Katie Masano Hill is a fifth-generation Japanese American (Gosei) from Lafayette, Indiana. She graduated from Valparaiso University with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Museum Studies at the University of Oklahoma, specializing in historical preservation and cultural heritage.
Her thesis focuses on the administration of the Tule Lake Segregation Center and examines how archival records from the War Relocation Authority (1942–1946) reflect systems of social control, psychological stress, and resilience. Through qualitative content analysis, her research explores governance, living conditions, and mental health among Japanese Americans unjustly incarcerated during World War II. Her goal is to inform trauma-informed museum interpretation that balances historical accuracy with empathy and respect for survivors’ experiences.
Katie’s passion for advocacy is deeply rooted in her background in social work and her family’s history of incarceration. Her great-grandparents were forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated at Heart Mountain, Tule Lake, and Topaz, where they endured harsh conditions but ultimately survived. Her great-uncle, however, died in camp at only 24 years old. His story, and the countless others marked by loss and silence, fuels Katie’s dedication to preserving these histories and educating future generations about civil liberties and justice.
In addition to her policy work, Katie is a copy editor for Tessaku, a project dedicated to preserving oral histories of Japanese American incarceration. Her written work has also been published in Kioku, a Japanese American journal amplifying stories of intergenerational memory and resilience.
Katie also serves on the Wakasa Memorial Committee, which works to honor and preserve the memory of James Wakasa, a Japanese American man shot and killed by a guard at the Topaz concentration camp in 1943. Her involvement reflects her ongoing commitment to truth-telling and memorialization, ensuring that stories are remembered with the dignity they deserve.
As the Norman Y. Mineta Fellow, Katie works with the JACL Policy Team to advocate for policies that uplift the Japanese American and broader Asian American communities. She is honored to carry forward the legacy of her ancestors and is passionate about preserving and sharing their stories to inspire empathy and understanding.

Ai Grace Acton is an undergraduate student studying International Relations and Sociology at Tufts University. This past summer, Acton was awarded a grant from the Tufts Summer Scholars program to conduct research on multiracial Asian American identity. She is currently extending this research into a senior honors thesis on how multiracial Asian-white individuals understand and negotiate their racial identities within both their communities and the broader U.S. racial hierarchy, drawing on qualitative methods and critical approaches from sociology, Asian American studies, and mixed-race studies.
Beyond her independent research, Acton is analyzing qualitative data from more than forty interviews examining equity and climate in public exam schools following admissions reform as a research assistant to Professor Warikoo in the Department of Sociology. This collaborative project aims to offer insight into the efficacy of the new policy and ultimately improve its implementation.
Grace’s academic and activist work intersect deeply. As a project lead with the Tufts Asian Student Coalition (TASC), she has designed and facilitated workshops that encourage students to think critically about their Asian American identity as a political category. She co-led a successful campaign to strengthen the university’s ethnic studies program, resulting in expanded resources, funding, and course offerings. She also edits and publishes creative and critical works in Voices, Tufts’ Asian American literary and arts magazine, which uplifts Asian American narratives and cultural expression. Her organizing emphasizes solidarity and collective liberation, particularly through mobilizing students for actions and rallies supporting Palestinian liberation and other social justice movements.
In addition to her research and community engagement, Grace works as a Writing Fellow at Tufts, mentoring peers on advanced academic writing. She is also the founder of Light It Up English, an educational initiative that provides personalized English instruction for children across cultures. Through this work, she deepens her commitment to inclusive education and cross-cultural dialogue, values that also shape her scholarship and activism. She is dedicated to bridging academic inquiry and community engagement through work that amplifies Asian American and multiracial narratives, challenges racial hierarchies, and envisions more inclusive futures.
