Bard Faculty

Bard’s extraordinary faculty are dedicated to the philosophy of teaching. Today and throughout Bard’s history, members of the faculty have effected change in medicine, the arts and letters, international affairs, journalism, scientific research, and education, among other endeavors. These distinguished scholars are advisers as well as instructors: Bard has no graduate teaching assistants. And the average class size of 16 in the Lower College and 12 in the Upper College allows for intimate discussions and one-on-one interaction.

Pam Tanowitz Named Bard Fisher Center’s First Choreographer in Residence

Award Is Made Possible by Landmark $1.2 Million Gift from Jay Franke and David Herro

Having produced and premiered Tanowitz's immensely acclaimed Four Quartets, Bard's Fisher Center will commission three new works by the choreographer, including a collaboration with Sara Mearns, and will develop a digital archive of her body of work. Tanowitz and her collaborators will engage broadly with Bard’s undergraduate programs through teaching, showings and performances, student access to rehearsals, and campuswide dialogue about the creative process.

Recent News and Notes

02-12-2019: The 12-member, congressionally mandated group will (like its 2006 Iraq Study Group predecessor) convene at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C. The mission is to assess the current situation in Syria, its impact on neighboring countries, the resulting regional and geopolitical threats to the United States, and current military, diplomatic, and political efforts to achieve a stable Syria. The group is also charged with developing recommendations on the military and diplomatic strategy of the United States with respect to the conflict in Syria.

02-08-2019: In the fourth round of the Philipp Schwartz Initiative, Bard College Berlin received a 24-month grant to be awarded to the Turkish scholar at risk Dr. Aysuda Kölemen.

Aysuda Kölemen is a political scientist whose current research focuses on populism and democratic backsliding in Turkey. She examines the structural and psychological factors that contribute to the populist surge in Turkey from a comparative perspective.

In 2015, Aysuda Kölemen became a signatory of the Petition for Peace, which was signed by over 2000 academics from Turkey. The petition called for an end to the armed conflict in Turkey. Subsequently she lost her job as an assistant professor at Istanbul Kemerburgaz University (currently Altınbaş University) and was sued by the Turkish government for signing the petition. She moved to Germany in 2017. Her trial continues.

Aysuda Kölemen received her PHD in political science from the University of Georgia, Athens in 2010.

The Philipp Schwartz Initiative
The Philipp Schwartz Initiative was launched by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation together with the German Federal Foreign Office. It enables universities, universities of applied science, and independent research institutions to grant threatened researchers fellowships for research stays in Germany. The initiative has been made possible through generous support from the Federal Foreign Office, the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Gerda Henkel Foundation, the Klaus Tschira Foundation, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the Stifterverband, and the Stiftung Mercator.

Scholars at Risk
Bard College Berlin is a founding member of the German chapter of the "Scholars at Risk," together with 19 other German academic teaching and research institutions. Kerry Bystrom, Associate Dean of Bard College Berlin and Professor of Human Rights & English Literature, is a member of the German SAR's Steering Group.
