Philosophy Salon: The Association of Slavery and Blackness in Early Modern Philosophy
Julia Jorati, Professor of Philosophy, UMass Amherst
Friday, March 1, 2024
12–1:30 pm
Hegeman 204AThis talk examines the association between the notions “slavery” and “Blackness” in the 17th and 18th centuries—an association that plays a crucial role in the development of modern racist thought. Several philosophers in this period commented on the ways in which these notions started to be linked; some criticized this linkage while others embraced or accepted it. Among White Europeans, a new conception of slavery—according to which slavery is appropriate exclusively or almost exclusively for Black people—emerged in the early modern period, side by side with a new conception of Blackness. This new conception of Blackness served European colonial interests by making a suitability for slavery a distinctive feature of all Black people.Sponsored by: Philosophy Program.

Visualizing Ancient Data - Planetariums as Time Machines
James Hedberg, CCNY
Friday, March 1, 2024
12–1 pm
Hegeman 107Planetariums have long been referred to as virtual spaceships, capable of whisking their passengers to far off stars or distant galaxies. Through a carefully crafted union of scientific data visualization and cinematic techniques, we can watch the sun set on Mars or eat lunch at the center of the Milky Way. Another use of these immersive theaters is to serve as virtual time machines, enabling scientifically accurate visualizations of night skies and other astronomical objects as they were observed and recorded centuries, even millennia ago. This talk will explore immersive experiences we've created that port ancient data sets to a decidedly modern venue. Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Memory, Resistance, and Colonial Hierarchies of Belonging (A)cross the Atlantic
Friday, March 1, 2024
1–6 pm
Olin 202 & RKC 103In their 1992 open letter to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, African American writers Audre Lorde and Gloria I. Joseph protested a recent wave of deadly attacks on refugees in East Germany by connecting it to tacit violence against people of color and the “fundamental questions of racism, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia […] within the German psyche that have not been publicly examined and addressed in the last 50 years.” Instead of easily buying into the commemoration ritual of German Reunification, Lorde and Joseph measured the success of German memory culture by its effect on their lives, asking “Why has the dismantling of the Berlin Wall meant that we now feel less and less safe as Black Women visitors [...], lest we be insulted or attacked?”
Today, their question reverberates against the backdrop of multiple “refugee crises” and the rise of right-wing extremisms across Europe, with German’s AfD party growing in popularity. This one-day symposium builds on Lorde and Joseph’s protest letter to explore transnational connections and narratives of resistance in Germany and across the Atlantic. We seek to explore how marginalized groups have politically and historically advocated for justice by drawing parallels of remembrance against forgetting across different cultures, spaces, languages, bodies and times. By realizing parallels across multiple geopolitical histories of migrant activists, feminists, workers, Europeans of colour, Sinti and Roma populations and refugees we want to generate interdisciplinary discussions on the uses of memory as resistance.
We invite various artistic, academic and activist perspectives to provide new perspectives that broaden the clusters of Memory, Resistance and Colonial Hierarchies of Belonging. While our focus is on Germany, we welcome contributions from other contexts that comparatively address how Western colonial, imperial, transnational, and transatlantic memories are tied and translated to other regions and contexts.
This event is co-sponsored by: Rethinking Place Bard-On-Mahicantuck, A Mellon Foundation "Humanities For All Times" Initiative, Central European University, Gender Studies Department, The Hannah Arendt Center, The Literature Program, The Politics Program, The American And Indigenous Studies Program, The Philosophy Program, The History Program, The Human Rights Program, The Language Center, The Dean's Office, The Division Of Languages And Literature, and Bard Center For The Study Of Hate.

Guest Artist Lecture-Recital: Catherine Kautsky, piano
Debussy in Paris: Poets, Politics, and the Piano Intertwined
Friday, March 1, 2024
4–5:30 pm
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance SpacePianist Catherine Kautsky presents a lecture-recital placing Debussy's piano music in the context of fin-de siècle Paris. We’ll look at fairies and clowns, writers and painters, arabesques and castanets, and along the way we’ll encounter the many issues of race, gender, colonialism, and nationalism that affected (and afflicted) Paris c. 1900.
Catherine Kautsky, Chair of Keyboard at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI, has been lauded by the New York Times as “a pianist who can play Mozart and Schubert as though their sentiments and habits of speech coincided exactly with hers … The music spoke directly to the listener, with neither obfuscation nor pretense.” Her recording of the Debussy Preludes, released by Centaur in September, 2014, was said to “bring out all the power, majesty, and mystery of Debussy’s conception.“ Ms Kautsky has just released a 24 video set, “Great Works for the Piano” for Great Courses/Wondrium, and is also presenting courses on piano literature for the Juilliard Extension Division and the 92nd Street Y of New York City.
Free and open to the public.Sponsored by: Bard College Conservatory of Music.

Particle Accelerators, Artificial Intelligence, and Ancient Greek Literature: The Vesuvius Challenge and the Future of Classics
Rob Cioffi, Chuck Doran, and Jay Elliott
Monday, March 4, 2024
1:30–2:30 pm
Stevenson Library 4th Floor Reading RoomOn the afternoon of August 24th, 79 CE, an unusual cloud in the shape of a pine tree could be seen across the Bay of Naples. As night turned to dawn on the morning of the 25th, Mt. Vesuvius was erupting with lethal force: buildings shook violently, the sea was absorbed back into itself, and black clouds rent by fire coursed through the sky. The eruption buried cities, killed tens of thousands, and terrified countless others. Yet, Vesuvius’ destruction was also, paradoxically, responsible for stunning acts of preservation. In Pompeii, the volcanic ash created a time capsule of Roman life in 79 CE, and in Herculaneum the deadly, hot gas preserved a whole library: nearly 1,000 ancient Greek and Latin book rolls that had been carbonized during the eruption. The only problem has been reading them. For 250 years scholars have tried to unravel the Herculaneum texts with varying degrees of success—and substantial loss of material.
On the morning of February 5th, 2024 CE, all that changed. The Vesuvius Challenge announced three winners, who, thanks to advanced imaging technologies and artificial intelligence, have used a non-destructive process to read a significant portion of a new Herculaneum text. It is very likely by the epicurean philosopher Philodemus. Their discovery has the potential to change the landscape of Greek literature. It has already become major news and has featured in stories on NPR and in the Guardian. This informal seminar will present these findings to the Bard community, lay out their groundbreaking significance for anyone interested in Greek literature and ancient philosophy, and discuss their potential further applications.Sponsored by: Bard Interdisciplinary Science Postbaccalaureate Research Accelerator, Classical Studies, and Philosophy Programs.

