Week 10

In this week’s reading called “‘The Time to Fight is Now’: When Asian American Women in Academia Go Rogue” by Kieu-Linh Caroline Valverde and Wei Ming Dariotis explains the non-recognition of Asian American women in the educational system and its administration. The authors examine how Asian women are looked at in the business and administration industry and show us how Asian women are still outliers when picking people for leadership roles and other high positions of power. As students of the school, we would think that the university would do the right thing to give its faculty and staff what it needs, such as tenure, to provide the knowledge and services they are supposed to, but in reality, the university operates more as a business than a place of fairness and giving their staff what they deserve. This reading recognizes the fact that society would rather see Asian women working as people of service and lower rather than people of high status in the workplace and administration. This problem lies deeper within our social structure and shows a prime example of patriarchy.
