2019 CUNY Conference on Citizenship, Belonging, and Identity in the Age of White Nationalism

May 23, 2024May 8, 2019 By AAARI

Taking into account considerations of immigration, race, gender, and diaspora, AAARI’s 2019 annual conference asks: What does the meteoric rise of Trumpian racist white nationalism say about the nature of systemic racism in our country today? Why is it now primarily and explicitly rooted in anti-Mexican and anti-Muslim nativist racism, and where do Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) — their diverse ethnic groups — fit (or not fit) in these citizenship orders? How has the higher education research community and the activist community collaborated and how can they continue to strategically collaborate together?

The Weight We Carry: Navigating Family, Culture & Personal Agency

November 6, 2018November 2, 2018 By AAARI

This conference will explore and allow women to share their experiences in navigating family, culture, and personal agency. We hope to engage in an open, candid discussion around the complex relationships we may have with our families and cultures, and the practices we can utilize to work through the challenges we currently face and might encounter. Within this conversation, this conference will also provide participants with direction in strategizing around available resources and opportunities as they set out and work towards their short-term and long-term goals.

Leading Women (Summer Conference)

November 6, 2018June 9, 2018 By AAARI

This summer conference hopes to facilitate a collaborative dialogue around how we can plan and realistically achieve our long-term goals and dreams. As people with busy lives, we often find that we do not have enough time to sit and reflect on our future. This conference provides student participants a space to reflect and discuss their personal goals and career ambitions, while strategizing adaptable practices that can help them work towards those goals. Some questions to be explored are: What do our dreams look like? How can we realistically and pragmatically achieve them? How do we navigate familial and cultural expectations while still exercising our own agency?
