Various “We projected ourselves into a future in which we are loved absolutely and we rehearsed our lives there.”
The Future Is Present is a process and a practice, it’s a model for building community in a very small and incredibly powerful way. Led by artists Charlotte Brathwaite, Justin Hicks, Janani Balasubramanian, Sunder Ganglani, June Cross, and Alyssa Simmons, the project built a small community of Black and Indigenous young people* and a small community of young artists from Bard College** to spend seven weeks cultivating intimacy and discourse.
The youth cohort created demands on our collective future. The Bard community members listened, deeply.
Now, a process of amplifying those demands is underway. The artists at Bard have made a series of short films for the youth cohort, available to view here.
This is an invitation to you to participate, somehow, on terms that make sense in your community. We would love to talk about what that might mean for you. Reach out to coordinator@thefutureispresent.xyz.

Graduate Degree Recital: A Lucky Child Meg Jones, soprano; with pianist Sung-Soo Cho
Saturday, May 1, 2021 7–8:30 pm
Online Event Meg Jones is a soprano who takes great pride in filling the stage with her vivacious voice and dynamic storytelling. She performs repertoire from Baroque to contemporary music, taking every opportunity to explore new pieces. She was the 2018 concerto competition winner at Ithaca College, where she performed “Où va la jeune Hindoue” from Lakmé with the Ithaca College Orchestra. In addition, she sang the lead role of Laetita in IC’s production of Gian Carlo Menotti's opera, The Old Maid and the Thief. The recipient of the Roberta Peters Scholarship at Ithaca College, Meg is currently a second-year student in the Graduate Vocal Arts Program at Bard College-Conservatory in the studio of Edith Bers. At Bard, she has had the honor of performing the role of Laurie in Bard’s very own pastiche, Rest in Pieces directed by Stephanie Blythe. Meg was noted to have “exceeded on stage” (Millbrook Independent) and thoroughly enjoyed exploring Laurie’s story from Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land in a brand-new context. She has also appeared as the soprano soloist for Bach’s Trauerode CantataBWV 198 with the Bard Baroque Ensemble. During this time of unprecedented global disruption, Meg is exploring new ways to create, collaborate, and communicate virtually. Throughout Meg’s last entirely remote semester at Bard College, she will be a part of a world premiere of a Yiddish song cycle in collaboration with composer Derek David, and Bard’s productions of Menotti’s The Medium and Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins, in addition to her graduate recital.

THE CONDO CONCERTS: Anthony McGill, clarinet with Anna Polonsky, piano
Recital by the 2020 winner of the Avery Fisher Prize and member of the Bard Conservatory faculty.
Sunday, May 2, 2021 3–4:30 pm
Online Event Reserve your free tickets for this event at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-condo-concerts-anthony-mcgill-clarinet-tickets-139756606773
Clarinetist Anthony McGill is one of classical music’s most recognizable and brilliantly multifaceted figures. He serves as the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic — that orchestra’s first African-American principal player — and maintains a dynamic international solo and chamber music career. Hailed for his “trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character” (The New York Times), as well as for his “exquisite combination of technical refinement and expressive radiance” (The Baltimore Sun), McGill also serves as an ardent advocate for helping music education reach underserved communities and for addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in classical music. He was honored to take part in the inauguration of President Barack Obama, premiering a piece written for the occasion by John Williams and performing alongside violinist Itzhak Perlman, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and pianist Gabriela Montero.
McGill’s 2019-20 season includes the premiere of a new work by Tyshawn Sorey at the 92Y, and a special collaboration with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato at Carnegie Hall. He will be a featured soloist at the Kennedy Center performing the Copland concerto at the SHIFT Festival of American Orchestras with the Jacksonville Symphony, and will also perform concertos by Copland, Mozart, and Danielpour with the Richmond, Delaware, Alabama, Reno, and San Antonio Symphonies. Additional collaborations include programs with Gloria Chien, Demarre McGill, Michael McHale, Anna Polonsky, Arnaud Sussman, and the Pacifica Quartet.
McGill appears regularly as a soloist with top orchestras around North America including the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, Baltimore Symphony, San Diego Symphony, and Kansas City Symphony. As a chamber musician, McGill is a favorite collaborator of the Brentano, Daedalus, Guarneri, JACK, Miró, Pacifica, Shanghai, Takacs, and Tokyo Quartets, as well as Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnatan, Gloria Chien, Yefim Bronfman, Gil Shaham, Midori, Mitsuko Uchida, and Lang Lang. He has led tours with Musicians from Marlboro and regularly performs for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Festival appearances include Tanglewood, Marlboro, Mainly Mozart, Music@Menlo, and the Santa Fe, Seattle, and Skaneateles Chamber Music Festivals.
In January 2015, McGill recorded the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto together with Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic, which was released on DaCapo Records. He also recorded an album together with his brother Demarre McGill, principal flute of the Seattle Symphony, and pianist Michael McHale; and one featuring the Mozart and Brahms Clarinet Quintet with the Pacifica Quartet that were both released by Cedille Records.
A dedicated champion of new music, in 2014, McGill premiered a new piece written for him by Richard Danielpour entitled “From the Mountaintop” that was commissioned by the New Jersey Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, and Orchestra 2001. McGill served as the 2015-16 Artist-in-Residence for WQXR and has appeared on Performance Today, MPR’s St. Paul Sunday Morning, and Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. In 2013, McGill appeared on the NBC Nightly News and on MSNBC, in stories highlighting the McGill brothers’ inspirational story.
A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, McGill previously served as the principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera and associate principal clarinet of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In-demand as a teacher, he serves on the faculty of the Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music, and Bard College’s Conservatory of Music. He also serves as the Artistic Advisor for the Music Advancement Program at the Juilliard School, on the Board of Directors for both the League of American Orchestra and the Harmony Program, and the advisory council for the InterSchool Orchestras of New York.Sponsored by: Bard College Conservatory of Music.
Constitutionalism and Democratic Backsliding: The Turn against "Genders" in Bulgarian Constitutional Discourse
Monday, May 3, 2021 8–9:30 am
Online Event The Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory at the University of Belgrade welcomes all OSUN members to attend a virtual talk with Ruzha Smilova of Sofia University, who will analyse how the Bulgarian Constitutional court produced a conceptual and ideological innovation when it declared in 2018 that the Istanbul Convention violates the Constitution of Bulgaria. This can be seen as a radical turn away from human rights protection and an important sign of post-accession democratic backsliding.

