Hosted by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nThis symposium will interrogate how different forms of Asian/Pacific/American identity politics both serve and challenge notions of security amid the intensification of the border crisis\, chauvinist populism\, and forever wars. On one hand\, representation-based identity politics offer security and comfort by widening membership into positions of power and privilege based on liberal capitalist promises of diversity. Concepts such as the model minority\, affirmative action\, and intersectionality have thus often been instrumentalized in the pursuit of defending and securitizing the existing political order against political challenges from both left and right. Alternatively\, “Asian/Pacific/American” is an illustrative example of how identity can both gather marginalized peoples and generate forms of solidarity\, knowledge\, and activism across different geographies and cultures beyond the pursuit of belonging and security. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public.

Originally the Soviet government had introduced this title as a part of its postwar pronatalist Family Law adopted in 1944. Putin has been committed to increasing fertility in Russia for over a decade and has gradually restricted women’s access to abortion. With this background in mind\, it may not seem surprising that he added one more measure from the post-WWII pronatalist toolkit when the “special military operation” threatened to accelerate the decrease in Russia’s population.However\, the revival of the Mother Heroine award signifies a slight\, but important shift. In general\, postsocialist pronatalism carefully adapted the pronatalist ideas from the Soviet period\, embracing some elements\, while rejecting others. One of the rejected measures was the postwar Soviet policy of “one-parent pronatalism\,” which made the father’s role in childrearing optional. Instead\, postsocialist pronatalism has promoted “two-parent pronatalism\,” which encouraged fathers to play an essential role in childrearing. This position manifested in the 2008 introduction of the “Parental Glory” title rather than reviving “Motherhood Glory” or “Mother Heroine.” The 2022 revival of Mother Heroine was a shift away from this earlier decision. How should we interpret this shift?Through a comparative analysis of the 1944 pronatalist Family Law and Putin’s pronatalist measures\, this talk attempts to identify both constant and shifting choices as well as forces that affect the politics of reproduction today. In addition to policymakers\, the talk will address the roles of women\, doctors\, and the Russian Orthodox Church. \n \nSpeakers: \nProfessor Mie Nakachi\, Global Studies at Hokusei Gakuen University \nRochelle Goldberg Ruthchild\, Historian and Davis Center Associate URL:https://politicaljar.com/event/russias-pursuit-of-repopulation-abortion-large-families-and-propaganda/ LOCATION:CGIS South Building\, S354\, 1730 Cambridge Street\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://politicaljar.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ceae945f2f32e8b144ae378dad056743.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250306T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250306T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T120524 CREATED:20250306T134617Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250306T181430Z UID:13495-1741269600-1741269600@politicaljar.com SUMMARY:The President signs Executive Orders DESCRIPTION:Closed Press URL:https://politicaljar.com/event/the-president-signs-executive-orders-6/ LOCATION:Oval Office END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250306T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250306T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T120524 CREATED:20250224T150239Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250303T150418Z UID:12622-1741278600-1741284000@politicaljar.com SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: Erase the Nation DESCRIPTION:Polish director and war reporter Tomasz Grzywaczewski will present his new documentary about the war in Ukraine followed by a discussion\n\n\nSchedule: \n4:30 – Brief Introduction by Tomasz \n4:45 – Film Screening \n5:35 – Q&A \n6:00 – Event Concludes \nAbout the Documentary: \n**This screening is part of the Intermarium Lecture Series and the Kosciuszko Chair of Polish Studies** \nThe documentary film ‘Erase the Nation\,’ directed by Tomasz Grzywaczewski\, shows the destruction of Ukraine’s cultural heritage\, having been carried out by the Russian Federation’s troops since February 22\, 2022.

DESCRIPTION:We rally to defend science as a public good and pillar of social\, political\, and economic progress. (Reg. is for planning and not required.)\n\n\nOn March 7\, 2025\, we rally to defend science as a public good and pillar of social\, political\, and economic progress. \nWe call on policymakers\, institutions\, and the scientific community to uphold the integrity of science\, protect its accessibility\, and ensure its benefits serve all people. To achieve this\, we seek the following policy actions. \n1. Secure and Expand Scientific Funding \nPublicly funded science drives innovation\, strengthens the economy\, and improves lives. We demand: \nRestoration of Federal Research Funding: Reinstate federal funding for scientific research across all disciplines to FY-2024 levels and commit a 20% increase in federal scientific funding over the next three years followed by annual increases indexed to inflation to ensure sustained scientific advancement. \nReinstatement of Wrongfully Dismissed Federal Employees: Rehire all unlawfully terminated scientists and administrators at federal agencies (including NSF\, NIH\, CDC\, EPA\, NOAA\, NPS\, NWS\, FWS\, and FDA) with full back pay and benefits. \nRemoval of the 15% cap on indirect funding for NIH-funded grants and reinstatement of indirect funding policies as they existed prior to January 1\, 2025. \n2. End Censorship and Political Interference in Science \nScience thrives on open inquiry and evidence-based decision-making. We demand: \nAn End to Government Censorship: Prohibit all forms of political censorship in scientific research\, including restrictions on the topics of scientific research that are eligible for federal funding. \nRestoration of Public Access to Scientific Information: Restore all scientific data\, reports\, and resources on federal websites to pre-January 31st\, 2025 status\, ensuring full public access to primary scientific sources. \nProtection of Research Independence: Mandate legal safeguards against political interference to preserve the integrity of federal research and communication. \nA Commitment to Freedom of Scientific Expression: Protect scientists’ rights to communicate their findings freely\, without fear of retaliation or suppression. \n3. Defend Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Accessibility in Science \nScience is strongest when it includes everyone. Attacks on DEIA initiatives are attacks on science itself. We demand: \nPreservation of Equitable Access to STEM: Maintain and expand federal programs that broaden participation in STEM training and careers. \nProtection for Minoritized Scientists: Enforce anti-discrimination protections for minoritized scientists to ensure equitable participation and impact. \nReinstatement of DEIA Initiatives: Restore all DEIA programs within federal agencies to pre-January 1\, 2025 status\, ensuring continued progress toward equity. \nScience is for everyone. Science keeps us safe\, and enables us to live longer\, healthier lives. We call on leaders at every level\, regardless of political affiliation\, to champion and protect scientific research\, education\, and communication—for the progress\, prosperity\, and well-being of all.
