As a founding chair of UCLA's Department of Asian American Studies, Sociology Professor Min Zhou studies the nature of transnational migration and assimilation in the lives of Asian Americans in the United States. In the following interviews, Professor Zhou explores the nature of the networked culture created by early Chinese immigrants through Family Associations and the lessons that this experience sheds on contemporary migration.
