Part of a larger dissertation project, this talk makes a connection between the subjects of early comics, which often included immigrants and their children, like the Irish-American Yellow Kid; and political cartoons about immigration and American imperialism from the periods of the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Spanish-American War. Drawing on his long-established connection to yellow journalism and noting that, while explicitly Irish, the Yellow Kid is drawn in the visual idiom of anti-Chinese caricature, this talk posits that caricature is a technology of empire and inclusion that, through ideas about immigrants and expansionism that were often clothed in metaphors of childhood, served to differentiate acceptable, if unruly, white citizen subjects from imperial others.

Blithewood, Levy Institute
As told in the best-selling Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder, Deo’s "coming to courage" was motivated by his challenging childhood in rural Burundi and by the desperation and the atrocities of what he saw around him. It was as if he had no choice in the matter. Quite literally, he had to have "courage to be" to exist at all. Courage to escape (the courage of his friendly accomplices along the way) and courage to land in one of the biggest cities in the world with no common language or resources other than his own bravery. And then, in meeting three extraordinary New Yorkers, Deo experienced acts of extreme kindness which were at the same time acts of great courage. Thus began his new American community, which grew to include Columbia, Harvard, PIH, and Dartmouth. Deo’s return to his destroyed native Burundi was to help bring decency, where it had been lost, through quality healthcare and education based on critical thinking. This itself was an act of courage that begat – and ultimately relied on – the courage of others. Turning swords and guns into shovels and ploughs, clearing land, making bricks, laying roads, is where the community again enlarged: their “courage to be” was the courage to defy recent history and build something out of the wreckage. This community continues to this day in the design and the destiny of Village Health Works (VHW), a community of courageous souls with courageous ambition to be healthy and educated and hopeful – and pass that on for generations to come. Courage is VHW's birthright. Otherwise we would not be building a major teaching hospital – or an academy and teacher learning institute – on a rural mountaintop in one of the hungriest and poorest places on the planet.
Niyizonkiza's life journey is told in Pulitzer Prize–winner Tracy Kidder’s book Strength in What Remains, a New York Times best seller named one of the best books of the year by Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune.
Despite the hurdles—homelessness, illness, and low-paying work as a grocery store delivery boy—Niyizonkiza eventually enrolled at Columbia University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and philosophy. After graduating from Columbia, he attended the Harvard School of Public Health, where he met Dr. Paul Farmer and began working at the medical nonprofit organization Partners In Health. He left Partners In Health to continue his medical education at Dartmouth Medical School.
In 2005, with his unwavering conviction that humanity’s progress should be in how we value and honor the dignity of others, including those a world away, Niyizonkiza traveled back to Burundi to establish Village Health Works with the goal of removing barriers to human dignity and progress by creating a healthcare system model in Kigutu, a remote village of Burundi, an East African country and one of the poorest on the planet. His passion galvanized his native community of Kigutu into action. Thanks to community-donated land, a small amount of seed money from American fellow students and supporters, a community of compassionate volunteers, and Niyizonkiza’s leadership, the health center opened in December 2007. Niyizonkiza’s success in building an entirely community-driven health and development organization is unprecedented, and makes Village Health Works unique among NGOs.
A frequent lecturer on global health, Niyizonkiza is the recipient of numerous awards, including an honor by the Carnegie Foundation of New York as the 2016 Great Immigrant: The Pride of America, the 2016 Presidential Medal: Amities des Peuples (Burundi), the 2014 Dalai Lama’s Unsung Heroes Award, the 2014 Wheaton College Otis Social Justice Award, the 2013 People to People International’s Eisenhower Medallion Award, a 2013 honorary degree from Williams College, the 2011 International Medal Award of St. John’s University, and the 2010 Women’s Refugee Commission Voices of Courage Award.

