and community: how people build lives across borders, how local histories connect to national and global narratives, and how communities in the American heartland reshape our understanding of Asian America.

I hope the materials gathered here will be useful to students, scholars, educators, community historians, and general readers. Thank you for visiting.
