National Climate Seminar: Carbon Pricing and Washington State
KC Golden, Senior Adviser, Climate Solutions
Wednesday, March 1, 2017
12–1 pm
https://bluejeans.com/678425365 On March 1st, tune in with KC Golden, Senior Adviser of Climate Solutions.
"The key here ... is a strong nexus between the problem, the money, and the solutions. If climate policy is understood as real solutions and a just, inclusive transition to clean energy, it can win. If it’s just about paying more for energy (while the green elites zip off to Teslala land), forget it." --KC Golden, Climate Solutions
Golden serves on the boards of 350.org and the US Climate Action Network. He was one of Seattle Magazine's "Power 25" most influential people, and its #1 "Eco-Hero." In 2012, he received the Heinz Award for Public Policy. Gorden earned his Bachelor's Degree at the University of California, Berkeley, and was a Kennedy Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where he received a Master's in Public Policy.

Symmetries of Fractals
Jim Belk, Mathematics Program
Thursday, March 2, 2017
4:45 pm
Hegeman 308A fractal is a geometric figure that exhibits a self-similar structure, meaning that the same patterns appear at a range of different scales. In this talk, I will explore the notion of symmetry in mathematics, and then describe some symmetries of fractal shapes that reflect their self-similar structure. The algebra of these symmetries can have certain unusual features, and I will discuss some surprising results that have been uncovered about this algebra as part of my research. This talk should be accessible to all math majors.
Refreshments to follow immediately in the Math Common Room.Sponsored by: Mathematics Program.

True Believer: Stalin's Last American Spy
Thursday, March 2, 2017
6–8 pm
Bard Hall, Multipurpose Room, 410 West 58th Street, New York, NY 10019Kati Marton, author of True Believer: Stalin's Last American Spy, will discuss the book in conversation with moderator Tim Naftali, Clinical Associate Professor of Public Service at NYU Wagner and co-director of NYU’s Center for the United States and the Cold War.
In True Believer: Stalin’s Last American Spy (Simon & Schuster; September 6, 2016) award-winning journalist and best-selling author Kati Marton tells Noel Field’s full story for the first time. Field, once a well-meaning and privileged American, spied for Stalin during the 1930s and ’40s. Then, a pawn in Stalin’s sinister master strategy, Field was kidnapped and tortured by the KGB and forced to testify against his own Communist comrades. He ended his days behind the Iron Curtain, diminished, but he never showed regret for his role in abetting a murderous dictatorship. With a reporter’s eye for detail and a historian’s grasp of the cataclysmic events of the twentieth century, Marton captures Field’s riveting quest for a life of meaning that went horribly wrong.
Kati Marton is the author of True Believer: Stalin’s Last American Spy and Enemies of the People: My Family’s Journey to America, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Her other books include Paris: A Love Story; The Great Escape: Nine Jews Who Fled Hitler and Changed the World; Hidden Power: Presidential Marriages That Shaped Our History; Wallenberg; The Polk Conspiracy; and A Death in Jerusalem. She is an award-winning former NPR and ABC News correspondent. She lives in New York City.
This event is part of the James Clarke Chace Memorial Speaker Series, which is supported by Foreign Affairs.
This event is free and open to the public by RSVP on Eventbrite. Reception and book signing to follow.

Big Planets from Small Telescopes:
What We’re Learning About Exoplanets and How Small Observatories Are Making It Possible
Eric L. N. Jensen
Swarthmore College
Friday, March 3, 2017
12 pm
Hegeman 107Since the discovery of the first extrasolar planet a little more than 20 years ago, the list of known planets orbiting other stars has grown to more than 3,000—but we are still in the early stages of understanding the diversity of other planetary systems. A key part of this understanding has come from studies of planets that eclipse (or “transit”) their host stars as seen from Earth. I will explain how studies of these planets allow us to determine their radii, masses, mean densities, atmospheric composition, and the angle at which they orbit relative to the parent star’s equator, all without being able to image the planets directly. Small telescopes (with primary mirror diameters of 0.3–1 meter) play an important role in the larger “ecosystem” of telescopes that discover and characterize these planets, and such telescopes have been instrumental in the recent discoveries of planets around very bright stars that are much hotter than the Sun, and in the just-announced discovery of seven Earth-radius planets around the ultra-cool dwarf star Trappist-1.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

