SUMMARY:Film Shorts by Lav Diaz\, a Visions/Panawin screening
DESCRIPTION:A “Lav Diaz Short” may sound like an oxymoron for worldwide admirers of the Filipino master writer/director\, better known for his feature films that run as long as 11 hours.  Panawin/Visions presents an opportunity to explore another facet of the artist’s prolific output with this program of his short films\, with running times from 40 minutes to as brief as 2.   As with his more known feature films\, the shorts find him pushing the boundaries of cinematic form while exploring themes of collective trauma\, expiation\, and transcendence. \nThe program includes: Butterflies Have No Memories\, Himala: A Dialectic of Our Times\, Prologue to The Great Desaparecido\, The Boy Who Chose the Earth\, The Day Before the End\, and The Firefly.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Unassimilable by Bianca Mabute-Louie with Dr. Dale Dagar Maglalang
DESCRIPTION:A scholar and activist’s brilliant socio-political examination of Asian Americans who refuse to assimilate and instead build their own belonging on their own terms outside of mainstream American institutions\, transforming the ways we understand race\, class\, and citizenship in America.\n\n\nIn this hard-hitting and deeply personal book\, a combination of manifesto and memoir\, scholar\, sociologist\, and activist Bianca Mabute-Louie transforms the ways we understand race\, class\, American respectability\, and the concept of assimilation and its impact on Asian American communities from the nineteenth century to present day. \n\n\n\n\nUNASSIMILABLE opens with a focus on the San Gabriel Valley (SGV)\, the first Asian ethnoburb in Los Angeles County and in the nation\, where she grew up. A suburban neighborhood with a conspicuous Asian immigrant population\, SGV thrives not because of its assimilation into Whiteness\, but because of its unapologetic catering to its immigrant community. \nMabute-Louie then examines “Predominantly White Institutions With A lot of Asians” and how these institutions shape the racial politics of Asian Americans and Asian internationals\, including the fight against affirmative action and the fight for ethnic studies. She moves on to interrogate the role of the religion\, showing how the immigrant church is a sanctuary even as it is an extension of colonialism and the American Empire. In the book’s conclusion\, Bianca looks to the future\, boldly proposing a reconsideration of the term Asian American for a new label that better clarifies who Asians in America are today. \nUNASSIMILABLE offers a radical vision of Asian American political identity informed by a refusal of Whiteness and collective care for each other. It is a forthright declaration against assimilation and in service of cross-racial\, anti-imperialist solidarity and revolutionary politics. Scholarly yet accessible\, informative and informed\, this book is a major addition to Ethnic Studies and American Studies. \n\n\nAbout the author: \nBianca Mabute-Louie is completing her PhD at Rice University\, where she researches the intersections of race\, religion\, and politics. She is published in top academic journals\, including Social Forces\, Socius\, and Sociology of Race and Ethnicity\, as well as in public outlets like Elle Magazine. Bianca has been featured in CNN\, TIME\, ABC\, LA Times\, among other outlets.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Caring for Caregivers - Filipina Migrant Workers and Community Building during Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk by Dr. Valerie Francisco-Menchavez\, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Sexuality Studies at San Francisco State University. \nMigrant workers have long been called upon to sacrifice their own health to provide care in facilities and private homes throughout the United States. What draws them to such exploitative\, low-wage work\, and how do they care for themselves? In Caring for Caregivers (University of Washington Press\, 2025)\, Valerie Francisco-Menchavez centers the perspectives of Filipino caregivers in the San Francisco Bay Area from 2013 to 2021\, illuminating their transnational experiences and their strategies and practices to help each other navigate the crumbling US health-care system.

SUMMARY:Filipina Suffragists of the Twentieth Century: Confronting Race\, Gender\, and Empire in the Fight for Voting Rights
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sulo: The Philippine Studies Initiative at NYU. Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU\, Espacio de Culturas at NYU\, New York Southeast Asia Network (NYSEAN)\, Rutgers Center for Immigrant Justice\, NYU School of Law Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center\, and FANHS Metro New York. \nREGISTER \nThis lecture explores the significant yet overlooked contributions of Filipina Americans to the suffrage movements in both the United States and the Philippines during the early twentieth century. Despite the centennial anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment’s ratification in 1920\, the role of Filipina American suffragettes remains underexplored. By uncovering their stories\, this lecture will discuss how their advocacy intersected with broader national and global efforts to dismantle the racial\, gendered\, and imperial barriers to women’s voting rights. \n\nRose Cuison-Villazor is professor of law and Chancellor’s Social Justice Scholar at Rutgers Law School where she previously served as interim co-dean (2021-23) and vice dean (2019-2021). Professor Cuison-Villazor is also director of the Center for Immigrant Justice\, which conducts publicly engaged research and policy work on progressive immigration and citizenship laws. She is an elected member of the American Law Institute. Her overall research agenda examines the extent to which laws\, policies\, and norms include and exclude individuals and groups from membership. She teaches and writes in the areas of immigration and citizenship law\, property law\, and race and the law. She is visiting scholar at the A/P/A Institute at NYU.\n\n  \nNYU campus access guidelines: The event is in-person only. It is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Please note that seating is limited. \nAccessibility note: Please email Dale Maglalang at dam506@nyu.edu for any access needs at least two weeks in advance.
