Amor Mundi is the weekly publication of the Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College. Subscribe now to receive the Amor Mundi email in your inbox up to two times a week. You'll get the first look at original articles, essays, and journal features from Roger Berkowitz and other Arendtian thinkers.

A Poem a Day: Celebrating National Poetry Month
Wednesday, April 1, 2020 – Thursday, April 30, 2020 | Online Events
April is National Poetry Month and we want to celebrate it with you! In this time of uncertainty and concern, we can look to and rely on poems to offer wisdom, uplifting ideas, reflection, and, most of all, connections that can help us to center mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. 

Each day for the month of April, we will share a new prompt with you provided by one of Bard’s own Area Coordinators, Derick Ebert. These prompts can be found every day on the Bard Student Facebook Group as well as the Student Activities Instagram @bard_OSA. 

Finally, on April 30, we’ll host a Thursday Night Live poetry night where you all will be able to share one (or some) of your favorite pieces that were inspired by the prompts.

Research and Public Health Careers: A Changing Landscape
Hear from a senior bioinformatics scientist about the public health landscape from a research perspective.

Watch via Google Hangout: tinyurl.com/bardcdo

Population geneticist, bioinformatician, STEAM activist, educator, motivational speaker, and podcaster, Dr. Janina M. Jeff is the first African American to graduate with a PhD in human genetics from Vanderbilt University. She is currently a senior bioinformatics scientist at Illumina, where she develops pipelines for content annotation, selection, and design of population specific genome-wide content for a genotyping array portfolio that enables healthy population screening. In 2018, Dr. Jeff was selected as one of three winners (from a pool of 18,000) from Spotify’s Sound-Up Bootcamp for her podcast In Those Genes, in which she uses genetics to decode the lost histories and futures of African-descended Americans through the lens of Black culture. In the past year Dr. Jeff was named a Spelman College Top 40 Under 40 Alumna and received a 40 Under 40 Leader in Health Award from the National Quality Minority Forum. She also recently gave her first TEDx talk at the inaugural TEDxFlatbush, “Afrofuturism Through the Power of the Genome,” and was featured by the Root Word Project during Black History Month, on genetic testing.

Virtual Workshop: Cheap and Healthy Kitchen Protocols for Uncertain Times
Thursday, April 9, 2020 | 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Speaker: Chrisso Babcock | Coyote Kitchen Workshops, CoyoteKitchenWorkshops.com

This is the first of a three-part webinar series about food and gardens presented in partnership by Backyard to Table and BardEats at Bard College.

REGISTER NOW  $5 - $25 sliding scale

Recent events have made it clear that the need for building skills and sharing knowledge about efficient food preparation, food storage, and food preservation is more pressing than ever. The internet is overflowing with tips, tricks, and hacks – but how useful is this information without a system, or framework, in which to place it? The way we manage our Kitchen is at the very core of our continued health and well being, and we are doing ourselves a great disservice if we do not consider it carefully and create well reasoned systems and protocols. 

In this 60-minute online presentation, participants will use whole systems thinking to look carefully at the roles that our pantries, fridges and kitchens are playing, with an eye for increasing efficiency and reducing waste. Participants will leave with the mindset and tools to create a kitchen protocol, customized to their needs and space, that can function as a 'stepped up' or 'backup' system for uncertain times. You may even like the results so much (in nutrition, taste, and savings) that it becomes your primary kitchen protocol.

Lifetime Learning Institute presents

LLI Faculty Reading Series: Dinaw Mengestu, All Our Names
Friday, April 10, 2020 | 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 | Online
From acclaimed author Dinaw Mengestu, a recipient of the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 award, The New Yorker’s 20 Under 40 award, and a 2012 MacArthur Foundation genius grant, comes an unforgettable love story about a searing affair between an American woman and an African man in 1970s America and an unflinching novel about the fragmentation of lives that straddle countries and histories. 

All Our Names is the story of two young men who come of age during an African revolution, drawn from the safe confines of the university campus into the intensifying clamor of the streets outside. But as the line between idealism and violence becomes increasingly blurred, the friends are driven apart—one into the deepest peril, as the movement gathers inexorable force, and the other into the safety of exile in the American Midwest. There, pretending to be an exchange student, he falls in love with a social worker and settles into small-town life. Yet this idyll is inescapably darkened by the secrets of his past: the acts he committed and the work he left unfinished. Most of all, he is haunted by the beloved friend he left behind, the charismatic leader who first guided him to revolution and then sacrificed everything to ensure his freedom.

A Play from Romania 
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by Ashley Tata
7 pm EST Live Webcast
Preshow begins at 6:30 pm EST

Youtube Livestream: bit.ly/MadForestYT
Facebook Live: bit.ly/MadForestFB

Romania. December 25th, 1989. 

A dictator is executed. A totalitarian regime topples. What happens next?

Caryl Churchill’s 1990 play, Mad Forest, created with the help of drama students interviewing citizens in Bucharest in the months after the overthrow of Nicolae Ceaușescu, depicts life in a repressive dictatorship, during a bloody uprising, and in days and weeks after freedom is declared, through snap-shot exposures of moments, descriptions and silences. Less a documentary-play and more a sly, funny, brutal, and surrealist landscape, this 30-year old work approached from a 2020 point of view powerfully resonates with our global state of innumerable protests and the potential descent into totalitarianism. It’s like a study-guide (or warning) for Revolution, with an archangel, a dog and a vampire.

Hannah Arendt Center presents

ONLINE EVENT: Democratic Revival and Using Lottery in Citizen Juries presented by Dr. Roger Berkowitz, Hannah Arendt Center, Bard College
Saturday, April 18, 2020 | 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 | Online
*See below for instructions on how to join via Zoom.

We require intensive efforts to rebuild faith in democracy. An increasingly talked about idea is citizen assemblies or Citizen Juries that bring together everyday people chosen by lottery to discuss, learn about, and make recommendations upon political questions.
These Citizen Assemblies are based on the old Athenian idea of choosing representatives in a democracy by lottery  rather than by election. Around the world, such Citizen juries are being used to foster greater involvement of citizens in policy making which complement representative and direct democracy. These deliberative institutions are not mere focus groups. By bringing non-expert citizens into political institutions, Citizen Juries both breathe energy into representative democracy and nurture virtue amongst citizens. It is one way to address the deficit of democratic participation that plagues modern democracy. Dr Berkowitz will lead a discussion about Citizen Juries and how they can reinvigorate democracy
