SUMMARY:Join Potluck Asian America at Performance of Chinese Republicans with Talkback - $20 Tickets
DESCRIPTION:Join Potluck Asian America at a special community performance of Chinese Republicans and a post show discussion with guest panelists\, Alex Lin and David Henry Hwang.   $20 Tickets\nChinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Playwright Alex Lin and Award-Winning Director Chay Yew. \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder. \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice and tells a truly American story. \nThis performance includes a “pay what you wish” option starting at $20. Availability is limited and we encourage early RSVPs. \nCast: Jennifer Ikeda\, Ben Langhorst\, Jully Lee\, Jodi Long\, Anna Zavelson \nHarold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre\, Laura Pels Theatre\, 111 West 46th Street\, New York\, NY

SUMMARY:Ethics: The Labor of Being a Guest in Hawai'i
DESCRIPTION:So you want to attend a professional conference being held in Hawaiʻi. You’re a self-reflective enough scholar to recognize that such a trip may merit some ethical reckoning given the past and present realities of settler colonialism in Hawaiʻi. What do you do? This webinar does not offer one answer as to how to be an ethical conference tourist in Hawaiʻi\, or any other place. Rather\, this webinar offers those interested in this question some models of how to be in relation to place and people in Hawaiʻi. This webinar asks participants to learn Kanaka Maoli cultural protocol (specifically oli mahalo\, a chant of gratitude) and to listen to a frank discussion between Dr. Monisha Das Gupta\, Dr. Nohelani Teves\, and Dr. Maile Arvin which will range across themes of conference tourism\, tokenizing Kanaka Maoli thought on Asian American Studies syllabi\, and how our commitments to being in good relation to Hawaiʻi are lessons that can be applied and practiced everywhere. \nZoom Link:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94689402342?pwd=Ax89mi2VRSlrM8icd30wych96zb8HZ.1\nJoin by SIP\n94689402342@zoomcrc.com\nMeeting ID: 946 8940 2342\nPasscode: 723975 \nPre Conference Webinar Series & Resources

SUMMARY:Art Exihibition – In Transit\, In Formation (Opening Reception)
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together four artists—Kakyoung Lee\, Buhm Hong\, Hong Seon Jang\, and Sun You—whose practices unfold between movement and becoming. Transit functions as a condition of passage through time\, labor\, and cultural frameworks\, while formation describes processes through which forms and identities take shape without closure. Working across sculpture\, installation\, animation\, and video\, the artists operate within these open-ended conditions\, occupying a dual state: always en route\, and at the same time\, becoming something else. \nThese four artists share more than a generational proximity. Based in New York and shaped by contemporary Korean diasporic conditions\, they have remained in ongoing dialogue for over a decade—observing one another’s practices\, exchanging questions\, and developing their work independently\, yet in close awareness of one another. The exhibition emerges from a sustained familiarity\, where distinct practices have evolved over time along parallel trajectories.

Filled with culinary storytelling\, The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook highlights these farmers and their spices with profiles and evocative photography\, plus 85 recipes for simple\, seasonal\, and powerfully delicious meals. \nCEO and founder Sana Javeri Kadri and recipe writer Asha Loupy realized that eating with the people who grow our spices unveils a whole new dimension in our cooking. For instance\, the Mir family\, who works all year to grow and harvest their saffron\, shared not only their technique for blooming the vibrant spice and how to make sure every thread is fully utilized\, but their unforgettably delicious dishes. Adapted for a global pantry\, these recipes share the warmth of true South Asian home cooking at its truest and tastiest\, starting with chutneys & pickles\, snacks\, and veggies\, traveling through to mains from the sea and from the land\, rice and breads\, and ending with drinks and desserts. \n  \nSana Javeri Kadri is the founder of Diaspora Spice Co\, a direct trade spice company building a radically equitable\, sustainable\, and more delicious spice supply chain. Born and raised in Mumbai\, India\, in a big\, mixed-up Muslim-Jain-Hindu family where food was the great unifier. She founded Diaspora Spice Co. in 2017 with a bold vision and a shoestring budget. Since then\, it has grown exponentially\, now working with more than 150 regenerative farms across India and Sri Lanka\, paying $3.1 million directly to farm partners over the past 6.5 years\, and bringing 27 single-origin spices and 13 bestselling blends to the world. With over 125\,000 customers globally and products stocked in 525+ retail stores across the US and UK\, the company is reshaping the spice trade—one fair\, flavorful\, and transparently sourced spice at a time. Sana currently splits her time between Mumbai\, India\, and Menlo Park\, California\, continuing to push for a food system that values the farmers and flavor at its foundation. \nAsha Loupy is an Oakland-based food writer\, recipe developer\, and co-author of The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook. She worked in the specialty food industry—from cheesemonger to grocery buyer—for over a decade before joining Diaspora Spice Co. in 2020\, where she served as Recipe Editor for 5+ years. She has contributed to cookbooks like Dan Pashman’s Anything’s Pastable and Joe Yonan’s Mastering the Art of Plant-Based Cooking\, in addition to publications like Bon Appétit\, Food52\, The Kitchn\, The Washington Post\, and Epicurious. You can also find Asha’s recipes in her weekly Substack newsletter\, From Head to Table\, and her forthcoming solo cookbook\, Dinner Season (out Fall 2027). \n  \nSamah Dada is a New York City–based recipe developer\, food photographer\, and the blogger behind Dada Eats.

SUMMARY:Theater Performance:  Dear John
DESCRIPTION:It’s 2011\, and a recent college graduate is trying to move out of her mom’s house (with little hope and no prospects) when she receives a message from a mysterious stranger named John on Facebook. Dear John is a solo show based on a true story about what happens when a long-absent father finds his not-quite-adult daughter through a social networking website. Weaving together Facebook DMs\, recorded interviews\, and anecdotes of growing up undocumented in New York’s Chinatown\, Dear John is a coming of age story delightfully told by writer and performer Rachel Lin about the ways we try (and fail) to reach each other\, over and over again.

SUMMARY:Supporting Queer Arab/SWANA Americans in Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a CE workshop for affirming clinical care with queer second-generation Arab\, Southwest Asian\, and North African Americans.\n\n\nTitle: Supporting Queer Arab/SWANA Americans in Psychotherapy \nSubject: Affirming clinical care with queer second-generation Arab\, Southwest Asian\, and North African Americans. \nCourse Description: “Queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans are a rich\, vibrant\, and diverse community\, yet\, are marginalized within multiple contexts. Anti-Arab\, anti-immigrant\, and cisheteronormative structural norms and policies in the United States intersect with intense cultural and religious beliefs about the incompatibility of sexual and gender diversity and Arab/SWANA identity” (Alsamadi\, 2025\, p.1). Consequently\, queer Arab/SWANA Americans may seek psychotherapy for support in managing stress related to intersectional oppression and disenfranchisement (Alsamadi\, 2025; Chaney et al.\, 2020; Habhab\, 2018; Ikizler & Szymanski\, 2014; Khatib et al.\, 2023). \nThe unique needs of this population are rendered invisible in psychology training programs and continuing education programming. As such\, this workshop will teach attendees (1) relevant cultural values within Arab/SWANA communities; (2) common themes in psychotherapy with queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans; and (3) how the Keeping Radical Healing in Mind (KRHM; Adames et al.\, 2023) therapeutic approach is relevant to queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans. The workshop will conclude with a collaborative case example where attendees will apply the KRHM therapeutic approach to a composite clinical case of a queer second-generation Arab/SWANA American client. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nParticipants will identify relevant cultural values within Arab/SWANA communities.\nParticipants will identify common themes in psychotherapy with queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans.\nParticipants will describe the Keeping Radical Healing in Mind therapeutic approach and its relevance to queer second-generation Arab/SWANA Americans.\n\nPresenter Bio: \nDr. Nadia Alsamadi is a queer and nonbinary Palestinian American clinical psychologist\, educator\, and speaker in the Washington\, DC metropolitan area. Dr. Alsamadi is the founder of Beyond the Binary Psychotherapy and Consulting\, PLLC\, where they collaborate with LGBTQ+\, Arab/SWANA\, BIPOC\, and first/second generation immigrant clients to explore issues related to anxiety\, identity\, culture\, oppression\, and empowerment. They support their clients and collaborators in drawing strength and pride from their identities and culture\, resisting false dichotomies\, and reclaiming their own narratives. As a dynamic and engaging speaker\, they build relationships with individuals and organizations to deepen cultural humility\, critical consciousness\, and compassion for the complexity of the human experience. \nYou will also be eligible to earn 3.0 Continuing Education Credits if you hold a New York State License as an LMHC\, LCSW\, LMSW\, LCAT\, LMFT\, LPsyAn (LP)\, or Psychologist. \nQ’Lective Therapy is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Mental Health Practitioners as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed mental health counselors #MHC-0300\, licensed creative arts therapists #CAT-0114\, licensed marriage and family therapists #MFT-0124\, and licensed psychoanalysts #P-0071. \nQ’Lective Therapy is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #SW-0793. \nQ’Lective Therapy is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Psychology as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychologists #PSY-0262. \nPlease Note: This training will not be recorded and the attendance list will only be shared with the presenter.

SUMMARY:Join Potluck Asian America at a Performance of Chinese Republicans with Reception & Talkback - $20 Tickets
DESCRIPTION:Join Potluck Asian America at a special community performance of Chinese Republicans with a pre-show reception catered by Jing Fong and a post-show conversation with Alex Lin and the cast!  $20 Tickets!\nChinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Playwright Alex Lin and Award-Winning Director Chay Yew. \nThree high-powered businesswomen meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs\, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie\, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce\, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best\, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder. \nShifting between sharp-tongued humor and the harsh realities of modern capitalism\, this world premiere production explores themes of assimilation\, intergenerational conflict\, and gender politics in the workplace—all with unflinching wit and empathy. Chinese Republicans is a new play from a thrilling new American voice and tells a truly American story. \nThis performance includes a “pay what you wish” option starting at $20. Availability is limited and we encourage early RSVPs. \nCast: Jennifer Ikeda\, Ben Langhorst\, Jully Lee\, Jodi Long\, Anna Zavelson \nHarold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre\, Laura Pels Theatre\, 111 West 46th Street\, New York\, NY

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.
