紐英崙華人歷史協會李燦輝講座系列 9/26

CHSNE Tunney F. Lee Memorial Lecture Series In memory of 2002 Sojourner Award recipient and our longtime friend and collaborator Professor Tunney Fee Lee (李燦輝, 1931-2020), CHSNE has established the CHSNE Tunney F. Lee Memorial Lecture Series to continue his lifelong work of preserving and promoting the history of Chinese Americans. The series will feature speakers on various topics related to the history of Chinese Americans and lectures/seminars will be held in locations in the Boston area and/or virtually based on speaker availability and health regulation at the time. Tunney himself has kindly given many interesting talks on the history of Chinese and Chinatown in Boston over the years so we see this as a fitting tribute to his legacy of historical preservation. September 26th, 2:00 PM EST The inaugural seminar - Stories From the City: Contemporary Senior Migrants and Boston's Chinatown  Over the past several decades, increasing numbers of Chinese-born senior citizens have left China to migrate to the U.S. for the first time as older adults. For many of these seniors, their recent moves are tied to long histories of emigrant pathways from Guangdong Province to the U.S.—echoing similar kinds of influences that affected Tunney Lee to come to Boston in 1938 when he was 7 years old. In this talk, I take inspiration from Tunney Lee’s belief that to understand a city, it’s necessary to know stories about the people who live there: Who are they? What are their lives like? What’s brought them there? I focus on stories I heard while doing 7 years of ethnographic research among seniors who hail from Guangdong Province and have relocated in their 60s and 70s to Boston, where they work in restaurants, as caregivers for children or infirm adults, as janitors and hotel cleaners, and, in a handful of cases, as administrative help in Boston Chinatown offices. Through these stories, I trace the historical pathways that have led to seniors’ later-life migration trajectories and explore the continuities and changes that have animated some typical Chinese immigrant experiences to the U.S. over the past 100+ years. https://mailchi.mp/cbf4e212386c/tflmls-newendorp Register Today

Tunney F. Lee Memorial Lecture Series

Tunney Lee recognized at the 40th Annual Preservation Awards

In memory of 2002 Sojourner Award recipient and our longtime friend and collaborator Professor Tunney Fee Lee (李燦輝, 1931-2020), CHSNE has established the CHSNE Tunney F. Lee Memorial Lecture series to continue his lifelong work of preserving and promoting the history of Chinese Americans. The series will feature speakers on various topics related to the history of Chinese Americans and lectures/seminars will be held in locations in the Boston area and/or virtually based on speaker availability and health regulation at the time. Tunney himself has kindly given many interesting talks on the history of Chinese and Chinatown in Boston over the years so we see this as a fitting tribute to his legacy of historical preservation.

A giant in the field of urban planning and architecture, Tunney was the head of the Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) at MIT, founding head of the Department of Architecture at Chinese University in Hong Kong and Chief of Planning and Design at the Boston Redevelopment Authority. The history of Chinese in Boston was close to his heart as his great grandfather arrived in Boston in 1892 and he himself arrived in Boston in 1938 at the age of 7. In recent years, Tunney led the multimedia Boston Chinatown Atlas project in partnership with CHSNE and many others which documented the development and changes of the neighborhood over the years. At the time of his death, Tunney was working on a book about Boston Chinatown and today CHSNE director and Tunney’s collaborator David Chang continues to work on the extensive collection of files, photos and writings left by Tunney with the objective to complete and publish his unfinished work.

    有人說女性為阿滋海默症的中心，因為 65歲以 上的阿滋海默症患者中2/3 為女性(360萬)，2/3 的照護者為女性，專業照護人員女性占大多數，失智症的照護者中有1/3是女兒。讓我們一起來關心身邊的女性親友，藉由對話，讓我們對阿滋海默症與相關失智症，及其帶來的影響有更深的認識。

蔡怡女士，家屬照顧者,  曾任職英語教學主管, 現為專職作家。

《烤神仙》，《忘了我是誰》的作者蔡怡，與失智父親朝夕相處

他人生最後的五年半，蔡怡近距離觀看並不想知道的老病過程，

目睹父親靈魂之舟擱淺於生命之河，她把每日面對的荒蕪、枯朽，

轉換成豐盛，以春暖花開的心情迎戰。

曾經和失智的父親最熟悉，卻變得最陌生。蔡怡陪在父親身邊五年

多，父親對她的稱呼由女兒，變成蔡大姐，老板娘，不認識的小姐，但這一段溫暖又傷痛的歲月，在她心中永不褪色。