What is a Feminist Quantitative Method? Opportunities for Feminist Econometrics
Levy Institute Research Program of Gender Equality and the Economy: A Speaker Series Featuring Sarah Small, Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Utah
Monday, March 4, 2024
5–6 pm
BlithewoodThe Gender Equality and the Economy Program of the Levy Economics Institute hosts a speaker series with practitioners and scholars across disciplines from around the globe to address the ever-relevant topic of “Gender Equality and the Economy.” Speakers will present their research and discuss differing approaches to economic analyses through a gender lens. The series highlights the importance of taking an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the implications of how gender and economic inequalities intersect in history, policy, and the everyday.
Join us for our third session with Sarah Small, Assistant Professor of Economics, The University of Utah, on Monday, March 4, from 5pm to 6pm in the Blithewood Conference Room, or on Zoom. Professor Small's presentation will be followed by an open Q&A session with audience members—both those in person and on Zoom are welcome to ask questions.
Light refreshments will be served. Register to attend via Zoom here.
This event is sponsored by The Levy Economics Institute, The Economics Program of Bard College, and The OSUN Economic Democracy Initiative.
Abstract:
Though feminist economics encourages methodological plurality, quantitative methods and econometrics have overtaken the discipline in recent years. Many feminist economists have demonstrated reasons to be concerned about the increasing foothold of quantitative methods, and others have provided thoughtful criticisms of specific quantitative measurements. However, few have made distinctions between mainstream econometrics and feminist econometrics, and a succinct set of resources for those trying to do feminist quantitative research is difficult to find. Drawing upon insights from feminist economics, queer methods, and intersectional approaches, this paper sets forth practical guidelines for feminists using econometric methods. Namely, it considers issues of data cleaning, replicability, survey weighting, comparison groups, non-binary measures of gender, intersectionality, causality claims, identification problems, atheoretical index composition, and measuring “difference.” It raises questions for contemporary feminist economists to consider as we grapple with the methodological identity of our field.
Sarah F. Small, PhD is an assistant professor in the department of economics at the University of Utah and the book review editor for Feminist Economics. Her research focuses on intrahousehold bargaining, unpaid care work, history of feminist economic thought, and feminist research methodology. Sarah earned her PhD in economics from Colorado State University and formerly held research positions at Rutgers and Duke universities.

The Three Rs of Postwar Internationalism: Refugee, Return, Repatriation
Arie M. Dubnov, George Washington University
Tuesday, March 5, 2024
4 pm
Hegeman 106Three pivotal terms— "refugee," "return," and "repatriation" — played an exceptionally significant role in shaping international planning and discourse after World War II. Exploring the interconnections of international history and the history of political and religious concepts, the talk examines how these terms acquired distinct meanings within the framework of international policies and how they echo to this day in the context of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
Arie M. Dubnov is the Max Ticktin Chair of Israel Studies. Trained in Israel and the U.S., he is a historian of twentieth century Jewish and Israeli history, with emphasis on the history of political thought, the study of nationalism, decolonization and partition politics, and with a subsidiary interest in the history of Israeli popular culture. Prior to his arrival at GW, Dubnov taught at Stanford University and the University of Haifa. He was a G.L. Mosse Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a participant in the National History Center’s International Decolonization Seminar, and recipient of the Dorset Fellowship at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies and a was Visiting Scholar at Wolfson College, Oxford.Sponsored by: Global and International Studies Program; Historical Studies Program; Human Rights Program; Jewish Studies Program; Middle Eastern Studies Program; Politics Program.

Why Fiat Copper Money Collapsed: Evidence of Trust in Early Modern Europe
The Levy Economics Institute Presents a Guest Lecture Featuring Danila Raskov from the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies at the University of Helsinki, Finland
Wednesday, March 6, 2024
5–6 pm
BlithewoodAbstract:
The talk addresses two questions: Why did fiat copper money operations fail? And what is the reason behind the short-term success of these operations? I argue that, in both cases, trust as a habit and sovereigns' competition provide a more plausible explanation than the risk of default, the supply of money, or the scarcity of real resources. The issuance of copper currency at enforced exchange rates as the monetary campaign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich of Russia (1654–1663) is worth investigating. The prevailing literature highlighted the fiasco accompanied by agio and hyperinflation. A better understanding of these initiatives can be achieved through a framework of trust, as expounded by Aglietta and Orléan. Trust, in this context, operates on three levels: as societal norms and conventions, as public trust in governing authorities, and as an interplay among sovereigns (including counterfeiters). This framework reveals that inflation correlates with a decline in trust, challenging the efficacy of both the State Theory of Money and monetarism.Sponsored by: Levy Economics Institute.

