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.

SUMMARY:Mapping Deportations
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at the UCLA School of Law (CILP) and Million Dollar Hoods (MDH) for this webinar launch of a groundbreaking new project: Mapping Deportations. \nMapping Deportations is a website that uses maps\, data\, and timelines to unmask the relationship between race and U.S. immigration enforcement throughout U.S. history. Tracking every deportation since 1895\, the data shows that 96% of all deportations have been to countries in Latin America\, the Caribbean\, Asia\, and Africa. In short\, Mapping Deportations illustrates how the immigration laws\, and particularly deportation policy\, have engineered the racial make-up of the country since its founding—a phenomenon that is taking place in plain sight today. \nThis event will feature a webinar presentation and discussion about the website between MDH Cartographer Mariah Tso (Diné)\, MDH founder Kelly Lytle Hernández\, and CILP Faculty Co-Director Ahilan Arulanantham\, and will be moderated by CILP Faculty Co-Director Hiroshi Motomura.

SUMMARY:In Celebration of Seabeast
DESCRIPTION:Join AAWW for a celebration of Seabeast by Rajiv Mohabir\, featuring Megan Pinto\, Ashna Ali\, and Rosamond King! \nOrganized as an alphabetical bestiary\, Seabeast lyrically catalogues whale species by common name and behaviors\, resulting in a poetic compendium that defies pathetic fallacy even as it sings the similarities between homo sapiens and the marine mammoths that have long captured our fascination. In his fifth full-length collection\, Rajiv Mohabir winds together the threads of cetacean evolution\, natural history\, animal migration\, and human culture and colonization as they concern the endurance of all species. In anthropomorphizing these complex mammals\, Mohabir argues\, we overwrite and erase their sublime difference and selfhood\, their distinct and separate experience of embodiment; yet\, in refusing to recognize the familiarities of whale behavior and social patterns\, we subjugate these magnificent creatures\, affirming a hierarchy that establishes anything inhuman as inherently less than human and enabling cruelty toward all manner of living things.

SUMMARY:Contemporary China: Demystifying Economic and Social Changes

They discuss China’s remarkable strides toward eradicating poverty and the simultaneous growing inequality that has produced a new billionaire class; the decline in the birthrate despite the end of the One Child Policy; and how increased access to technology\, with the limitations of censorship\, is affecting the social landscape. \nFeaturing Yong Cai\, associate professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill; Qin Gao\, professor of social policy and social work at Columbia University; Rongbin Han\, professor of international affairs at the University of Georgia; and Branko Milanovic\, research professor at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality\, CUNY Graduate Center\, author of Capitalism\, Alone and Visions of Inequality.

SUMMARY:Ways of Undoing with Dawn Chan
DESCRIPTION:What happens if you refuse to fly for work? For gallerists\, curators\, and others working in the globalized field of contemporary visual art\, air travel and other carbon-intensive infrastructures are a necessity. Underwritten by nations in pursuit of soft power\, or by patrons jet-setting their way through a global art-fair circuit\, the forms of exchange most prominently driving contemporary art’s circulation have become entirely reliant on jet fuel. \nOn Friday 9/19\, writer and cultural critic Dawn Chan will present an on-going research project springing from a single constraint: What happens when an art critic refuses to fly for art events and press trips? Going beyond a narrow understanding of flight-free alternatives (like Zoom talks)\, the project proposes serious\, whimsical\, unsettling\, even absurdist alternatives. Could one hire an actor as a doppelganger? Stage a Twitch livestream lecture? Retain an attorney as a mouthpiece for a day? Jointly review a faraway show with a local critic?

SUMMARY:Is Deglobalization Inevitable?
DESCRIPTION:Is the current movement towards deglobalization just part of a cycle that has had its ups and downs\, or are we in a structural movement towards a more permanent isolation of countries from a trade and economic point of view? \nThe topic of deglobalization has never been more prominent than it is today. The topic has been elevated in importance for some time now as we have seen dramatic changes in country trade practices\, relative manufacturing and service strengths\, economic trends\, and political positions. The tariff situation brought about by the U.S. recently has made it even more consequential today. \nNobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz will open with a fireside chat on the evening’s central issue\, followed by a lively debate between two leading experts: Professor Walden Bello\, credited with coining the term “deglobalization\,” and Professor Edward Ashbee. They’ll present opposing views in a traditional debate format—opening statements\, rebuttals\, and closing remarks.

SUMMARY:Education Workshop Webinar - Immigration
DESCRIPTION:APIDAs were once excluded from entering the U.S. The Civil Rights Movement spearheaded by Black Americans led to the revision of discriminatory laws including immigration laws—leading to the passage of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965. Today\, APIDAs are the fastest growing population in the U.S. This workshop shows activities for students to examine the cause and effect of various events and policies in U.S. history. This workshop also shows how Black American and APIDA histories are interconnected. Students will learn about cross-cultural solidarity. \nThis workshop is free for educators and will take place virtually. It will be facilitated by Laura Ouk.
