“Asian Americans in New York: Film & Literature”

Immersive Program Examining Race and Identity Hosted in Nation’s Most Diverse and Rapidly Growing Asian American Urban Community

The Asian American Studies Program at Hunter College, CUNY invites K-12 school teachers to apply for “Asian Americans in New York: Film & Literature,” a summer seminar for school teachers funded through a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. A select cohort of sixteen educators from throughout the US will participate in this unique, immersive program, through which they will develop teaching tools to engage the diverse student populations in their home states around ideas of race, immigration and identity. New York City, that multicultural urban social laboratory that has for centuries acted as the crucible from which American identity has been shaped and challenged, is home to the nation’s densest urban Asian American population, and will offer a lens into the larger sociopolitical and cultural shifts that the US is facing.

The two-week seminar, hosted in the heart of Manhattan at Hunter College, CUNY, will meet from July 5-17, 2015 for morning, afternoon, and occasional evening sessions, with readings, lectures and seminar discussions interwoven with relevant field visits and conversations with novelists, filmmakers, artists and community leaders. The seminar will be co-directed by Jennifer Hayashida, Director of the Asian American Studies Program at Hunter College, CUNY, and Chi-hui Yang, film curator, educator, and former director of the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. A stipend to help cover expenses, including travel, accommodations, and food, is provided to all participants.

Desired applicants are middle and high school English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Art instructors with a pedagogical interest in ethnic literature/film and contemporary issues around multiculturalism, racial diversity, immigration, citizenship, and national identity. The program is particularly eager to welcome summer scholars from states with limited or very concentrated Asian American populations, although it encourages all interested parties to apply. Please visit http://asianamericanyc.hunter.cuny.edu for more information, including the reading list and daily schedule. The deadline for applications is March 2, 2015

Fletcher Summer Institute 2015 in Massachusetts, USA

Posted on by
Reply

Deadline:  16 February 2015
Open to: journalists, policy analysts, civil society leaders, activists, scholars, and educators
Venue: June 7-12, 2015, The Fletcher School, Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Description

The Fletcher Summer Institute for the Advanced Study of Nonviolent Conflict (FSI) is the leading executive education program in the world focusing on the advanced, interdisciplinary study of civil resistance.

Civil resistance campaigns for rights, freedom, and justice are capturing the world’s attention as never before. Campaigns to protect democracy in Hong Kong, for women’s rights in India, for indigenous rights in Latin America, for police accountability in the United States, against violence in Mexico, against corruption in Cambodia, against growing autocracy in Ukraine and against dictatorship in Burkina Faso are all examples in the last year of a profound global shift in how political power is developed and applied.

Since 2006, over 400 participants from more than 90 countries have gathered at FSI to learn and share knowledge. The program is taught by leading international scholars, practitioners, organizers and activists from past and current struggles. It provides both a firm academic grasp of the subject of civil resistance as well as a practical understanding of the use of nonviolent struggle in a variety of conflicts for a wide range of goals.

Organized in conjunction with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, the program offers a certificate in the Advanced Study of Nonviolent Conflict.

Eligibility

Over the last decade, people have increasingly waged civil resistance for rights, freedom, and justice in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Oceania.  Movements struggling for democracy, environmental preservation, anti-corruption initiatives, women’s rights, indigenous rights, labor rights, an end to violent conflict, or other causes are actively shaping societies, nations, and international affairs.
Accordingly it is increasingly important for journalists, policy analysts, civil society leaders, activists, scholars, and educators to understand this phenomenon. Civil resistance movements are not studied in most schools or university programs, are under-recognized in most history books and contemporary news media, and there are widespread misconceptions about what they are and how they work. FSI brings together prominent scholars, experienced veterans of previous civil resistance movements, and well-informed journalists and civil society observers of such events to provide in-depth knowledge.

Costs &Scholarships

ICNC covers food, accommodation, educational materials, and other expenses. Participant registration fees help offset costs of the institute, and are based on a scale ranging from $500 to $2000, depending on the annual budget of the organization or department with which you are affiliated. Please refer to the following scale to determine your registration fee. The figure on the left represents the organizational or department annual budget.

 $1500 USD

*Includes unaffiliated individuals.
The FSI registration fee is the only charge requested. Accommodation, all meals, and learning materials for the entire institute are paid by ICNC. Accommodation is in the dormitories at Tufts University and meals are arranged through Tufts University.
In addition to the FSI registration fee, participants or their sponsoring organizations are expected to cover their own travel expenses to and from Boston, MA. However, if an applicant or sponsoring organization cannot afford to pay these costs, need-based scholarships are available and can be applied for in your FSI application.

SEARAC’S 16TH ANNUAL LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY TRAINING (LAT)

Posted on by
Reply
The Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC) is excited to announce our 16th annual Leadership and Advocacy Training (LAT) for emerging leaders from Southeast Asian American communities and their allies!

This year’s LAT will be held in Washington, DC from April 27 – 29, 2015. The LAT program provides a forum for Southeast Asian American community leaders to participate in activities and workshops that include collective strategizing, networking, advocacy, and relationship building with decision makers on issues that impact the Southeast Asian American community.

 

In the past, participants have included staff of community-based organizations, individual leaders, and students from high school, undergraduate, and graduate programs. The LAT program is intended for emerging leaders and members of Southeast Asian American communities who want to learn more about policy and advocacy. Although the training is tailored to Southeast Asian Americans, it is also open to individuals working to elevate the voices of Southeast Asian American communities.
Add a description

 

The LAT trains participants to become advocacy leaders in their communities, and is best suited for community members hoping to learn more about education, health, and immigration policy, effective communication and framing, and creating system-level change. Participants will take a deep dive into their own personal experiences as a foundation for identifying both issues and solutions, and have the opportunity to network with other change-makers from across the country.

 

SEARAC will cover the majority of travel and lodging expenses for accepted applicants living outside of the Washington, DC area, but participants may be responsible for a portion of their travel costs.