Between Power and Authority: Arendt on the Constitution and the Courts
Thursday, March 7, 2024 – Friday, March 8, 2024
Multiple Locations at Bard CollegeKeynote Speaker: Peg Birmingham (DePaul University)
Organised by Nicholas Dunn (Bard College)
The U.S. Supreme Court today faces a crisis of legitimacy. More than half of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Court—the lowest in over three decades. Following a slate of rulings on abortion, affirmative action, student debt, and freedom of religion, an increasing number of Americans no longer believe the Court is impartial, viewing it as simply another partisan institution. As a result, many are calling for various reforms of the Court, including term limits and packing the court. At the same time, the Court has, even at this moment, has struck down racially motivated gerrymandering in Alabama and has refused to accept the Independent State Legislature Theory that would allow states to overturn the will of their voters. There is little doubt that politics is at play in the Supreme Court; at the same time, the Court still gives credence to the idea of the rule of law and not men.
In On Revolution, Hannah Arendt places the American constitutional tradition at the center of her inquiry into the founding and preserving of political freedom. The success of the American Revolution, for her, consisted in two things: its unleashing of citizen power through the principle of federalist dispersion of power and its institutionalization of authority in the Supreme Court and the United States Constitution. Regarding the former, Arendt argues that the embrace of federalism allowed for the multiplication and flourishing of power within a stable system. Regarding the latter, Arendt offers an original reading of the Supreme Court as the successor of the Roman Senate. The Court's authority combined with the surprising fact that the Constitution came to be worshiped allowed the United States to achieve authority for its laws absent religious sanction. This authority tied together permanence and change, permitting the country to develop and grow while also maintaining order and stability. In short, the combination of power and authority that emerged from the worship of the United States Constitution became the modern condition for the possibility of founding free government.
This conference aims to bring together scholars of Arendt’s constitutional thought and those working in political and legal theory more broadly to pursue the following questions: Is the Supreme Court still a legal institution, one that wields and deserves the authority imbued by the rule of law? Is the Supreme Court simply an undemocratic institution of power? If the latter, should we abandon the charade that the Supreme Court is above politics? Or, should we work to uphold the reality and the illusion that the Court is a legal and not simply a political institution? Any answers to these questions request that we face what is lost if and when the Supreme Court is no longer recognized as a seat of authority. We are especially interested in papers that address: Arendt’s conception of power and/or authority, Arendt’s constitutional and/or legal theory, and the relevance of all of this for current discussions of the Supreme Court and constitutional politics.
Registration and Format
The event will take place in-person and will be free and open to the public. Please direct any questions to Nicholas Dunn ([email protected]). Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center; OSUN.

The Eyes Have It!: Face and Gaze Perception As a Window Into Mental Representations
Thomas Hutcheon, Psychology Program
Thursday, March 7, 2024
4–5:30 pm
Preston TheaterFrom the very earliest stages of development, humans prioritize information about the faces of others. Faces carry important information about the identity, thoughts, emotions, and future behavior of an individual. In addition to static features of a face, the direction of a face’s gaze provides information about a person’s attention and intention. Accumulating evidence suggests that gaze-following is not simply a bottom-up (reflexive) process, but is modulated by top-down factors including social characteristics of both the face stimulus and the observer. This talk will review recent work conducted in the Bard Attention and Performance (BAP) which has sought to better understand how and why these top-down factors impact behavior.

Bard Biology Club’s Spring Welcome Party

About Bard Biology Club
The Bard Biology club is a social and skill enhancing club that is open to students of all majors. This club exists for two major goals: (1) To create a sense of community for students interested in Biology, and (2) To connect students with opportunities to serve the Bard community. We hope to create a sense of community by hosting monthly events (documentary viewings, movie nights, game night, etc) to bring students together to get to know each other. In the long run, we plan on connecting students with volunteer and science outreach opportunities (in the form of tutoring, coaching, medical volunteers, etc.) in local communities (elementary, middle or high schools). We acknowledge that there are different fields in biology so we will be working with CDO and CCE to provide volunteer opportunities in different fields, be it medicine or anything, per the student’s interest. We will also invite Bard biology alumni to give talks on what they are doing now with their biology degrees and provide more insight into the different career opportunities that are available for biology majors. We want this club to not only be a fun club but also a way to discover one’s interest and improve one’s skills for future careers.Sponsored by: Student Activities.

TAMIZDAT Workshop: The Soviet and East European Adventures of Orwell’s Animal Farm
Yasha Klotz and Diana Gor (Hunter College)
Thursday, March 7, 2024
5:30–7:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center, Room 200Banned by the Soviet authorities, George Orwell’s “fairytale” was nevertheless smuggled into the USSR and the Eastern Bloc since the late 1940s. Russian and East European émigrés and refugees in the West could not help noticing immediate parallels between Orwell’s dystopian worlds and the dark reality of “developed Socialism,” as well as Holodomor and other atrocities in their home countries under Stalin. The TAMIZDAT project, founded by Associate Professor Yasha Klots (Hunter College CUNY), studies literary destinies, market presences, and socio-political impacts of banned books from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The workshop on the first translations and publications of Orwell’s Animal Farm in East-European languages addresses both the Orwellian folkloric metaphors and the notion of “TAMIZDAT,” or “published there (abroad),” in the political and cultural context of the Cold War.Sponsored by: Russian/Eurasian Studies Program.

