He believes in teaching, learning, and doing history through primary documents, scholarly texts, popular culture, and oral communication.Trained in Ethnic Studies, he places a premium on blurring the line between campus and community, whether it's encouraging students to write letters to their government, recite historical documents, conduct oral histories, or get involved for a collective cause. He is the author of "Becoming Refugee American: The Politics of Rescue in Little Saigon" (2017, University of Illinois Press).
