Indian Theater

Runs through Sunday, November 26, 2023

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art
The first major exhibition to center performance as an origin point for the development of contemporary art by Native American, First Nations, Inuit, and Alaska Native artists opens this June at the Center for Curatorial Studies’ (CCS Bard) Hessel Museum of Art. Curated by leading scholar and curator Candice Hopkins (Carcross/Tagish First Nation), Indian Theater traces the history of experimentation that emerged from the Institute of American Indian Arts’ Department for New Native Theater in the late 1960s and continues to inform the practice of Native artists today. The exhibition brings together over 100 works by over 40 artists and collectives, including some new commissions, and performances by Rebecca Belmore (Anishinaabe), Nicholas Galanin (Tlingit/Unangax̂), Jeffrey Gibson (The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians/Cherokee), Maria Hupfield (Anishnaabek, Wasauksing First Nation / Canada), Kite (Oglala Lakota), and Eric-Paul Riege (Diné). 

Open Wednesday – Monday, noon – 6:00 pm. Closed Tuesdays.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

To Be—Named Exhibition

Opening September 8 at Opalka Gallery, Albany, New York

Runs through Saturday, October 14, 2023

Opalka Gallery at Russell Sage College in Albany, New York
The Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network (EHCN) invites the public to its art exhibition To Be—Named, at Opalka Gallery at Russell Sage College in Albany, New York, with an opening reception on Friday, September 8.

To Be—Named is a partnership between the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network, the Recovering Voices program at the Smithsonian Institution, and the European Union-funded CoLing project.

The exhibition was created by EHCN in collaboration with Opalka Gallery in Albany, New York, and is dedicated to the topic of naming and the significance of names for the development or suppression of a person's identity. The exhibit in New York's Hudson Valley is the second station of an international project that includes exhibitions on the same theme in Germany, Greece, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Palestine, Republic of Sakha (online), and the US.

Names can make ancestry and knowledge of one's mother tongue visible. They are something very personal, but they can also be something very political, as the abuse of power can be exercised through naming.

The exhibition consists of six artistic conceptions from the US, which will be shown at all four locations and supplemented by local conceptions. With this approach of bringing together local and international artists, the show aims to promote a dialogue among the participating artists with different experiences and world views, as well as with the audience. In addition, specific discourses on the exhibition theme in the respective countries will also be addressed.  

The works of Jenny Irene Miller, Luz María Sánchez, Bently Spang,  Keith S. Wilson, Elizabeth Withstandley, Saya Woolfalk, and zhaoyuefan will be shown at all exhibition venues. They deal, among other things, with the loss of identity when names are translated into another cultural context and with the efforts of Indigenous cultures in North America to manifest their claim to cultural identity and attachment to territorial homelands through names and naming. 

Through paintings, installations, films and photographs, the artists featured in the Albany exhibit address the traces of colonial history and colonial injustice that have manifested themselves over decades through naming, image appropriation or one-sided forms of historiography. 

Featured artists:
Aarati Akkapeddi
Birding the Future (Krista Caballero and Frank Ekeberg)
Jeremy Dennis
Ellen Driscoll
Jenny Irene Miller
Native Land Digital
Luz María Sánchez
Jean-Marc Superville Sovak

James Joyce’s Ulysses has fascinated, perplexed, scandalized, and/or defeated readers for over a century. Building on a rich history of staging modernist works—Gatz, The Sound and the Fury, The Select (The Sun Also Rises)—Elevator Repair Service (ERS) takes on this Mount Everest of twentieth-century literature in their Fisher Center debut. Seven performers sit down for a sober reading but soon find themselves guzzling pints, getting in brawls, and committing debaucheries as they careen on a fast-forward tour through Joyce’s funhouse of styles. With madcap antics and a densely layered sound design, ERS presents an eclectic sampling from Joyce’s life-affirming masterpiece.

Ukrainian Table

Please join us weekly. Stay for as long as you like.

