Edward Chang, UC Riverside

Professor and director,
Ethnic Studies
He/Him/His

Professor of Ethnic Studies and founding Director of the Young Oak Kim Center for Korean American Studies at the University of California at Riverside. A prolific researcher, Prof. Chang has published twelve books, seven edited volumes, and numerous articles. His latest book is Pachappa Camp: The First Koreatown in the United States which won the “Grand Prize” from the Association for Studies of Koreans Abroad. The book was also featured in the NY Times, LA Times, NBC News, and PBS NewsHour. He also published “Korean Americans: A Concise History” (2019). Professor Chang has studied and been a voice of the Korean community for more than 30 years. He is a leading expert on the Los Angeles civil unrest and appeared in a CNN Special report “The Fire Still Burns: 30 Years After the LA Riots” on April 29, 2022. Dr. Chang’s continued research and speaking on matters relating to building peace in inter-ethnic communities has shown that his interest in this subject goes far beyond one of crisis management and beyond the issues of one urban neighborhood. He has also continued his efforts to motivate the mainstream media to portray race relations in America as an issue that is larger and more complex than simply black and white. Chang received the “Order of Civil Merit, Magnolia Medal” from the Republic of Korea in 2019. Chang is an International Advisor for Incheon Metropolitan City of Korea.

Distinguished Professor, History She/Her/Hers I am a historian of late imperial and modern China and the Chinese maritime. My current project, on maritime China, explores the following: a) Chinese constructions of the maritime as domains of sovereignty and territorialization; b)Chinese diaspora and the cultural constructions of de-territorialized Chineseness; c) the transformation of Taiwan as a site where the diverging trends and the geo-strategic dynamics intersect. I am interested in related issues both of internal laws and national constructions. Email: sha@berkeley.edu Website: https://history.berkeley.edu/wen-hsin-yeh LinkedIn:
