SUMMARY:Exhibit: Creating Kosher Chop Suey
DESCRIPTION:What happened when chop suey\, a Chinese dish with American roots\, encountered Jewish customers in New York at the turn of the century? A new Center for Women’s History installation in the Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Niche sheds light on the vibrant\, gastronomic collaboration between two ethnic communities. From debates in the Yiddish press to the publication of  kosher Chinese cookbooks\, and from representations in fine art to restaurant ephemera\, the installation explores how Jewish and Chinese women\, with a shared love for food\, together introduced a new phenomenon in the 1960s: kosher Chinese cuisine. Curated by Shiyong Lu\, Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Fellow in Women’s History and Public History\, and Anna Danziger Halperin\, Director for the Center for Women’s History.  \nImage: Gifford Reynolds Beal (1879–1956). Chinese Restaurant #1\, ca. 1930.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: The New York Sari: A Journey Through Tradition\, Fashion\, and Identity
DESCRIPTION:The New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City and how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress. \nThe New York Sari centers the sari as an essential part of the cultural fabric of New York City\, using it as a metaphor for the ways in which the individuals who wear and create saris have straddled tradition\, culture\, and modernity in their work\, art\, and lives. The exhibition tells the stories of who wears saris\, the relationship between saris and identities\, and how they’ve evolved over time. \nThe New York Sari showcases the deep influence that South Asians have had on the culture of New York City from the Gilded Age to the present day\, beginning with the little known history of Coney Island’s first theme park and culminating with the vibrant communities that are home to the South Asian diaspora today. Offering a unique history of migrant communities and gender in New York City\, the exhibition explores how individuals have drawn strength from tradition while looking clearly towards a bolder future of inclusion and progress.

SUMMARY:Panel: Is Deglobalization Inevitable?
DESCRIPTION:Is the current movement towards deglobalization just part of a cycle that has had its ups and downs\, or are we in a structural movement towards a more permanent isolation of countries from a trade and economic point of view? \nThe topic of deglobalization has never been more prominent than it is today. The topic has been elevated in importance for some time now as we have seen dramatic changes in country trade practices\, relative manufacturing and service strengths\, economic trends\, and political positions. The tariff situation brought about by the U.S. recently has made it even more consequential today. \nNobel Prize-winning economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz will open with a fireside chat on the evening’s central issue\, followed by a lively debate between two leading experts: Professor Walden Bello\, credited with coining the term “deglobalization\,” and Professor Edward Ashbee. They’ll present opposing views in a traditional debate format—opening statements\, rebuttals\, and closing remarks. \nThe audience will vote electronically before and after the debate to see how opinions shift. \nIs Deglobalization Inevitable?\nTuesday\, September 23 | Online\n5:30 PM ET Keynote | 6:15 PM ET Debate

SUMMARY:Understanding AI with Data & Society | The Environmental Costs of AI Are Surging—What Now? (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Researcher Tamara Kneese speaks with environmental justice researcher Sanjana Paul and critical social scientist Jasmine McNealy about the environmental toll AI development is taking on local water supplies\, energy systems\, and communities around the world. \nThis event will take place online and in person at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on the 7th Floor \nArtificial intelligence technologies run on powerful computers that require vast amounts of energy\, water\, and critical minerals. As AI use grows\, so does its environmental footprint. Yet there is little consensus on how to assess and address the technology’s toll on the climate before irreparable damage is done. How can we understand the impact AI data centers have on communities and the environment? How can we ensure that communities are able to use empirical data about those impacts to fight back? \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nTamara Kneese is the director of Data & Society’s Climate\, Technology\, and Justice program. Previously\, she led Data & Society’s Algorithmic Impacts Lab (AIMLab). Tamara’s research juxtaposes histories of computing and automation with ethnographies of platform labor. Her first book\, Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond\, was published by Yale University Press in 2023. \nJasmine McNealy is an attorney\, critical public interest technologist\, and social scientist who studies emerging media & technology with a view toward influencing law and policy. An internationally recognized scholar\, her research is interdisciplinary\, centered at the intersection of media\, technology\, policy\, and law. Of particular focus are the areas of privacy\, surveillance\, and data governance and emphasizing technological and the impacts on marginalized and vulnerable communities. She is a professor at the University of Florida where she directs the Infrastructure for Communities\, Ecology for Data Hub (ICED Hub)\, which annually hosts the Rural x AI + Policy Workshop. She is also Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. \nSanjana Paul is an engineer\, environmental justice researcher\, and systems thinker working at the intersection of infrastructure\, climate\, and technology. She is a PhD student at MIT\, where her research focuses on renewable energy\, energy justice\, and the electric grid. She is the co-founder of Rooted Futures Lab\, a research and action collective advancing environmental justice in technology\, and Earth Hacks\, a nonprofit harnessing hackathons as a form of climate action. Her work has ranged from atmospheric science software engineering at NASA to passing decarbonization policy at the local level. She holds a BS in electrical engineering and physics\, and a Master’s in City Planning from MIT.