Monday, October 2, 2023
12–1 pm

Kline Commons
Language tables are held at Kline and entail about an hour of casual discussion during meal times, where students interested in a language get to know each other and practice colloquial conversations. They are held by the tutor of the language, and although sometimes professors join the table, it is a very low-stakes and fun setting to immerse yourself in a language, its culture, and the foreign language community at Bard.

Since Ukrainian language instruction is not currently available at Bard, we also welcome folks interested in learning some basic Ukrainian phrases to join us!Sponsored by: Division of Languages and Literature.

Last Tango in Ogygia: Human and Divine in Odyssey 5

Jenny Strauss Clay, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Classics Emerita at the University of Virginia

Tuesday, October 3, 2023
5–6:30 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 102
The fifth book of the Odyssey—the first to focus exclusively on the epic’s hero—may in some sense be considered the beginning of the epic proper. Its action constitutes a coherent arc that takes the hero from his captivity on Calypso’s island to the land of the Phaeacians, who will bring him back at last to Ithaca. But in addition to its narrative unity, Book 5 possesses a significant thematic unity, one centering on the issue of mortality and immortality. Although the stage is set by il gran rifituto—Odysseus’ refusal of Calypso’s offer of immortality and his choice to return to Ithaca—the tension between the divine and human in fact permeates the book in ways both obvious and subtle. Calypso’s love for the mortal Odysseus, Hermes’ distaste for his mission, Poseidon’s fury, and the aid of Leocothea, who once was mortal but is now immortal, all ring the changes on the possibilities for, and tensions inherent in, divine-human interactions. They also serve to position the Odyssey at a pivotal moment in the relations between gods and mortals: their previous intimacy is waning, and apotheosis belongs to a bygone era. This central theme not only dominates Book Five from beginning to end, but it offers a framework for the whole poem.Sponsored by: Classical Studies Program.

„that’s how the foreign / forms conversations”

Uljana Wolf, Distinguished German Poet and Essayist

Tuesday, October 3, 2023
6:30–8 pm

Hegeman 204A
What is a mother tongue, seen by day? Or at night, awake next to a crib? Or when someone changes diapers, performing tasks that interrupt the poem, or the I? Is this then a broken, stuttering language? A muttering tongue? A language never alone with itself, always with room for others?
Since her debut collection kochanie ich habe brot gekauft (2005), which was awarded the prestigious Peter Huchel-Preis, Uljana Wolf's poems and essays have been listening to the dissolution of language in the murmur or Mutter of a shimmering multiplicity. Now finally her debut kochanie, today i bought bread has been translated into English by Greg Nissan (World Poetry Books). Simultaneously, Uljana Wolf’s new poetry collection in German, muttertask (kookbooks, 2023) attempts to blend the translingual trajectories of her latest poems with the lyrical beginnings of kochanie.

Wolf will read from the new translation of kochanie ich habe brot gekauft alongside with German poems rom her new book, muttertask, as well as discuss her essays on translation and translingualism from Etymologischer Gossip.Sponsored by: Bard Translation and Translatability Initiative; German Studies Program.

It's a place that recognizes and affirms the lives of those whose lives are too often forgotten and erased.

A Nimble Arc: James Van Der Zee and Photography

Professor Emilie Boone, NYU

Thursday, October 5, 2023
6 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
In A Nimble Arc, art historian Emilie Boone shifts focus from photographer James Van Der Zee’s renowned Harlem Renaissance work to his role in documenting and advancing “quotidian” Black American life.
Van Der Zee was born in 1886. His self-taught skills were augmented by his early training as a department store photography assistant. He maintained a studio in Harlem for decades, and throughout his long life, he photographed a range of notable Black figures, including Countee Cullen and Jean-Michel Basquiat. But beyond Van Der Zee’s portraits of writers, entertainers, and artists were his photographs of other Harlem residents, like an elegant woman posing by a piano with a white cat and a statuesque preacher known as the “Barefoot Prophet.” 
This talk will examine James Van Der Zee’s legacy in the context of twentieth-century Harlem.

