SUMMARY:Privileged but Powerless: How North Korean Elite Grievances Reveal the Regime’s Greatest Weakness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Dr. Jieun Baek\, author of “Privileged but Powerless: How North Korean Elite Grievances Reveal the Regime’s Greatest Weakness.” In conversation with policy director Jonathan Corrado\, Baek reveals a world of forbidden information\, simmering resentment\, and survival-driven masks\, based on hundreds of hours of interviews with high-level escapees. Baek argues that this performative loyalty\, born of fear and a desire to survive\, obscures a critical vulnerability within the regime’s core. In other words: the officials who seem most invested in preserving North Korea’s status quo may become its most dangerous disruptors\, not for ideological reasons but because of simmering resentment and vanishing alternatives.

SUMMARY:Chinese Experimental Architecture Or French Poststructuralist Theory
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, Chinese Experimental Architecture Or French Poststructuralist Theory\, Ruo Jia begins with a paradox: how the Chinese Cultural Revolution influenced French poststructuralist thought—and how that theory later returned to China and ultimately shaped experimental architectural practices. Focusing on the late 1990s and early 2000s\, Jia traces how these theoretical approaches reshaped one another across political and cultural divides.

SUMMARY:War and Fragile Peace: Geopolitics of Imperialism and Multipolarity in the Conflict over Iran
DESCRIPTION:The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has proved extremely controversial\, as it risks the lives of Iranians\, people across the Middle Eastern conflict zone\, and U.S. troops. Its impact on the nations of the Persian Gulf and global energy trade remains a cause for concern during the war and after the ceasefire. The choking of the Strait of Hormuz\, which carries 20% of global non-renewable energy supplies\, has driven up oil prices and caused significant disruptions for Asian nations that depend heavily on Gulf oil. The war\, launched without approval from the United Nations Security Council or the United States Congress\, is dividing public opinion in the global community\, including within the U.S. and its Western allies. Amidst shifting justifications for the war\, including the regime change in Iran as a desired U.S.-Israeli goal\, the regime in Iran has remained resilient; with support from Russia and China\, it seeks to negotiate with the US.. to end decades of isolation.  \nIn this talk\, Prof. Sumanth Inukonda (LaGuardia Community College/CUNY)\, speaks with media theorist Oliver Boyd-Barrett\, and presumptive 2026 Democratic candidate for Michigan’s 5th District U.S. House seat Christian Vukasovich\, about the implications of conflict over Iran for the world and America.

SUMMARY:Harnessing NYC's Natural Areas: Boosting Health and Well-Being by Connecting More New Yorkers to the City's Trails\, Forests\, and Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:New York City boasts more than 10\,000 acres of forests\, wetlands\, streams\, and other wild landscapes—providing access to nature for the millions of New Yorkers without the means to visit hiking trails or waterfronts in the Hudson Valley\, Long Island\, and beyond. These wild places are hugely important for the well-being of New Yorkers and their communities\, especially at a time when New Yorkers are more stressed\, more screen-bound\, and more disconnected than ever. But despite their enormous potential\, relatively few New Yorkers are even aware of the city’s natural areas and access to them is highly uneven. At the same time\, New York City’s natural areas are under growing strain\, compounded by inadequate resources and the impact of climate change. \nThis in-person policy forum will explore the vital role of natural areas in New York City\, and what’s needed to more fully harness these critical resources for New Yorkers. Panelists will discuss how to ensure far more New Yorkers know about\, have access to\, and feel comfortable exploring the city’s natural areas. The discussion will also delve into where investment is most needed to shore up maintenance and infrastructure needs across the city’s natural areas and advance creative ideas for unlocking more of their potential.

SUMMARY:Lee Kang So: A Field of Becoming
DESCRIPTION:Lee Kang So (b. 1943) has\, over the past five decades\, established a distinctive practice within Korean contemporary art. Working across a wide range of media since the 1970s\, he has consistently resisted fixed forms in order to examine how art comes into being. \nRather than presenting the artwork as a finished result\, Lee foregrounds the moment of its emergence and the conditions in which meaning is formed—reflecting a view of the world as something continuously shaped through change and relation. \nThis exhibition brings together works from the 1970s to the present\, tracing the continuity and transformation of his practice.

SUMMARY:The Model Minority Trap: How ‘Positive’ Stereotypes Harm Asian Americans
DESCRIPTION:The model minority stereotype is often dismissed as a “compliment” but creates real harm for Chinese Americans and Asian Americans more broadly. New data from the 2025 State of Chinese Americans survey reveals Chinese Americans who regularly encounter these assumptions report significantly more psychological distress than those who face no discrimination at all. These seemingly positive assumptions mask significant disparities—and the harm compounds. Join Committee of 100 for the third installment of our 2025 State of Chinese Americans webinar series\, featuring new survey data on how these “positive” stereotypes are associated with measurable psychological distress and mask significant mental health disparities within Asian American communities. Derald Wing Sue\, a pioneering researcher on racial microaggressions and Professor of Psychology and Education at Columbia University\, and Emma Zang\, a State of Chinese Americans researcher and Associate Professor of Sociology at Yale University\, will unpack why this stereotype persists\, who it hurts most\, and what practitioners and policymakers can do differently. This webinar is for anyone who has heard the model minority stereotype and wants to learn more about its consequences. Attendees will come away with new survey data and a deeper understanding of how this stereotype shapes mental health\, public attitudes\, and institutional blind spots\, and practical guidance for more culturally responsive engagement with Asian American communities.

SUMMARY:Hostile Architecture vs. Democratic Design for the Future
DESCRIPTION:Many new buildings and public spaces in New York City have been criticized for being hostile to the public. In fact\, “hostile architecture” is a term used by the media to describe an increasing feature in public spaces; for example\, benches with multiple arms to deter sleeping and limit use by homeless people. How can city spaces be more democratic and inclusive\, while also providing public safety? A panel of experts discusses the design of new developments\, parks\, plazas\, and buildings\, analyzing successes and failures\, with an eye towards what the public should demand in the future.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: The DeGrasse Family
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Prithi Kanakamedala as she reconstructs the 19th-century lives of the DeGrasse family! \n\n\n\n\nJoin the NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) each month for our virtual Lunch & Learn Series – an intimate conversation with agency staff and special guests focusing on the collections of the Municipal Archives and Library and the history of New York City. \nOn May 14th\, in commemoration of AANHPI Heritage Month\, Dr. Prithi Kanakamedala will reconstruct the life of the nineteenth-century DeGrasse family who had roots in India\, Africa\, the Caribbean\, and the U.S. (with a cameo appearance from Aaron Burr). \nQuintessential New Yorkers — multiracial\, multiethnic\, and multilingual — George DeGrasse and his family were committed to a vision of a more just city for all. Join us as Dr. Kanakamedala explores the possibility that the DeGrasse family represented an early Indo-Caribbean presence in New York and how their stories complicate our understanding of the city’s past.
