December 11, 2025 Brown Bag: A talk by Dr. Betina Hsieh

Moments & Movements: Counterstories for Critical Asian American+ Studies in Education

Dr. Betina Hsieh is a co-editor of the book Moments & Movements: Counterstories for Critical Asian American+ Studies in Education published in April 2025, a collection of counterstories born from community and shared commitments challenging the ways diverse diasporas and experiences of people from the Asian continent and the Pacific Ocean are largely made invisible, silenced, and erased. Dr. Hsieh will reflect on key aspects of this volume in relation to her work in the areas of identity-informed mentoring in teacher education spaces, the emergence and development of a teacher (and teacher educator) professional identity, social media and teacher education, Asian Americans in education, and the experiences of teachers of color.

As part of this presentation, COE School for Teacher Education faculty Dr. ‘Alohilani Okamura and Dr. Kirsten Mawyer will share their mana‘o about their chapter in the book, “He Moʻolelo No Kupa: Cultivating Culturally Sustaining and Revitalizing Pedagogy Through Kanaka ʻŌiwi Epistemology”.