Thursday, March 7, 2024

at the Laszlo S. Bito ‘60 Auditorium (Reem-Kayden Center) at Bard College
Event will be live-streamed
The Problem of Constitutional Authority in a Secular Age
Peg Birmingham
[1] “More important in our context [of thinking the meaning of revolution] is that
Machiavelli was the first to visualize the rise of a pure secular realm whose laws and
principles of action were independent of the teachings of the Church in particular and of
moral standards, transcending the sphere of human affairs, in general. It was for this
reason that he insisted that people who entered politics should first learn “how not to be
good,” that is, how not to act according to Christian precepts” (On Revolution, 36).
[2] “[it was] secularization itself, and not the contents of Christian teachings, which
constitutes the origin of revolution” (On Revolution, 26).
[3] “Politically, secularism means no more than religious creeds and institutions have no
publicly binding authority and that conversely, political life has no religious sanction.”
(“Religion and Politics” in Essays in Understanding, 372).
[4] “One cannot fail to register her insistence that even such politics [self-contained and
post-metaphysical] must have continuing recourse to an absolute of the kind that
metaphysics in the form of religion provided more plausibly and effortlessly than
revolution could easily succeed in doing” (Samuel Moyn, “Arendt on the Secular,” p. 76).
[5] “European absolutism in theory and practice, the existence of an absolute sovereign
whose will is the source of both power and law, was a relatively new phenomenon; it had
been the first and most conspicuous consequence of what we call secularization, namely,
the emancipation of secular power from the authority of the Church” (On Revolution,
159).
[6] “...secularization, which never denied religious content (this is an impossibility!) but
rather posed the ancient problem of earthly immortality anew” (Denktagebuch, Heft XX,
entry 2, 478).
[7] “In the political realm we deal always with adults who are past the age of education,
properly speaking, and politics or the right to participate in the management of public
affairs begins precisely where education has come to an end” (“What Authority?” in
Between Past and Future, 119).
[8] “[Authority] insofar as it is based on tradition, is of Roman political origin and was
monopolized by the Church only when it became the political as well as spiritual heir of
the Roman Empire” (“Religion and Politics” in Essays in Understanding, 372).
[9] [The loss of authority] allows for confronting “anew, without the religious trust in a
sacred beginning and without the protection of traditional and therefore self-evident
standards of behavior, by the elementary problems of human living-together” (“What is
Authority?”, 141).
[10] “Freedom and equality are political principles determined not by a transcendental
authority, before which all humans qua humans are equal, nor by a general human fate
like death, which one day takes all men equally from the world. Rather, they are
intrinsically worldly principles, which grow up directly from the coming together...” (“The
Hungarian Revolution and Totalitarian Imperialism” in Thinking Without a Bannister,
135).
[11] “[T]hey found it easy to think of passion in terms of desire and to banish from it any
connotation of its original meaning, which is prattein: to suffer and to endure. This lack
of experience gives their theories, even if they are sound, an air of lightminded, a certain
weightlessness which will put into jeopardy their durability. For humanly speaking, it is
endurance which enable man to create durability and continuity” (On Revolution, 95).
[12] “The modern growth of worldlessness, the withering away of everything between us,
can also be described as the spread of the desert” (“Epilogue” in The Promise of Politics,
201).
[13] “transform the desert into a world...through the conjoined faculties of passion and
action” (“Epilogue,” 202).
[14] [The condition for action are these passions] as “only those who can endure the
passion of living under desert conditions can be trusted to summon up in themselves the
courage that lies at the root of action, of becoming an active being” (“Epilogue,” 202).
[15] “[World-disclosing passions are measured] not in the force with which the passion
affects the soul, but rather by the amount of reality the passion transmits to it” (Men in
Dark Times, 6).
The Keynote Lecture of our two day Spring Conference:
Between Power and Authority: Arendt on the Constitution and the Courts
The U.S. Supreme Court today faces a crisis of legitimacy. More than half of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Court—the lowest in over three decades. Following a slate of rulings on abortion, affirmative action, student debt, and freedom of religion, an increasing number of Americans no longer believe the Court is impartial, viewing it as simply another partisan institution. As a result, many are calling for various reforms of the Court, including term limits and packing the court. At the same time, the Court has, even at this moment, has struck down racially motivated gerrymandering in Alabama and has refused to accept the Independent State Legislature Theory that would allow states to overturn the will of their voters. There is little doubt that politics is at play in the Supreme Court; at the same time, the Court still gives credence to the idea of the rule of law and not men.
In On Revolution, Hannah Arendt places the American constitutional tradition at the center of her inquiry into the founding and preserving of political freedom. The success of the American Revolution, for her, consisted in two things: its unleashing of citizen power through the principle of federalist dispersion of power and its institutionalization of authority in the Supreme Court and the United States Constitution. Regarding the former, Arendt argues that the embrace of federalism allowed for the multiplication and flourishing of power within a stable system. Regarding the latter, Arendt offers an original reading of the Supreme Court as the successor of the Roman Senate. The Court's authority combined with the surprising fact that the Constitution came to be worshiped allowed the United States to achieve authority for its laws absent religious sanction. This authority tied together permanence and change, permitting the country to develop and grow while also maintaining order and stability. In short, the combination of power and authority that emerged from the worship of the United States Constitution became the modern condition for the possibility of founding free government.
This conference aims to bring together scholars of Arendt’s constitutional thought and those working in political and legal theory more broadly to pursue the following questions: Is the Supreme Court still a legal institution, one that wields and deserves the authority imbued by the rule of law? Is the Supreme Court simply an undemocratic institution of power? If the latter, should we abandon the charade that the Supreme Court is above politics? Or, should we work to uphold the reality and the illusion that the Court is a legal and not simply a political institution? Any answers to these questions request that we face what is lost if and when the Supreme Court is no longer recognized as a seat of authority. We are especially interested in papers that address: Arendt’s conception of power and/or authority, Arendt’s constitutional and/or legal theory, and the relevance of all of this for current discussions of the Supreme Court and constitutional politics.
Registration and Format
The event will take place in-person and will be free and open to the public. Please direct any questions to Nicholas Dunn ([email protected]).

Plato’s Mathematics and His Theory of Forms
Sophia Stone, Lynn University
Friday, March 8, 2024

Hegeman 204APlato reserved high esteem for mathematics, even saying in the Laws that learning mathematics was a necessity, that without the use or knowledge of mathematics, ‘a man cannot become a God to the world, nor a spirit, nor yet a hero, nor able earnestly to think and care for man.’ Bertrand Russell remarks on this passage in The Study of Mathematics, “Such was Plato’s judgment of mathematics; but the mathematicians do not read Plato, while those who read him know no mathematics, and regard his opinion upon this question as merely a curious aberration,” (Russell 1963, p. 85).
Reflecting on Bertrand Russell’s ruminations about Plato, it is well known, though we no longer have direct evidence, that before the entrance to Plato’s Academy was the inscription, “no one should enter here unless he is a geometer.” Sprinkled throughout Plato’s dialogues are geometry problems (Meno), statements about the Odd and the Even (Phaedo, Euthyphro, Parmenides), and of course, that well known claim in his Republic VII, 526g-527c that while there are two kinds of numbers, those used in practical endeavors like star gazing and military soldier formation on the one hand, and those that can only be grasped in the mind on the other, that even those who are slow at calculation or reasoning, if they are educated in it, even if they gain nothing else, improve and generally become sharper in thinking than they were. So if mathematics, and especially the study of geometry, improves the quality of the soul and makes it easier to see the form of the Good (526e-527b6-8), then could Plato’s treatment of mathematics in his dialogues tell us something about his theory of forms?
In this talk, I’ll lay out some of the problems of understanding Plato’s theory of forms and why we have yet to solve these problems. While Plato saw the form-sensible relation as essentially a non-expressible mathematical relation, contemporary scholars commonly think of the form-sensible relation in terms of sets and its members. My own view is that we are unable to solve the problems of understanding Plato’s theory of forms because of our own advances in mathematics.Sponsored by: Classical Studies Program; Mathematics Program; Philosophy Program.

