APA Compass will kickoff a new series, "APA POP WATCH", with focus on APAs in the media and pop culture. This month we'll dedicate the whole show to APA Pop Watch and take a critical look at TV. There's a whole slew of new shows featuring APA faces including Nikita, Outsourced and Hawaii 5-0, as well as others such as Community, Grey's Anatomy and Flash Forward. We'll look at these shows as well as how APA representation on TV has changed over last few years.
 

Tune in for this month's APA Compass, where we'll be discussing homeland politics for Asian Pacific Americans. What does "home" mean for us, for our families, and our communities? What effects do social and political events in our homelands have on us here in the U.S.? We'll feature an audio postcard on the meaning of "home" for local Asian Pacific Americans. You'll hear a live roundtable discussion with scholar and activist Svati Shah and Minal Hajratwala on the topic of the recent decriminalization of gay sex in India. And, as always, another Angry APA Minute!

This month we're talking with local and national activists about Hawaiian sovereignty and the Akaka Bill. We'll also feature an interview with Hawaiian rappers, Sudden Rush.

Also, do you have an idea for an Angry APA Minute you'd like to submit and perform for the show? Please let us know!
