April 5-28 marks the 45th anniversary of the San Francisco 1977 Disability Rights Protest, a sit-in that demanded the enactment of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This was a landmark piece of legislation for people with disabilities in the United States and set the groundwork for the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. As we reflect on this incredible historical action, we look to our present Yale environment to ask important questions about how the campus supports and falls short for the disability community.

Goals:
Every February, the Japanese American community commemorates Executive Order 9066 as a reminder of the impact the incarceration experience has had on their families, community, and this country. In observance of the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 that was signed on February 19, 1942 this event will feature Seattle-based Yonsei cartoonist and illustrator, Kiku Hughes, whose historical graphic novel Displacement tells the story of a teenager who is pulled back in time to witness her grandmother’s experiences in the Japanese American internment camps.
In partnership with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Yale Nursing examines drivers and potential solutions to vaccine inequities in Black, Hispanic, and Immigrant communities. Invited guests and panelists include Congressional representatives, Yale faculty, and national stakeholders.
Join us as we read and discuss a new graphic novel created by artist Nealie Ngo based on Grace Chiang’s story about family healing. Healthcare providers Eunice Yuen, Alice Shen, Jamille Rancourt, and Nichole Roxas will lead a discussion about intergenerational trauma and mental health in an AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) family. This panel is hosted by Yale Compassionate Home, Action Together (CHATogether) and Yale-China.
For Lunar New Year, the Association of Chinese Students and Scholars at Yale (ACSSY), the OISS International Spouses and Partners at Yale (ISPY), and Yale-China are compiling stories of heritage, culture, art, and celebration. Their stories explore themes of joy + comfort, arts + culture, and family + homecoming. These stories embrace the distance and longing that many international families feel during this homecoming time of the year and the steps they take to create new traditions in their New Haven community.
The talk will introduce data-driven humanities projects at the Center for Open Data in the Humanities (CODH) on historical materials during the Edo period such as Edo maps, Miwo (A mobile app for AI kuzushiji recognition), Kaokore, Bukan Complete Collection, and edomi, with discussion on how these tools and new methodologies will transform the style of Japan Studies.
