The staff at Hmong Cultural Center's Hmong Resource Center Library recently updated the collection's academic journal articles and dissertation holding lists.

These are probably the most comprehensive academic collections of their kind in one centralized site in the United States.

I have refrained from commenting on this matter but will now do so.

I think this whole matter shows that the Luce Foundation is rather unfortunately
(in my view) solely focused in its Asia Studies grantgiving on the largest
institutions as opposed to the institutions or initiatives perhaps making the
strongest impact in a field like Hmong Studies. As an example, they have had no
interest in supporting the Hmong Studies Journal even though the journal over
the years has published papers from most of the active scholars in the field.
Luce can do whatever it wants with its money but as the one of the only
foundations that does make alot of grants in the area of Asia Studies
scholarship, the foundation's decisions do have the potential to make a positive
impact.

Mark,
 
I do not question its grant and the purposes that will impact the hmong community at-large in the states. however, i question the nature of the selection and its direction of the university-- since, the university already hired a tenure professor who would be teaching the "hmong studies program." the so called "hmong studies program" does not include the natural history courses of the hmong-american here in the states.  that is the very reason that i don't get it, such that the university still needs a limitted term (visiting) professor who has greater knowledge, experience and expertise about hmong-american to teach these history courses. shall the hired tenure professor already  have these skills to do so? 
 
thank you, and above is my opinion and belief as it should be.
 
Chuck

Subject: Hmong Male Studies Within Next Two Year
zher88
Send Email Send Email
 
Hello.

I'm looking for some researchers who may be in their Masters or PHD program that
would be interested in conducting a study with me.

As a mother of 4 girls & 1 boy, I am very concerned about the trend that I have
been noticing for the last 15 years on minority male and education. The study by
the College Board has just confirmed what many Hmong in the community have been
observing all along:
http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/educational-crisis-facing-you\
ng-men-of-color.pdf

Just among our sons & daughters, our daughters born in the US are getting more
high degrees then our sons. We know that higher education = better jobs, pay,
more contribution to society, etc.

Our young men born in the US are in crisis. The high achieving Hmong male are
those born outside the US. What worked before is not working now & we need to do
something.

I'm a researcher by occupation but am an admitted student in the UW-Madison
Education & Leadership Master Program (interested in doing some research into
this issue for the community).

If you are interested, please email me (open up a new email, copy & paste my
address there, don't do a reply to this email, otherwise others in the user
group might get it also & they don't want SPAM).

I'll be putting together the proposal for grants purposes. I'm especially
interested in doing the research in the WI/MN area. I'll be pulling NCES data,
the 2010 Census data & hopefully WTCS & other colleges data.

Email me if you are interested: zher88@....

Thanks.

Subject: Need male second-generation Hmong college students for study
skula2727
Send Email Send Email
 
Hello,

My name is Stacy Kula, and I'm a graduate student in the School of Educational
Studies at Claremont Graduate University in California. I'm writing to ask you
to help me recruit participants for a study I am doing involving Hmong college
students. I have been able to find female participants with no problem, but am
now in need of about ten male students in order to keep the perspectives of both
genders balanced in my findings. If there is any way you can announce this
opportunity to participate to eligible students you know, I'd be very grateful.
Please allow me to give you a brief overview of the project.

My study intends to provide practical policy recommendations to educational
institutions to help provide a pipeline for Hmong American students to get to
college. I will interweave interview data from Hmong college students with a new
theory I've developed to explain academic success in order to provide
substantiation for these recommendations.

For the project, I need to interview second-generation Hmong college students
(second-generation is defined as the first generation born in the U.S.). Hmong
students represent an underserved group who must overcome barriers in order to
navigate our educational system. Those who had entered college have successfully
done so, and I'd like to know what helped or hindered them in that path.
Participation in this study would entail responding to an email interview about
what was involved in the students' decisions and actions leading to college
entrance. I have already pilot-tested the interview with four Hmong students
from across the country, all of whom indicated that they enjoyed participating
in the project. I will also ask my participants to review my results and provide
any comments they have. I am offering a movie ticket to a local theater of their
choice as a token of my appreciation for participating.

All names of people and places mentioned in the interviews would be altered in
the study to protect participants' anonymity. The project has been approved by
my IRB. If there is any way that you can put out a call or speak to students and
ask for volunteers for this study, that would be fantastic. I am planning to
present the results of my study at the AERA (American Educational Research
Association) conference next spring, and will attempt to publish it as well. The
hope is that my findings will help educational policy makers to better serve
those students who experience significant barriers to success.

Below I am including the approved email script that is to be sent to any
potential participants. It has all the initial disclosures they would need to
know before expressing interest in the project. If you can copy and paste it
into whatever emails you send out to students, that would be very helpful. Thank
you very much, ~Stacy

EMAIL SCRIPT:
Hello,

My name is Stacy Kula, and I'm a graduate student at in the School of
Educational Studies at Claremont Graduate University in California. I'm writing
to ask you to consider participating in a research study I am doing involving
Hmong college students. Please allow me to give you a brief overview of the
project.

My study intends to identify various elements that have helped second-generation
Hmong students successfully enter college, and to provide practical suggestions
for educational practice and policy designed to create more opportunities for
other Hmong Americans to do the same. I will be using a new theory I've
developed to explain how the elements contributing to the academic success my
participants fit together.

I need to interview second-generation Hmong college students (second-generation
is defined as the first generation born in the U.S.). Hmong students represent
an underserved group who must overcome barriers in order to navigate our
educational system, and college students have by definition done this. If you
are a second-generation Hmong student who is from the first generation to go to
college (meaning that your parents did not attend college), then you are
eligible to participate.

