Palo Alto
I'm off to the campus of Stanford University this weekend to attend the conference of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association. I am going to present a paper there on Friday. This is my first major academic conference and I am a little nervous about how my work will be received, but I feel like the paper I will present is some of my best work. The paper unpacks the model minority thesis that portrays Asian Americans as an ethnic group that has overcome the disadvantages of race. I strive to show how Asians have played a role in the creation of this myth. I think I will feel good about the experience no matter what happens although going to Palo Alto means that I have to leave Ashley for a few days which really stinks. I know that I love her and that she loves me and in the end that is the only thing that really matters. It is the thing that makes me most happy.
