SUMMARY:Grounds of Displacement: The 2026 A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group Symposium
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Pre-registration for Thursday is now closed. Please feel free to attend and we will register you onsite.  \n  \nPresented by the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group. Hosted by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU.\nKeynote by Professor Mingwei Huang\, Dartmouth College \nThe current administration of the United States has bombastically escalated two constitutive strategies of imperial expansion: extraction and displacement. Through trade and border wars\, arms and chips races\, US promises of power and prosperity have become inextricable from a hardened national security vocabulary of critical mineral resources\, alien enemies\, and unbounded technological progress. \nTo scholars of Asian/Pacific/American studies\, these contemporary trends do not break new ground for US empire\, but rather renew its foundational forms. The lust for rare earths extends the rapacity of westward expansion through the continued dispossession of Indigenous nations and exploitation of enslaved and racialized labor. The weaponization of artificial intelligence in border and citizenship regimes reiterates the modern security state’s emergence through the criminalization of migrant workers and radical political movements. Fortifying the boundaries of the nation and scouring the depths of the earth may produce new commodities and technological breakthroughs\, but these processes remain rooted in enduring logics of racial capitalism and settler colonialism.  \nThe A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group’s 2026 symposium\, “Grounds of Displacement\,” highlights interdisciplinary scholarship that examines the structures of accumulation\, removal\, extraction\, and dehumanization that have shaped Asian/Pacific/American worlds through the construction of global empires and superpowers. A series of panels featuring graduate students from across the US\, and a keynote by Professor Mingwei Huang (Dartmouth College) will explore these topics. \n  \nThe A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group is an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary working group for graduate students from local universities interested in and/or working on Asian/Pacific/American studies broadly defined. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID. NYU guests must present their NYU ID. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users.

SUMMARY:"Divas\, Drag Queens\, Aunties\, and Other Academic Personas" with Kareem Khubchandani
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the NYU Program in XE: Experimental Humanities & Social Engagement. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality\, and NYU Department of Art & Public Policy. \nRSVP (open to the NYU community) \nWhere the scholar’s body is often obscured in preference for their mind\, evacuating the body from academic labor is a luxury rarely available to queer people of color. This talk explores the possibilities of self-fashioning in the academy for minoritarian subjects. Tracing his trajectory across various intellectual projects—queer South Asian nightlife\, global drag\, representations of the aunty—Kareem Khubchandani explores the co-constitutive relationships between research\, teaching\, and artistry\, between ethnography\, analysis\, pedagogy\, and performance. \nKareem Khubchandani is the author of the award-winning books Decolonize Drag and Ishtyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife. He is also co-editor of the Lambda Literary-nominated Queer Nightlife\, guest editor of Text and Performance Quarterly’s “Critical Aunty Studies\,” and associate editor for GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies. Kareem is Associate Professor of theater\, dance\, and performance studies at Tufts University and FO Matthiessen Visiting Associate Professor of Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Harvard University. His new book\, Lessons in Drag: A Queer Manual for Academics\, Artists\, and Aunties is now out from Brandeis University Press. \nHosted by XE Faculty Fellow Alisha Cherian. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the NYU community only. Registration is required. \nAccessibility note: This venue is located on the fourth floor and is accessible via elevator. For accommodation requests\, we ask that you email xe@nyu.edu at least seven days before the event.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: The Health Impacts of Immigration Policy
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: This event has been postponed\, and will be rescheduled in Spring 2027. \nPresented by the NYU Migration Network. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nHeld monthly over the semester\, these public conversations bring together scholars\, artists\, and practitioners for cross-disciplinary exchanges to develop and refine understandings of migration and mobility\, its histories\, and its political stakes. With migration so sensationalized by much of the media\, these conversations are a rare opportunity to invite the public to engage with questions of migration and mobility in a nuanced\, thoughtful\, and analytical manner. \nThis conversation on “The Health Impacts of Immigration Policy” will feature Maria Elena de Trinidad Young (UCLA) and Laura Wherry (NYU). \n  \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. \nAccessibility note: If you have any access needs\, please email migration-network@nyu.edu. \n  \nMaria Elena de Trinidad Young\, PhD\, MPH\, is an affiliate at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and an assistant professor at UC Merced. Young focuses on the impact of the US immigration system on the health of immigrant populations. Her research examines the relationship between health inequities and factors such as citizenship and legal status and state and local policies. Her current research seeks to understand the various structural\, institutional\, and individual mechanisms that link policy with health outcomes. \nYoung was formerly the project director of the NIH-funded Research on Immigrant Health and State Policy (RIGHTS) Study which seeks to understand the experiences of Latino and Asian immigrants in California in the areas of health care\, social services\, employment\, education\, and law enforcement and how these experiences have had an impact on their health and access to health care. Young was also the Chancellor’s postdoctoral fellow at UC Merced where she lead a study to examine how media coverage of immigration policy may influence immigrant well-being. \nLaura Wherry is an associate professor at NYU Wagner and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in the Economics of Health program. During the 2024-25 academic year\, she served as the senior economist for health care on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. Her research focuses on the role of public programs and policies on the health and economic well-being of individuals in the US. She has a particular interest in policies that affect access to health care for women and children in lower income families. \nImage: U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations following the implementation of Title 42 USC 265 at the northern and southern land borders\, March 22\, 2020\, photograph by Jerry Glaser.

SUMMARY:Asian Americans and STEM Conference 2026: Science in a De-Globalizing World
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Yale University Asian Americans and STEM. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, NYU Department of Social and Cultural Analysis\, NYU Computer Science Department\, and NYU Tandon School of Engineering; The City University of New York; Yale Center for the Study of Race\, Indigeneity\, and Transnational Migration\, Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science (SEAS)\, Asian Faculty Association at Yale\, and Yale Global Data Justice at the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies.  \nREGISTER \nAsian American scientists simultaneously occupy the precarious and contradictory position of the successful “model minority” to be celebrated and the grave “security threat” to be contained and expelled from the nation. Our project led by a cross-disciplinary team of scholars in the fields of Asian American studies\, physics\, and computer science aim to bring a humanities-driven inquiry into understanding the historical and current experience of Asian American scientists as shaped by the histories of US and European imperialism\, Asian exclusion and racial formation\, as well as global geopolitics of war and economic disruption. We see our work creating a new model of cross-disciplinary scholarship which addresses the scientific research undertaken by Asian American scholars in their respective fields and institutions as well as examines the ways in which their work has been remembered\, obfuscated\, or erased in standard histories of discovery and invention. \nThe stakes of our research could not be higher as we continue to see news headlines of Asian American science educators\, researchers\, and technical workers detained and deported and a lack of recognition of Asian American scientists as crucial to the successes of their respective fields. Our project also contributes to the fields of Asian American studies\, history\, history of science\, and science and technology studies which have generated little scholarship to understand the ways in which US and global scientific cultures and knowledge production have been shaped by Asian American scientists as knowledge workers. Instead\, Asian American subjects largely appear in these fields as the objects of scientific research rather than agents of inquiry. \nNYU campus access guidelines:This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. Non-NYU guests may be asked to present a government-issued photo ID. NYU guests must present their NYU ID. \nAccessibility note: For accommodation requests\, please email AsianAmSTEM@yale.edu at least seven days before the event. \n  \nPhotograph by David Baillot/UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering is licensed under CC BY 2.0.
