Where we began at the NYU Centers for Global Asia:
“Port City Environments in Global Asia.” (A research and teaching program funded by the Henry Luce Foundation, 2018-2014)
- 2018. 25-26 May. “Port City Environments in Global Asia”
- 2019. Mar 7-9 .”Imperial Connections: Ports, Power, and People”
- 2019. 24-25 May. Port City Workshop. This workshop is producing a special number of Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East
Our work on port city environments has spawned a more capacious project, “Global Asian Urbanism,” including seaport cities around the world of Asian mobility but also strategic sites of urban connectivity on overland and airplane routes that now cluster around seaports but also follow inland tracks of transport infrastructure, including ancient routes across the steppe. This project is evolving in undergraduate courses and graduate student and faculty research based in our three NYU campuses and embracing NYU global sites.
At NYU in New York, we focus on New York City in the Global Asian Urbanism project
- 2019-2021. “New York Immigrant City” was VIP Course jointly in CAS and Tandon, co-taught by Heather Lee and David Ludden
- 2022. 30 Sept. Heather Lee Book Discussion: Gastrodiplomacy: Chinese Exclusion and the Ascent of Chinese Restaurants in New York, 1870-1949 (forthcoming).
PROJECT PROPOSAL: New York as a Global Asia City.
- Asia mobility is now providing most of the population growth in New York City — more than half the city’s growth since 2010 — and also most of its added cultural and economic diversity. (More than any other demographic influence.)
- With this in view, our three NYU Global Asia Centers are planning a three campus Global Asian Urbanisms program for research and teaching focusing on all the many ways that Asian mobilities shape the urban environment of New York City.
- This community-based research and teaching program will form an NYU-CUNY alliance for long-term studies of Asian America in the city and many of the mingled ethnic diversities that shaping the city, where NYU has a huge Asian student population and sits in the Chinatown neighborhood, in one of Global Asia’s great urban centers, with perhaps world’s largest current urban accumulation of Global Asia social and finance capital.
- We have made considerable progress in planning this project. We have NYUAD and NYUSH firmly on board and enthusiastic support from CUNY’s AAARI.
- We will have an all-day meeting with a public keynote lecture at 19 Washington Square North on 6 October to launch the project
- A sketch of our 2023-24 planning agenda appears below.
OUR 2023-24 Project Agenda:
- To build a foundation for a long-term research and teaching program on New York City’s Global Asian Urbanism, we plan to hold five meetings during the final year of our Luce grant (AY 2023-4).
- The first meeting — on 6 October, 2023, at 19 WSN — will include a range of current and potential GNU and New York City stakeholders, including experts to help us with a foundation funding plan.
- At four smaller meetings, we will share research findings and methodologies, ideas for program design, and practical lessons about funding.
- These meetings will yield a proposal for long-term foundation funding for
- ongoing multidisciplinary longitudinal database studies and
- intensive community-based neighborhood field studies of multi-generational strategies and experiences of Global Asian urbanism.
- Our program will produce
- ongoing sustained collaborative relationships among New York scholars, teachers, universities, schools, and communities and
- evolving platforms with online open access learning and research resources for for public use, for teaching in college and K-12, and for graduate training.
