SUMMARY:Play - Did You Eat? (밥 먹었니?)
DESCRIPTION:DID YOU EAT? (밥 먹었니?) is Zoë Kim’s autobiographical journey through love’s many forms–how it’s learned\, given\, and reflected inward. In a nimble and tender solo performance\, Zoë shapeshifts into the souls of her family through a landscape of memories where tears and laughter collide. It’s not just a story\, but a reckoning—weaving through the textured threads of Korean/American identity\, belonging\, and healing. DID YOU EAT? (밥 먹었니?) is a poetic love letter to the inner child\, and hopefully yours too. Directed by Chris Yejin.

SUMMARY:Learn to Use AI for Data Reporting: Prompt writing and AI-powered data analysis
DESCRIPTION:Quickly evolving artificial intelligence technology is emerging as a potentially powerful journalism tool\, including for harnessing data in stories.

SUMMARY:States against Nations: Meritocracy\, Patronage\, and the Challenges of Bureaucratic Selection
DESCRIPTION:Join NYSEAN for a talk by Nicholas Kuipers about his new book\, States Against Nations (Cambridge University Press\, 2025). In his book\, Kuipers questions the virtues of meritocratic recruitment as the ideal method of bureaucratic selection. He argues that while civil service reform is often seen as an admirable act of state-building\, it can actually undermine nation-building. Throughout the book\, he shows that in countries with high levels of group-based inequality\, privileged groups tend to outperform marginalized groups on entrance exams\, leading to disproportionate representation in government positions. This dynamic exacerbates intergroup tensions and undermines efforts towards nation-building. Drawing on large-scale surveys\, experiments\, and archival documents\, States Against Nations provides a thought-provoking perspective on the challenges of bureaucratic recruitment and unearths an overlooked tension between state- and nation-building.

SUMMARY:Unruly Comparison: Queerness\, Hong Kong\, and the Sinophone
DESCRIPTION:Alvin K. Wong (University of Hong Kong) joins the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality for a discussion about his new book Unruly Comparison Queerness\, Hong Kong\, and the Sinophone (Duke University Press\, 2025). \nThe book examines queerness in Hong Kong through a transdisciplinary analysis of Sinophone literature\, cinema\, visual culture\, and civil society. Moving beyond Eurocentrism in queer theory and China-centrism in area studies\, Wong frames Hong Kong as a model for global comparison by theorizing a method of unruly comparison—acknowledging the incommensurability of cultural texts and queer figures across different temporal and spatial locations. Here\, unruly comparison positions Hong Kong as an undefinable time-space that troubles historicist\, colonial\, and China-centric renderings of the city as merely a site of British colonial legacy\, Chinese rule\, or global capital. Wong analyzes queer interracial desire in World War II; a cinema of gay male cosmopolitanism; queer intimacy among migrant workers; trans visuality and legality; cross-border sex work; and the queer diaspora of Hong Kong after the 2019 protests. Through Wong’s readings\, Hong Kong becomes a queer region of racial\, gender\, and sexual incommensurability. By foregrounding the friction\, asymmetry\, and perverse juxtapositions of unruly comparison of Hong Kong with the Sinophone world\, Wong reframes key debates in queer theory and East Asian studies. \nA limited number of free copies will be available at the event.