The goal of life drawing is to quickly capture a model’s pose, anatomy, and relationship to space. At the same time, it’s about experimenting with mediums and materials to best express the mood and feeling of what you’re seeing in front of you. Life drawing is a challenging but satisfying way to learn and improve your skills. It is also a varied practice, a session can start with one-minute poses and end with a 30-minute pose. This versatility helps develop different skill sets. Studio Arts majors and people with no previous experience are welcome!Sponsored by: Student Activities.

The Orchestra Now Celebrates the Music of Chen Yi and Zhou Long

CHINA NOW MUSIC FESTIVAL: The Bridge of Music

Friday, October 6, 2023
7–8 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater

Pre-concert talk with composers at 6 pm



The Orchestra Now

Jindong Cai conductor

The China Now Music Festival returns to the Sosnoff stage for its sixth season with a concert honoring two of the most influential composers from China working in the US today, Zhou Long and Chen Yi. Led by maestro Jindong Cai, The Orchestra Now (TŌN) will perform US premieres of major symphonic works by this legendary couple and their renowned teacher at Columbia University, Chou Wenchung. With the addition of two pieces by their young protégées Zhou Juan and Li Shaosheng, who now have major careers in China, the program links three generations of composers to highlight the generational bridge that Chen Yi and Zhou Long have built between the country of their birth and the one they now call home — a musical bridge between China and the US that is both strong and enduring.

This concert is presented by the US-China Music Institute of the Bard College Conservatory of Music, in collaboration with the Central Conservatory of Music, China, as part of the 6th annual China Now Music Festival: The Bridge of Music. More information about the program and this year’s festival at www.barduschinamusic.org/the-bridge-of-music.

Saturday, October 7, 2023
7–9 pm

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space
Violinist and violist Luosha Fang ’11 brings her adventurous spirit to music ranging from canonical repertoire to world premieres. She was a member of the Bard Conservatory's very first entering class in 2005, and after graduating in 2011 with a double degree in violin performance and Russian Studies, she went on to study violin and viola at the Curtis Institute and the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid. Luosha joined the Bard Conservatory violin/viola faculty in 2019.

As a violinist, she has performed as soloist with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Atlantic Symphony, the Louisville Orchestra, the West Virginia Symphony, the Bay-Atlantic Symphony, and the American Symphony Orchestra, with whom she gave the US premiere of the Grażyna Bacewicz Violin Concerto No. 5.

As violist she has performed as soloist with the New Japan Philharmonic, the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra, the TOHO-Gakuen Orchestra, the Hiroshima Symphony Orchestra, the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra.

Zhenni Li-Cohen’s riveting presence and passionate performances have brought audiences to their feet around the world. Hailed for her “torrents of voluptuous sound...Li impresses as an artist of tremendous conviction, who fascinates even as she provokes“ by Gramophone Magazine, “a thrillingly good pianist” by The New Yorker and for her "...big, gorgeous tone and a mesmerizing touch" by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Ms. Li-Cohen has performed in such notable venues as Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and WQXR’s Greene Space in New York, Philadelphia’s Kimmel Performing Arts Center, Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian Museum, San Jose’s California Theater, the Helsinki Music Center in Finland, the Grieghallen in Norway and the Berliner Philharmonie in Germany. After studies at Julliard, Yale University, and McGill University, she began concertizing in earnest, earning worldwide recognition as the winner of the 2017 New York Concert Artists Worldwide Debut Audition, Astral Artist’s 2016 National Auditions, the Grieg International Competition in Norway, and the unanimous 1st Prize at the Concours Musical de France.Sponsored by: Bard College Conservatory of Music.

The Art of Friendship: A Student Exhibition & Community Dinner Party

Wednesday, October 11, 2023

Campus Center
Art of Friendship Student Exhibition
Submission Deadline: October 1


Starting the night before our 2023 Annual Conference on Friendship & Politics, the Hannah Arendt Center invites you to explore a diverse collection of student artworks, all inspired by the spirit of friendship. These pieces offer a variety of perspectives, all through different mediums, on the nature of human connection. As you explore, take note that selected artworks are available for purchase, supporting our talented student artists. Submit your artwork here!

We especially encourage students who do not study art formally, and thus don't have as many opportunities to exhibit their work, to submit something.

