Immigration Influx: The Future of Boom Towns
July 9, 2024
1:00 pm
Cities around the globe are experiencing a large influx of migrants, with metropolises like New York City and London consistently ranking among the top destinations for those seeking a better life. Yet the impact of immigrants on these cities' populations is multifaceted.
Economically, migrants contribute to the labor force but can also add strain on public services. Socially, migration enriches the cultural fabric of cities, but it can also lead to social tensions, especially in areas with high concentrations of migrants. The large influx of migrants across the U.S. is bound to be a major political focus of the 2024 presidential election.
Join us as Matt Hall, Director of the Cornell Population Center, talks about the future shift in the demographics of some of the world’s major cities. He will discuss what he calls “boom towns” and highlight cities that are becoming major destinations for immigrants from Central America and Eastern Europe.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why immigration has become an international topic of discussionWhich cities have been defined as “immigration boom towns”The factors that lead to certain cities becoming major landing spots for migrantsHow the demographics of major cities are shifting as a result of incoming migrantsSPEAKER

How to Assemble an AAS Panel
May 31, 2024
8:00 pm
A workshop by GETSEA.
Have you always wanted to present a paper at the Association for Asian Studies annual meeting? But you can’t find a panel that fits your work, and you don’t know how to gather other scholars to create a panel of your own?
Join GETSEA for an informal discussion with Tom Pepinsky (Cornell), Trude Jacobsen Gidaszewski (NIU), and Chris Hulshof (Wisconsin-Madison) about the process of assembling a panel to submit to AAS.
After the discussion, we will move into breakout rooms for possible panel matchmaking. So, please come with a short description of the topic you are interested in presenting at AAS (a general idea is fine as well. It doesn’t need to be a finished proposal).

Victoria Beard, SEAP/GPV
“There is an element of climate change that’s contributing to these conditions that we find ourselves in, but there’s also a very strong human-built environment element — a governance element, a politics element, and a mismanagement element of both the natural and the human environment,” says Victoria Beard, professor of city and regional planning.