Trauma Informed Teaching: Intergenerational, Cultural and Institutional Trauma with Amber Rickert
Tuesday, May 4, 2021 2–4 am
Online Event 8 AM Vienna l 2 AM New York
The OSUN Hubs for Connected Learning Initiatives are pleased to invite OSUN members to the "Trauma Informed Educators Workshop and Lecture Series," developed by Ariane Simard from Bard College Berlin.
Trauma Informed Education is an approach that recognizes the influence and impact of trauma on students and educators in the classroom and takes into account how factors including racism, sexism, poverty, community violence, migrant and refugee status, mental health issues, addiction, abuse and neglect can hinder academic achievement as well as personal growth and functioning.
If we recognize education, as bell hooks does, as “part of our real world experience, our real life,” (Democratic Education) then can we understand that trauma, in all its forms, is in the classroom and in the corporate university? As we begin to expand our teaching to include admittedly traumatized populations–be it war veterans, refugees or people who are incarcerated–we need a set of skills that can both address their trauma as well as the trauma we ourselves carry into the classroom.
Drawing on studies on education, brain development and the lasting effects of trauma, as well as some nonviolent communication techniques, this workshop series aims to provide educators with a new understanding on how trauma can affect a student’s ability to function as well as offer up some tools for creating a more trauma informed classroom where educators can begin to model the kind of techniques that will help create new pathways of learning.
This session is led by Amber Wickert. Whether our students are dealing with a refugee status, addiction issues, childhood trauma or intergenerational trauma, the effect on our classroom and ourselves is the same: it wears us out. Looking for ways to examine how cultural trauma presents itself, even in the most high-minded institutions, Amber Rickert’s workshop will draw on her experience as the director of Outpatient Services in South Los Angeles as well as the voice behind groundbreaking community conversations about race and privilege in the wake of Black Lives Matter. This workshop will examine boundaries as a mode of compassion and offer up healing techniques to avoid burnout. This workshop will be recorded.
Please register to receive the Zoom link to attend. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Online Event Simplicial complexes are versatile objects in the intersection of graph theory, combinatorics, topology, and geometry. While mathematicians have always appreciated the fact that simplicial complexes are extremely powerful in spite of being easy to define and relatively easy to work with, their usefulness in real-world applications has increased dramatically just in the last decade or so.
In this talk, I will first discuss the definition and the basic constructions that can be performed with simplicial complexes, toggling back and forth between combinatorics and topology. I will then give an overview of some of their recent applications in signal processing, neuroscience, data analysis, and social sciences. I will in particular describe ongoing work by several undergraduates at Wellesley College in which certain types of political systems and their interactions are modeled by simplicial complexes.
This talk should be accessible to anyone who has had some exposure to combinatorics (basics of combinations and permutations).

The Relationship between Hate and the Fear of Death
Thursday, May 6, 2021 3–4:30 pm
Online Event 3 pm New York l 9 pm Vienna
The Bard Center for the Study of Hate invites OSUN members on Thursday May 6, 2021, at 3 pm to join an event with Sheldon Solomon, Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College, who will speak on “The relationship between hate and the fear of death.”
Many white supremacists cite, with something akin to religious fervor, the “14 words” of convicted terrorist David Lane — “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.”
The fear that our group, our tribe, our identity, our way of life might be dying out, is part of many manifestations of, and justifications for, hate. Dr. Solomon’s article in the Guardian, entitled “The secret to Trump’s success? It’s sheer existential dread,” helps us realize that the connection between fear of death and hate is potentially much deeper and commonplace. The article explores how “authoritarian populist leaders thrive on the fear of death — as we’ve been able to show in carefully controlled experiments.”
Please join the event to learn the implications of this correlation from Dr. Solomon.