Remittances, Immunization, and Gender: Polio and Girl Children in the Punjab

Levy Institute Research Program of Gender Equality and the Economy: A Speaker Series Featuring Aniruddha Mitra, Associate Professor of Economics, Bard College

Wednesday, October 11, 2023
5–6 pm

Blithewood

The 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 first session with Aniruddha Mitra, Associate Professor of Economics, Bard College, on Wednesday, October 11, from 5pm to 6pm in the Levy Conference Room, or on Zoom. Professor Mitra’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:
This study investigates if household access to migration and resultant remittance income in the Punjab province of Pakistan has helped to mitigate economic constraints that prevent children receiving necessary vaccination against Polio and Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR). Based on a Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey conducted in 2014, we find that access to remittance income, be it from within Pakistan or abroad, robustly increases the likelihood of children under five receiving the necessary vaccination. However, a more disaggregated analysis paints a far less optimistic picture: while remittances significantly improve the immunization likelihood of boys under five, they have virtually no impact on the corresponding likelihood for girl children. As such, access to remittances may not be sufficient to overcome the stark gender differentials in child immunization that have been documented across South Asia.


Aniruddha Mitra is an Associate Professor of Economics at Bard College, where he also directs the Global and International Studies program. He completed his dissertation at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and taught at Middlebury College prior to joining Bard in 2012. His research pursues three intersecting lines of inquiry, namely, the impact of transnational migration and associated transfers; the amelioration and consequences of gender inequality; and the incidence and impact of political violence.

Indigenous Research Methods & Practice: Refusal, Creation, and Intersectionality

Rethinking Place Conference 2023

Thursday, October 12, 2023 – Saturday, October 14, 2023

Bard College will host the second annual conference of Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck from October 12 through 14. The conference, “Indigenous Research Methods and Practice in the Liberal Arts: Refusal, Creation, and Intersectionality,” explores the topic of “research” within the humanities. Building on last year’s conference surrounding methods, viewpoints, and experiences of archives within Native American and Indigenous Studies and African-American Studies, this conference explores historically marginalized epistemologies of social sciences and arts research. This is the second of three annual conferences supported by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck, part of the Mellon Foundation’s Humanities for All Times initiative.

Follow That Baby!: Using Naturalistic Observation to Enrich Word Learning Research
 

Erica Hsiung Wojcik
Skidmore College
 

Thursday, October 12, 2023
4–5:30 pm

Preston Theater
How children learn to link (or “map”) a label to its meaning has been a primary focus of word learning research. Most—if not all—researchers agree that there is more to word learning than mapping. Children must learn the contexts in which words are used, the relationships between words, and more. And yet, our research programs and methods are still dominated by the mapping problem. One way move forward from this mapping focus is to think from a baby’s perspective.  Recent technological advances have made it possible to collect, store, and share unprecedented naturalistic audio/video corpora that document the first years of a baby’s life. These new datasets have led to an explosion in exploratory, descriptive, naturalistic studies that aim to unpack how infants learn language out in the real world. In this talk, I present data from two descriptive case studies that use the unique SAYcam database, which comprises headcam footage from three babies, sampled two hours per week across the first two years of life. Both studies unveil new characteristics of early lexical input, demonstrating how descriptive, naturalistic work can enrich word learning research.

Life Drawing at Bard

Friday, October 13, 2023
5–6 pm

Fisher Studio Arts Building
The goal of life drawing is to quickly capture a model’s pose, anatomy, and relationship to space. At the same time, it’s about experimenting with mediums and materials to best express the mood and feeling of what you’re seeing in front of you. Life drawing is a challenging but satisfying way to learn and improve your skills. It is also a varied practice, a session can start with one-minute poses and end with a 30-minute pose. This versatility helps develop different skill sets. Studio Arts majors and people with no previous experience are welcome!Sponsored by: Student Activities.

