On view on the third floor of Cooperman Library through summer 2025, CRAASH in Focus: Revitalizing Asian American Studies explores the history of student activism surrounding the Asian American Studies Program (AASP) at Hunter College, from its early foundation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the revitalization of it in the 2000s and 2010s by way of CRAASH, or the Coalition for the Revitalization of Asian American Studies at Hunter, and CRAASH’s ongoing influence and impact today. Drawing heavily from archival materials held by the Hunter College Libraries, this exhibition demonstrates how students have advocated for the AASP through concerted news and social media campaigns, petitions, protests, and events, as well as their solidarity efforts with other student organizations. Curated by Mee-Len Hom, Allison Ransom, and Lily Susman.

Special Thanks:

Former and current administrators of the Asian American Studies Program: Dr. Shirley Hune, Dr. Peter Kwong, Dr. Robert Ku, Jennifer Hayashida, Dr. Joong Oh, Vivian Louie, Dr. Charles Tien, and Dr. Daniel Woo.

Guests were shown materials from the Archival collection, including yearbooks, a graduation dress worn by graduate Mary Ann Brown in the 1870s, and the Nobel Prize medal awarded in Physiology and Medicine to Hunter alumna Gertrude Elion ’37 for her work on drug development. Alumni were excited to learn that we now have high resolution scans available for Hunter College yearbooks.

Publication Contracts & Copyright Workshops

This spring, the Graduate Center’s Mina Rees Library is offering four online workshops about publication contracts, copyright, and related topics. (Each workshop will occur twice: once on a Wednesday evening and once on a Friday morning.) All members of the CUNY community are welcome, regardless of campus. The workshops are especially well suited to faculty, graduate students, administrators, and others who seek to formally publish or otherwise disseminate their work.

Each workshop stands on its own — there is no need to attend one in order to attend another. Simply register for whichever one(s) speak to your interests or needs. And if there’s a workshop that interests you that you can’t make, register anyway. The presentations will be recorded and shared with all registrants.

Understanding and Negotiating Book Publication Contracts

Do you want to publish a book? If so, it's important to understand the basics of book publication contracts! This workshop will cover the clauses that frequently appear in publication contracts, explain in plain language what they mean, and present strategies for negotiating “author-friendly” versions of these clauses.

When you understand and negotiate your book contract, you can maximize your creative, scholarly, and pragmatic goals for your work. Join us to learn more!

Copyright and Fair Use for Scholarly Authors

This workshop will cover key information about copyright, fair use, and the public domain, and look at how copyright law both complicates and facilitates scholarship. Topics will include: What kinds of works are covered by copyright? What rights are included in copyright, and who holds those rights? How long does copyright last? What is the public domain, and how do works become part of it? What is fair use, why does it exist, and how can you determine if a use is fair? How have court cases changed what qualifies as fair use, and what are the implications of those cases for scholarship?

Understanding Creative Commons Licenses

This workshop will cover key information about Creative Commons (CC) licenses—both using CC-licensed works created by others and adding a CC license to your work. Topics will include: the relationship between copyright and CC licenses; what the different CC licenses allow users to do; the difference between using a work and making a derivative work; and choosing a license for your work.

Happy Birthday, Audre Lorde! Film Screening and Zine Distribution at the LGBTQ+ Community Space - February 18, 2025

Each February, Black History Month signals a time to reflect on the powerful stories, accomplishments, and contributions of Black individuals who have shaped our college and our world. One such figure is legendary “Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet” Audre Lorde (1934-1992), alumna and former Distinguished Professor at Hunter College.
 
On February 18th - which would have been Audre Lorde’s 91st birthday - the LGBTQ+ Community Space at Hunter College will celebrate with a screening of Dagmar Schultz’s film: Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992. The Hunter College Libraries have created a mini zine guide to explore Lorde’s work and impact, which will be available at the screening and in the community space afterward.
 
As we spotlight Lorde's legacy, the Hunter College Libraries affirm that the history and accomplishments of Black students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community members will never be confined to just one month of recognition. We recognize and celebrate Black excellence - past and present - every day of the year.
 
Event Details:
What: Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 Film Screening and Zine Distribution
Where: The LGBTQ+ Community Space in Thomas Hunter Hall, Room 311
When: Tuesday, February 18th at 2:30 pm