"I am not a Feminist. I am a Graffitera:" Performing Feminist Community without Feminist Identity
Jessica Pabon
Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
SUNY New Paltz
Monday, March 6, 2017
4:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaIn cities across the globe, graffiti grrlz (women who write graffiti art) enact the quintessential principles of feminist movement such as collectivity, support, and empowerment. They do so, however, without claiming a feminist identity; some emphatically rejecting a feminist mantle. In her talk, feminist graffiti scholar Dr. Jessica N. Pabón asks: do we need to call ourselves feminists in order to enact feminist change in the world? Incorporating the ethos of “action above words” that defines graffiti subculture, Pabón argues that the question of who is or is not a feminist becomes secondary to how feminism is being enacted through everyday performance.
Case studies are drawn from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Brazil as well as the United States.

Tea & a Reading with Eleni Sikélianòs
The two-time winner of the Gertrude Stein Award for Innovative American Writing meets with students and faculty and reads her poems
Thursday, March 9, 2017
3:30–7 pm
Shafer House and Bard Hall***Please note the corrected location information below. The late afternoon tea for Bard students, staff, and faculty takes place in Shafer House. Only the 6:00 p.m. public reading will be in Bard Hall.***
On Thursday, March 9th, the John Ashbery Poetry Series presents tea and a reading with Eleni Sikélianòs.
From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Bard students and staff are warmly invited to stop by Shafer House (the Written Arts office building at the Annandale Triangle) to take tea and light refreshments with Sikélianòs.
At 6:00 p.m., Sikélianòs reads from her work in Bard Hall. Introduced by Ann Lauterbach and followed by a conversation and Q&A, the reading is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required.
Sikélianòs is the author of The Loving Detail of the Living & the Dead, Body Clock, The Book of Jon, The California Poem, The Monster Lives of Boys & Girls, Earliest Worlds, The Book of Tendons, and To Speak While Dreaming.
“In Make Yourself Happy, Eleni Sikélianòs evinces a neuro-psychological state counter to the miswrought biology that has haunted the Occident since the dawn of Roman times. These poems open the neurology to its whole participation in the psycho-physical field and are not unlike the seminal amplification of indigenous culture, where the language of the body simultaneously circulates with living metastates. These poems organically form as environmental respiration that only the poet can approach in the latter days of this techno-hypercritical epoch.”—Will Alexander
“Electric as a lightning storm, wild as a first-growth forest, protean as fantasy’s shape-shifters—that’s Sikélianòs’s poetry.” —Library Journal
“Eleni’s language—body-language, breath, and babies’ many minds behind—a poem that won’t let you go til it’s done with you, its sinuous whipping lines.” —Gary Snyder
“The Book of Jon is a wonderful memoir, held together by string, rumor, glimpses of a father—and there is nothing like this father in literature—evoked toughly and with great love and above all art and craft. Both subject and author are unforgettable. We see a life approached informally from all sides and we read an obituary to die for.” —Michael OndaatjeSponsored by: John Ashbery Poetry Series.

IWT Curriculum Conversation: Lord of the Flies
An Allegorical Tale of Democracy and Survival
Friday, March 10, 2017
8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Campus Center, Multipurpose RoomWilliam Golding’s tale of schoolboys cast away on a Pacific island after a nuclear attack has inspired dystopias as disparate as The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Ender’s Game, and Lost. Since the 1954 publication of The Lord of the Flies, this provocative story of children illustrates how quickly civility can revert to bloodthirsty savagery. The Lord of the Flies outlines the cruelties even “innocent” children will inflict when fear reigns. As one boy says: “Which is better—to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?” Such questions have spawned an industry of young-adult morality tales where child soldiers, child assassins, and child saviors battle it out for the survival of democracy—and of kindness, mercy, and love.
Why are such dark stories popular with young adults? How do they reflect the current views on politics, the economy, and the environment? What does The Lord of the Flies teach us about the roles young people can play in combating chaos, tyranny, and paranoia?

