Trip to Chinatown on Monday

To start our study of immigration stories in New York, we will take our first field trip on Monday, Feb. 7. We are going to the Museum of Chinese in America, located in Chinatown at 215 Centre Street.

Everyone should go directly to the museum on Monday. Please be there by 11am when we will have the opportunity to speak to a museum educator about the exhibits.  Then we will take a self-guided tour. Those of you who need to get back to campus should be able to leave by noon. Everyone else can stay longer. We will try to take a walk in Chinatown, time permitting.

Here is a link to HopStop subway directions from the Baruch campus to the museum.

Any questions, email Prof. Haller.

One in 8 Million

Hello and welcome to our New York Stories seminar. One of your first assignments is to spend time looking at a New York Times multimedia feature called “One in 8 Million.” The feature uses photos and audio interviews to profile regular New Yorkers. It illustrates an important theme of this course — that New York gets its vibrance, energy and identity from the people who live here. When you go to the site, pick and choose about a dozen people who are profiled and listen to their stories. We hope this will help inspire you to begin the search for your own New York stories that you will research and tell over the course of the semester.
