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:Dalit Journeys for Dignity
DESCRIPTION:Dalit Journeys for Dignity is a facilitated discussion about the radical\, field-shifting subfield of Dalit Studies within South Asian Studies. This event centers around the publication of this second volume\, the Dalit Studies Volume Two (April 2025\, SUNY Press and Permanent Black)\, using this occasion to reflect on the developments in this field since its formal inauguration with the Dalit Studies (Duke\, 2016) by Ramnarayan S. Rawat (Delaware) and Kusuma Satyanarayana (EFL-U\, Hyderabad) now close to a decade ago. It extends the discussion to a broader examination of the field’s affinities with other newer interdisciplinary subfields\, such as Critical Caste Studies\, Gender and Caste\, or more established ones\, like Black Studies.

SUMMARY:Budget Justice: On Building Grassroots Politics and Solidarities
DESCRIPTION:Join Gabe Dunn\, bestselling author\, actor\, and filmmaker\, and host of the podcast “Bad With Money\,” and Professor Celina Su\, Department of Political Science\, for a conversation on racial capitalism\, coalition building\, and her book recent book\, Budget Justice. \nDrawing on her years of engagement with democratic governance in New York City and around the globe\, Su proposes in her book a new kind of democracy\, in which city residents make collective decisions about public needs through processes like participatory budgeting\, and in which they work across racial divides and segregated spaces as neighbors rather than as consumers or members of voting blocs. Essential reading to empower citizens\, Budget Justice explains why public budgets reflect a crisis not so much in accounting as in democracy\, and enables everyone\, especially those from historically marginalized communities\, to imagine and enact people’s budgets and policies—from universal preschool to affordable housing—that will enable their communities to thrive.
