With over 1200 active members, AABANY continues to be a leading voice for Asian Pacific Americans (“APA”) in New York, and is instrumental in advocating for positive changes in the legal sector and the broader APA community. This past year was especially meaningful as AABANY was recognized for its achievements by two prominent bar associations. In November 2019, the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) recognized AABANY as its Affiliate of the Year at NAPABA’s Annual Convention. In January 2020, the New York State Bar Association’s Committee for Bar Leaders of New York State selected AABANY as the winner of the 2019 Bar Leaders Innovation Award for our Pro Bono Legal Advice and Referral Clinic. I invite you to learn more about the many accomplishments we have achieved individually and collectively over the past year, which are described in detail in AABANY’s 2019 Year End Report, and on our website (www.aabany.org). We continue to work to diversify the bench; mentor law students and junior attorneys; and support our local community through our award-winning Pro Bono Clinic. As our membership and interest in our community continues to grow, it is critical that we continue to develop programs that meet the needs of our expansive membership. I am awed by the significant interest expressed by our members and supporters to lead and participate in our many initiatives. I am especially proud of the AABANY Leadership Development Program that is designed to address the disproportionate underrepresentation of APAs in law firm partnerships and senior in-house positions. I want to thank our talented and driven Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, Executive Director and staff. AABANY is in a position of strength today because of the countless volunteer hours that all of you have spent. I look forward to seeing AABANY’s continued growth next year under the leadership of Sapna Palla, our incoming President. Thank you again for your support and commitment to AABANY. Respectfully, Brian W.

  • CFP: Special Issue for Journal of Popular Film and Television: Korean Popular Cinema and Television in the 21St Century
    H-Asia CFP: Special Issue for Journal of Popular Film and Television: Korean Popular Cinema and Television in the 21st Century Discussion published by Jihoon Kim on Monday, August 8, 2016 Call for Submissions to a Special Issue: Korean Popular Cinema and Television in the 21st Century Edited by Jihoon Kim, Dept. of Film Studies, Chung-ang University, South Korea During the last several years, both Korean cinema and Korean television dramas (and K-pop tracks/stars as well, to be sure) have gained not simply dramatically increased popularity beyond the Pan-Asian scope of the first ‘Korean wave (hallyu)’ (across North and South Americas and Europe), but also critical attention in the academia of cinema studies, cultural studies, and East Asian/Korean studies. Despite these situations, previous studies on Korean cinema and television have highlighted only a limited set of texts: despite a couple of recent edited collections dedicated to nationally popular genre films such as horror and film noir, most scholarly writings on Korean cinema have still privileged films directed by so-called ‘auteurs’ (Kim Ki-duk, Hong Sang-soo, Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, and Lee Chang-dong) that were already established in global film culture and academia, thus leaving unexamined a series of popular Korean films that have not simply had enormous commercial success in the domestic box office but also had notable cultural influences on Korean audiences’ collective desire, historical imaginary, and optical unconscious. Likewise, most of the existing studies on Korean television have discussed only a few canonical television dramas in the first Korean wave era.

  • Annual Report 2020
    BRAVE JUSTICE ANNUAL REPORT 2020 MELINDA KATZ DISTRICT ATTORNEY Queens District Attorney 125-01 Queens Boulevard Kew Gardens, NY 11415 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY MELINDA KATZ A MESSAGE FROM DISTRICT ATTORNEY MELINDA KATZ 2020 was a year like no other. From the start, I knew it would take a steady hand to achieve brave justice and create a more equitable criminal justice system while keeping Queens’ communities safe. On day one, my team and I effectuated new policies, practices and structures designed to create the safest and fairest borough in the city. We immediately began navigating through the challenging implementation of New York State’s long awaited historic bail and discovery reform. I could not have anticipated the challenges to come: those already tumultuous waters deepened in just three months’ time, as a world-wide pandemic hit the city. And not long after, our city transformed yet again in the wake of historic protests and calls for meaningful police reform. This past year, we bravely rose above the turbulent waters. We began building bridges – bridges that will keep our communities safe while embracing new, progressive approaches toward prosecution and the criminal justice system. Inside this book, we will explore the remarkable bridge building we have started, in what has proven to be an unparalleled year: A bridge to Trust – where an emphasis is placed on new progressive leadership, staff training, and a demand for excellence and professionalism throughout a newly structured organization that is designed to further our mission to achieve brave justice. A bridge to Fairness – by instituting new policies that work to address racial and economic disparities, such as reducing prosecution of low-level offenses, utilizing alternatives to cash bail, reducing incarceration, making fair and just plea agreements, and providing more opportunities for rehabilitation and redemption from past violations.

With respect to the ongoing G20/OECD2 project on addressing the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the economy (the BEPS 2.0 project), the Finance Ministers endorsed the key components of the two pillars on reallocation of profits and a global minimum tax as set out in the Statement released by the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) on 1 July 2021.

