August 12, 2022 On the morning of Friday, August 12, 2022, JASP hosted an event about “terminology” in collaboration with the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). Matt Weisbly, who is the JACL Education and Communications Coordinator, gave the presentation “The Power of Words.”   This topic is very important since the terminology we choose to describe Nikkei wartime experiences such as “internment” or “incarceration” have lasting impact on the next generation of leaders in both the US and Japan. Participants included JASP Speakers, Host Professors, USJC Staff and Members. They learned about the terminology used in the context of Japanese American history and their euphemisms. Additionally, participants discussed their questions and experiences surrounding the topic. You can watch the video recording of the event by clicking on the button below.  Watch Video
