Michael’s dissertation for his U.C. Berkeley Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies examined the relationship between discourses on race and citizenship rights and public policy during the 1996 Clinton administration re-election cycle’s campaign finance reform controversy, coined by the media as “Asian Donorgate.” The dissertation is published as: “Racial Politics in the Era of Transnational Citizenship” (2004, Rowman and Littlefield). He recently published a law journal article, Doctrinal Instability in Contextual Race-Conscious Review: The Continuing Legacy of the Korematsu Court’s Ultra-Deference Standard, 26 (1) UCLA Asian Pacific American Law Journal (2023). https://doi.org/10.5070/P326160686
