Cherukupalli Friday Evening Lecture Series This presentation is the travelogue of a geologist visiting the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal and Tibet. Starting in Kathmandu and traveling to Beijing, at very high altitudes, between 5,000 feet and 16,000 feet above sea level, the author takes the audience through the picturesque physiographic provinces of the Himalayan Mountains, their rivers, rocks, small towns, and religious places. Mount Kailash (abode of Hindu God Shiva), Mansarover (the lake created by the Hindu God Brahma) and Potala palace (Buddhist Monastery in Lhasa) are the important religious places visited by the author during his journey. These places are equally important for the Hindus and Buddhist pilgrims around the world. The journey continues from Lhasa to Beijing on the world's only railroad that travels at the top of the world (at altitudes of 15,000 feet plus) and constructed and opened only a few years ago. http://www.aaari.info/08-02-15Nehru.htm Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:00:00 EST 49:26 nehru, cherukupali, kailash, himalayas, mountain, lhasa, buddhist, shiva, hindu, brahma, beijing, nepal, tibet, manasarover, potala, palace Jennifer Hayashida, Joe Fox, and Ruth Okimoto Hunter College, CUNY - Asian American Studies Program The Asian American Studies Program welcomes Ruth Okimoto, Joe Fox and James Nubile for a discussion about their new film, Passing Poston. http://www.aaari.info/08-02-20AASP.htm Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:00:00 EST 57:02 passing, poston, ruth, okimoto, asian, american, studies, program, hunter, college, joe, fox, jennifer, hayashida, japanese, internment, camp, relocation, center, colorado, river, indian, reservation, world, war Asian American / Asian Research Institute, CUNY March 2008 Spotlight of the month, AAARI Winter Session Interns. http://www.aaari.info/newsletter/08-03Spotlight.pdf Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:00:00 EST aaari, spotlight, newsletter, march, cuny, asian, east, south, trade, technology, studies, personnel Gisela Jia Friday Evening Lecture Series In New York City, as well as nationwide, an increasingly significant number of children speak a language other than English at home.

Lee Friday Evening Lecture Series Dr. Joseph T. Lee looks at the current development of the Sino-American encounter in the Third World.