"The Trials of Constance Baker Motley" with Joel Motley
Friday, May 7, 2021 9–10 am
Online Event 9 am New York l 3 pm Vienna
OSUN and the Val-Kill Partnership invite network members to attend a discussion with Joel Motley, financier, filmmaker, and Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Human Rights Watch, as part of the Tomorrow Is Now Virtual Discussion Series.
The series highlights the relevance of Eleanor Roosevelt's legacy in today's crises and is hosted by Manuela Roosevelt, chair of the Eleanor Roosevelt, Val-Kill Partnership.
Joel Motley will screen and discuss the award-winning film on his mother, The Trials of Constance Baker Motley, profiling one of the lesser-known, yet most influential players of the civil rights movement.
At the height of the civil rights movement, Constance Baker Motley joined the NAACP’s legal team. The only woman in the group, she left her husband and infant son in New York for weeks at a time to represent the NAACP in Southern courts. The first female Black lawyer Southern judges and juries had seen, she stunned them by winning case after case—gaining the right for Black students to enter Ole Miss, the University of Georgia, and Clemson College.
After the assassination of one of her closest friends, Motley returned to New York—and went on to become the first Black woman NY State Senator, the first Black Woman Manhattan Borough President, and, with the backing of Lyndon Johnson, the first Black woman named to a federal judgeship.
With archival footage and narration in Motley’s own voice, The Trials of Constance Baker Motley tells the story of a civil rights leader who met prejudice and danger with elegance and humor.
The last book Eleanor Roosevelt authored, Tomorrow Is Now, published posthumously in 1962, encapsulates a message that is relevant to all of us today: "It is today that we must create the world of the future."

The Evolution of the Palestinian Cause in Japan: In the Face of Mainstream Media and Political Culture
Friday, May 7, 2021 3–4:30 pm
Online Event Since its defeat in WWII Japan has continuously been a close political ally of the United States, with local corporate media serving as a primary main tool for directing public opinion and silencing dissent. Despite media blackouts on the occupation of Palestine through the late 1990s, information on the Palestinian cause trickled in. A solidarity movement was created through individual-level communication and activism, and evolved from marginalized intellectual circles in the 1960s, to underground student activism and armed struggle in the 1970s and 80s. The long journey of solidarity from the Far East has yet to celebrate justice for Palestine, but where does it stand today?
Mei Shigenobu is a journalist, writer, and media specialist focusing on Middle Eastern issues. She holds a PhD in media studies from Doshisha University in Japan and an MA in international relations from the American University of Beirut. She is the author (in Japanese) of Unveiling the "Arab Spring"; Democratic Revolutions Orchestrated by the West and the Media (2012), From the Ghettos of the Middle East (2003), and Secrets — From Palestine to the Country of Cherry Trees, 28 years with My Mother (2002). She has worked as a live TV host for Asahi Newstar in Tokyo and currently works as a media consultant and producer of programs and documentaries for Japanese and Middle Eastern TV channels. She is the daughter of Japanese Red Army founder Fusako Shigenobu and has been featured in films such as Children of the Revolution, The Anabasis of May and Fusako Shigenobu, Adachi Masao and 27 years Without Images,and others.

Degree Recital: "Oh the Horror of Song!" — Louis Tiemann, baritone, with Sung-Soo Cho, piano
Sunday, May 9, 2021 3–5 pm
Lyric baritone LOUIS TIEMANN believes in the healing potential of music and its ability to bridge divides. Mr. Tiemann brings opera and song to audiences of all walks of life, removing the stigma of elitism by helping to create a space that welcomes everyone. He is driven by the connection to nature and the world around us found in art song, particularly the works of Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert, as well as Gioachino Rossini for the vocal fireworks that are woven throughout his compositions.
From the moment Mr. Tiemann first touched a keyboard, music making has been a central part of his life. From playing flute in his high school’s marching band to singing Irish folk music in a world music ensemble and playing bass guitar for local bands in Baltimore, his eclectic experiences make him an especially thoughtful and unique artist.
Mr. Tiemann is currently earning his master’s degree at Bard College in the Vocal Arts Program, where he studies with Joan Patenaude-Yarnell.Sponsored by: Bard Conservatory Graduate Vocal Arts Program.

Demands for good jobs for all are informing current policy discussions. The current administration is considering federal support for local job creation as part of the Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) and the Green New Deal. Students from Bard College’s Right to Employment course have undertaken a project analyzing how a CCC public service employment program could be locally implemented in both Kingston and Newburgh, NY. Preliminary conversations with local community leaders and policy makers informed the proposals. The public presentations include an evaluation of the number of people that could be employed, the kinds of community projects that could be created, the organizations that could help run the projects, and the expected impact on the cities. Sponsored by the OSUN Economic Democracy Initiative.