Indigenous Research Methods & Practice: Refusal, Creation, and Intersectionality

Rethinking Place Conference 2023

Thursday, October 12, 2023 – Saturday, October 14, 2023

Bard College will host the second annual conference of Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck from October 12 through 14. The conference, “Indigenous Research Methods and Practice in the Liberal Arts: Refusal, Creation, and Intersectionality,” explores the topic of “research” within the humanities. Building on last year’s conference surrounding methods, viewpoints, and experiences of archives within Native American and Indigenous Studies and African-American Studies, this conference explores historically marginalized epistemologies of social sciences and arts research. This is the second of three annual conferences supported by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck, part of the Mellon Foundation’s Humanities for All Times initiative.

Savage States: Settler Governance in an Age of Sorrow

The Inaugural Electa Quinney Lecture of Rethinking Place, Presented by Audra Simpson

Saturday, October 14, 2023
5 pm

Olin Auditorium
How is the past imagined to be settled? What are the conditions that make for this imagining, this fantasy or, rather, demand of a new start point? In this piece I consider the slice of this new-ness in recent history—1990 to the near present in Canada. This is a time of apology, and a time in which Native people and their claims to territory are whittled to the status of claimant or subject in time with the fantasy of their disappearance from a modern and critical present. In this piece I examine how the Canadian practice of settler governance has adjusted itself in line with global trends and rights paradigms away from overt violence to what are seen as softer and kinder, caring modes of governing but governing, violently still and yet, with a language of care, upon on still stolen land. This piece asks not only in what world we imagine time to stop, but takes up the ways in which those that survived the time stoppage stand in critical relationship to dispossession and settler governance apprehend, analyze and act upon this project of affective governance. Here an oral and textual history of the notion of “reconciliation” is constructed and analyzed with recourse to Indigenous criticism of this affective and political project of repair.

This event is the inaugural lecture of the Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck Electa Quinney Lecture Series.Sponsored by: American and Indigenous Studies Program.

How to Commit Crimes Against Reality

Talk by New Red Order

Tuesday, October 17, 2023
6–8 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
“Do you want to realize your fullest potential? Be your truest self? Act with confidence? Attract abundance? Alleviate anxiety? Experience clarity? Know your purpose? Be the change you want to see? Be truly present? Experience real freedom? Change the world? Be a part of the solution?
On some level, we all want to feel this way, but sometimes in our globalized, capitalist, settler-colonial society it feels impossible. Which is why the New Red Order is developing a dynamic system to help our accomplices achieve all of this and more. This sneak peek of our free introductory video, Never Settle, will tell you what you need to know to take control of your life today!”Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies; Center for Human Rights and the Arts; OSUN; OSUN Center for Human Rights and the Arts; Studio Arts Program.

Writing as Sowing, Reading as Eating

Installation & Food Gathering by Juliana Steiner

Tuesday, October 17, 2023
6–8 pm

Manor
CHRA Resident Fellow Juliana Steiner presents an immersive sound installation at the Bard Farm, followed by a talk and food gathering at Manor House. The installation Entre la danza y el Mambeo (In between Dance and Mambeo) is composed of sound recordings made in collaboration with a group of traditional leaders from indigenous communities from the north-east Amazon of Colombia. The recordings were made by the collective Ruak+ Jafaik+ (Spirit of the Song)  and informed by conversations with members from the Kanasto de Abundancia (Basket of Abundance) collective. These recordings were made in the ceremonial house of the Tomsatyba Reserve in Sesquilé. These sounds are offerings to the land that function as natural fertilizers for different crops grown in farms and orchards. 

This event shares the encounters and findings of a forthcoming book which is part of Ecotone, the curatorial project organized by Juliana in Colombia as part of Common Ground, an international festival on the politics of land and food, initiated by Fisher Center at Bard, and supported by CHRA. The communal food gathering shared with the audience, Envolviendo la Memoria (Wrapping Memory), is based on a recipe featured in the book.Sponsored by: Bard Farm; Center for Human Rights and the Arts; OSUN; OSUN Center for Human Rights and the Arts.

Queer People of Color - QPOC Weekly Meeting

5:30–6:30 pm

Campus Center, Yellow Room 214
This club is a space created to center the lives and experiences of the queer and gender-nonconforming people of color both on Bard's campus and beyond. It's a place for conversation and action. It's a place that recognizes and affirms the lives of those whose lives are too often forgotten and erased. Though it was made intentionally to elevate the voices of QTPOC, allies and accomplices are welcome, but only with the understanding that your voices will not be centered and that you are there to learn and support.Sponsored by: Student Activities.