Molemo Moiloa: Becoming Ungovernable
Friday, March 8, 2024
12–2 pm
Online Event12 PM New York l 6 PM Vienna
The OSUN Center for Human Rights and the Arts presents Molemo Moiloa, discussing the notion of becoming ungovernable in an effort to tap into our capacities to form new worlds in times of collapse. She shares her interdisciplinary contemporary practice, which centers on land justice and heritage restitution, anchored in South Africa’s histories of resistance and world-building. The talk discusses developing strategies for collective and collaborative processes and forms of knowledge. Building from localized and Indigenous understandings, Moiloa draws on the deep connection with and guidance from other parts of the African continent.
Molemo Moiloa lives in Johannesburg and works in various capacities at the intersection of creative practice and community organizing. Her current research focuses on notions of ungovernability, social infrastructures of cultural organizing, and relationships with nature. She is one half of the artist collaboration MADEYOULOOK, which explores everyday popular imaginaries and their modalities for knowledge production. Moiloa also co-leads the Open Restitution Africa project, a research platform for the restitution of African heritage under the auspices of Andani.Africa. She also co-leads ungovernable, an experiment in community practice and ungovernability.
Moderated by José Luis Falconi, University of Connecticut.

IAT Lecture Series: Divisions that Define Us
Bruce Chilton, Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Philosophy and Religion; Director, Institute of Advanced Theology
Monday, March 11, 2024
12–1:30 pm
Bard HallDuring the past two millennia, systemic ruptures in the understanding of religion and society have shaped the cultural contours of all the lands that once comprised the Roman Empire. These schisms have of course featured in the histories of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, but they also have exerted a profound influence on the ways that people in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and later the Americas conceive of themselves of their relations with one another. Our series will deal in order with: (1) the emergence of Christianity from Judaism and the resulting contention, (2) the breach between the Latin West and the Greek East after the conversion of Constantine, (3) the rise of Islam and the proclamation of the Crusades, (4) the Reformation and its consequences, and (5) the opposition between religion and science in the modern period.
This series will be on the following Mondays at noon: March 11, March 25, April 8, and April 22.Sponsored by: The Institute for Advanced Theology.

The Keith Haring Lecture in Art and Activism: Suki Kim
Introduced by Tom Keenan, Professor of Comparative Literature
Director, Human Rights Program, Bard College
Tuesday, March 12, 2024
5–7 pm
CCS Bard, Classroom 102Suki Kim (2023–24 Keith Haring Fellow) is an investigative journalist, novelist, and the only writer ever to have lived undercover in North Korea for immersive journalism. Kim’s New York Times bestseller Without You, There Is No Us: Undercover Among the Sons of North Korea’s Elite (Penguin Random House) is an unprecedented literary documentation of the world’s most secretive gulag nation during the final year of Kim Jong Il’s reign.
Kim’s novel, The Interpreter (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) was the PEN Open Book Award winner and a PEN Hemingway Prize finalist, and her nonfiction has appeared in the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Washington Post, Harper’s, the Atlantic, the New Republic, and the New Yorker. Her groundbreaking essay, “The Reluctant Memoirist” (TNR), exposed sexism and racism in publishing and the systematic undermining of female expertise. Her investigation of the sexual harassment at WNYC, the nation’s largest public radio station, for New York Magazine, voted as Longreads’ “Best Investigative Reporting,” led to its internal shakedown, from the dismissal of its longest-serving program hosts to the eventual exit of its president. Her essay on fear for Lapham’s Quarterly was published in the Best American Essays series.
Awards include a Guggenheim, George Soros Open Society fellowship, Fulbright Senior Scholar Grant, American Academy Berlin Prize, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study fellowship at Harvard University, as well as serving as a Ferris professor of Creative Nonfiction at Princeton University. Her TED Talk has drawn millions of viewers, and Kim was the 2020 Convocation Keynote Speaker at Barnard College, Columbia University, and she has appeared in the media around the world including CNN, BBC, CBS, NBC, and the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Kim is at work on a nonfiction book (W.W. Norton), The Prince and the Revolutionary: Children of War, which was shortlisted for a 2022 Lukas Prize work-in-progess, given by Columbia University School of Journalism and Harvard’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies; Human Rights Program.

Liberal Education in Illiberal Contexts: Student Perspectives from Hungary and the United States
Wednesday, March 13, 2024
9–10 am
Online Event9 AM New York l 2 PM Vienna
A rise in authoritarianism, often associated with growing populism and nationalism, has created conditions for a new wave of opposition to liberal education. This vital event brings together students studying in liberal education programs in which higher education has come under attack: Hungary and the US. Both places have seen significant shifts in their political and educational climates, and in many instances, debates over academic freedom and the role of education in democracy have taken center stage.
Through personal anecdotes, insightful discussions, and a Q&A session, our panelists will explore the nuances of being liberal arts and sciences students in environments that may not always embrace the open-mindedness and critical thinking these disciplines advocate. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the global landscape of liberal education in diverse political climates and will be invited to engage with firsthand accounts of the unyielding pursuit of intellectual growth against the backdrop of illiberalism.

Engaged Research Global Webinar: Working with Professionals to Develop Skills–Integrating
Academic and Endogenous Knowledge
Wednesday, March 13, 2024
9–10:30 am
Online Event9 AM New York l 2 PM Vienna
Amplifying the Voices of Engaged Researchers Around the World, an initiative created by OSUN and the Talloires Network of Engaged Universities, supports the development of long-term, sustainable community partnerships as a central component of research. This community of practice (COP) meets regularly to share ideas and strategies for engaged scholarship across geo-political boundaries, while creating new knowledge and lasting ties among engaged researchers. Now the COP is presenting a series of global webinars spolighting issues that arise during presenters' experiences with community engagement.
This workshop provides an opportunity to reflect on the pedagogical, epistemological, methodological, and political implications of working with communities to improve or develop professional skills in engaged research processes. The six presenters are developing projects which involve training members of the community to apply certain techniques.
They will discuss how their projects address the following dilemmas: How can we develop professional skills in ways that preserve and nurture Indigenous / endogenous wisdom? How do we deal with moral, practical or technical discrepancies about professional work between academic researchers and local practitioners? In what way is the introduction of methods or techniques in local communities colonialist, and what cautions should we take to prevent epistemological colonialism?
After the presentations, audience members are invited to join the discussion so they can reference their own engaged research work.

