Magalong\, Ph.D.\, i s an Assistant Professor in the Historic Preservation program at the Unive rsity of Maryland's School of Architecture. Planning and Preservation\, wh ere she previously served as a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow. She is af filiate faculty in Asian American Studies\, Urban Studies and Planning\, a nd American Studies.

In the work of preserving Asian American history and places\, there is a greater need for understanding the diverse ethnic and cultural histories of this r acial category of “Asian American.” This includes the need to dispel s tereotypes of Asian Americans and for the inclusion and expansion of Nativ e Hawaiian and Pacific Islander historic preservation efforts. This talk w ill provide case studies in California\, Hawaii\, and Guam on local effort s and approaches in addressing the needs to dispel stereotypes as “Asian Americans” while providing more inclusion of Native Hawaiian and Pacifi c Islander histories and places. Dr. Magalong will draw in examples from h er practitioner work with Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation and from her previous experiences with AAPI context studies in Los Angeles\, the state of California\, Washington\, DC\, and on the fe deral level with the National Park Service in identifying historic places associated with Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander hi stories and places.\n\nSuggested Reading: Magalong\, Michelle G.\, and Daw n Bohulano Mabalon. "Cultural Preservation Policy and Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders: Reimagining Historic Preservation in Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities." AAPI Nexus: Policy\, Practice and Communi ty 14\, no. 2 (2016): 105-116. \n\n \;\n\n"Across the Pacific Rim: Ar chitecture and Landscape in Translation" begins with what the Pacific Ocea n is: a fluid place\, a sea where ideas\, people\, and artifacts move. It questions the framing of this great body of water as a barrier or a void\, concepts that are rooted in colonialism and imperialism. Instead\, it pos its the Pacific as an active stage for exchanging and translating ideas\, concepts\, materials\, and technologies about constructed environments. Th e designers\, scholars\, practitioners\, and activists featured in this se ries are situated along the Pacific Rim. They examine areas\, products\, a nd product histories along the Pacific Rim. They call on this positionalit y to offer exceptional\, transnational\, boundary-breaking\, hybrid practi ces and research that contribute to a shared environment and a collective future.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and hel d in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium with a remote option available.\n\nIf you are interested in attending via Zoom\, please register here.\n\nSee https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-cam pus for current requirements for in-person visitors.\n\n \;\n\nThis le cture series is made possible by the Spitzer Architecture Fund and the gen erous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of Sciame Construction.
