Join MCNY fellow Azra Dawood as she explores the history of international communities—and internationalist thinking—in Morningside Heights and adjoining areas. Owing to its famous cluster of educational and religious institutions—such as Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary—by the early-twentieth century the neighborhood was being called New York City’s "Acropolis." A lesser-known part of this story is the presence and significance of foreign-student and diaspora communities and institutions in the neighborhood. How did these groups come to live in Morningside Heights, what is their legacy, who are the people and institutions that facilitated their arrival in the area, and what were their motivations? The tour will cover the histories and architecture of the Rockefeller-funded International Student house (opened in 1924), Sakura Park (the recipient of a gift of cherry blossom trees from the Committee of Japanese Residents of New York) and other sites.