Solidarity! Activism and the Origins of Asian American Studies
Calvin Cheung-Miaw (Stanford University)
Thursday, May 13, 2021 5–6:30 pm
Online Event Why did people of Asian descent in the United States begin calling themselves Asian American in the late 1960s, and why did so many young Asian Americans join the movement to demand Asian American Studies on college campuses? This talk explores the activist origins of Asian American identity, with a focus on how Asian Americans thought about multiethnic and multiracial solidarity. It places the founding of Asian American Studies within the context of activist ideas about the transformation of relationships between campus and community, and asks what this history might mean for us today.
Calvin Cheung-Miaw is a PhD candidate in the Program in Modern Thought and Literature at Stanford University. He is a historian of race, who works at the intersection of intellectual history and social movement history. His dissertation, “Asian Americans and the Color-Line,” provides the first intellectual history of Asian American Studies and explores the rise and decline of Third Worldism in the United States. His writings have been published in Amerasia Journal, In These Times, and Organizing Upgrade. An article on transnational political murders during the Reagan era is forthcoming from Pacific Historical Review, and another article on Claire Jean Kim’s work is forthcoming from Politics, Groups, and Identities. In the fall he will be joining the history faculty at Duke University.

OSUN and the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory invite you to a panel discussion on Conversations about Populism. The discussion is inspired by the publication of two volumes edited by Professor Mirjana Nikolić and Professor Milena Dragićević Šešić from the University of Arts in Belgrade. Mediji, Kultura i Umetnost u Doba Populizma (published in 2018) focused on changes in politics, culture, and media in the era of populist politics and Situating Populist Politics: Arts and Media Nexus (published in 2019) dealt with art and media within cultural and public policies in response to populist and nationalist demands.
The discussion will cover the different ways that populist political communication is entering the public realm, but even more to what extent arts, culture, and media are influenced by political populism.
Participants: Milena Dragićević Šešić, Professor Emeritus of the University of Arts in Belgrade Mirjana Nikolić, Full Professor at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts and rector of the University of Arts in Belgrade Monika Mokre, Senior Research Associate at the Institute of Culture Studies and Theatre History of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Miikka Pyykkönen, Professor of Cultural Policy at the University of Jyväskylä and a docent of sociology at the University of Helsinki Marjan Ivković, Research Associate at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade Mark Losoncz, Research Associate at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade

Friday, May 14, 2021 12:15–1:30 pm
Demands for good jobs for all are informing current policy discussions. The current administration is considering federal support for local job creation as part of the Civilian Climate Corps (CCC) and the Green New Deal. Students from Bard College’s Right to Employment course have undertaken a project analyzing how a CCC public service employment program could be locally implemented in both Kingston and Newburgh, NY. Preliminary conversations with local community leaders and policy makers informed the proposals. The public presentations include an evaluation of the number of people that could be employed, the kinds of community projects that could be created, the organizations that could help run the projects, and the expected impact on the cities.

Experimental Humanities "Unconference" on COVID Exceptionalism
Saturday, May 15, 2021 10 am – 3 pm
Online Event 10 am – 3 pm New York 4 pm – 9 pm Vienna
The OSUN Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network (EHCN) invites all network members, including students, to an "unconference" on COVID Exceptionalism, taking place on Saturday, May 15. Unlike a traditional conference, all attendees will have the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary discussions and performances, in an open forum in which to reflect on the wider implications of the pandemic.
COVID Exceptionalism is an interdisciplinary, virtual unconference focused on the intersection of public health, technology, and the arts and humanities. This event and companion online archive aims to reflect critically on the present moment both as a mirror of systemic inequalities—race, gender, class—and as a means of radical transformations—educational and economic, scientific and medical, cultural and interpersonal.
This virtual unconference aims to interrogate the structural social underpinnings that the pandemic has exposed as well as the extraordinary social transformations that it has set in motion.
What is exceptional about COVID? And for whom? What has truly changed, and what is being revealed for what it always was? Which of the profound changes to our modes of life should be fought, and which should be accepted as a change for the better? What new technologies, living arrangements, modes of governance, and models of care have emerged, and will they outlast this critical moment in our history?
Alongside the forum, we will host an expansive digital archive of the detritus of the epidemic—the traces left in the form of medical bills, journal entries, memorials to the lost, poems, songs, records of hygienic obsessions, artworks, vaccine stickers, eviction notices, loan statements, protest banners, prescription bottles, denied visa applications, administrative emails mandating protocols, memes, and children’s drawings.
The Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network rethinks how we engage with the humanities and seeks to redefine what they are in the light of changing technologies, an increasingly connected global landscape, and the ongoing ecological crisis. Through interdisciplinary and public-facing pedagogy, curricular design, and research, it strives to create more inclusive universities. The project is made possible through OSUN, EHCN, and the Inclusion Challenge funded by the Office of the Dean at Bard College. For more information, call 845-758-6822, or visit https://blogs.bard.edu/covid-archive/unconference/.