Virtual Gaza: Notes on Martial Design
Ali Musleh, Columbia University Center for Palestine Studies
Thursday, March 14, 2024
5–7 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumSiege warfare and occupation as conducted by the Israeli state are in permanent beta phase. AI-powered systems of targeting, remote and robotic weaponry, terraforming munitions, algorithmic governance, mass shock-and-awe assaults—these, among other forms of violence, are all treated as tests in an endless iterative loop. With each incursion into Palestinian lifeworlds, new terrains of intervention are opened up to the power and forces of design, from the nervous system of the occupied to the subterranean spaces of armed insurgency. With a focus on Gaza since the turn of the 21st Century, this talk explores design as a spirit of approach to settler-colonial warfare. It shows how conceptualizing design as war can offer new insights into settler colonialism’s virtual potential to generate new and emergent forms of horror. Imprisoned within Israel’s iterative design abyss, a virtual Gaza is formed and reformed without telos or end, one where the designers of armed violence give themselves up to an open-ended process of becoming with weapons that implicates the entirety of settler society.
Ali H. Musleh is the Ibrahim Abu-Lughod Postdoctoral Fellow at the Columbia University Center for Palestine Studies. He is also associate researcher at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UH-M) Hawaiʻi Research Center for Futures Studies. In 2022, he received his PhD from the Department of Political Science at UHM, where he taught global politics and political design and futuristics.Sponsored by: Art History and Visual Culture Program; Center for Human Rights and the Arts; Middle Eastern Studies Program.

Indigenous Student Association Meeting
Thursday, March 14, 2024
6–7 pm
Campus Center, Red Room 203This club will be started to create representation for Indigenous students that are a part of Bard’s campus. Cultural representation has been taken away from us, and the spark of cultural appropriation hides the truth of who we are and what our traditions are. Bard has many organizations for other students of color on campus, each having their own unique identity. I want to give a place where there is representation for specifically Indigenous students on campus. This association is not only made for students with Native blood, but for those who want to help us break the generations worth of misinformation, to become educated, hopefully getting inspired to educate the rest of the Bard community. People not only should know the true history, but the culture of different Indigenous peoples. I want to give students confidence, to not be ashamed of their heritage, but instead, be proud of it.

My Science Spectrum: Creating an Eclectic Academic Career and Broadening Inclusivity
Emily Rice, CUNY
Friday, March 15, 2024
1–1 pm
Hegeman 107The landscape of academic science has changed significantly in recent decades and is poised to change even more in the future. We can leverage these cultural changes to create an environment that is both inclusive to more people and more effective in preparing students (science majors and non-majors alike) for a wider variety of careers and more broadly defined success. I’ll share my own path to science and a variety of science projects I have been involved in along the way to becoming tenured faculty at the City University of New York, including: planetarium shows, parody music videos, media appearances, an concept-oriented lab manual, Astronomy on Tap public outreach events, STARtorialist science fashion blog and shop, the AstroCom NYC research mentorship program, and last but certainly not least, the BDNYC brown dwarf research group. The implicit mission that connects these eclectic projects is to expand support for, participation in, and even the definition of science.

Campus Center, George Ball LoungeOur mission is to stimulate members of the Bard College community to explore intellectual, political, cultural, and social issues that are of importance to the Black community and America as a whole. Black History and current race issues are articulated through dialogue, cultural performances, music, lectures, and art. Race and politics are issues that are often recognized on our campus in through our academic curriculum. However, we as an organization feel that it is necessary to find creative ways to take that experience beyond the classroom brining the links between race, politics, academics, and social life to fruition in the hopes that awareness will spark action and ignite change in our communities.

IAT Lecture Series: Divisions that Define Us
Bruce Chilton, Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Philosophy and Religion; Director, Institute of Advanced Theology
Monday, March 25, 2024
12–1:30 pm
Bard HallDuring the past two millennia, systemic ruptures in the understanding of religion and society have shaped the cultural contours of all the lands that once comprised the Roman Empire. These schisms have of course featured in the histories of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, but they also have exerted a profound influence on the ways that people in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and later the Americas conceive of themselves of their relations with one another. Our series will deal in order with: (1) the emergence of Christianity from Judaism and the resulting contention, (2) the breach between the Latin West and the Greek East after the conversion of Constantine, (3) the rise of Islam and the proclamation of the Crusades, (4) the Reformation and its consequences, and (5) the opposition between religion and science in the modern period.
This series will be on the following Mondays at noon: March 25, April 8, and April 22.Sponsored by: The Institute for Advanced Theology.

A Reading by Brian Evenson
The 2019 Shirley Jackson Award winner reads from his work
Monday, March 25, 2024
4:30–5:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaNovelist and short story writer Brian Evenson will read from new work at Bard College on Monday, March 25 at 5:00 pm in Weis Cinema, located in the Bertelsmann Campus Center. Evenson is the author of a dozen books of fiction, most recently the story collection The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell (2021), and the Weird West microcollection Black Bark (2023). The reading, which is being presented as part of Bradford Morrow’s course on innovative contemporary fiction, is free and open to the public.
Evenson’s collection Song for the Unraveling of the World (2019) won the Shirley Jackson Award and the World Fantasy Award, and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times’ Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculative Fiction. Previous books have won the American Library Association’s RUSA Prize Award and the International Horror Guild Award, and have been finalists for the Edgar Award. He is the recipient of three O. Henry Prizes, an NEA fellowship, and a Guggenheim Award. His work has been translated into more than a dozen languages. A new book, Good Night, Sleep Tight, will be published by Coffee House Press in September of 2024. He lives in Los Angeles and teaches at CalArts.
“There is not a more intense, prolific, or apocalyptic writer of fiction in America than Brian Evenson.” —George Saunders
“Brian Evenson is one of the most consistently vital and unnerving voices in writing today. . . . No matter where you start with Evenson’s work, the door is wide ajar, and once you go through it you won't be coming out.” —VICE
“Brian Evenson is one of my favorite living horror writers.” —Carmen Maria Machado
“You’ve heard of ‘postmodern’ stories—well, Evenson’s stories are post-everything. They are post-human, post-reason, post-apocalyptic. . . . In an Evenson story, there are two horrible things that can happen to you. You can either fail to survive, or survive.” — New York Times

