His parents emigrated from the Philippines, and the starkness of cultures between his home and public life made it challenging for him to acclimate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I was at school or with friends, I always felt too foreign, but whenever I was at home, I felt too American,\u201d said Totaan, a graduate student at the University of Washington Bothell. \u201cI have never felt as though I truly belonged anywhere.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feeling of \u201cotherness\u201d is one that many immigrants and their descendants experience. Through a new program called <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/713097941\">Southeast Asian Pasts and Futures<\/a>, however, students at UW Bothell can create a sense of connection and belonging they have been yearning for, some their entire lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said Totaan, \u201cIn elementary and high school, I was always teased about my culture. This was the first time I got to be proud of my heritage in a classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/v.png\" alt=\"Students in the spring 2022 program cohort \" class=\"wp-image-26625\" width=\"1280\" height=\"655\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Students in the spring 2022 program cohort <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Celebrating their strengths <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SEAPF spans three quarters and is taught by Dr. Raissa DeSmet, associate teaching professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts &amp; Sciences, and Nhi Tran, academic adviser and affiliate faculty. The program brings together Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans students to celebrate their cultural strength and resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When developing the program, DeSmet drew inspiration from Research Family, a program established by Dr. Holly Barker, teaching professor in the Department of Anthropology at UW in Seattle. Research Family uses the Pacific Islander cultural collections at the Burke Museum to provide research opportunities for students who are traditionally underrepresented in this kind of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After hearing about the museum program in 2015, DeSmet began dreaming of starting a similar program for Southeast Asian students at UW Bothell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSoutheast Asian students can feel minoritized within Asian and Pacific Islander formations. We have particular migration histories, material realities and experiences of racialization and racism,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I found out that the Southeast Asian cultural belongings in the Burke Museum were seldom accessed by community members, I saw an opportunity for healing.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/03\/SEAPF-Selfie-at-Restuarant.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23889\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Byrek and Baguette, working brunch, winter 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bringing past into present <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After partnering with the Burke for several years to create various <a href=\"\/news\/december-2017\/burke-heritage\">museum and culture focused classes<\/a>, DeSmet\u2019s larger programmatic dreams finally came to fruition in autumn 2021 with funding from the University\u2019s Southeast Asia Center in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the support of UW faculty and Burke Museum staff, students in UW Bothell\u2019s inaugural <a href=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/seac\/uw-luce-sea\/southeast-asian-pasts-and-futures\/\">SEAPF program<\/a> designed their own research projects, working directly with objects in the Southeast Asian collections and building relationships with APIDA knowledge holders in the Puget Sound. Each quarter, they participated in critical conversations and community-building activities while exploring the field of museum studies and practicing indigenous research methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-3.jpg\" alt=\"students in class \" class=\"wp-image-26627\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Students in winter 2022 quarter examining Dong Ho Paintings from Vietnam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough SEAPF, we connect Southeast Asian students with these pieces that are sitting on museum shelves, not visited, not held, not spoken or sung to,\u201d DeSmet said. \u201cBy facilitating interactions between students and objects that are representative of their culture, we begin cultural renewal work that is object centered.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cultural renewal is a process, DeSmet said, of \u201cfinding strength in our identities and traditions, our resistance to oppressive forces, and our resilience and creativity as communities.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way students in the program did this work was by writing about an object that represents who they are and where they came from. Two such objects are chop sticks and a mortar and pestle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picked apart with chopsticks <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/249750675-400779944926856-1537320951139901068-n.jpg\" alt=\"Henry Nguyen, senior in the School of IAS \" class=\"wp-image-26628\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nguyen, senior in the School of IAS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry Nguyen, a senior majoring in Gender, Women &amp; Sexuality Studies and in Media &amp; Communication Studies, said that he remembers as a child being scolded for the way he used chopsticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy grandma always closely scrutinized the movement of my chopsticks, waited for me to drop something and humiliated my table manners,\u201d he said. \u201cEven when I managed to pick up the food without dropping anything or making a noise, she still criticized me for having the pinky finger pointing out while holding the chopsticks.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nguyen moved to the United States from Vietnam in his late childhood. Despite moving halfway across the globe, the memories of those nights at the table stayed with him, and whenever he finds himself in an Asian restaurant, those memories come swarming back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see people doing little dances with their chopsticks, dropping them multiple times or pointing their chopsticks at each other,\u201d he said. \u201cIt drives me crazy seeing how people disrespectfully handle their chopsticks \u2014 and it drives me crazy seeing how unfair it was for my grandma to scrutinize the way I used my chopsticks.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating a story of family <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During his time at the Burke Museum, Nguyen learned to treat objects with love and care. He vividly remembers walking into the collections room for the first time and learning about how objects end up at a museum. \u201cSome objects lost their historical context, some carry violence, some experience diaspora \u2014 finding a \u2018home\u2019 in a faraway place,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I decided to write my piece on chopsticks, I knew to handle the object with care, protection and thoughtfulness. A pair of chopsticks is not simply an inanimate object. Instead, it holds a part of my lived experience. It connects me with my grandma,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before Nguyen wrote his reflection titled Chopsticks \u2014 More Than Just a Utensil, he and his grandmother were not on good terms. But the more he researched the significance of chopsticks, the more empathy he had for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI learned about the cultural beauty of chopsticks use. Appropriate chopsticks use means refined table manners, it means treasuring the food,\u201d he said. \u201cIt also means treating our ancestors with respect.