Various “We projected ourselves into a future in which we are loved absolutely and we rehearsed our lives there.”
The Future Is Present is a process and a practice, it’s a model for building community in a very small and incredibly powerful way. Led by artists Charlotte Brathwaite, Justin Hicks, Janani Balasubramanian, Sunder Ganglani, June Cross, and Alyssa Simmons, the project built a small community of Black and Indigenous young people* and a small community of young artists from Bard College** to spend seven weeks cultivating intimacy and discourse.
The youth cohort created demands on our collective future. The Bard community members listened, deeply.
Now, a process of amplifying those demands is underway. The artists at Bard have made a series of short films for the youth cohort, available to view here.
This is an invitation to you to participate, somehow, on terms that make sense in your community. We would love to talk about what that might mean for you. Reach out to coordinator@thefutureispresent.xyz.

Graduate Degree Recital: A Lucky Child Meg Jones, soprano; with pianist Sung-Soo Cho
Saturday, May 1, 2021 7–8:30 pm
Online Event Meg Jones is a soprano who takes great pride in filling the stage with her vivacious voice and dynamic storytelling. She performs repertoire from Baroque to contemporary music, taking every opportunity to explore new pieces. She was the 2018 concerto competition winner at Ithaca College, where she performed “Où va la jeune Hindoue” from Lakmé with the Ithaca College Orchestra. In addition, she sang the lead role of Laetita in IC’s production of Gian Carlo Menotti's opera, The Old Maid and the Thief. The recipient of the Roberta Peters Scholarship at Ithaca College, Meg is currently a second-year student in the Graduate Vocal Arts Program at Bard College-Conservatory in the studio of Edith Bers. At Bard, she has had the honor of performing the role of Laurie in Bard’s very own pastiche, Rest in Pieces directed by Stephanie Blythe. Meg was noted to have “exceeded on stage” (Millbrook Independent) and thoroughly enjoyed exploring Laurie’s story from Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land in a brand-new context. She has also appeared as the soprano soloist for Bach’s Trauerode CantataBWV 198 with the Bard Baroque Ensemble. During this time of unprecedented global disruption, Meg is exploring new ways to create, collaborate, and communicate virtually. Throughout Meg’s last entirely remote semester at Bard College, she will be a part of a world premiere of a Yiddish song cycle in collaboration with composer Derek David, and Bard’s productions of Menotti’s The Medium and Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins, in addition to her graduate recital.

THE CONDO CONCERTS: Anthony McGill, clarinet with Anna Polonsky, piano
Recital by the 2020 winner of the Avery Fisher Prize and member of the Bard Conservatory faculty.
Sunday, May 2, 2021 3–4:30 pm
Online Event Reserve your free tickets for this event at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-condo-concerts-anthony-mcgill-clarinet-tickets-139756606773
Clarinetist Anthony McGill is one of classical music’s most recognizable and brilliantly multifaceted figures. He serves as the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic — that orchestra’s first African-American principal player — and maintains a dynamic international solo and chamber music career. Hailed for his “trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character” (The New York Times), as well as for his “exquisite combination of technical refinement and expressive radiance” (The Baltimore Sun), McGill also serves as an ardent advocate for helping music education reach underserved communities and for addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in classical music. He was honored to take part in the inauguration of President Barack Obama, premiering a piece written for the occasion by John Williams and performing alongside violinist Itzhak Perlman, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and pianist Gabriela Montero.
McGill’s 2019-20 season includes the premiere of a new work by Tyshawn Sorey at the 92Y, and a special collaboration with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato at Carnegie Hall. He will be a featured soloist at the Kennedy Center performing the Copland concerto at the SHIFT Festival of American Orchestras with the Jacksonville Symphony, and will also perform concertos by Copland, Mozart, and Danielpour with the Richmond, Delaware, Alabama, Reno, and San Antonio Symphonies. Additional collaborations include programs with Gloria Chien, Demarre McGill, Michael McHale, Anna Polonsky, Arnaud Sussman, and the Pacifica Quartet.
McGill appears regularly as a soloist with top orchestras around North America including the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, Baltimore Symphony, San Diego Symphony, and Kansas City Symphony. As a chamber musician, McGill is a favorite collaborator of the Brentano, Daedalus, Guarneri, JACK, Miró, Pacifica, Shanghai, Takacs, and Tokyo Quartets, as well as Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnatan, Gloria Chien, Yefim Bronfman, Gil Shaham, Midori, Mitsuko Uchida, and Lang Lang. He has led tours with Musicians from Marlboro and regularly performs for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Festival appearances include Tanglewood, Marlboro, Mainly Mozart, Music@Menlo, and the Santa Fe, Seattle, and Skaneateles Chamber Music Festivals.
In January 2015, McGill recorded the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto together with Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic, which was released on DaCapo Records. He also recorded an album together with his brother Demarre McGill, principal flute of the Seattle Symphony, and pianist Michael McHale; and one featuring the Mozart and Brahms Clarinet Quintet with the Pacifica Quartet that were both released by Cedille Records.
A dedicated champion of new music, in 2014, McGill premiered a new piece written for him by Richard Danielpour entitled “From the Mountaintop” that was commissioned by the New Jersey Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, and Orchestra 2001. McGill served as the 2015-16 Artist-in-Residence for WQXR and has appeared on Performance Today, MPR’s St. Paul Sunday Morning, and Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. In 2013, McGill appeared on the NBC Nightly News and on MSNBC, in stories highlighting the McGill brothers’ inspirational story.
A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, McGill previously served as the principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera and associate principal clarinet of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In-demand as a teacher, he serves on the faculty of the Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music, and Bard College’s Conservatory of Music. He also serves as the Artistic Advisor for the Music Advancement Program at the Juilliard School, on the Board of Directors for both the League of American Orchestra and the Harmony Program, and the advisory council for the InterSchool Orchestras of New York.Sponsored by: Bard College Conservatory of Music.
Constitutionalism and Democratic Backsliding: The Turn against "Genders" in Bulgarian Constitutional Discourse
Monday, May 3, 2021 8–9:30 am
Online Event The Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory at the University of Belgrade welcomes all OSUN members to attend a virtual talk with Ruzha Smilova of Sofia University, who will analyse how the Bulgarian Constitutional court produced a conceptual and ideological innovation when it declared in 2018 that the Istanbul Convention violates the Constitution of Bulgaria. This can be seen as a radical turn away from human rights protection and an important sign of post-accession democratic backsliding.

