PMA Associate Professor Christine Bacareza Balance received a Distinguished Achievement Award in Education at the first annual Little Manila/Filipino American History Month (FAHM) parade and block party in Woodside, Queens. The award was presented on October 18 by NY State Assemblymember Steven Raga and recognizes Balance’s work as a writer, scholar, community and events organizer, teacher and mentor for the past 30 years at the intersection of arts, culture, higher education, and philanthropic and community-based organizations.
"I dedicate this award to all my fellow critical Filipinx/Filipino American studies scholars and to all my fellow artists and organizers who have carved spaces for learning and growth beyond traditional educational institutions,” said Balance. “In the words of the late great historian Dawn Bohulano Mabalon, 'We celebrate Filipino American history, not just heritage. History is how we changed this nation and ourselves in the process: it's our political struggles and activism; the impacts of war and imperialism; our labor and our migrations. History includes our heritage, but look we have more than just our culture. We made history. We helped build this nation. And that's what this Filipino American History Month is about.'"

Join the Department of Performing and Media Arts for PMAPS Colloquium with André Brock Jr.: “'The Call is Coming from Inside the House': Algorithmic Inflammation, Misogynoir, and Black Respectability,” on Friday, November 13, at 5:00, in the Film Forum, Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts. This event is free and open to the public.
Drawing on recent controversies surrounding Tuskegee University's dress code and Nikole Hannah-Jones' New York Times article on predominantly Black schools, this talk highlights how online discourses of respectability take shape as a carceral governmentality requiring portraying certain Black bodies as deviant and how engagement algorithms and media form inflames (and also contests) respectability politics.

In conjunction with Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art exhibit, Jaime will join a panel with curators C. Ondine Chavoya, and David Evans Frantz. They will be discussing how bars, clubs, streets, homes, and artistic networks become spaces for gathering and exchange.
