SUMMARY:"CRAASH in Focus: Revitalizing Asian American Studies" Exhibition at Cooperman Library
DESCRIPTION:On view on the third floor of Cooperman Library through Sept 2025\, CRAASH in Focus: Revitalizing Asian American Studies explores the history of student activism surrounding the Asian American Studies Program (AASP) at Hunter College\, from its early foundation in the late 1980s and early 1990s\, the revitalization of it in the 2000s and 2010s by way of CRAASH\, or the Coalition for the Revitalization of Asian American Studies at Hunter\, and CRAASH’s ongoing influence and impact today. Drawing heavily from archival materials held by the Hunter College Libraries\, this exhibition demonstrates how students have advocated for the AASP through concerted news and social media campaigns\, petitions\, protests\, and events\, as well as their solidarity efforts with other student organizations. Curated by Mee-Len Hom\, Allison Ransom\, and Lily Susman.

SUMMARY:Cementing the Quad: Power\, Partnership\, and Regional Purpose
DESCRIPTION:As Quad leaders prepare to convene in India this Fall\, the Indo-Pacific finds itself at a moment of strategic flux. From the Pacific Islands to South Asia and Southeast Asia\, regional actors are increasingly wary about how their security\, development\, technology\, and climate needs and priorities are being addressed within an evolving and uncertain geopolitical landscape. As the Quad navigates growing expectations and each member manages complex bilateral relations with the United States and China\, key questions persist: Can the Quad sustain its momentum amid shifting foreign policy headwinds? What will keep the United States committed? And more importantly\, how can the Quad evolve into a durable framework for not just the member countries to work together and progress on shared interests but also ensure wider\, inclusive regional cooperation? \nThis panel will not only delve into regional perceptions but also assess the evolving role of the Quad and its future trajectory amid bilateral tensions\, U.S. policy shifts\, and changing geopolitical dynamics. Speakers include Danny Russel\, Distinguished Fellow\, Asia Society Policy Institute; Masafumi Ishii\, former Japanese Ambassador to Indonesia; Nishank Motwani\, Senior Fellow and Director Alliance Strategy\, Australian Strategic Policy Institute; and Farwa Aamer\, Director for South Asia Initiatives\, Asia Society Policy Institute. Emma Chanlett-Avery\, Director for Political-Security Affairs\, Asia Society Policy Institute\, will moderate the conversation. Rorry Daniels\, Managing Director\, Asia Society Policy Institute\, will offer welcoming remarks.

SUMMARY:Dan Wang on Engineers vs. Lawyers
DESCRIPTION:The phrase “developing country” is often pejorative. It conjures images of dust\, concrete\, corruption and a reckless dash towards modernity. But it also connotes change and the palpable sense of a brighter future. Is China a developing country? Can the United States still develop? In his new book Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future (W. W. Norton\, August 2025)\, the writer and analyst Dan Wang argues for a new paradigm to understand the People’s Republic in contrast to the United States. China is an engineering state\, where a sledgehammer is the tool for all jobs; the U.S. is a lawyerly society\, where everything is gavelled to a halt. The book takes readers from the rise of China’s tech behemoths to the disasters of its One Child and Zero-Covid policies. Parts reportage\, philosophy\, memoir and history\, Breakneck makes a fascinating argument about the future of both China and the United States.
