Our peer writing consultants look forward to meeting with you and talking about course readings, using informal writing as a tool for discovery, thinking through ideas for essay topics, generating research questions, developing written arguments with you, and generally helping you take your written drafts, inquiries, and research to the next level.

Students may make a writing appointment or subject-area tutoring appointment for any day of the week by dropping by and signing up.We may be reached at x7812 or blc@bard.edu. Also, visit our webpage at bard.edu/learningcommons. We are happy to bring back “Shut Up and Write!” and “Shut Up and SProj“ study room sessions too, so please feel free to ask about these.

See you in the BLC!

Screening in Honor of the 30th Annual Day With(out) Art: Still Beginning

Sunday, December 1, 2019
2–4 pm

CCS Bard, Classroom 102

From Visual AIDS:
“The seven short videos range in subject from anti-stigma work in New Orleans to public sex culture in Chicago, highlighting pioneering AIDS activism and staging intergenerational conversations. Recalling Gregg Bordowitz’s reminder that “THE AIDS CRISIS IS STILL BEGINNING,”* the video program resists narratives of resolution or conclusion, considering the continued urgency of HIV/AIDS in the contemporary moment while revisiting resonant cultural histories from the past three decades. 
 
Visual AIDS is a New York–based nonprofit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. In 1989, Visual AIDS organized the first Day Without Art, a call to the art world for mourning and action in response to the AIDS crisis. For Day With(out) Art’s 30th year, over 100 institutions worldwide will screen STILL BEGINNING, recognizing the important and necessary work of artists, activists, and cultural workers who have responded to AIDS while emphasizing the persistent presence of the epidemic.

This year’s program will be screened at CCS Bard on December 1 at 2:00pm, and December 4 at 12:00pm, both in Classroom 102. Free admission. Seating is first-come, first-served.

*Gregg Bordowitz, The AIDS Crisis Is Still Beginning (2019) was recently on view at the Art Institute of Chicago. Hear Bordowitz discuss the work here.

Acupuncture at Bard

with Phillip Brown

Monday, September 2, 2019 – Thursday, December 19, 2019
8 am – 1 pm

Center for Spiritual Life ; Resnick Commons
Philip is at Bard:
Wednesdays 8-1
Thursdays 8-5
Call 845 943 7644 for an appointment.

Acupuncture is a system of healing that is 3-5,000 years old and is part of a larger system simply known as Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

Acupuncture is what  Phillip Brown calls "inside" medicine to be distinguished from Western Medicine which he calls "outside" medicine. Acupuncture stimulates your innate healing capacity. Your body is already trying to heal whatever you need help with.

Classical acupuncture is a healing art based on the laws of nature. It takes into account all of the marvelous complexity of each person in body, mind, and spirit-that is-the total person. It works preventatively as well as curatively doing whatever nature will allow within us. Thus, the amount of treatment and the response to treatment vary according to the individual.

Falsetto

Wednesday, December 4, 2019
7:30–9:30 pm

EMPAC/RPI CURTIS R. PRIEM EXPERIMENTAL MEDIA AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER at Rensselaer
Bard College Electronic Music faculty Sarah Hennies performs an evening of her work for solo percussion and electronics featuring her works Falsetto and Fleas. Through slowly evolving textures, Hennies’s music opens up a space where small changes become events. Her music often explores the act of performance, whether through showing the amount of energy it takes to maintain a constant appearance in front of others, the exhaustion of maintaining a sound once it has been established, or the vulnerability of having one’s every small move amplified through observation.

Working with both traditional orchestral percussion instruments and found objects, Hennies challenges rigid definitions by relating the structure of her work to themes of queer and trans identity, love and intimacy. Hennies has mentioned in interviews that percussionists are unique in that they don’t have a specific instrument. Their identity and role changes constantly with the context of different pieces and even within a single piece. The standard definition of a musician identified by their instrument does not hold.

In Hennies’s performance, listeners and performers are encouraged to enter a shared space that reflects everyday life. Her music begins to expose the exhaustion and virtuosity of maintaining even simple actions. A gentle sound, such as the ringing of a small bell, is sustained beyond virtuosity to expose the exhaustion of maintaining even simple actions that are thought of as societal norms. As these sounds are challenged by the addition of other actions, Hennies’s performance becomes more and more mesmerizing: an act of determination.

