On August 5th, DORIS will welcome Dr. Tarry Hum, Professor Emeritus at CUNY and 2025 Caring Across Generations Fellow, and Marc Kirkeby, historian, writer, and former contributor to our For the Record blog, for a conversation about the evolution of infrastructure, demographics, and community life in two dynamic neighborhoods: Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Flushing, Queens.

Her research focuses on immigrant urbanism and growth coalitions, transnational capital, and urban and community planning.