Blum N211 - the jazz room
NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan will conduct a Master Class on Tues, March 5, for the Jazz Vocal Workshop class hosted by Pamela Pentony at 4:30pm in Blum N211, the Jazz Room.
One of the most consistently creative of all jazz singers, Sheila Jordan has done the maximum with her instrument. She is one of the few vocalists who can improvise logical lyrics (which often rhyme), she is a superb scat singer, and is also an emotional interpreter of ballads. She is one of the few singers to lead her own Blue Note album (1962). She recorded as a leader (in addition to the Blue Note session) for East Wind, Grapevine, SteepleChase, Palo Alto, Blackhawk, and Muse, and in 1999 with Jazz Child.

How does Kant evaluate sympathy? Does he take it to be supportive of morality or does he view it as an obstacle for moral action? Sympathetic feelings generally have a good reputation. We praise those who show them and we call for them as a solution to moral problems. The recent debate about moral emotions both in philosophy and psychology has introduced some push-back against a positive evaluation of sympathy. This paper shows that Kant, like the contemporary critics of sympathetic feelings and like many of his colleagues in the 18th century, shares the view that sympathy is a problematic emotion. We have gained a much better understanding of Kant’s moral philosophy through recent scholarship showing that moral emotions, and sympathy in particular, can and do play a role in his deontological framework. But disregarding Kant’s criticisms of moral emotions also leaves us with a lacking interpretation. Kant’s moral psychology of sympathy is more complex than has been appreciated. And it makes more interesting and more plausible recommendations about how we should respond to sympathetic feeling.Sponsored by: Philosophy Program.

“The topic of the border wall between the United States and Mexico continues to be broadly and hotly debated: on national news media, by local and state governments, and even in coffee shops and over the dinner table. By now, broad segments of the population have heard widely varying opinions about the wall’s effect on illegal immigration, international politics, and the drug war. But what about the wall’s effect on the Sonoran pronghorn antelope herds and the kit fox? On the Mexican gray wolf, the ocelot, the jaguar, and the bighorn sheep? In unforgettable images and evocative text, Continental Divide: Wildlife, People, and the Border Wall shows us what’s at stake.” — Krista SchlyerSponsored by: Bard Center for Environmental Policy; Human Rights Project; La Voz; Photography Program.

A short cycle of songs by Barber, Carter, Copland, and Ives, followed by a performance of The Sayings of Péter Bornemisza, with introductory remarks by Peter Laki, visiting associate professor of music. The noted soprano Tony Arnold, a faculty member at the Peabody Conservatory and the Tanglewood Music Center with more than 30 discs of contemporary works to her credit, will be joined by Gábor Csalog, a distinguished Hungarian pianist and faculty member at the Liszt Academy in Budapest.
György Kurtág's (b. 1926)The Sayings of Péter Bornemisza, Op. 7, for soprano and piano (1963–-68) has been described as the most significant piece of music composed in Hungary since the death of Bartók in 1945.

In early medieval China, also known as the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420–589 CE), the territories once unified under the Han Empire (206 BCE–220 CE) were fragmented and in turmoil. Several dynastic states coexisted uneasily, competing not only militarily but also for cultural prestige and legitimacy. In diplomatic exchanges between rival courts, envoys and courtiers waged a kind of “cultural warfare,” employing a range of rhetorical strategies to assert the political authority and cultural superiority of their respective states.
Previous scholars have framed the Northern and Southern Dynasties as cultural dichotomous, with crude and simple non-Chinese in the North and culturally sophisticated “Han” Chinese in the South. This dichotomy is also couched in gendered terms, with northern culture presented as virile and masculine and its southern counterpart as sensual and feminine. My research finds this framework reductive and misleading and reveals a much more complicated dynamic between the northern and southern cultures. By examining diplomatic writings, letters, anecdotes, and other literary sources from both the North and the South, I show how court centers manipulated a shared cultural legacy to engage in diplomatic negotiation and how, based on this shared cultural repertoire, they also fashioned identities and strove to claim a mantle of political and cultural legitimacy through various forms of discursive practices.

