SUMMARY:Mass Surveillance and the ICE Crackdown: What the AAPI Community Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Masked\, heavily armed federal agents are roaming through American neighborhoods aggressively targeting anyone they feel does not belong\, often using race and ethnicity as a factor to determine who is selected for arrest\, detention\, and deportation. News reports indicate that Immigration agents are using advanced technological tools and electronic surveillance authorities to create and exploit vast intelligence databases to further the Trump administration’s mass deportation policy.  Adding urgency to these concerns\, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — one of the government’s most powerful surveillance tools — is set to expire on April 20\, 2026\, and the outcome of its reauthorization will have profound implications for the civil liberties of all Americans.

SUMMARY:Trey Trahan: Bridging Cultures\, Building Community
DESCRIPTION:Featuring acclaimed architect Trey Trahan In-Person. \nNew Orleans-based architecture firm Trahan Architects is known for their rooted approach to architecture—expressing the unique cultural\, historical and ecological characteristics of the places they build. During frequent visits to Japan\, Founder & CEO Trey Trahan\, FAIA\, has developed a passion and deep reverence for Japanese art and culture. Throughout his visits\, he’s also discovered the numerous parallels between the shared ecologies of his native state of Louisiana and Japan that have permeated his firm’s approach to architecture. He and his firm have been celebrated for their depth of research\, dedication to craft\, sensitivity to the landscape and innovative material applications—all heavily influenced by Japanese traditions.  \nWhen he was invited to interview for the design of the U.S.A. Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka\, it was a dream come true. Having amassed a large collection of Japanese artifacts and artwork and developed many personal friendships over the years\, his enthusiasm and connections won his firm the commission. Throughout the Expo’s six-month tenure\, the U.S.A. Pavilion was consistently one of the most popular—drawing average crowds of 10\,000 people per day and welcoming the world to experience the wonders of the United States of America through the narrative aesthetic lens of its host country.  \nTonight\, Trey will guide us through how his relationship with Japanese sensibilities—embracing chance\, focusing on materiality and exercising a quiet restraint—helped guide his firm’s design for the U.S.A. Pavilion and continues to resonate in their work.

SUMMARY:Passing the Torch: Succession Planning for Community Media
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Amy Kovac-Ashley\, Executive Directory\, Tiny News Collective \nSuccession planning is one of the most overlooked yet critical challenges facing community and ethnic media today. In an era of shrinking local news coverage and growing news deserts\, the lack of a clear plan for leadership transition can threaten the survival of entire news outlets. When publishers or newsroom leaders retire or pass away without a succession plan\, communities risk losing vital sources of information altogether.

SUMMARY:5th Annual CUNY LGBTQI+ Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s theme\, Beyond the Rainbow: Centering Marginalized Voices in the LGBTQI+ Community\, invites us to look past surface-level representation and visibility to engage in deeper\, more meaningful dialogue about equity\, inclusion\, and intersectionality within our community. While the rainbow flag symbolizes unity and pride\, it also challenges us to recognize that not all experiences within the LGBTQI+ spectrum are equally seen or valued. \nBeyond the Rainbow encourages participants to explore the diverse identities and lived experiences that shape our collective story\, including those of transgender and nonbinary individuals\, queer people of color\, people with disabilities\, immigrants\, and others whose voices are often pushed to the margins. Through workshops\, panels\, and storytelling\, we aim to amplify these perspectives\, spark honest conversations\, and strengthen solidarity across differences.

SUMMARY:2026 Asian Americans and STEM Conference: Science in a De-globalizing World
DESCRIPTION:Led by a cross-disciplinary team from Asian American Studies\, Physics\, and Computer Science\, this project examines the contradictory position of Asian American scientists as both celebrated “model minorities” and perceived security threats. By integrating humanities-driven inquiry with scientific history\, the initiative uncovers how U.S. and European imperialism\, racial exclusion\, and global geopolitics have shaped the experiences of these researchers. The work seeks to reclaim the narratives of Asian American scientists\, moving them from passive objects of study to recognized agents of discovery whose contributions have often been erased or obfuscated in standard histories. \nBuilding on an inaugural 2024 conference at Yale that drew over 100 participants\, the project is expanding its reach through a second one-day symposium in collaboration with NYU and CUNY. These events foster critical dialogue on racialization and professionalization within STEM fields across the 20th and 21st centuries. The upcoming symposium continues this mission of addressing the lack of recognition for Asian American technical workers and is open to all individuals interested in the intersection of race\, history\, and scientific production.

SUMMARY:Turang - an Indonesian Film Forum screening
DESCRIPTION:Indonesian Film Forum is proud to present the US East Coast premiere of Bachtiar Siagian’s Turang (1957) – a seminal piece of Indonesian film history\, rediscovered in 2023 after having declared lost for many years. \nTurang centers a love story between Batak Karo villager Tipi and Indonesian freedom fighter Rusli during Indonesia’s fight for independence from Dutch colonial rule. It is a document of Indonesian post-colonial cinema that colors a world beyond the military-centric independence narratives we often see. Turang displays Bachtiar Siagian’s neorealist streak and sincerity in telling the story of the Karo people\, which also reflects his work as a member of LEKRA and the head of the 1964 Afro-Asian Film Festival – a film initiative stemming from the 1955 Afro-Asian conference in Bandung. A majority of Bachtiar Siagian’s films remains unseen to the contemporary audience\, as LEKRA members were exiled or imprisoned after the 1965-66 anti-communist purge and Suharto’s presidency that emerged after.

SUMMARY:AAPI Celebration: On Confluences and Connections by Sangamithra Iyer
DESCRIPTION:Sangamithra Iyer will read from and discuss her debut book\, Governing Bodies: A Memoir\, a Confluence\, a Watershed. Governing Bodies connects family history\, ecological grief\, the lives of animals\, and the memory of water in a lyrical meditation on lineages of nonviolence. In it\, Iyer also wrestles with how we live with the legacy of historical harms and how we address the current moment of multiple worldwide crises. The book sits at the confluence of prose and poetry\, science and art\, and personal and planetary sorrow\, and draws from Iyer’s work at the intersections of engineering\, writing and activism.

SUMMARY:Association for Asian American Studies 2026 Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Our 2026 AAAS gathering in Hawai‘i coincides with a series of anniversaries that present a timely opportunity to consider the promises and limits of Asian American Studies from the belly of the U.S. imperial beast. Here we’re especially thinking about how 2026 marks the semiquincentennial of the United States’ declaration of independence from the British Empire and the birth of its own world historic imperial vision that extended its reach from the Atlantic into the Pacific; the 50th anniversary of the first “landing” that liberated the island of Kaho‘olawe from decades of U.S. Navy live-fire bombing\, a Kanaka Maoli-led effort that helped spark the modern sovereignty movement; and the 80th anniversary of the Great Hawai‘i Sugar Strike\, an island-wide\, interethnic\, working-class shutdown of the plantation industry.