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One item, thousands of memories <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/1621542396540.jpg\" alt=\"Kappes, senior in the School of STEM \" class=\"wp-image-26629\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kappes, senior in the School of STEM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Molly Kappes, a senior in the School of STEM, also has childhood memories tied to culturally significant objects. One of her is a mortar and pestle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome of my earliest memories are of my mom cooking for me and my siblings in the kitchen. Each meal was made from the heart, and the amount of love she put in always hid the labor and skill required of traditional Khmer cooking,\u201d Kappes said. \u201cWe had to eat everything on our plates, no exceptions. \u2018Every bite is hard-won,\u2019 she would say.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout Kappes\u2019 childhood, she saw her mother meticulously smash, grind and pound various ingredients in this mortar, and it became synonymous in her mind with family dinners and full stomachs. \u201cIts worn appearance could tell anyone it was well used, and to me it radiated love,\u201d she said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know until I was older what significance this mortar and pestle held for my mom and our family history.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1975, the Khmer Rouge won the Cambodian Civil War and took control of Phnom Penh, Cambodia\u2019s capital. \u201cLed by Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge began to commit countless atrocities that over approximately three years, led to the loss of more than a quarter of the country\u2019s population,\u201d Kappes said. \u201cMy mom\u2019s family first experienced the hardships of war after the disappearance of my great-grandpa, who was Chinese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy grandpa, his son, tried using his government connections to get my great grandpa back. But shortly after, my grandma was held at gunpoint under suspicion of being Vietnamese, and they knew it was too dangerous to stay.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extending past tragedy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That was the start of a seven-year journey of uncertainty and insecurity. Besides the few personal items each child could carry, her family took only their gold and jewelry, some woven mats, a silver spoon, and the mortar and pestle her mom still uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy the time they landed in Ohio as refugees, the mortar and pestle was the only object that remained with my mom\u2019s family,\u201d Kappes said. \u201cThis mortar and pestle saw the hardship of war. It remembers the heartbreak of separation, not knowing when or if they would see each other again, and the unimaginable loss of family.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said that despite the violence these objects have seen through their lifetime, it isn\u2019t a war artifact to be observed. It\u2019s a tool to be used, still capable of creating joy and fond memories. \u201cLearning about the mortar and pestle\u2019s history didn\u2019t taint the positivity I had formed around it \u2014 it extended it,\u201d Kappes said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWorking with cultural belongings at the Burke Museum helped me develop a sensitivity to individual histories that was crucial when looking at something from my own history. It\u2019s easy to see a museum object as something transformed,\u201d she said, \u201cbut many of these items were just plucked from their homes and put on display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something powerful about combining personal connection with this kind of research. Because of it, I feel a much deeper connection to my family story.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lasting cultural connections <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nguyen and Kappe\u2019s reflections about these items, along with those of their classmates, will be featured in a zine they are publishing this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-7.jpg\" alt=\"students in collaboratory \" class=\"wp-image-26630\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Students in spring 2022 quarter mapping the evolution of the SEAPF zine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tran said the students exceeded her expectations. Nguyen\u2019s work in the program, for example, helped earn him a internship at the Massage Parlor Outreach Project, an organization that advocates and supports migrant Asian massage workers in Seattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe students all blew me away in terms of their energy, their support and their care for one another and dedication to their work,\u201d Tran said. \u201cThese students didn\u2019t know each other when they first started this class, now they are best friends. The friendship, connection and community \u2014 that is forever.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those interested in participating in the 2023 program, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1dtGlhMRw18LlhWmZ_88jJDzGjcI4CY5UZM71w9G1jwg\/viewform?edit_requested=true\">application website<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southeast Asian Pasts and Futures is a new program at UW Bothell in which students of Asian descent spend quarters studying together to understand their past, address their present and reimagine their future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_is_archived":false,"_archived_contact_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[202,218,229,197,214,204],"tags":[],"school":[419,421],"class_list":["post-22422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-news","category-community-engagement","category-faculty","category-news-releases","category-research","category-students","school-school-of-ias","school-school-of-stem"],"acf":{"related_links":{"toggle_visibility":false,"link_1":"","link_2":"","link_3":"","link_4":"","link_5":""},"highlight_box":{"toggle_visibility":false,"title":"","content":"","button":"","button_style":"angled-purple-button","button_screen_reader_text":""},"contact_type_1":{"toggle_visibility":true,"contact_title":"Contact Us","email":"test@uwb.edu","phone":"(206) 999-1234","box":"Box 358500","address_line_1":"18115 Campus Way NE","address_line_2":"Bothell, WA 98011-8246","location":""},"contact_type_2":{"toggle_visibility":false,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"social_media":{"toggle_visibility":false,"facebook_url":"","instagram_url":"","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","youtube_url":""},"blog_archive_sidebar_visibility":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