Jewish Humor from
Tuesday, March 12, 2019
Olin, Room 102
This talk follows Jewish humor from Sholem Aleichem’s monologues to American Jewish fiction and standup comedy. At the core of this story is an oral-style voice that began in Yiddish and moved to American writing in works by authors like Yezierska, Rosten, Paley, and Roth. Echoes of Yiddish continue as a prominent part of Jewish humor in performances by Lenny Bruce and in current television series. The evening will feature film clips and live performance.
Ken Frieden, the B. G. Rudolph Professor of Judaic Studies at Syracuse University, published Travels in Translation: Sea Tales at the Source of Jewish Fiction in 2016. Prior books include Classic Yiddish Fiction (1995) and anthologies of Yiddish literature in translation, such as Tales of Mendele the Book Peddler (1996) and Classic Yiddish Stories (2004). At Syracuse University Press, Frieden edits the series Judaic Traditions in Literature, Music, and Art.Sponsored by: Jewish Studies Program; Literature Program.

Japanese poetry is often associated with traditional verse (haiku, tanka) and Zen Buddhism. Japan today is understood in vastly different ways—famed as much for the sophisticated metropolitan capital and anime as it is for its traditional and natural beauty. The “translationscape” of Japanese poetry reveals massive gaps between the texts and authors that reach Western languages and the vivacious, roiling, even overwhelming world of Japanese poetry today. Contemporary poetry, in its many (and competing) forms, plays a vital role of resistance in a nation where discourses of economic stagnation threaten to define an era. Poetry practitioners treat their arts (writing and performing) with reverence while fully utilizing all arts and media available. Drawing on his experience editing the Tokyo Poetry Journal, building bridges between anglophone and Japanese poetry worlds, writing bilingual poetry, and translating luminaries in the making, Prof. Smith’s talk blends ethnography of the contemporary world of Japanese poetry with readings of poems by the current cutting edges—tracing their jagged contours and trajectories into and outside of various spaces of poetry.
Jordan A. Y. Smith writes poetry and comic theater and has translated poetry by Yoshimasu Gozo (for Poetry Review, Tokyo Poetry Journal), Mizuta Noriko (The Road Home 2015; Sea of Blue Algae, 2016), Nomura Kiwao, Misumi Mizuki, Fuzuki Yumi, and Usami Kohji, and prose fiction from Alberto Fuguet and Fernando Iwasaki. He is currently an associate professor in international humanities at Josai International University, and has previously taught comparative literature, Japanese studies, literary translation, and English at California State University Long Beach, UCLA, Roger Williams University, UC Riverside, Pepperdine University, and Korea University.Sponsored by: Asian Studies Program; Translation and Translatability Initiative.

Roger T. Ames
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
Olin, Room 205
In the introduction of Chinese philosophy and culture into the Western academy, we have tended to theorize and conceptualize this antique tradition by appeal to familiar categories. Confucian role ethics is an attempt to articulate a sui generis moral philosophy that allows this tradition to have its own voice. This holistic philosophy is grounded in the primacy of relationality, and is a challenge to a foundational liberal individualism that has defined persons as discrete, autonomous, rational, free, and often self-interested agents. Confucian role ethics begins from a relationally constituted conception of person, takes family roles and relations as the entry point for developing moral competence, invokes moral imagination and the growth in relations that it can inspire as the substance of human morality, and entails a human-centered, a-theistic religiousness that stands in sharp contrast to the Abrahamic religions.
Roger T. Ames is humanities chair professor at Peking University, cochair of the academic advisory committee of the Peking University Berggruen Research Center, and professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Hawai’i. He is former editor of Philosophy East and West and founding editor of China Review International. Ames has authored several interpretative studies of Chinese philosophy and culture: Thinking Through Confucius (1987), Anticipating China (1995), Thinking from the Han (1998), and Democracy of the Dead (1999) (all with D. L. Hall); Confucian Role Ethics: A Vocabulary (2011); and, most recently, “Human Becomings: Theorizing ‘Persons’ for Confucian Role Ethics” (forthcoming). His publications also include translations of Chinese classics: Sun-tzu: The Art of Warfare (1993); Sun Pin: The Art of Warfare (1996) (with D. C. Lau); the Confucian Analects (1998) and the Classic of Family Reverence: The “Xiaojing” (2009) (both with H. Rosemont), Focusing the Familiar: The “Zhongyong” (2001), and The “Daodejing” (with D. L. Hall) (2003). Almost all of his publications are now available in Chinese translation, including his philosophical translations of Chinese canonical texts. He has most recently been engaged in compiling the new Sourcebook of Classical Confucian Philosophy, and in writing articles promoting a conversation between American pragmatism and Confucianism.Sponsored by: Asian Studies Program; Historical Studies Program; Philosophy Program; Religion Program.