The Secret History of Erasurism:
Image-Music-Text
Michel Delville, University of Liège
Monday, March 25, 2024
5:30–7 pm
Olin Language Center, Room 115Erasurism consolidates and expands cut-up, collagist, plagiarist, and other foundational techniques of avant-gardist détournement—intersecting on the one hand with the writing-through experiments of John Cage and Jackson MacLow, and with what Kenneth Goldsmith recently theorized and promoted as “uncreative writing”; and on the other with interventionist strategies which seek to reassert the critical and revolutionary potential of experimentalism against the aporias of postmodern pastiche.
Erasurist poetics can be broadly characterized by its interdisciplinary and transmedial nature. In addition to literary examples this talk will be devoted to experiments with poetry off the page and other transmedial works such as Jochen Gerner’s abstract reduction of Hergé’s comics (TNT en Amérique) and Martin Arnold’s uncanny Walt Disney blackouts in Shadow Cuts.
Michel Delville is a lecturer, writer, and musician born in Belgium. He teaches English, American, and comparative literature at the University of Liège, where he directs the Interdisciplinary Center for Applied Poetics. He is the author or coauthor of ca. twenty books including The American Prose Poem (1998), J.G. Ballard (1998), Hamlet & Co (2001), Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and the Secret History of Maximalism (2005; w. Andrew Norris), Eating the Avant-Garde (2009), Crossroads Poetics (2013), Radiohead : OK Computer (2015), Undoing Art (2017; w. Mary Ann Caws), and The Politics and Aesthetics of Hunger and Disgust (2017; w. Andrew Norris), as well as several poetry collections.Sponsored by: French Studies Program; Literature Program.

Gabriele Parrino on Reconciling Freedom and Authority: Thinking Democracy with Hannah Arendt and the Roman Tradition
Tuesday, March 26, 2024
6–7 pm
Arendt CenterThe thesis I’m proposing delves into Hannah Arendt’s political ontology by examining the influence of Roman Political Thought on her understanding of authority and freedom. It begins by analyzing the negative portrayals of Romanitas by G.W. Friedrich
Hegel and Martin Heidegger. These two German authors exerted significant influence in negating the originality of Roman legacy. In their philosophy of history, Rome emerges as an overshadowing dominating force that eclipses the original root of philosophy stemming from Greek “pure” philosophy.
Contrary to this hegemonic and paradigmatic position in contemporary philosophy, Arendt’s reinterpretation of concepts such as auctoritas, lex, and libertas serves as a positive rehabilitation of Romanness. Through Arendt's work, not only becomes possible
to recover the political depth of the Roman Tradition, but also to establish the groundwork for an institutional model capable of reconciling freedom and authority within a mixed constitution, without overly emphasizing the novelty of action or the
abstract absoluteness of foundational moments.
The reinterpretation of the constitutive essence of institutions, rooted in the works of Cicero, Virgil, and Livy, finds resonance in the democratic theories advocated by scholars deeply influenced by Hannah Arendt's philosophy, such as Claude Lefort, Jacques Rancière, and Sheldon Wolin. However, these contemporary thinkers, while grappling with the challenge of reconciling the moment of action with its enduring significance, inadvertently leave space for either anarchism or a form of representative democracy that diminishes the vitality of action. This underscores the importance of embracing the Arendtian insights, which, when brought together by the Roman Tradition and her understanding of the council system, represent a way of conceptualizing democracy in a constitutive, contingent, and always productive tension
between form and event.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.

Unsettled
Lecture Performance by Argyro Nicolaou
Tuesday, March 26, 2024
6–7:30 pm
Weis Cinema, Campus CenterUnsettled is a lecture performance by scholar and filmmaker Argyro Nicolaou that explores the fast-changing landscapes of an island under occupation and her attempts to reconstruct her mother’s past.
The town of Varosha on the eastern coast of Cyprus, where Nicolaou’s mother is from, was fenced off by the occupying Turkish military for 46 years. Since the Greek-backed coup d’etat and Turkish invasion of 1974 that divided the island and displaced a third of its population, Varosha was neither settled nor demolished. It turned into a “ghost town”.
In 2006, a family friend entered the town undetected, snuck into the family’s ancestral home, and recovered a childhood diary that belonged to Nicolaou’s mother. This was the closest Nicolaou came to witnessing her mother’s life before she was displaced, until October 2020, when the Turkish military opened Varosha to the public, and the two women were able to visit the town together for the first time.

Imposter Syndrome in STEM
Geillan Aly, Compassionate Math
Wednesday, March 27, 2024
1:30–3:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumThe field of STEM offers many personal and professional rewards. However, emotions may stand in the way of such rewards. In this workshop, we will explore imposter syndrome and other socioemotional phenomena which may affect one’s ability to engage with and succeed in a field as competitive and demanding as those in STEM. Participants will have an opportunity to explore and reflect on their feelings towards studying STEM. Participants begin by reflecting on and sharing their previous learning experiences to place these experiences in context, learning that: (1) they are not alone; (2) their experiences are likely not tied to them as an individual, but are a result of sociohistorical forces. This allows students to think deeply and critically about how they approach their studies. Participants then reorient themselves based on these new realizations and their motivation to succeed. This reorientation includes strategies and tips for studying, focusing on learning mathematics in particular. Finally the workshop gives participants an opportunity to work on a mathematical problem, setting the stage for a positive opportunity to engage with mathematics and their other studies. All participants are encouraged to participate in small-group and whole session discussions throughout the program, reducing the “I’m alone” stigma and forming bonds with others in the group. They are also encouraged to continue working and studying together after the workshop is completed.
Dr. Geillan Aly, the Founder of Compassionate Math, is a math educator who centers the socioemotional factors that contribute to success in mathematics. She holds the fundamental assumption that learning math is both an emotional and cognitive endeavor. A former award-winning Assistant Professor who has taught for over fifteen years, Dr. Aly transforms math classrooms through engaging professional development and student-focused workshops that center emotions while establishing a culture of engaging with rigorous mathematics. She received her PhD in Teaching and Teacher Education and Master’s in Mathematics from the University of Arizona. Underlying Dr. Aly’s work is a dedication to equity and social justice. She enjoys traveling and seeing live music and is an avid chef, wife, and mother to a beautiful boy.Sponsored by: Dean of the College; Division of Science, Mathematics, and Computing; Office of Equity and Inclusion.