Trauma Informed Education is an approach that recognizes the influence and impact of trauma on students and educators in the classroom and takes into account how factors including racism, sexism, poverty, community violence, migrant and refugee status, mental health issues, addiction, abuse and neglect can hinder academic achievement as well as personal growth and functioning.
If we recognize education, as bell hooks does, as “part of our real world experience, our real life,” (Democratic Education) then can we understand that trauma, in all its forms, is in the classroom and in the corporate university? As we begin to expand our teaching to include admittedly traumatized populations–be it war veterans, refugees or people who are incarcerated–we need a set of skills that can both address their trauma as well as the trauma we ourselves carry into the classroom.
Drawing on studies on education, brain development and the lasting effects of trauma, as well as some nonviolent communication techniques, this workshop series aims to provide educators with a new understanding on how trauma can affect a student’s ability to function as well as offer up some tools for creating a more trauma informed classroom where educators can begin to model the kind of techniques that will help create new pathways of learning.
This session is led by Amber Wickert. Whether our students are dealing with a refugee status, addiction issues, childhood trauma or intergenerational trauma, the effect on our classroom and ourselves is the same: it wears us out. Looking for ways to examine how cultural trauma presents itself, even in the most high-minded institutions, Amber Rickert’s workshop will draw on her experience as the director of Outpatient Services in South Los Angeles as well as the voice behind groundbreaking community conversations about race and privilege in the wake of Black Lives Matter. This workshop will examine boundaries as a mode of compassion and offer up healing techniques to avoid burnout. This workshop will be recorded.

Online Event Simplicial complexes are versatile objects in the intersection of graph theory, combinatorics, topology, and geometry. While mathematicians have always appreciated the fact that simplicial complexes are extremely powerful in spite of being easy to define and relatively easy to work with, their usefulness in real-world applications has increased dramatically just in the last decade or so.
In this talk, I will first discuss the definition and the basic constructions that can be performed with simplicial complexes, toggling back and forth between combinatorics and topology. I will then give an overview of some of their recent applications in signal processing, neuroscience, data analysis, and social sciences. I will in particular describe ongoing work by several undergraduates at Wellesley College in which certain types of political systems and their interactions are modeled by simplicial complexes.
This talk should be accessible to anyone who has had some exposure to combinatorics (basics of combinations and permutations).

The Relationship between Hate and the Fear of Death
Thursday, May 6, 2021 3–4:30 pm
Online Event 3 pm New York l 9 pm Vienna
The Bard Center for the Study of Hate invites OSUN members on Thursday May 6, 2021, at 3 pm to join an event with Sheldon Solomon, Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College, who will speak on “The relationship between hate and the fear of death.”
Many white supremacists cite, with something akin to religious fervor, the “14 words” of convicted terrorist David Lane — “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.”
The fear that our group, our tribe, our identity, our way of life might be dying out, is part of many manifestations of, and justifications for, hate. Dr. Solomon’s article in the Guardian, entitled “The secret to Trump’s success? It’s sheer existential dread,” helps us realize that the connection between fear of death and hate is potentially much deeper and commonplace. The article explores how “authoritarian populist leaders thrive on the fear of death — as we’ve been able to show in carefully controlled experiments.”
Please join the event to learn the implications of this correlation from Dr. Solomon.

Trauma Informed Teaching: Intergenerational, Cultural and Institutional Trauma with Ariane Simard

Online Event 12 PM Vienna l 6 AM New York

Exploring the boundaries of our own role in the classroom and our part in institutionalized and cultural trauma, in today's event, we will workshop ways to turn these tools into lesson plans and learning objectives. Instructors should be prepared to discuss an assignment they regularly teach and should have either attended or viewed the recording of Amber Rickert’s May 4th workshop on Inter-generation, Cultural and Institutional Trauma.