How Cheap Solar + Storage + AEVs Will Solve Climate Change by 2030
A Conversation with Tony Seba and Hunter Lovins
Depressed about global warming? Do not miss this evening with Silicon Valley entrepreneur Tony Seba and sustainable business pioneer Hunter Lovins. Seba (joining via the web) will discuss his work on clean energy disruptions. He argues that for fundamental economic reasons, inevitably, by 2030 the world’s electric power will be produced 100 percent by solar + storage, 100 percent of new vehicle production will be electric, and in the United States, 95 percent of passenger miles traveled will be through driverless EVs. While this solves the energy side of climate change, as Lovins has noted, it would also mean a radical reshaping of the global economic system. Join us for what will be an exciting conversation.

The Bard International Network and affiliated institutions will gather student leaders for a five-day conference at Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, from March 15 to 22, 2019. The conference is designed for students actively engaged in community-based work (on and off campus)—including community projects or organizing, activism, journalism, Model UN, debate, socially based internships, government work, or campus leadership—or who are in the early stages of launching a project.
The conference is not a traditional academic conference: it is a venue to build a network of young social entrepreneurs and change agents to encourage future collaborations and exchange of ideas. Participants will explore best practices, generate ideas, participate in leadership trainings, and network with other student leaders.
Applications are due November 30, 2018.Sponsored by: Center for Civic Engagement.

Hegeman 107
Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions in the universe. We know today that many come from the violent deaths of massive stars, and others from the collision of two neutron stars. However, just five decades ago their origins were a confounding mystery. I will present an overview of how gamma-ray bursts, which began as a government secret, have evolved into one of our most valuable tools for studying the cosmos. This story is still unfolding, having in the past two years coalesced with another—that of the first detections of gravitational waves, made possible by the LIGO and Virgo facilities. These discoveries have initiated a shift to “multimessenger astronomy,” which means that astronomers are beginning to observe cosmic events like gamma-ray bursts with telescopes, while at the same time “listening” to their space-time vibrations.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

If Only I Were That Warrior
Monday, March 25, 2019
Campus Center, Weis Cinema
If Only I Were That Warrior (2015) is a feature documentary film focusing on the Italian occupation of Ethiopia in 1935. Following the recent construction of a monument dedicated to Fascist general Rodolfo Graziani, the film addresses the unpunished war crimes he and others committed in the name of Mussolini's imperial ambitions. The stories of three characters, filmed in present-day Ethiopia, Italy, and the United States, take the audience on a journey through the living memories and the tangible remains of the Italian occupation of Ethiopia—a journey that crosses generations and continents to today, where this often overlooked legacy still ties the fates of two nations and their people.
The film screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers, Valerio Ciriaci and Isaak Liptzin, and Bard faculty member Dinaw Mengestu.Sponsored by: Africana Studies Program; American Studies Program; Italian Studies Program; Literature Program.