“Hannah Arendt Quits Smoking” – A Staged Reading of a New Play by the Kansas Collective
Wednesday, March 27, 2024
5:30–7:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaHannah Arendt loves smoking. It is part of her intellectual process. The image of her constantly with a cigarette in hand is iconic. It is interwoven into the very idea of the European expatriate thinker in the United States after WWII. And she wants to quit. Now. So on the advice of her friend, the famed novelist Mary McCarthy, Arendt arrives at a fashionable therapist’s office on a rainy day in 1970s New York. In “Hannah Arendt Quits Smoking,” we meet the famed political theorist at a moment of atypical and somewhat uncomfortably American self-improvement. Cigarettes straddle the old world and the new, complicating European and German Jewish identity in the face of American assimilation. But will she be successful? Can Hannah Arendt ultimately quit smoking? Taking its lead from the recent revival of Arendt on both the academic stage as well as her inescapable presence in all discussions on totalitarianism, “Hannah Arendt Quits Smoking” captures the daily challenges of the philosopher’s life – full of surprises and truth, and a journey that comes full circle by giving up those addictions we most love.

Levy Institute Research Program of Gender Equality and the Economy: A Speaker Series Featuring Jomaira Salas Pujols, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Bard College
Thursday, March 28, 2024
5–6 pm
BlithewoodThe Gender Equality and the Economy Program of the Levy Economics Institute hosts a speaker series with practitioners and scholars across disciplines from around the globe to address the ever-relevant topic of “Gender Equality and the Economy.” Speakers will present their research and discuss differing approaches to economic analyses through a gender lens. The series highlights the importance of taking an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the implications of how gender and economic inequalities intersect in history, policy, and the everyday.
Join us for our fourth session with Jomaira Salas Pujols, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Bard College, on Thursday, March 28, from 5pm to 6pm in the Blithewood Conference Room, or on Zoom. Dr. Pujols's presentation will be followed by an open Q&A session with audience members—both those in person and on Zoom are welcome to ask questions.
Light refreshments will be served. Register to attend via Zoom here.
Abstract
Social scientists have long attended to how Black and other marginalized groups articulate critiques of class exploitation and socioeconomic disparities. This research sheds light into the mechanisms through which Black individuals come to identify economic oppression and how they leverage these insights to engage in community and political organizing. Too often missing from this narrative, however, are the voices of Black youth, who not only face chronic unemployment but are also impacted by decades of urban and school divestment. In this talk, I turn to the voices and experiences of high school-aged Black girls to examine how they articulate the motivations and impact of educational funding inequities. I argue that Black girls display a keen awareness of the relationship between anti-Blackness and the chronic underfunding of public education, and document how their insights can offer us frameworks for moving from critical consciousness into action.
Jomaira Salas Pujols, PhD is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Bard College. Her research sits at the intersection of race, place, gender, and education. Her current book project, Black Girls Journeying, examines how Black girls draw on their movement through place to identify and challenge educational injustice—a concept she theorizes as journeying. Her research has been published in the Youth & Society journal and has been supported by the National Science Foundation and Ford Foundation. Professor Salas Pujols’s other research interests include the study of Afro-Latina girlhood, Black girls’ perceptions of school dress codes, and the racialized legacies of punishment in school.

Indigenous Student Association Meeting
Thursday, March 28, 2024
6–7 pm
Campus Center, Red Room 203This club will be started to create representation for Indigenous students that are a part of Bard’s campus. Cultural representation has been taken away from us, and the spark of cultural appropriation hides the truth of who we are and what our traditions are. Bard has many organizations for other students of color on campus, each having their own unique identity. I want to give a place where there is representation for specifically Indigenous students on campus. This association is not only made for students with Native blood, but for those who want to help us break the generations worth of misinformation, to become educated, hopefully getting inspired to educate the rest of the Bard community. People not only should know the true history, but the culture of different Indigenous peoples. I want to give students confidence, to not be ashamed of their heritage, but instead, be proud of it.

Screening of Rock. Paper. Grenade (2022)
with filmmaker Iryna Tsilyk in person!
Friday, March 29, 2024
5–7:30 pm
Avery AuditoriumSet in 1990s Ukraine, this spanning coming-of-age story follows Tymophii and his friendship with a peculiar but intriguing older man whose entire life is shrouded in secrecy. Based on the autobiography "Who Are You?" by Artem Chekh, this drama—with glints of humor—presents a portrait of post-Soviet life that addresses the traumas of war by shuttling between the domestic and public, the personal and the communal. Critic Rich Cline writes, “Shot in superbly visual sets and locations, the film’s narrative unfolds in understated anecdotal scenes that feel bracingly true to life.”
Iryna Tsilyk is a Ukrainian film director and writer. She is the director of the award-winning documentary film The Earth is Blue as an Orange, which received the award for the best director at the Sundance Film Festival 2020, as well as dozens of other prestigious honors. Tsilyk is also the director of the fiction film Rock. Paper. Grenade based on the novel "Who Are You?" by Ukrainian writer and Iryna's husband Artem Chekh. Additionally, Iryna Tsilyk is the author of 8 books (poetry, prose, children's editions). Her poems and short stories have been translated into several languages and published in a number of international literary magazines and anthologies. During Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, Iryna also began writing columns and essays for various international publications and has been engaged in cultural diplomacy for her country. Iryna and her family live in Kyiv. Iryna’s husband, Ukrainian writer Artem Ckekh, is serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.Sponsored by: Film and Electronic Arts Program; Human Rights Program; Russian/Eurasian Studies Program.
