Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

4/27/26. Vijay Limaye. Natural Resources Defense Council
Q: How do you describe the relationship between regulation and industry costs, and what does the data really show?
Regulation has always weighed costs against health benefits, and the broader social costs of dirty air—like health care and reduced productivity—are real, which means cleaner air can coexist with a strong economy.
4/27/26. Vijay Limaye. Natural Resources Defense Council
Q: What is your perspective on how scientists should speak about environmental threats without appearing alarmist?
I believe scientists should tell the human stories behind the data, connect with people's daily lives, and make the health impacts tangible so the message is both accurate and relatable, without sensationalism.
4/24/26. "American Peril". (Anti-Asian Bigotry)
Q: What kind of dots need to be connected and do seek to connect in the writing of this book?
Kurashige outlines the core thesis of his book: linking U.S. imperialism, wars in Asia, domestic racial violence, labor struggles, and political rhetoric to reveal a continuous thread of anti-Asian racism.
4/24/26. "American Peril". (Anti-Asian Bigotry)
Q: How does one go about penetrating a story that, to such a large extent, has been left either untold or consciously hidden away?
He discusses the necessity of digging into archival material, cross-referencing events across decades, and showing how disparate incidents fit a larger pattern of anti-Asian racism and violence.
4/24/26. "American Peril". (Anti-Asian Bigotry)
Q: Give us some sense of the pathway you have taken since deciding that this is something into which you wanted to really delve deeply. And what kind of a challenge has it been for you to explore a history that, of course, as you've already said, has already, to some extent, been whitewashed?
Kurashige explains his personal and academic journey into Asian American history, emphasizing long-term patterns of erasure and the need to uncover hidden histories, including violence and activism, to connect past and present injustices.