CCS Bard Galleries
From the Collection: First Year Practicum 2019 is comprised of four exhibitions each drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Curated in groups by the fourteen M.A. candidates in the Class of 2021, the exhibitions examine the museum’s collection through themes of migration, race, transformation, and pain.
 
Extending from the Audrey and Sydney Irmas Reception Atrium to the entry gallery in the CCS Bard Galleries, But the skin of the earth is seamless proposes an approach to global migration that focuses on its generative and creative potential,. In the following gallery, White people are ____asks viewers to consider how whiteness has operated in the respective artist’s practices, and how their identity has been implicated, or not, in discussions of their work. Persons in the Presence of a Metamorphosis includes a diverse range of artistic approaches that grapple with various forms of transformation, emphasizing the importance of remaining receptive to change, difference, and possibility. In the final gallery, the works in throbbing_quivering_pulsing_beating give language to the sensorial dimensions and rhythmic patterns of pain and pleasure in the body.

Alternate pathways for using undergraduate psychology education and experience exist in multiple professional realms. One such pathway is in using a graduate degree in social work or psychology to transform, teach, and practice in the field of academic family medicine. Family doctors are at the forefront of research and practice in the evidence base that informs integrative healthcare, providing services ranging from care coordination to mental health—all predicated on the development of trauma-informed, culturally conscious, therapeutic relationships with their patients. This talk will provide insight into a social justice pathway and mission that hopes to help transform the future of health and mental health care.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

The Inevitable Weaponization of Space

Thursday, December 5, 2019
6–7:30 pm

Bard Globalization & International Affairs Program 108 West 39th Street, Suite 1000-A, NY, NY
Space is both big business and a potential battleground. This year, as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos made new strides with their space companies Space X and Blue Origin, India became the latest country to test an anti-satellite weapon. How should we think about space in terms of international relations and security? Can diplomacy constrain the weaponization of space, and what we will lose if it fails?

Dr. Joan Johnson-Freese, professor of National Security Affairs at the US Naval War College, will be in conversation with Dr. Giles Alston, to discuss the parallel trends of the privatization of space exploration and the overt weaponization of space.

Dr. Johnson-Freese previously served as Chair of the National Security Affairs Department from 2002-2010 and was on the faculty of the Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies, the Air War College, and the University of Central Florida. Dr. Alston is a Senior Analyst at Oxford Analytica and faculty member at BGIA.

This event is free and open to the public by RSVP.Sponsored by: Bard Globalization & International Affairs Program.

Medicine from Without and Within: A Talk by Ashley Oliver, MD

Friday, December 6, 2019
3–5 pm

Olin, Room 102
Dr. Ashley Oliver, a medical resident and social justice advocate, will give a talk entitled “Medicine from Without and Within: A Series of Arguments about the Role of the Liberal Arts Education in Diversifying Modes of Analysis and Knowledge and in Advancing Social Justice.”

Abstract
What is a “healing imperative”?  Dr. Oliver will use her autobiography to trace an arc of striving for social justice in medicine. She will begin by describing the ways that medicine has been studied from without, as part of liberal arts curricula, and argue that institutions like Bard are well equipped to help students and their faculty open new frontiers to our understanding of what medicine is, as  practiced, and to imagine what it could be. She will then consider a particularly alarming challenge to the health-care landscape coming from within: the rapidly growing integration of bioinformation collected from private companies into the traditional methods by which medicine predicts and even molds future behavior. Because of the drive to improve diagnosis and efficacy of treatment, including the prerogatives of “precision medicine,” we risk reinforcing or possibly even worsening inequities of power and health care domestically and internationally. Dr. Oliver will close with a plea for us to continue to nurture minds both within and without medicine in order to better analyze the complex landscape of the healing imperative.

The festival Adi Atti Varadar Utsava is celebrated only once in 40 years.

I will talk about the different myths connected to this second statue of Viṣṇu and trace the historical roots of this event, which in summer 2019 attracted more than one million visitors from all over India.

"Through Our Eyes" Photo Exhibit Opening Reception, 12/11

Wednesday, December 11, 2019 – Friday, December 20, 2019
6–7 pm

Campus Center, Lobby
Through Our Eyes, the photography project realized by young asylum seekers in the hotspot of Samos, Greece, will be exhibited at Bard College. Opening night will be on December 11, 6-7 PM.

