Dr. Meredith Oda will put the Japanese American WWII incarceration into the long history of Asian Americans, before and after the war.

The treatment of Japanese Americans during the war gives us a better understanding of the rise of anti-Asian hate today.

Meredith Oda is Associate Professor of History at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her first book, The Gateway to the Pacific: Japanese Americans and the Remaking of San Francisco (Chicago, 2018), was a transpacific urban history of San Francisco. She is currently working on a book on Japanese American resettlement from WWII incarceration camps from 1942 until the 1952 Walter-McCarran Immigration and Nationality Act.
