In addition to discussing the powerful anecdotes within his book on the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 from his perspective on the ground, Sullivan will also share his perspectives on contemporary topics, including the prospects for ending the Russia-Ukraine war, the future of Russia under and after Putin, the foreign policy outlook for President Trump’s second term, and more.

Dr. Satsuki Ina will discuss her memoir The Poet and the Silk Girl: A Memoir of Love, Imprisonment, and Protest, a compelling story of one family’s defiance in the face of injustice and how their story echoes across generations.

Satsuki Ina is an Emmy award-winning documentarian, community activist, and co-founder of Tsuru for Solidarity. The Poet and the Silk Girl explores her family’s experience of unjust incarceration during WWII.

Ina links her family’s story to struggles against WWII incarceration camps to ongoing mass incarceration of migrants at the U.S. — Mexico border. Her story and analysis are particularly relevant given national conversations about mass detention camps and invoking the Alien Enemies Act today.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Asian American Studies, Human Rights Watch, Immigration Clinic at the University of Texas School of Law, the Initiative for Law, Societies, and Justice, Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice, Sissy Farenthold Fund for Peace and Social Justice, Tsuru for Solidarity, and the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law.