---

The photography project “Through Our Eyes” shows the daily lives of asylum seekers living in the ‘hotspot’ camp on Samos Island, Greece, through their own eyes. Behind the camera, instead of reporters or journalists, we find teenage boys and girls who have been living in this camp for months.
Samos is one of the five ‘hotspots’ in Greece, receiving hundreds of new arrivals a month. The Island’s refugee camp, originally built to accommodate 500 people currently hosts more than 5,000. With the increasing influx of people and lack of support from Greek and International powers, people are left to survive in conditions that do not meet basic human needs. It is estimated that over 25% of people living in the camp are children, 200 of which are unaccompanied minors. The circumstances of the island severely restricts the educational, recreational, and social development of these children, leaving them with little option to continue their studies.
The Mazi Youth Center is the only educational option for these children on the island, run by the NGO Still I Rise. Founded in June 2018, Mazi provides informal education and psychosocial support for children aged 12 to 17 living in the Camp. Through the support of Mazi and Still I Rise, this exhibition is possible.
Please join us in viewing the realities of life on Samos through their eyes.

The Antidote to Climate Depression: How to Solve Climate by 2030

Thursday, December 12, 2019
6:30–8:30 pm

Presented by: Hunter Lovins | Eban Goodstein

Can we really stop climate change soon? Yes. Low-cost solar plus low-cost battery storage are fast emerging as "the dominant backbone" of a future global energy economy. Join an evening of conversation on the Solar Dominance Hypothesis: the idea that the 2020’s highly will experience a massive global market disruption in energy, so that within ten years 50% or more of power will be produced from solar plus storage. Combined with Green New Deal type policies to ensure justice in the transition, this could open the road to “solve climate”—the energy side—over the next decade.

EVENT FORMAT:
panel discussion | audience Q&A | networking + refreshments

1619: A Commemoration in Sound

7:30 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
Featuring 

Dr. Whitney Slaten
T.K. Blue Quintet
Souleymane Badolo / Kongo Ba Téria
and the art of James Ransome

1619: A Commemoration in Sound is a remembrance event to mark the 400th anniversary of the first arrival of enslaved people from Africa in the North American British Colonies—the beginning of slavery in what would become the United States of America. 

African descendants’ virtuosic negotiations with Western tonality and forms, as well as cosmopolitan explorations of different sounds, aesthetics, and cultures, have shaped vital contributions to the art, music, and dance of America. Dr. Whitney Slaten, Assistant Professor of Music, brings together virtuosic jazz artist T.K. Blue, choreographer and Visiting Artist in Dance Souleymane Badolo, and lauded illustrator and Dutchess County resident James Ransome for an exploration of history, memory, legacy, and gestures between the U.S. and Africa. 

Presented in partnership with the Difference and Media Project, the Office of Inclusive Excellence, and the Ethnomusicology Area, with support from The Music Program, Historical Studies, Art History, Africana Studies, American Studies, The Arts Division, the Center for Civic Engagement, and the Center for Experimental Humanities.Sponsored by: Fisher Center.

Body Marginalization Film - Participants Needed! 

Short film about body marginalization and body relationships needs participants! 

Thursday, November 7, 2019 – Wednesday, December 18, 2019

Hi all!

I am currently working on a film that aims to inform, educate, and share the stories of individuals who have complex relationships with their bodies or have experienced body marginalization.

The first thing society sees about an individual is their physical appearance. Our bodies shape how we interact with other people, form relationships, access different spaces, and live in the world. Society’s expectations of people’s bodies are constantly portrayed in modern culture’s media, politics, academia, medicine, and more. For many, these spaces are exclusionary, marginalizing certain people whose bodies do not conform to society’s ever-growing expectations of the ideal human image.

I would like participants who are willing to intimately and openly share their personal experiences with body marginalization. This project will ask participants to be vulnerable – but all filming and interviews will be conducted in a safe and respectful environment. I hope to create a filming experience that is a collaborative effort with all who are involved (participants’ appearance and identity may stay anonymous if one chooses).

I am looking for individuals who have been affected by fattism, weightism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, ageism, racism, sexism, or any/all exclusionary and discriminatory thought/action. I would like individuals of all backgrounds and experiences to feel comfortable in this project. I believe that everyone’s story deserves to be heard!

If you have any questions or interest in this project – please email me at ew1597@bard.edu and share with your friends! I will provide friendship and homemade cookies to those who agree to help. Thank you!