    Fall 2012 Volume 25, Issue 1 Biannual Newsletter Canadian Association for the History of Nursing Association canadienne pour l’histoire du nursing President’s Message – Dr. Beverley Hicks The CAHN conference and meeting in Medicine Hat is now a happy recollection and I am sure the 25th anniversary conference is recalled with good memories. This year’s Hannah lecturer, Carol Helmstadter, spoke on “Military Nursing in Four Different Contexts”. Carol’s meticulous research was evident as she explored different nursing responses to the Crimean war. It was a privilege that one of our long standing members and supporters gave this 25th Hannah Lecture. All the papers were excellent but one that stands out for me was presented by Jayne Elliott. It was the work of Jayne and Cynthia Toman who brought some order, continuity and clarity to our own history. This will help us to see our progress and will also encourage us as we move forward. For a small group we have done well to maintain a national presence. Medicine Hat College and the local arrangements chair Florence Melchior did a superb job of arranging the conference, accommodation, and meals and Saturday evening entertainment. This was one of the smallest venues in which the conference has been held but all agreed it was excellent. The next conference will be in Victoria in conjunction with the Canadian Society for the History of Medicine. The new slate of officers is published in this issue of the newsletter, including a number of students, and this is an excellent way to get students involved.

    For Immediate Release Contact: [email protected] TEA & JUSTICE — AWARD-WINNING FILM ON NYPD ASIAN WOMEN COPS TO SCREEN AT LA FEMME FILM FESTIVAL, BEVERLY HILLS, OCT. 17 Beverly Hills, CA, October 13, 2008 — TEA & JUSTICE , a documentary about three petite immigrant Asian women defying stereotypes in the New York Police Department (NYPD) will screen at La Femme Film Festival on Friday, October 17, 2008, 10:00 am at the Fine Arts Theatre, 8556 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA. Director/Producer Ermena Vinluan will be present. According to Leslie Lapage, Founder & Executive Director of La Femme , “The Festival screens films for a world audience. Last year, over 10,000 attended, celebrating films made by women – for everyone.” TEA & JUSTICE is about three petite Asian immigrant women who help change the face of the NYPD – and its soul. VINLUAN made the film because she was intrigued by the image of Asian women in such a non-traditional career. The filmmaker also explores her activist ideas and mixed feelings about cops, while honoring the challenges the women embraced and reforms they accomplished. Hollywood Reporter called the film “thoughtful and provocative.” TEA & JUSTICE was also described as “…a heartfelt documentary…delightful” ( Rocky Chin, Esq., NY State Civil Rights Commission); and “…bold, sensitive, passionate, analytical and iconoclastic,” (Prof. Estella Habal, Asian Studies at San Jose State University) . ABOUT THE FILM AGNES CHAN, a 20-year-old college student and Chinatown garment factory worker became NYPD's first Asian female officer in 1980. Chan was committed to creating a bridge between the police and the poorly- served Asian community.

  • The Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of Designing and Assessing Assignments
    The Paralegal American Association for Paralegal Education Volume 32, No. 2 FALL/WINTER 2017 The Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of Designing and Assessing Assignments See article on page 12 Open Letter to the AAfPE Membership As you know, the AAfPE bylaws were amended last year to add the words “or legal studies” to the definition of Affiliate Membership, paving the way for AAfPE to seek out new affiliate members that do not offer paralegal programs but instead offer extensive legal studies programs within their institutions. Previously, the bylaws of the association prevented any institution or organization that did not offer a paralegal education program from joining the association, which precluded a large number of vocational schools, colleges, universities, and other higher-education institutions throughout the country that offer extensive programs in legal studies from AAfPE membership. By approving the change, AAfPE members acknowledged the association’s need to not only increase membership numbers but also bring in a diverse body of membership that would contribute to the collective knowledge base and strength of the association—both key factors in AAfPE’s long-term viability. Today, AAfPE launches a new logo, reflecting the membership’s decision to include both paralegal and legal studies programs. This new logo represents the next step in AAfPE’s mission to promote quality paralegal education, develop educational standards, and encourage professional growth, in order to prepare graduates to perform a significant role in the delivery of legal services. It is an essential piece of AAfPE’s plan to grow membership in both numbers and diversity.

  • The Changing Face of Korean Cinema, 1960 to 2015 / Brian Yecies and Ae-Gyung Shim
    The Changing Face of Korean Cinema The rapid development of Korean cinema during the decades of the 1960s and 2000s reveals a dynamic cinematic history that runs parallel to the nation’s politi- cal, social, economic, and cultural transformation during these formative periods. This book examines the ways in which South Korean cinema has undergone a transformation from an antiquated local industry in the 1960s into a thriving international cinema in the twenty-first century. It investigates the circumstances that allowed these two eras to emerge as creative watersheds and demonstrates the forces behind Korea’s positioning of itself as an important contributor to regional and global culture, especially its interplay with Japan, Greater China, and the United States. Beginning with an explanation of the understudied operations of the film industry during its 1960s take-off, it then offers insight into the challenges that producers, directors, and policy makers faced in the 1970s and 1980s during the most volatile part of Park Chung Hee’s authoritarian rule and the subsequent Chun Doo-hwan military government. It moves on to explore the film industry’s profes- sionalization in the 1990s and subsequent international expansion in the 2000s. In doing so, it explores the nexus and tensions of film policy, producing, directing, genres, and the internationalization of Korean cinema over half a century. By highlighting the recent transnational turn in national cinemas, this book underscores the impact of developments pioneered by Korean cinema on the transformation of “Planet Hallyuwood”. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Korean Studies and Film Studies.