Visualizing Quantum Gravity:
A pictorial introduction to causal dynamical triangulations
Joshua Cooperman, Physics Program
Friday, March 10, 2017
12 pm
Hegeman 107Quantum gravity is the much sought-after synthesis of quantum mechanics and general relativity, the two pillars of contemporary physics. I will deliver an accessible introduction to the promising approach to quantum gravity called causal dynamical triangulations. Founding my presentation on the quantum mechanics of a particle, I will build an intuitive conception of the quantum mechanics of spacetime. I will survey the key results deriving from causal dynamical triangulations and broach the key question facing causal dynamical triangulations.

The Institute of Advanced Theology Lenten Lecture Luncheon Series with Bruce Chilton: The Sons of Herod, Jesus, and the Rabbis
The Sons of Herod, Jesus, and the Rabbis
Friday, March 10, 2017
12:30–1:30 pm
Chapel of the Holy InnocentsThis spring's series will consider the dynamics of political power that shaped Jesus' perspective and finally caused his death. The sons of Herod the Great, Antipas and Philip, were the principal rulers affecting Jesus in Galilee. His dificulty with their policies comes to expression in much of Jesus' teaching, and finally caused him to escape their influence and pursue his aim in Jerusalem. Even there, however, longstanding ties between the Herodians and the Rome regime represented by Pontius Pilate.
Box Lunches will be provided at 12:00 noon. The lunch cost is yet to be determined. Lunch reservations are required by calling 845-758-7279 or e-mailing [email protected]. The Lecture Series is free and open to the public.

A Reading by Robert Olen Butler
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author reads from his most recent novel, Perfume River
Monday, March 13, 2017
2:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaOn Monday, March 13, at 2:30 p.m. in Weis Cinema, Robert Olen Butler reads from his new novel, Perfume River, the sequel to his Pulitzer Prize–winning fiction collection A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain. Sponsored by the Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading Series, introduced by Bradford Morrow, and followed by a Q&A, this event is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required.
Butler is the author of sixteen novels, including Mr. Spaceman and Hell, and six fiction collections, including Tabloid Dreams. His stories have appeared widely in such periodicals as Conjunctions, The New Yorker, Esquire, Harper’s, The Atlantic Monthly, GQ, The Paris Review, VQR, and Granta; as well as in four annual editions of The Best American Short Stories, eight annual editions of New Stories from the South, and elsewhere.
“Butler’s Faulknerian shuttling back and forth across the decades has less to do with literary pyrotechnics than with cutting to the chase. Perfume River hits its marks with a high-stakes intensity. Butler’s prose is fluid, and his handling of his many time-shifts as lucid as it is urgent. His descriptive gifts don’t extend just to his characters’ traits or their Florida and New Orleans settings, but to the history he’s addressing.”—New York Times Book Review
“A deeply meditative reflection on aging and love, as seen through the prism of one family quietly torn asunder by the lingering effects of the Vietnam War. This is thoughtful, introspective fiction of the highest caliber, but it carries a definite edge, thanks to an insistent backbeat that generates suspense with the subtlest of brushstrokes.” —Booklist (starred review)
Any supporter who donates $500 or more to Bard’s literary journal Conjunctions receives a BackPage Pass providing VIP access to any Spring/Fall 2017 or future event in the Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading Series. Have lunch with a visiting author, attend a seminar on their work, and receive premium seating at their reading. Or you can give your BackPage Pass to a lover of literature on your gift list!

