The HSS Student Expo will showcase the work of our outstanding School of Humanities and Social Sciences students. It will bring together in a single forum all of our longstanding HSS department and program end-of-year student events, and expand to highlight student work in programs and departments that will generate student-centered events for the first time. We are looking forward to celebrating all that our students have been able to achieve academically in the midst of the pandemic. We greatly appreciate your time and effort in supporting this student-centered event.

Brooklyn College students have a long history of activism on and beyond campus, but we still know far too little about the experiences and postgraduation lives of the vast majority of our students, particularly in the years following the introduction of tuition in 1976. This panel of students will share what they have learned from some of those student activists, from Occupy to COVID-19. Undertaking research into the events that shaped the Brooklyn College experience, student panelists will also interview alumni about what drew them to activism on campus, if and how Brooklyn College transformed their lives, what lessons current students might draw from their experiences, and the ways in which their BC experiences helped to shape their postgraduation lives and careers.
Hosted by Professor Cherry Lou Sy
Our team of students will be presenting our ongoing project from the Asian American Pacific Islander Project. We will present our documentary that our team did as well as a partial clip of an interview from our current podcasting project.

Join these history and religion majors, all upper-level seminar students, in talking through theoretical and historical issues pertaining to the question of religious experience. Do religious objects have their own agency, or is their worth and meaning inscribed by the users of these objects? Does religious experience “really” happen, or is it simply a product of psychological issues? Can religious experience be rationally analyzed, or do you instead just “have to be there?” We’ll have the questions, and you can help us work out the answers (or even more questions).
Hosted by Professor Tamara Mose

The panel will examine the costs and benefits of migration to states and communities. Panelists will discuss and examine case studies of migration from origin countries and regions in developing countries to destinations in affluent regions in North America, Europe, and beyond. The research projects will examine the consequences of migration for those who depart and those that are left behind. On a structural level, panelists will examine migration from the perspective of state economic and political development.