"The Trials of Constance Baker Motley" with Joel Motley
Friday, May 7, 2021 9–10 am
Online Event 9 am New York l 3 pm Vienna
OSUN and the Val-Kill Partnership invite network members to attend a discussion with Joel Motley, financier, filmmaker, and Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Human Rights Watch, as part of the Tomorrow Is Now Virtual Discussion Series.
The series highlights the relevance of Eleanor Roosevelt's legacy in today's crises and is hosted by Manuela Roosevelt, chair of the Eleanor Roosevelt, Val-Kill Partnership.
Joel Motley will screen and discuss the award-winning film on his mother, The Trials of Constance Baker Motley, profiling one of the lesser-known, yet most influential players of the civil rights movement.
At the height of the civil rights movement, Constance Baker Motley joined the NAACP’s legal team. The only woman in the group, she left her husband and infant son in New York for weeks at a time to represent the NAACP in Southern courts. The first female Black lawyer Southern judges and juries had seen, she stunned them by winning case after case—gaining the right for Black students to enter Ole Miss, the University of Georgia, and Clemson College.
After the assassination of one of her closest friends, Motley returned to New York—and went on to become the first Black woman NY State Senator, the first Black Woman Manhattan Borough President, and, with the backing of Lyndon Johnson, the first Black woman named to a federal judgeship.
With archival footage and narration in Motley’s own voice, The Trials of Constance Baker Motley tells the story of a civil rights leader who met prejudice and danger with elegance and humor.
The last book Eleanor Roosevelt authored, Tomorrow Is Now, published posthumously in 1962, encapsulates a message that is relevant to all of us today: "It is today that we must create the world of the future."
Online Event Each semester CCS Bard hosts a program of lectures by leading artists, curators, art historians, and critics, situating the school and museum’s concerns within the larger context of contemporary art production and discourse. Lectures are open to students and faculty, as well as to the general public, and will also be documented through video and/or audio recordings, which will reside in the CCS Bard Library and Archives. All talks are free and open to the public - registration is required in advance.
Deana Haggag is the President & CEO of United States Artists, a national arts funding organization based in Chicago, IL. Before joining USA in February 2017, she was the Executive Director of The Contemporary, a nomadic and non-collecting art museum in Baltimore, MD, for four years.

An analysis of several musical and literary texts by the band Mashrou Leila, as sites for negotiating the discursive boundaries of gender construction in the public sphere, and an attempt to frame the work within ongoing conversations about the limits of representation as a mode of political engagement.
Hamed Sinno (they/he) is a New York based musician, poet, vocal instructor, and social justice advocate. They have been the writer and front-person for Mashrouʼ Leila since 2008.

The Evolution of the Palestinian Cause in Japan: In the Face of Mainstream Media and Political Culture
Friday, May 7, 2021 3–4:30 pm
Online Event Since its defeat in WWII Japan has continuously been a close political ally of the United States, with local corporate media serving as a primary main tool for directing public opinion and silencing dissent. Despite media blackouts on the occupation of Palestine through the late 1990s, information on the Palestinian cause trickled in. A solidarity movement was created through individual-level communication and activism, and evolved from marginalized intellectual circles in the 1960s, to underground student activism and armed struggle in the 1970s and 80s. The long journey of solidarity from the Far East has yet to celebrate justice for Palestine, but where does it stand today?
Mei Shigenobu is a journalist, writer, and media specialist focusing on Middle Eastern issues. She holds a PhD in media studies from Doshisha University in Japan and an MA in international relations from the American University of Beirut. She is the author (in Japanese) of Unveiling the "Arab Spring"; Democratic Revolutions Orchestrated by the West and the Media (2012), From the Ghettos of the Middle East (2003), and Secrets — From Palestine to the Country of Cherry Trees, 28 years with My Mother (2002). She has worked as a live TV host for Asahi Newstar in Tokyo and currently works as a media consultant and producer of programs and documentaries for Japanese and Middle Eastern TV channels. She is the daughter of Japanese Red Army founder Fusako Shigenobu and has been featured in films such as Children of the Revolution, The Anabasis of May and Fusako Shigenobu, Adachi Masao and 27 years Without Images,and others.

Degree Recital: "Oh the Horror of Song!" — Louis Tiemann, baritone, with Sung-Soo Cho, piano
Sunday, May 9, 2021 3–5 pm
Lyric baritone LOUIS TIEMANN believes in the healing potential of music and its ability to bridge divides. Mr. Tiemann brings opera and song to audiences of all walks of life, removing the stigma of elitism by helping to create a space that welcomes everyone. He is driven by the connection to nature and the world around us found in art song, particularly the works of Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert, as well as Gioachino Rossini for the vocal fireworks that are woven throughout his compositions.
From the moment Mr. Tiemann first touched a keyboard, music making has been a central part of his life. From playing flute in his high school’s marching band to singing Irish folk music in a world music ensemble and playing bass guitar for local bands in Baltimore, his eclectic experiences make him an especially thoughtful and unique artist.
Mr. Tiemann is currently earning his master’s degree at Bard College in the Vocal Arts Program, where he studies with Joan Patenaude-Yarnell.Sponsored by: Bard Conservatory Graduate Vocal Arts Program.

