Wednesday, May 12, 2021 On Wednesday, May 5, the History Department, along with the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, welcomed Dr. Cindy I-Fen Cheng, Ph.D., for her virtual lecture Anti-Asian Sentiment Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic. Fifty-nine Seton Hall and local community members joined the session on Microsoft Teams. Dr. Anne Giblin Gedacht, Assistant Professor, Department of History and Affiliated Faculty, Asian Studies Program, opened the program by welcoming Dr. Cheng and thanking participants for attending. Dr. Cheng is a Professor of History and the Asian American Studies program director at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her first book, Citizens of Asian America: Democracy and Race during the Cold War, explored how Asian Americans shaped the credibility of U.S. democracy during the early Cold War years. Her current project, titled Rebuilding California s Skid Row Neighborhoods: Southeast Asian and Central American Refugees and the Growth of the Homeless Population in the United States, 1945-1980, examines how the residence of Southeast Asian families in the Tenderloin of San Francisco and Central American families in Skid Row, Los Angeles shaped the development of these locales.
Climate change has proven to have an enormous impact on populations. Rapidly-emerging weather conditions have contributed to a mass displacement of people, commonly recognized as climate refugees. This is defined as people who have been forced to leave their homes due to the effects of climate change in their community and/or environment. Climate change impacts both direct and indirect livelihoods. It may also affect migration contributors or enablers and people’s natural, financial, and social resources. In the face of these environmental threats, people feel that they have no choice but to seek refuge elsewhere, whether in their own countries or beyond. The impacts of migration are often substantial, and must be carefully analyzed and handled within the context of development and adaptation.