After providing a brief outline of my approach to treatment development, I will review my ongoing work on the identification of mechanisms that are relevant to sexual health, particularly in women. Treatment development requires a nuanced understanding of the factors that drive change. Focusing specifically on heart rate variability and sexual self-schemas, I will discuss the development of innovative psychosocial treatments that intervene on those mechanisms. I will review examples to illustrate the transition from laboratory-based experiments that test putative mechanisms to clinical trials that aim to engage mechanisms and produce clinically meaningful change. As I will clarify in the presentation, the findings of these studies not only highlight the promise of these treatments with respect to sexual health but also validate the usefulness of a mechanism-driven approach to intervention development. I will conclude my talk by highlighting my interest in building and adapting interventions for women who are at the greatest risk for poor sexual health. Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Social media and the internet have changed dramatically the field of global cultural studies in the last decades. This presentation will highlight the global diffusion of Latin American popular culture, specifically Argentine tango, and the connections that it has fostered among international activists and dancers who are using it to bring about campaigns for social justice. The presentation will underscore the efforts of a global network that has used the dance to protest, champion, or publicize creatively various causes, including social justice for LGBTQ communities, the use of urban public space, the growing global surveillance culture, elder abuse, the rights of people with disabilities, the rarely persecuted murders of trans individuals, and religious intolerance. The presentation, direct from Buenos Aires, will underscore the circulation, production, and consumption of global cultural manifestations online (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) that are related to this global subculture, using as a point of departure theories related to participatory culture on the internet.
Presented in conjunction with the Engaged Liberal Arts and Sciences course Exploring Human Connections through Argentine Tango.

In her usual provocative manner, Julia Trubikhina (Hunter College) discusses Nabokov’s involvement in 1959–60 in the “cinemizing” of his famous novel Lolita. The result of Nabokov's collaboration with the director Stanley Kubrick was Kubrick’s acclaimed motion picture Lolita (1962) based on Nabokov’s original screenplay, of which very little remained in the film. Using Nabokov’s “tug of war” for “authorship” of the future movie (the correspondence between Nabokov and Kubrick, before and while Nabokov was working on the screenplay) as a springboard, Dr. Trubikhina explores film adaptation as a process of translation between media. The familiar questions that lie at the heart of any discussion of translation apply here in equal measure: Is the translation (the film adaptation) faithful? If it is, then to what? What of the original is translatable /adaptable? What is not and why? The speaker also compares Kubrick’s Lolita to Adrian Lyne’s film adaptation of 1997 and talks of what has changed today, in the #METOO era, as we are looking at texts to which sexual abuse of a child is so central.Sponsored by: Russian/Eurasian Studies Program.

The Words We Live By: Poetry and Philosophy in Conversation
Sponsored by the Poetry Foundation, Literature Program, Written Arts Program, Africana Studies Program, and the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College
The Hannah Arendt Poetry and Philosophy Address invites a poet and a philosopher to engage in conversation about the place of poetry in a world increasingly defined by political and social strife, disorientation, and loneliness. Hannah Arendt has written that “the storehouse of memory is kept and watched over by the poets, whose business it is to find and make the words we live by.” For Arendt, poetry was what remained after the war, as a record of experience that could provide a sense of durability in the world, and as a form of thinking that could orient us away from the tyranny of ideology. Throughout her career the language of poetry remained at the heart of her political writing, and it is in this spirit that we invite a poet and a philosopher to talk together about the enduring and urgent significance of poetry in the world today.

Numerous artworks from medieval Germany ground the salvific power of Christ’s Cross not in its carpentered cruciform but rather in its apocryphal material origins in the Tree of Paradise. Long before the True Cross relic arrived in Nuremburg in 1424, areas across the Holy Roman Empire already possessed their own idiosyncratic writings, visual culture, and traditions that paid special tribute to the Legend of the Wood of the Cross. Born of a sprig from Paradise that an angel delivers to Adam’s son Seth on earth, the tree that ultimately yielded the wood used for Christ’s cross inspired new terms with which religious writers and artists expressed the apparent paradox of divinity in nature. Localizing many of the Legend’s episodes and themes, including the marvelous finding of trees native to Germany and Flanders and the intractability of their wood, a group of miracle-working crucifixes—and the accompanying texts that record their ancestries—bear witness to the desire to direct to more stable channels the enthusiasm for sculpture made from the wood of trees, which was becoming ever more popular at the very same moment.Sponsored by: Art History Program; Medieval Studies Program.

