To some, it may seem as if Asian and Asian American studies has had limited engagement with big tent Digital Humanities, but Asian American scholarship has long been engaged with the digital and the technological, and the often unseen politics therein. For example, Lisa Nakamura has been writing about racial passing online since the mid 1990s, while the collection AsianAmerica.Net: Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Cyberspace (2003) brings together a range of scholars working in information technologies. Both of these examples predate much of the canonical scholarship that has come to define the Digital Humanities, which itself has a longer history in humanities computing. That earlier scholarship deals in questions of identity, nationality, power, community, and social justice—all concerns that have historically been central to Asian American Studies and other ethnic and postcolonial studies.  These investments also mark the important contributions that Asian American studies can bring to digital humanities scholarship.

Below is my attempt to collect some of the various Asian and Asian American digital projects, scholarly and not, but all critical to understanding the larger landscape of Asian American digital criticism. The categories are more fluid than the headings would suggest, but, more than anything, they serve as a convenient way to organize information.

There are many gaps and unintentional omissions, so if you know of people, projects, etc. that should be added to this list, please pass them on! Corrections for links and contact info also welcomed.

Bibliography to come! Please send me recommendations for that if you have any.