A Reading by G. C. Waldrep
The celebrated innovative poet reads from his work
Monday, March 13, 2017
6:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumAt 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 13th, in the László Z. Bitó '60 Auditorium at the Reem-Kayden Center, the John Ashbery Poetry Series presents a reading by renowned poet G. C. Waldrep, author of such books as Goldbeater's Skin, The Batteries, Disclamor, Archicembalo, Your Father on the Train of Ghosts, and Testament.
Introduced by Ann Lauterbach and followed by a conversation and Q&A, the reading is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required.
"Waldrep's title Archicembalo denotes an antique keyboard instrument with 24, or many more, keys per octave. Notoriously hard to play, such instruments made subtle and challenging music, with notes a conventional score could not include. Waldrep's sometimes bewildering, often exciting prose poems make their own unconventional music, replete with slippages, repetitions, suggestions." —New York Times Book Review
"G. C. Waldrep turns the prose poem upside down by focusing on what he knows best—music theory and history, which come to life is compact, language-driven texts.This setup explodes into visionary and audio linguistics that accompany the experience of encountering the poem while transforming the reader's senses into a fresh dimension of understanding."
—Bloomsbury Review
"The poetry of G. C. Waldrep is a prolific liturgy, intense and conversational by turns. And the turning is telling; it comes round right. Bright idioms become bright branches, and the branches become the further architecture of Word. Christopher Smart and Hart Crane applaud these poems in Heaven because the Earth of these poems is true." —Donald RevellSponsored by: John Ashbery Poetry Series.

The Hannah Arendt Edition Series with Susanne Lüdemann: Hannah Arendt and the Problem of Judging (in) Modernity.
Hosted by the Hannah Arendt Center and the German Studies Program
Wednesday, March 15, 2017
6:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 204Hannah Arendt’s engagement with judgment begins in the 1950s. She meets it first of all as an ethical problem posed by the massive breakdown of personal judgment - the capacity to distinguish right from wrong - in the Third Reich. Arendt responds to this issue with her contentious claim about the “banality of evil.” Her formulation sees the industrially organized mass murder not as rooted in a kind of pleasure in or will to evil, and not even in hatred or conviction, but rather as a result of what she calls “thoughtlessness,” that is a specific lack of reflective judgment. On the other hand, Arendt addresses judgment as an 'epistemological' challenge: as the question of how one is to judge this massive breakdown in the capacity for judgment itself; and, how one is to judge, which is historically ‘novel’ in totalitarianism: morally, juridically, philosophically, politically, and historically.
Susanne Lüdemann's talk claims that, from the book on totalitarianism onward, Arendt dedicates her thought and writing to coping with this doubled challenge of judgment through the rupture in civilization in the extermination of the Jews on the one hand, and through the rupture in tradition of Modernity on the other. At the core of Arendt's work, judging and distinguishing are thus not only to be viewed as recurring themes or objects of her thought but also as ways of thinking and writing, as operations performed in her own discursive practice.

Olin Humanities, Room 201Theodore J. Lowi (July 9, 1931 – February 17, 2017) was one of the most influential political scientists of the 20th century. Lowi authored numerous books included the hallmark “The End of Liberalism: The Second Republic of the United States”, along with “The Politics of Disorder”, “American Government: Incomplete Conquest”, and “Hyperpolitics: An Interactive Dictionary of Political Science”. He also edited “The Pursuit of Justice”, Robert F. Kennedy’s book about his tenure as attorney general.
Thomas Dumm is the author of six books that cover a range of topics in political theory and political culture as well as many articles and other essays. Among his books are Loneliness as a Way of Life (Harvard, 2008) and My Father’s House: On Will Barnet’s Paintings (Duke, 2014). He served as the founding co-editor of the international journal of contemporary political thought Theory&Event, as well as a non-fiction editor for the Massachusetts Review. His new book, a meditation on the (im)possibility of being at home in the twenty-first century, is forthcoming with Harvard University Press.

