Historical thinking is one of the most critical skills a college student can acquire. Teaching globally is a vital approach to understanding our contemporary world.

How do we combine the resources available to us from archives, libraries, and online collections to inform our understanding of the past and the present? In this workshop we collaborate across the expertise of librarians and historians to further conversations about teaching, history, and library materials.

Are you a post-secondary educator seeking to build connections across the State of New York? Are you faculty looking for more primary source materials? Are you interested in learning more about how to access materials from libraries at a distance? Are you a graduate student in need of resources and source materials as you construct current and future syllabi? If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions, then please do join us!

This online workshop is sponsored by the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, with funding support from the U.S. Department of Education Title VI NRC Program.

Speakers:

Emily Zinger, Southeast Asia Digital Librarian, Cornell University

Aunty Aesthetics, or More Ways to be an Aunty, a talk Dr. Kareem Khubchandani
Friday, October 21st, 3:00 p.m. - 4.30 p.m. , Film Forum and on Zoom

Description:
Aunties are known to be terrifying figures, domineering and difficult, overbearing to younger generations. They are especially known for managing and curtailing desire, whether shaming you for that extra piece of cake you are eyeing, or blabbing to your parents about your nighttime escapes. As such, they have become the butt of the joke, particularly in meme culture that critiques older generation's outmoded style and politics. This talk revisits the hegemonic figure of the South Asian aunty in performance, TV, literature, and visual culture to detail what paying attention to her aesthetics can teach us about the queer and trans futures she makes possible rather than forecloses.

Kareem Khubchandani is Associate Professor in theater, dance, and performance studies at Tufts University. He is the author of Ishtyle: Accenting Gay Indian Nightlife (University of Michigan Press, 2020), co-editor of Queer Nightlife (University of Michigan Press, 2021), and guest editor of the "Critical Aunty Studies" special issue of Text and Performance Quarterly.

Join us for an information session to learn more about the Cornell Migrations initiative’s Community College Faculty Professional Development Fellowships on racism, dispossession, and migration (RDM) for faculty of any discipline at two-year institutions in upstate New York.

With support from the Mellon Foundation Just Futures Initiative and Global Cornell, this opportunity is a year-long program that provides $1,000 for community college faculty to integrate issues of racism, dispossession, and migration into their curricula.

RDM projects may include a new course, a new unit for an existing course, or a service-learning component to an existing course that encourages discussion on issues of racism, dispossession, and migration. Understanding the historical and contemporary relationships between the displacement of people, including through the dispossession of Indigenous lands and rights, and racism, xenophobia, opposition to immigration, and anti-immigrant violence.

The Cornell Migrations co-directors will address any questions about priorities, selection criteria, budgets, and other guidance on how to prepare a successful application. Proposals due on January 13, 2023, by email to Mary Ball, Migrations initiative program manager, mjn3@cornell.edu. Consultation on proposal ideas is strongly encouraged and questions about this fellowship are wholly welcome.

Talk by Sanaa Alimia in conversation with Aziz Hakimi

In this talk, Sanaa Alimia will discuss her new manuscript, Refugee Cities: How Afghans Transformed Pakistan (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2022). The book is a people's history of displacement across Afghanistan and Pakistan. Weaving together microhistories of neighbourhoods in Peshawar and Karachi, Alimia shows how Afghans have claimed and accessed rights and resources in these cities. Their struggles, which are a crucial, neglected dimension of Pakistan's urban history, reflect how Pakistan's longer-term Afghan population is not an alien cohort waiting to go home but rather an essential part of Pakistani society.

Sanaa Alimia is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Aga Khan University, Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations. She is a recipient of the British Academy/ Leverhulme Small Grants Award for her research project, 'Digital Borders, Bodies, and Mobility in South Asia.' Alimia’ s manuscript, Refugee Cities: How Afghans Transformed Pakistan, is out in 2022 (University of Pennsylvania Press). Alimia has previously held positions at the Leibniz Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin (2014-2019), Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar (2013-2017), and SOAS, London (2011-2014).

Aziz Hakimi holds a PhD in Development Studies from SOAS-University of London. His research and publications have addressed subjects including war and state formation, policing and local militias, and the intersections between gender, legal reform, marriage practices and migration in Afghanistan and among Afghan diaspora in Turkey.

Between 2016-2019, Dr. Hakimi was co-director of the New Afghan Men? Marriage, Masculinities and Gender Politics in Afghanistan research project. It was a collaborative initiative between Chr. Michelsen Institute (Norway), University of Sussex (UK) and Peace Training and Research Organization (Afghanistan). The project was funded by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) and explored the changing notions of masculinity and marriage practices in contemporary Afghanistan.
