Funded by the Luce Foundation, Prof. Nerve Macaspac will discuss a collaborative four-year project to establish a Southeast Asian Studies network in the State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) systems. The SUNY/CUNY Southeast Asia Consortium (SEAC) is an interdisciplinary initiative to promote research, teaching, and related efforts around Southeast Asia and Southeast Asian Americans in New York’s public universities.
We invite students, scholars, and/or practitioners, within and outside of CUNY, to share their innovative research and creative works, pedagogical projects, programmatic efforts, models for organizing and activism, and other activities at CUNY that address critical issues in Asian American studies and/or communities.