Professor Paul Steinbeck, Washington University in St. Louis
Lecturing on his forthcoming book release, "Message to Our Folks", the first book written about the Art Ensemble of Chicago, one of the most influential groups in jazz and experimental music.
Tuesday, March 28, 2017
6 pm
Olin 104Paul Steinbeck is assistant professor of music theory at Washington University in St. Louis. He is coauthor of Exercises for the Creative Musician, as well as a bassist, composer, and recording artist.
Formed in 1966 and flourishing until 2010, the Art
Ensemble of Chicago was the flagship group of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and one of the longest-lived bands in music history. But what set the Art Ensemble apart from every other group in jazz and experimental music was its unique approach to performance. Members played hundreds of instruments on stage, recited poetry, performed theatrical sketches, and wore face paint, masks, lab coats, and traditional African and Asian dress. The group, which built a global audience and toured across six continents, presented their work as experimental performance art, in opposition to the jazz industry’s traditionalist aesthetics.
In Message to Our Folks, Paul Steinbeck combines musical analysis and historical inquiry to give us the definitive study of the Art Ensemble. In the book, he proposes a new theory of group improvisation that explains how the band members were able to improvise together in so many different styles while drawing on an extensive repertoire of notated compositions. Steinbeck also examines the intermedia dimensions of the Art Ensemble’s performances and the ways in which their distinctive model of social relations kept the band performing together for four decades. Message to Our Folks is a striking and valuable contribution to our understanding of one of the world’s premier musical groups. Sponsored by: Music Program.

Feeling Good is Not Enough: Create a Political Moment. Courage To Be College Seminar Dinner & Lecture Series, with Tania Bruguera
Hosted by: The Hannah Arendt Center
Tuesday, March 28, 2017
6 pm
BlithewoodTo resist is not enough. Filling the streets with bodies can look like a battleground that has created the feeling of an election. Use chants as if they were drums in order to spread the waves of commitment and slogans in order to highlight all the things that are wrong. But the streets are not enough. Be an active individual: it shows them you are not afraid. Learn the language of power, use the verbs they are scared of, publicly unveil their worst nightmare – act for them, not for us. Behave on a one-to-one scale with those you consider responsible. Laugh intelligently but never laugh before you begin. Laugh after your goal is achieved after your opposition is tricked, conflicted and incoherent because you took their power away with a simple human gesture. Don’t laugh about what they do, laugh about what you were able to do to them. What we know is not enough. Be persistent without tiring others. Use forms and actions that are legible for the resistance but new to the repressors. The time you have is the time they are using to figure out how to respond. Feeling good is not enough: create a political moment.
Tania Bruguera was born in 1968 in Havana, Cuba. Bruguera, a politically motivated performance artist, explores the relationship between art, activism, and social change in works that examine the social effects of political and economic power. By creating proposals and aesthetic models for others to use and adapt, she defines herself as an initiator rather than an author, and often collaborates with multiple institutions as well as many individuals so that the full realization of her artwork occurs when others adopt and perpetuate it. She expands the definition and range of performance art, sometimes performing solo but more often staging participatory events and interactions that build on her own observations, experiences, and interpretations of the politics of repression and control. Bruguera has explored both the promise and failings of the Cuban Revolution in performances that provoke viewers to consider the political realities masked by government propaganda and mass-media interpretation. Advancing the concept of arte útil (literally, useful art; art as a benefit and a tool), she proposes solutions to sociopolitical problems through the implementation of art, and has developed long-term projects that include a community center and a political party for immigrants, and a school for behavior art.

Blum N217Currently residing in New York's Hudson Valley region, Kevin Scott's music has been performed by numerous American orchestras and chamber groups. The premiere of Scott’s Fanfare G.A.F in 1984 led to a series of commissions from several New York orchestras, culminating in 1989 when he was appointed resident composer for the RAPP Arts Center in Manhattan, delegated to composing incidental music for various theatrical productions.
In addition to his orchestral and theatre compositions, Scott has also written for chorus, wind ensemble, chamber ensemble and voice, as well as contributing scores for several independent films. He is the recipient of the UniSys African-American Composers Forum award from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the first William Grant Still Memorial Commission sponsored by St. Augustine’s College and Duke University. Scott is also known as a conductor and has worked with numerous orchestras, bands and choral groups in America and Bulgaria.

