Interview with Elaine Koyama : Alumni Stories
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Elaine Koyama (AB Political Science, 1976) speaks about growing up as a third generation Japanese American in Hardin, Montana, her involvement in the Girls State program in high school, and living in Lagunita once she arrived at Stanford. She goes on to discuss joining the glee club her freshman year and her relationship with the Asian American community at Stanford. She also speaks about her experience as a political science major and shares various memories of the time, including studying in the library, the seemingly conservative student body after the unrest in the late 1960s, and flying in Professor Daryl Bem’s airplane as part of a class. Briefly touching upon her career, she discusses her years working in agricultural sales and her published memoir and research on Japanese Americans.