In the past year, the United States has seen an enormous surge in labor organizing, striking, and union building. From the West Virginia teachers strikes to the government shutdown-induced TSA action to the New York counter-Amazon protests, labor events have made the news more in the last months than in a long time. What can the U.S. labor movement learn from France’s rich history of strong union tradition and labor organizing? Come learn about global fights for workers’ rights from our panelists, Professor Kevin Duong, SEIU Local 200 United organizer Sean Collins, and activist hospitality worker from Unite Here Local 217 Sebastian Glover. There will be a moderated discussion of basic labor history and current labor events and practices, followed by a Q and A. Food will be served.

Vance Center for International Justice, 44 West 44 Street, New York, NY 10036
Al-Quds Bard dean Daniel Terris will discuss his new book, The Trials of Richard Goldstone, in conversation with South African journalist Redi Tlhabi. This event, which is part of BGIA's James Clarke Chace Memorial Speaker Series, is cosponsored and hosted by the Vance Center for International Justice, and is supported by Foreign Affairs magazine. It is free and open to the public by RSVP.
In June 2009, Richard Goldstone was a global hero, honored by the MacArthur Foundation for its prize in international justice. Four months later, he was called a “quisling” and compared to some of the worst traitors in human history. Why? Because this champion of human rights and international law chose to apply his commitment to fairness and truth to his own community.
The Trials of Richard Goldstone tells the story of this extraordinary individual and the price he paid for his convictions. It describes how Goldstone, working as a judge in apartheid South Africa, helped to undermine this unjust system and later, at Nelson Mandela’s request, led a commission that investigated cases of racial violence and intimidation. It also considers the international renown he received as the chief United Nations prosecutor for war crimes committed in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, the first tribunals to try political and military leaders on charges of genocide. Finally, it explores how Goldstone became a controversial figure in the wake of the Jewish jurist’s powerful, but flawed, investigation of Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza.

Technics of Space: Caricature and Empire on Hogan’s Alley
Joshua Kopin '12
PhD Candidate, The University of Texas at Austin
Monday, March 4, 2019
5–6:30 pm
Olin, Room 102Part of a larger dissertation project, this talk makes a connection between the subjects of early comics, which often included immigrants and their children, like the Irish-American Yellow Kid; and political cartoons about immigration and American imperialism from the periods of the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Spanish-American War. Drawing on his long-established connection to yellow journalism and noting that, while explicitly Irish, the Yellow Kid is drawn in the visual idiom of anti-Chinese caricature, this talk posits that caricature is a technology of empire and inclusion that, through ideas about immigrants and expansionism that were often clothed in metaphors of childhood, served to differentiate acceptable, if unruly, white citizen subjects from imperial others.