From the Ham Sandwich to the Pizza Pie:
An Introduction to Topological Combinatorics
Steve Simon, Mathematics Program
Thursday, March 30, 2017
4:45 pm
Hegeman 308Given any 3 shapes in R3 (e.g., a piece of ham, a hunk of cheese, and a slice of bread), does there exist a single plane that simultaneously cuts each shape into two pieces of equal volume? Can any shape in R2 be dissected into four pieces of equal area by some pair of perpendicular lines? By exploiting hidden geometric symmetries, we will show how equipartition problems such as these can be solved using powerful techniques from the seemingly unrelated eld known as algebraic topology. For instance, the positive answer to the rst problem above { the so-called Ham Sandwich" Theorem { ultimately reduces to a very deep result of Borsuk and Ulam: for any continuous map from a sphere to a plane, there must exist a pair of antipodal points on the sphere whose images coincide. While fairly advanced mathematics is not too far away, this talk requires only a familiarity with the intermediate value theorem to be understood. All are welcome to attend!Sponsored by: Mathematics Program.

In the Shadow of Stalin: Trump and Power
Jonathan Brent
Executive director, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research; Visiting Alger Hiss Professor of History and Literature, Bard College
Thursday, March 30, 2017
6 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 202All authoritarian political figures and governments share many characteristics: suppression of free speech; intense loyalty to dictator, party and ideology; the concentration of power in a single individual, etc. Even so, wittingly or unwittingly, Trump’s manipulation of the media, attack on the intelligence community, his undermining of bureaucracy and normal governance process bear striking and uncanny resemblance to the strategies employed by Josef Stalin in his seizure of supreme power in Soviet Russia. In this lecture, I will discuss the mechanisms by which Stalin destroyed Soviet society and created a model of the first totalitarian state as a framework for understanding the threat Trump and his advisors pose to the future of democracy and liberal society.

A Reading by John D'Agata
The controversial essayist presents a free public reading
Thursday, March 30, 2017
6 pm
Bard HallThursday, March 30, at 6:00 p.m. in Bard Hall, game-changing essayist and editor John D'Agata reads in the Written Arts Series.
Introduced by Mary Caponegro '78, Richard B. Fisher Family Professor in Literature and Writing, and followed by a Q&A, this event is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required.
D'Agata is the author of Halls of Fame, The Lifespan of a Fact, About a Mountain, and the three-volume New History of the Essay series.
“John D'Agata is one of the most significant U.S. writers to emerge in the past few years. His essays combine the innovation and candor of David Shields and William Vollmann with the perception and concinnity and sheer aesthetic weight of Annie Dillard and Lewis Hyde. In nothing else recent is the compresence of shit and light that is America so vividly felt and evoked.” ―David Foster Wallace
"The Lifespan of a Fact is a Talmudically arranged account of the conflict between Jim Fingal, zealous checker, and John D’Agata, nonfiction fabulist." … "It is less a book than a knock-down, drag-out fight between two tenacious combatants, over questions of truth, belief, history, myth, memory and forgetting." —New York Times Book Review and Magazine
"In About a Mountain's circuitous, stylish investigation, D'Agata uses the federal government's highly controversial proposal to entomb the U.S.'s nuclear waste located in Yucca Mountain, near Las Vegas, as his way into a spiraling and subtle examination of the modern city, suicide, linguistics, Edvard Munch's The Scream, ecological and psychic degradation, and the gulf between information and knowledge. It is testament to D'Agata's skillful organization and his use of a rapid sequences of montages that readers will be pleasurably (and perhaps necessarily) disoriented but never distracted from the themes knitting together the ostensibly unrelated voices of Native American activists, politicians, geologists, Levi's parents, D'Agata's own mother, and a host of zany Las Vegans." —Publishers WeeklySponsored by: Written Arts Program.

God Behind Bars: The Rise of Faith-Based Prison Ministries in an Age of Mass Incarceration

6 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaTanya Erzen
Associate Professor, University of Puget Sound
Director, Freedom Education Project Puget Sound
In prisons throughout the United States, punitive incarceration and religious revitalization are occurring simultaneously. Faith-based prison ministries operate under the logic that religious conversion and redemption will transform prisoners into new human beings. Why are Christian prison ministries on the rise amidst an increasingly punitive system of mass incarceration? How do people in prison practice religion in a space of coercion and discipline? What are theimplications of the state's promotion of Christianity over other religious traditions in some prisons? And, why have conservative Christians, particularly, embraced criminal justice reform?Sponsored by: American and Indigenous Studies Program; Anthropology Program; Bard Prison Initiative; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program.