Life Drawing at Bard

Friday, October 20, 2023

Fisher Studio Arts Building
The goal of life drawing is to quickly capture a model’s pose, anatomy, and relationship to space. At the same time, it’s about experimenting with mediums and materials to best express the mood and feeling of what you’re seeing in front of you. Life drawing is a challenging but satisfying way to learn and improve your skills. It is also a varied practice, a session can start with one-minute poses and end with a 30-minute pose. This versatility helps develop different skill sets. Studio Arts majors and people with no previous experience are welcome!Sponsored by: Student Activities.

The Synthesis of Heavy Elements in Stellar Explosions
 

Artemis Spyrou, Michigan State University

Friday, October 20, 2023
12–1 pm

Hegeman 107
Since its birth roughly 60 years ago, the field of Nuclear Astrophysics strives to provide a comprehensive description of element synthesis in the Universe. While parts of stellar nucleosynthesis are well understood, others remain elusive to this day. Especially, the production of elements heavier than iron has been one of the major open questions in the field. Multiple processes and stellar sites contribute to the complex puzzle of heavy element production. Interpreting the astronomical observations requires the understanding of the nuclear processes that drive stellar explosions. This colloquium will focus on the critical nuclear properties needed to explain heavy element nucleosynthesis. I will discuss recent experimental results, as well as new initiatives and future plans at the next generation rare isotope facility, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Reflections from the Outstanding Jewish Pariah: Hannah Arendt on What Went Wrong with the Zionist Project

Monday, October 23, 2023
12–1:30 pm

Arendt Center
Arendt’s extraordinary insights on nationalism, federalism, political rebirth, imperialism, and racism originated in her writings on the modern Jewish experience in Europe and on the Zionist project. This talk reviews Arendt’s highly personal and intellectually rich reflections on the promises and perils of Zionism. She took pride in Palestine’s pre-state Yishuv for developing a new Jewish cultural center and socially just institutions, like the kibbutzim. Arendt saw the potential of Zionism to advance Jewish emancipation and contribute to global struggles for a more egalitarian, democratic and peaceful world. Ultimately, however, Arendt lamented the Zionist movement’s embrace of the two dynamics that had proved so deadly to Jews and to the world at large: the nation-state system and imperialism. To realize the promise of Zionism, argued Arendt, the movement would need to overcome two crippling pathologies: a belief in an eternal antisemitism and an attraction to a “tribal” nationalism. Her Zionist writings remain essential for both reflecting upon the grave contemporary crisis of Zionism and inspiring contemporary Jewish pariahs.


Biography of Jonathan Graubart:

Jonathan Graubart is a professor of political science at San Diego State University who specializes in the areas of international relations, international law, Zionism and Jewish dissent, Israel-Palestine, the UN, normative theory, and resistance politics. He received his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002 and his JD from UC Berkeley Law School in 1989. 
Graubart’s recent book is Jewish Self-Determination beyond Zionism: Lessons from Hannah Arendt and other Pariahs (Temple University Press 2023). Richard Falk describes it as “An exciting, profound, and humane critical rethinking of Zionism as the ideological foundation of the Israeli state, Graubart’s alternative vision reinforces what Zionism might have become if its leaders had not opted for an exclusivist Jewish state necessitating the continuous repression, exploitation, and discrimination of the Palestinian people in their own homeland. The recent surge to the Israeli far right gives this fine book a timely urgency, especially for liberal Jews, who should be deeply disturbed by what has happened in Israel beneath the banner of Zionism.”

His other publications include “Reimagining Zionism and Coexistence after Oslo’s Death: Lessons from Hannah Arendt” (Arendt Studies Quarterly, 2019), “David in Goliath’s Citadel: Mobilizing the Security Council’s Normative Power for Palestine” (European Journal of International Relations 2016, co-authored with Arturo Jimenez-Bacardi), and “War is Not the Answer: R2P and Military Intervention,” (part of an edited volume by Cambridge University Press on Responsibility to Protect, 2015). In 2008, Graubart published Legalizing Transnational Activism: The Struggle to Gain Social Change from NAFTA’s Citizen Petitions with Penn State University Press.

