In the second episode of our new season, we are excited to welcome our distinguished guest, Joe Cheah, Chair at the University of Saint Joseph. Renowned for his research in race and religion, Buddhist studies, and Asian American theological studies, Joe brings a unique perspective to the table. As an author, his recent work, "Anti-Asian Racism: Myths, Stereotypes, and Catholic Social Teaching" (2022), resonates deeply with our themes. A recipient of two Connecticut state awards, Joe is not just a scholar but also a community leader who co-sponsors a Kyauktan, Myanmar orphanage. And an fun fact about Joe, he's proficient in Karate!

Our conversation with Joe sets the stage for a mini-arc centered on sustained advocacy for the AAPI community following tragedies. We aim to challenge the typical cycle - a brief moment of increased posts and awareness before fading away - and foster a more enduring dialogue. Additionally, this discussion serves as a primer to our larger conversation around the pressing issues of gun control and violence in our nation. We hope to inspire continued attention and action through these thought-provoking episodes.