Protein Folding: Seeing is Deceiving
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable,
must be the truth. -Sherlock Holmes
George Rose
Jenkins Dept. of Biophysics
Johns Hopkins University
Thursday, March 30, 2017
7 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumWe challenge the time-honored conviction that proteins realize their native folds via specific favorable interactions, proposing instead that an imprint of the fold is selected primarily by elimination of unfavorable interactions. Two types of energetically disfavored interactions are considered here: steric clashes and polar groups lacking hydrogen-bond partners. Both types are largely excluded from the thermodynamic population, winnowing that population progressively as the protein becomes compact. Compaction is accompanied by the entropically favored release of solvent shells around apolar groups. Remarkably, both solvent shell release and excluding interactions are somewhat non-specific, yet together they promote highly specific chain organization. For example, exhaustive conformational enumeration of a test hexapeptide reduces 1.5x1012 conceivable conformations to the experimentally-determined dominant population in aqueous solution – this despite deliberate neglect of attractive interactions.

12:30–1:30 pm
Chapel of the Holy InnocentsThis spring's series will consider the dynamics of political power that shaped Jesus' perspective and finally caused his death. The sons of Herod the Great, Antipas and Philip, were the principal rulers affecting Jesus in Galilee. His dificulty with their policies comes to expression in much of Jesus' teaching, and finally caused him to escape their influence and pursue his aim in Jerusalem. Even there, however, longstanding ties between the Herodians and the Rome regime represented by Pontius Pilate.