Participation in this study would entail two or three steps (as step two may not
pertain to everyone):
1. You would respond via email to interview questions about what was involved in
your decisions and actions leading to college entrance. You are free to abstain
from any questions you wish. I have already pilot-tested the interview with four
Hmong students from across the country, all of whom indicated that they enjoyed
participating in the interview process.
2. You would respond to any follow-up questions I may have regarding your
answers. I will not have questions for everyone. These questions will be kept
very brief.
3. Once I have compiled the results, I will also ask you to read those results
and provide any comments you have.
There is a time commitment to participating: writing out your responses to the
interview questions may take two to three hours, responding to any clarifying
questions will take up to half an hour, and reading the results and responding
with your own commentary may take another one to two hours, depending on how
much you choose to comment.

I understand that your time is valuable and therefore am offering a small
incentive as a token of my appreciation for your help. All participants will be
offered a movie ticket to a local theater of their choice when they complete
their part in the study.

I am also concerned about maintaining your confidentiality, as I am planning to
share the results of my study with the academic community. Therefore, all names
of people and places mentioned in the interviews would be altered in the study
to protect your anonymity. Also, I have specifically created an email address to
for communications regarding this study. When the study is done, I will print
out hard copies of all emails to and from my participants, having electronically
blacked out identifying information such as email addresses, names, and places.
Then, I will first permanently delete all emails to and from every participant,
then permanently delete the email account itself.

If you are wiling to participate in this project, please contact me via email at
hmongcollegestudy@... with your first name, age, gender, generational
status, college name, and mailing address so that I can get a consent form to
you. The hope is that my findings will help educational policy makers to better
serve Hmong American students who experience significant barriers to success. I
will continue to accept new participants until I have a maximum of 16 men and 16
women who have indicated they want to get involved in this research.

Thank you very much,
~Stacy

I wonder why no one has done a study of the event.  This single event started
the Hmong diaspora.  It was the longest of the three revolts.

Is it really a Miao vs. Han?
What started the revolt?
Why did it fail?

This event is like WW I, WW II, Gettysburg, and War of 1812.  It is more than a
lifetime of work.  If someone is looking for research idea, this event is
untouched and full of opportunities.

Hello everyone,

I am working with ChildFund Australia in a project that is aiming to connect
children through technology to learn from each other about international
development and children's rights.

Children from Hmong communities in Laos are going to be involved in this project
and will be creating some videos that will need to be translated into English.
Similarly, children in Australia will be producing some videos that will need to
be translated into written Hmong.

I am writing to see if anyone knows an organisation I could approach to look for
volunteers to be part of this project as translators. We are working with
communities where ChildFund Australia implements projects.

For more information visit: http://childfund.org.au and
http://childfundconnect.org

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Best,

Raul

As a Wikipedia editor I have noticed that many, many languages have their own
dedicated Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects. They not only include major
world languages like English, French, and Spanish, but they also include more
regional languages and area native languages like Somali, Pashtun, Nahuatl, and
Luxembourgish.

So far, however, there is not yet a Hmong Wikipedia.

Consider the previous proposal to create a Hmong Wikipedia:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Hmong - I
would suggest the Hmong community to consider the previous proposal and the
arguments, and then craft a new proposal that will be approved.

It would be helpful for the Hmong people to have (a) Wikipedia(s) in their
native language(s).

Okay - the administrator wants people contributing to the page to sign up.

It is a matter of registering for a new account. Once you get an account, you

Alright, because the consensus is to establish a Wikipedia in White Hmong

The first articles for the project need to be written at the Wikimedia Incubator
- That is located at http://incubator.wikimedia.org

The Wiki interface translation needs to be done at http://translatewiki.net

Once the interface is done and once there is a sizable collection of articles,
the content will be transferred to http://mww.wikipedia.org

If you need any help with this, please respond to my message and I will try to
get more specific instructions.

Thank you,

Subject: Black Nightshade and SUNDS
hmongcultural
Send Email Send Email
 
This e-mail was recently sent to me by Clarence Whitworth, and may interest
some. The writer was also wondering if anything further had been learned about
SUNDS which was a big issue in Hmong refugee adaptation research in the 1980s.

"I was reminded in a conversation recently of this issue, that black
nightshade (used in traditional Hmong cooking) could be dangerous for Hmong who
had become unaccustomed to it.  I was wondering if anything further had been
learned since 2007 regarding Nightmare Death Syndrome.

If the syndrome is still with the Hmong, it seems to me to be a matter of some
urgency.  There is no harm in publicizing within the Hmong community that black
nightshade in food could be dangerous for anyone who has been away from
traditional food for awhile.

Rereading the 1993 Science News article, I am still surprised that a researcher
who specialized in toxins in ethnic foods, who herself had nearly been killed by
eating a meal prepared with black nightshade, apparently did not make the
connection to the well-known Hmong bachelor death syndrome.  The behavioral
profile seems to fit perfectly -- the typical victim, according to the newspaper
accounts I read at the time, was a 30-ish bachelor who hadn't eaten traditional
foods in awhile.  He is invited to a traditional dinner, eats, goes home, falls
asleep, and never wakes up.  None of the other dinner guests are affected.  That
seems completely consistent with one of the main points of the Science News
article, that people apparently gradually developed a tolerance to the toxins. 
For example, the article mentions that the Hmong knew that children should be
gradually introduced to food containing black nightshade.

If you are in a position to publicize this within the Hmong community, my hope
is that you do so.  If the Nightmare Death Syndrome has gone away, then it would
no longer matter, but even so a message that black nightshade should be used
with great caution would still be a good thing."