Translation Made Me: What I Learned from Translating Maturana, Varela, Anzaldúa, Glissant, and Many Others

Keijiro Suga, University of Minnesota/Meiji University

Monday, October 23, 2023
5–6:30 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 102
I am a poet, but before being a poet, I was a translator, and I still am. Having published translations in the humanities and literature from English, French, and Spanish to Japanese, my verbal matrix of creation has been shaped by translation, through translation. This talk will reveal some of my secrets and ultimately the meaning of Japan's modernity for its language.

Keijiro Suga is currently the visiting chair of Asian Studies at the University of Minnesota. He is professor of critical theory at Meiji University in Tokyo, where his research focuses on the analysis of cultural production in contemporary global society. The author of ten books of essays and a prolific translator from English, Spanish, and French, he was awarded the prestigious Yomiuri Prize for Literature in 2009 for his travelogue Transversal Journeys.Sponsored by: Asian Studies Program; Bard Translation and Translatability Initiative; LAIS Program; Spanish Studies; Written Arts Program.

Szemerédi–Trotter Theorem: How to Use Points and Lines Everywhere

Adam Sheffer, CUNY

Wednesday, October 25, 2023
12–1 pm

RKC 111
The Szemerédi–Trotter theorem is a simple statement about points on lines in the plane. Surprisingly, this result turned out to be surprisingly useful. Over the past 20 years, it has been used to prove impressive results in combinatorics, number theory, harmonic analysis, model theory, theoretical computer science, and more.

In this talk, we will introduce the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem and see how it can be used in unexpected places. We will also chat about the current research front—how mathematicians are currently trying to extend this theorem.

Ad-Hoc Governance and Education: the Case of Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh

Thursday, October 26, 2023
3–4 pm

3 PM New York l 7 PM Vienna

The OSUN Working Group on Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Host Community Education presents a panel discussion series on "Geographies and Temporalities of Higher Education for Displaced Students."

The next event in the series is a panel discussion on "Ad-Hoc Governance and Education: the Case of Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh."

September 2023 marked the sixth year of the Rohingya refugee crisis, and throughout the preceding years, a steady and calculated securitization of the response has threatened and shrunk the space for refugee civic engagement and advocacy. Against the backdrop of informal structures and ad-hoc governance mechanisms, the future prospects for Rohingya refugees confined within the fenced camps in Cox’s Bazar remain uncertain--their access to education hanging in the shrewd balance of tactical bureaucracy and deliberate repression. 

The education sector has invariably faced the scourge of makeshift policy-making, ranging from the indisputable ban on using the Bangladeshi native language, Bangla, in the learning centres to the complete shutdown of Rohingya-led education initiatives within the camps. To the community, a proper education is highly revered, making the educated the most celebrated among them--a glimpse into why despite such pushback, the Rohingya community remains firm on their demand for better education for their young and future generations. Further, refugees have expressed their discontent with learning opportunities provided by humanitarians, adamant that education spaces should not only be safe, but also engaging, fruitful and cognizant of community morals and identities. 

This panel explains the regulatory context of advancing education in the refugee camps from the past to present, aiming to shed light on the reactionary strategies adopted by stakeholders. Focusing on the understanding that education can be a pathway to a meaningful life, the panel explores the impact of restrictive policies on refugee aspirations, their coping mechanisms and shifting relationship with humanitarians and extended trust networks. Insights are gathered from a desk review of existing literature, key informant interviews and focus group discussions with humanitarians, journalists, researchers and refugees themselves, conducted to prepare a forthcoming report on ad-hoc governance by CPJ and the Asia Foundation.