Book Release and Panel Discussion: Artifacts of Thinking: Reading Arendt's "Denktagebuch"
Hosted by: The Hannah Arendt Center
Friday, March 31, 2017
4:15 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 201Edited by Roger Berkowitz and Ian Storey, Artifacts of Thinking: Reading Arendt's "Denktagebuch" offers a path through Hannah Arendt's recently published Denktagebuch, or "Book of Thoughts." In this book a number of innovative Arendt scholars come together to ask how we should think about these remarkable writings in the context of Arendt's published writing and broader political thinking. Other contributors include: Jeffrey Champlin, Wout Cornelissen, Ursula Ludz, Anne O'Byrne, Tracy Strong, Tatjana Noemi Tömmel, and Thomas Wild. Unique in its form, the Denktagebuch offers brilliant insights into Arendt's practice of thinking and writing. Artifacts of Thinking provides an introduction to the Denktagebuch as well as a glimpse of these fascinating but untranslated fragments that reveal not only Arendt's understanding of "the life of the mind" but her true lived experience of it.
Panelist Include:
Roger Berkowitz has been teaching political theory, legal thought, and human rights at Bard College since 2005. He is the academic director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College. Professor Berkowitz is an interdisciplinary scholar, teacher, and writer. His interests stretch from Greek and German philosophy to legal history and from the history of science to images of justice in film and literature. He is the author of The Gift of Science: Leibniz and the Modern Legal Tradition; coeditor of Thinking in Dark Times: Hannah Arendt on Ethics and Politics; editor of Revenge and Justice, a special issue of Law, Culture, and the Humanities; and a contributing editor to Rechtsgeschichte. His essays have appeared in numerous academic journals. Roger Berkowitz received his B.A. from Amherst College; J.D. from Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley; and Ph.D. from UC Berkeley.Wout Cornelissen studied philosophy at Radboud University Nijmegen and received his doctorate in philosophy from Leiden University. He was a visiting scholar at the Committee on Social Thought of the University of Chicago. He taught political philosophy in Leiden and philosophy of law in Amsterdam. He was a Hannah Arendt Center Postdoctoral Fellow and a Visiting Assistant Professor of Humanities at Bard College, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at Utrecht University. His research interests lie at the intersection of philosophy, politics, and literature. His first book project focuses on the relation between thought and action in the writing of Karl Popper, Leo Strauss, and Hannah Arendt. At Vanderbilt University, he will work on a critical edition of Arendt’s The Life of the Mind, as part of a Kritische Gesamtausgabe.
Anne O'Byrne's field of research is 20th century and contemporary European philosophy. From her dissertation, "Who are we?": Plurality and the Questioning of Philosophy, to her present project of natality (the existential condition of having been born) and finitude, her work has been at the intersection of ontology and politics. In her articles she investigates the political and ontological questions that arise around embodiment ("The Politics of Intrusion" in The New Centennial Review), gender ("The Excess if Justice" in International Studies in Philosophy), labor ("Symbol, Exchange and Birth" in Philosophy and Social Criticism) and pedagogy ("Pedagogy without a Project" in Studies in Philosophy and Education) using the work of authors such as Heidegger, Arendt, Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jean Baudrillard and Julia Kristeva. O'Byrne also maintains an interest in Irish Studies and has written philosophical work concerning the functioning of sovereignty in Northern Ireland and the inheritance of the Irish language. At Stony Brook and while on faculty at Hofstra University (1999-2007) she has taught courses in feminist philosophy, social and political philosophy, philosophy of art, philosophy and the Holocaust, modernity and post-modernity, existentialism, phenomenology, and Nietzsche.
Ian Storey is co-editor with Roger Berkowitz of Archives of Thinking, and author of the forthcoming Hungers on Sugar Hill: Hannah Arendt, the New York Poets, and the Remaking of Metropolis, which examines postwar changes in the urban politics of race, class, and representation through the lens of Arendt’s first experiences of the United States. He also produces contemporary adaptations of German theater, including Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, Antigone des Sophokles, and St. Joan of the Stockyards. Having received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Chicago, Storey’s work centers on urban politics, the politics of aesthetics, and democratic theory.
Dr. Thomas Wild studied German literature and culture as well as political science in Berlin, and Munich, where he received his Ph.D. He has taught at institutions of higher learning in Germany, at Vanderbilt University, and at Oberlin College. Dr. Wild’s research and teaching focus on twentieth-century German literature and film, the political dimensions of culture, art and thought, as well as contemporary developments in German media and society after 1989. Among his many publications are a monograph on Hannah Arendt’s relationships with key postwar German writers such as Uwe Johnson, Ingeborg Bachmann, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Hilde Domin, and Rolf Hochhuth; an “intellectual biography” of Hannah Arendt; and an edition of Thomas Brasch’s poetry. Most recently, he co-edited Arendt’s conversations and correspondence with the eminent German historian and political essayist Joachim Fest. Additionally, he is a literary critic and cultural correspondent for the major German dailies Süddeutsche Zeitung and Der Tagesspiegel.

A Reading by Dawn Lundy Martin
The author of Life in a Box Is a Pretty Life reads from her poems
Friday, March 31, 2017
5 pm
Bard HallThe activist poet and editor, winner of the Cave Canem Prize and Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Poetry, and cofounder of the Center for African American Poetry and Poetics at the University of Pittsburgh is also the author of such books as A Gathering of Matter/A Matter of Gathering, Discipline, and the forthcoming Good Stock Strange Blood.
Introduced by Ann Lauterbach and followed by a conversation and Q&A, the reading is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required.
"Every time I read Good Stock Strange Blood, a new, deepened book awaits me. Which is to say, it’s got trap doors, trick sleeves; it takes swerves, detours, and dives. Dawn Lundy Martin’s poems read like a real-time excavation of what poetry can and can't do; how the past is never past; how to stand in the blur, the 'griefmouth' of personal and collective pain and somehow—against all odds—make thought, make fury, make song. We need this resilience, this bloody reckoning, this wit and nuance, now." —Maggie Nelson
"A relentless pressure placed on the body that is fetishized, shackled, split, strangled, beaten, hated, compressed, trashed, drowned, measured, mirrored, dragged, discarded, disappeared, opened, punctured, displayed, encased. The question of 'what allows the body to survive' is at the heart of Good Stock Strange Blood. If there's an answer in this book to that question, then perhaps it has to do with how we confront and give words and breath and sound and silence to a life of meticulously drawn images that are ghostly, brutal, and vivifying." —Daniel Borzutzky