Students from Bard College’s Right to Employment course have undertaken a project analyzing how a CCC public service employment program could be locally implemented in both Kingston and Newburgh, NY. Preliminary conversations with local community leaders and policy makers informed the proposals. The public presentations include an evaluation of the number of people that could be employed, the kinds of community projects that could be created, the organizations that could help run the projects, and the expected impact on the cities. Sponsored by the OSUN Economic Democracy Initiative.

Solidarity! Activism and the Origins of Asian American Studies
Calvin Cheung-Miaw (Stanford University)
Thursday, May 13, 2021 5–6:30 pm
Online Event Why did people of Asian descent in the United States begin calling themselves Asian American in the late 1960s, and why did so many young Asian Americans join the movement to demand Asian American Studies on college campuses? This talk explores the activist origins of Asian American identity, with a focus on how Asian Americans thought about multiethnic and multiracial solidarity. It places the founding of Asian American Studies within the context of activist ideas about the transformation of relationships between campus and community, and asks what this history might mean for us today.
Calvin Cheung-Miaw is a PhD candidate in the Program in Modern Thought and Literature at Stanford University. He is a historian of race, who works at the intersection of intellectual history and social movement history. His dissertation, “Asian Americans and the Color-Line,” provides the first intellectual history of Asian American Studies and explores the rise and decline of Third Worldism in the United States. His writings have been published in Amerasia Journal, In These Times, and Organizing Upgrade. An article on transnational political murders during the Reagan era is forthcoming from Pacific Historical Review, and another article on Claire Jean Kim’s work is forthcoming from Politics, Groups, and Identities. In the fall he will be joining the history faculty at Duke University.

OSUN and the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory invite you to a panel discussion on Conversations about Populism. The discussion is inspired by the publication of two volumes edited by Professor Mirjana Nikolić and Professor Milena Dragićević Šešić from the University of Arts in Belgrade. Mediji, Kultura i Umetnost u Doba Populizma (published in 2018) focused on changes in politics, culture, and media in the era of populist politics and Situating Populist Politics: Arts and Media Nexus (published in 2019) dealt with art and media within cultural and public policies in response to populist and nationalist demands.
The discussion will cover the different ways that populist political communication is entering the public realm, but even more to what extent arts, culture, and media are influenced by political populism.
Participants: Milena Dragićević Šešić, Professor Emeritus of the University of Arts in Belgrade Mirjana Nikolić, Full Professor at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts and rector of the University of Arts in Belgrade Monika Mokre, Senior Research Associate at the Institute of Culture Studies and Theatre History of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Miikka Pyykkönen, Professor of Cultural Policy at the University of Jyväskylä and a docent of sociology at the University of Helsinki Marjan Ivković, Research Associate at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade Mark Losoncz, Research Associate at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade

Experimental Humanities "Unconference" on COVID Exceptionalism
Saturday, May 15, 2021 10 am – 3 pm
Online Event 10 am – 3 pm New York 4 pm – 9 pm Vienna
The OSUN Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network (EHCN) invites all network members, including students, to an "unconference" on COVID Exceptionalism, taking place on Saturday, May 15. Unlike a traditional conference, all attendees will have the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary discussions and performances, in an open forum in which to reflect on the wider implications of the pandemic.
COVID Exceptionalism is an interdisciplinary, virtual unconference focused on the intersection of public health, technology, and the arts and humanities. This event and companion online archive aims to reflect critically on the present moment both as a mirror of systemic inequalities—race, gender, class—and as a means of radical transformations—educational and economic, scientific and medical, cultural and interpersonal.
This virtual unconference aims to interrogate the structural social underpinnings that the pandemic has exposed as well as the extraordinary social transformations that it has set in motion.
What is exceptional about COVID? And for whom? What has truly changed, and what is being revealed for what it always was? Which of the profound changes to our modes of life should be fought, and which should be accepted as a change for the better? What new technologies, living arrangements, modes of governance, and models of care have emerged, and will they outlast this critical moment in our history?
Alongside the forum, we will host an expansive digital archive of the detritus of the epidemic—the traces left in the form of medical bills, journal entries, memorials to the lost, poems, songs, records of hygienic obsessions, artworks, vaccine stickers, eviction notices, loan statements, protest banners, prescription bottles, denied visa applications, administrative emails mandating protocols, memes, and children’s drawings.
The Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network rethinks how we engage with the humanities and seeks to redefine what they are in the light of changing technologies, an increasingly connected global landscape, and the ongoing ecological crisis. Through interdisciplinary and public-facing pedagogy, curricular design, and research, it strives to create more inclusive universities. The project is made possible through OSUN, EHCN, and the Inclusion Challenge funded by the Office of the Dean at Bard College. For more information, call 845-758-6822, or visit https://blogs.bard.edu/covid-archive/unconference/.
Online Event Join Bard Bookworms: International Edition for our last meeting of the semester! We will be discussing our favorite books from the last academic year that we either read for class or in our spare time.