Teaching Academic Literacy: Approaches and Reflections

Monday, October 30, 2023
9–10:30 am

Online Event
9 AM New York l 3 PM Vienna

The Liberal Arts and Sciences Collaborative (LASC) invites the OSUN community to a public gathering with Sue Robbins on the topic of teaching academic literacy. In recognizing critical reading and articulate communication as foundational skills of the liberal arts education experience, we encourage university faculty, administrators, and academic support staff to join us and learn how Robbins teaches discursive writing and argumentation to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Sussex. This stands to be very practical in nature, with deeper exploration of how to approach important aspects of academic literacy.

During our 90-minute event, Robbins will lead discussions on topics such as embedding academic literacies, academic socialization, a process approach to teaching writing, and some implications of generative AI on academic literacies. This session will situate the teaching of academic literacy within the broader LAS system and consequently touch upon opportunities for mainstreaming academic literacy as well as structural challenges educators may face. This event promises to be highly interactive and informative, with opportunities for participants to learn not only from Robbins but also from each other.

Sue Robbins is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Language Studies and Director of Continuing Professional Development in the School of Media, Arts & Humanities at the University of Sussex, UK. She has also co-authored the open-access Academic Writing Guide, which is used in the University of Sussex's Foundation Year program.

Indian Theater

Runs through Sunday, November 26, 2023
12–6 pm

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art
The first major exhibition to center performance as an origin point for the development of contemporary art by Native American, First Nations, Inuit, and Alaska Native artists opens this June at the Center for Curatorial Studies’ (CCS Bard) Hessel Museum of Art. Curated by leading scholar and curator Candice Hopkins (Carcross/Tagish First Nation), Indian Theater traces the history of experimentation that emerged from the Institute of American Indian Arts’ Department for New Native Theater in the late 1960s and continues to inform the practice of Native artists today. The exhibition brings together over 100 works by over 40 artists and collectives, including some new commissions, and performances by Rebecca Belmore (Anishinaabe), Nicholas Galanin (Tlingit/Unangax̂), Jeffrey Gibson (The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians/Cherokee), Maria Hupfield (Anishnaabek, Wasauksing First Nation / Canada), Kite (Oglala Lakota), and Eric-Paul Riege (Diné). 

Open Wednesday – Monday, noon – 6:00 pm. Closed Tuesdays.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

To Be—Named Exhibition

Opening September 8 at Opalka Gallery, Albany, New York

Runs through Saturday, October 14, 2023

Opalka Gallery at Russell Sage College in Albany, New York
The Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network (EHCN) invites the public to its art exhibition To Be—Named, at Opalka Gallery at Russell Sage College in Albany, New York, with an opening reception on Friday, September 8.

To Be—Named is a partnership between the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network, the Recovering Voices program at the Smithsonian Institution, and the European Union-funded CoLing project.

The exhibition was created by EHCN in collaboration with Opalka Gallery in Albany, New York, and is dedicated to the topic of naming and the significance of names for the development or suppression of a person's identity. The exhibit in New York's Hudson Valley is the second station of an international project that includes exhibitions on the same theme in Germany, Greece, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Palestine, Republic of Sakha (online), and the US.

Names can make ancestry and knowledge of one's mother tongue visible. They are something very personal, but they can also be something very political, as the abuse of power can be exercised through naming.

The exhibition consists of six artistic conceptions from the US, which will be shown at all four locations and supplemented by local conceptions. With this approach of bringing together local and international artists, the show aims to promote a dialogue among the participating artists with different experiences and world views, as well as with the audience. In addition, specific discourses on the exhibition theme in the respective countries will also be addressed.  

The works of Jenny Irene Miller, Luz María Sánchez, Bently Spang,  Keith S. Wilson, Elizabeth Withstandley, Saya Woolfalk, and zhaoyuefan will be shown at all exhibition venues. They deal, among other things, with the loss of identity when names are translated into another cultural context and with the efforts of Indigenous cultures in North America to manifest their claim to cultural identity and attachment to territorial homelands through names and naming. 

Through paintings, installations, films and photographs, the artists featured in the Albany exhibit address the traces of colonial history and colonial injustice that have manifested themselves over decades through naming, image appropriation or one-sided forms of historiography. 

Featured artists:
Aarati Akkapeddi
Birding the Future (Krista Caballero and Frank Ekeberg)
