SUMMARY:Play - Chinese Republicans
DESCRIPTION:Coming to Roundabout this winter\, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin\, directed by Chay Yew.  \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.   \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice\, and tells a truly American story.

SUMMARY:The Labor of Being a Guest
DESCRIPTION:So you want to attend a professional conference being held in Hawaiʻi. You’re a self-reflective enough scholar to recognize that such a trip may merit some ethical reckoning given the past and present realities of settler colonialism in Hawaiʻi. What do you do? This webinar does not offer one answer as to how to be an ethical conference tourist in Hawaiʻi\, or any other place. Rather\, this webinar offers those interested in this question some models of how to be in relation to place and people in Hawaiʻi. This webinar asks participants to learn Kanaka Maoli cultural protocol (specifically oli mahalo\, a chant of gratitude) and to listen to a frank discussion between Dr. Monisha Das Gupta\, Dr. Nohelani Teves\, and Dr. Maile Arvin which will range across themes of conference tourism\, tokenizing Kanaka Maoli thought on Asian American Studies syllabi\, and how our commitments to being in good relation to Hawaiʻi are lessons that can be applied and practiced everywhere. \nZoom Link:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94689402342?pwd=Ax89mi2VRSlrM8icd30wych96zb8HZ.1\nJoin by SIP\n94689402342@zoomcrc.com\nMeeting ID: 946 8940 2342\nPasscode: 723975

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Fight for Women’s Rights
DESCRIPTION:In Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life\, historian Ellen Carol DuBois presents a definitive portrait of one of the most influential figures in the American struggles for women’s suffrage and rights. From the 1840s until her death in 1902\, Stanton fought for women’s emancipation\, advocating on issues that went far beyond the vote. Drawing on archival research and Stanton’s writings\, DuBois traces her advocacy for reproductive rights\, marriage reform\, and challenges to religious hierarchies\, while also examining Stanton’s conflicts with Black reformers and her support of nativist ideas—highlighting the contradictions that continue to complicate her legacy. \nDuBois\, in conversation with legal scholar Julie Suk\, discusses the reformer whose words still provoke—and whose struggles helped shape contemporary feminism.

SUMMARY:Exihibition - In Transit\, In Formation (Opening Reception)
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together four artists—Kakyoung Lee\, Buhm Hong\, Hong Seon Jang\, and Sun You—whose practices unfold between movement and becoming. Transit functions as a condition of passage through time\, labor\, and cultural frameworks\, while formation describes processes through which forms and identities take shape without closure. Working across sculpture\, installation\, animation\, and video\, the artists operate within these open-ended conditions\, occupying a dual state: always en route\, and at the same time\, becoming something else.  \nThese four artists share more than a generational proximity. Based in New York and shaped by contemporary Korean diasporic conditions\, they have remained in ongoing dialogue for over a decade—observing one another’s practices\, exchanging questions\, and developing their work independently\, yet in close awareness of one another. The exhibition emerges from a sustained familiarity\, where distinct practices have evolved over time along parallel trajectories.

SUMMARY:Alliance at a Crossroads: America’s Transformation and Japan’s Strategy
DESCRIPTION:The U.S.-Japan alliance now stands at a crossroads. Under an America First approach\, Japan is being called upon to take a more active role in supporting regional and global stability. President Trump and Prime Minister Takaichi met in Japan last October\, reaffirming their shared commitment to advancing toward a New Golden Age for the U.S.-Japan Alliance. With the two leaders expected to meet again this spring\, attention is turning to how the alliance should adapt to a changing international environment. At a time when coordination among middle powers is gaining attention\, how should Japan shape and strengthen its partnership with the United States? Drawing on analysis from his recently published book\, Joshua W. Walker\, President and CEO of Japan Society\, will discuss how Japan can strategically leverage its soft power\, including omotenashi\, while enhancing its presence and influence in the international community through the U.S.-Japan alliance.

SUMMARY:The Ozu Diaries
DESCRIPTION:During his lifetime\, director Yasujiro Ozu maintained a trove of personal diaries that reveal a remarkably intimate side of the legendary filmmaker. Pulling from essays\, home movies\, archival photos\, and recollections of Ozu-gumi (Ozu staff/collaborators) like Kogo Noda and Kinuyo Tanaka\, The Ozu Diaries attempts to unmask the mystique surrounding Ozu’s persona. With fascinating anecdotes—such as Ozu hearing a rumor that Setsuko Hara could not act prior to working with her—and contributions by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Wim Wenders\, The Ozu Diaries offers a glimpse of one of cinema’s greatest masters\, an auto portrait told through his own words. \nDir. Daniel Raim\, 2025\, 140 min. DCP\, color\, in Japanese\, English\, Chinese\, French with English subtitles. With Kiyoshi Kurosawa\, Wim Wenders\, Tsai Ming-liang\, Kyoko Kagawa. \nGet 25% off when you purchase a ticket for The Ozu Diaries and Late Autumn in the same transaction ($8 off non-members / $5 off for members)!

SUMMARY:Sacred Paper: Korean Ritual Arts + DEMONSTRATIONS
DESCRIPTION:Korea’s ritual paper arts reveal a remarkably inventive tradition in which humble mulberry paper becomes an expressive material of extraordinary range. Sacred Paper: Korean Ritual Arts highlights two regional practices that transform fragile fibers into complex sculptural forms. In Chungcheongnam-do\, the Seolwi Seolgyeong tradition creates intricate cut-paper structures that define and organize ceremonial space. Artist Jongseung Park demonstrates how paper can be shaped into protective architectural forms through precise cutting\, layering\, and assembly. Along the East Sea Coast\, Dr. Heera Shin presents folded flowers\, lanterns\, and ornaments that animate ritual settings with color and movement. Shown together\, these works celebrate paper’s versatility\, regional diversity\, and enduring craftsmanship. \nThis exhibition is curated by Jinyoung Anna Jin\, the director of Asian art and culture at the Charles B. Wang Center\, and the Academic Center for K-Religions at Sogang University in Seoul. \nThe exhibition and related public programs are sponsored by the Academy of Korean Studies and the Korea Foundation.

SUMMARY:Supporting Queer Arab/SWANA Americans in Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION: “Queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans are a rich\, vibrant\, and diverse community\, yet\, are marginalized within multiple contexts. Anti-Arab\, anti-immigrant\, and cisheteronormative structural norms and policies in the United States intersect with intense cultural and religious beliefs about the incompatibility of sexual and gender diversity and Arab/SWANA identity” (Alsamadi\, 2025\, p.1). Consequently\, queer Arab/SWANA Americans may seek psychotherapy for support in managing stress related to intersectional oppression and disenfranchisement (Alsamadi\, 2025; Chaney et al.\, 2020; Habhab\, 2018; Ikizler & Szymanski\, 2014; Khatib et al.\, 2023). \nThe unique needs of this population are rendered invisible in psychology training programs and continuing education programming. As such\, this workshop will teach attendees (1) relevant cultural values within Arab/SWANA communities; (2) common themes in psychotherapy with queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans; and (3) how the Keeping Radical Healing in Mind (KRHM; Adames et al.\, 2023) therapeutic approach is relevant to queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans. The workshop will conclude with a collaborative case example where attendees will apply the KRHM therapeutic approach to a composite clinical case of a queer second-generation Arab/SWANA American client.