Deo Niyizonkiza: Courage to Be College Seminar Dinner and Lecture Series
Coming to Courage
Monday, March 4, 2019
6–8 pm
Blithewood, Levy InstituteAs told in the best-selling Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder, Deo’s "coming to courage" was motivated by his challenging childhood in rural Burundi and by the desperation and the atrocities of what he saw around him. It was as if he had no choice in the matter. Quite literally, he had to have "courage to be" to exist at all. Courage to escape (the courage of his friendly accomplices along the way) and courage to land in one of the biggest cities in the world with no common language or resources other than his own bravery. And then, in meeting three extraordinary New Yorkers, Deo experienced acts of extreme kindness which were at the same time acts of great courage. Thus began his new American community, which grew to include Columbia, Harvard, PIH, and Dartmouth. Deo’s return to his destroyed native Burundi was to help bring decency, where it had been lost, through quality healthcare and education based on critical thinking. This itself was an act of courage that begat – and ultimately relied on – the courage of others. Turning swords and guns into shovels and ploughs, clearing land, making bricks, laying roads, is where the community again enlarged: their “courage to be” was the courage to defy recent history and build something out of the wreckage. This community continues to this day in the design and the destiny of Village Health Works (VHW), a community of courageous souls with courageous ambition to be healthy and educated and hopeful – and pass that on for generations to come. Courage is VHW's birthright. Otherwise we would not be building a major teaching hospital – or an academy and teacher learning institute – on a rural mountaintop in one of the hungriest and poorest places on the planet.
BIO
Deogratias “Deo” Niyizonkiza, Village Health Works’ (VHW) visionary founder and CEO, is a leading advocate for the most impoverished people in the world. His compassion, expertise, and life experience have made him a key voice in global health and international development. An American citizen, Niyizonkiza was born in rural Burundi, where he attended grade school and part of medical school and left the country during the catastrophic war that lasted more than a decade and took the lives of hundreds of thousands people. He survived not only this man-made tragedy and poverty but also homelessness in New York City.Niyizonkiza's life journey is told in Pulitzer Prize–winner Tracy Kidder’s book Strength in What Remains, a New York Times best seller named one of the best books of the year by Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune.
Despite the hurdles—homelessness, illness, and low-paying work as a grocery store delivery boy—Niyizonkiza eventually enrolled at Columbia University, where he received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and philosophy. After graduating from Columbia, he attended the Harvard School of Public Health, where he met Dr. Paul Farmer and began working at the medical nonprofit organization Partners In Health. He left Partners In Health to continue his medical education at Dartmouth Medical School.
In 2005, with his unwavering conviction that humanity’s progress should be in how we value and honor the dignity of others, including those a world away, Niyizonkiza traveled back to Burundi to establish Village Health Works with the goal of removing barriers to human dignity and progress by creating a healthcare system model in Kigutu, a remote village of Burundi, an East African country and one of the poorest on the planet. His passion galvanized his native community of Kigutu into action. Thanks to community-donated land, a small amount of seed money from American fellow students and supporters, a community of compassionate volunteers, and Niyizonkiza’s leadership, the health center opened in December 2007. Niyizonkiza’s success in building an entirely community-driven health and development organization is unprecedented, and makes Village Health Works unique among NGOs.
A frequent lecturer on global health, Niyizonkiza is the recipient of numerous awards, including an honor by the Carnegie Foundation of New York as the 2016 Great Immigrant: The Pride of America, the 2016 Presidential Medal: Amities des Peuples (Burundi), the 2014 Dalai Lama’s Unsung Heroes Award, the 2014 Wheaton College Otis Social Justice Award, the 2013 People to People International’s Eisenhower Medallion Award, a 2013 honorary degree from Williams College, the 2011 International Medal Award of St. John’s University, and the 2010 Women’s Refugee Commission Voices of Courage Award.

She is one of the few singers to lead her own Blue Note album (1962).

Kant's Critique of Sympathy
Wiebke Deimling
Clark University
Tuesday, March 5, 2019
4:45–6:15 pm
Olin, Room 102How does Kant evaluate sympathy? Does he take it to be supportive of morality or does he view it as an obstacle for moral action? Sympathetic feelings generally have a good reputation. We praise those who show them and we call for them as a solution to moral problems. The recent debate about moral emotions both in philosophy and psychology has introduced some push-back against a positive evaluation of sympathy. This paper shows that Kant, like the contemporary critics of sympathetic feelings and like many of his colleagues in the 18th century, shares the view that sympathy is a problematic emotion. We have gained a much better understanding of Kant’s moral philosophy through recent scholarship showing that moral emotions, and sympathy in particular, can and do play a role in his deontological framework. But disregarding Kant’s criticisms of moral emotions also leaves us with a lacking interpretation. Kant’s moral psychology of sympathy is more complex than has been appreciated. And it makes more interesting and more plausible recommendations about how we should respond to sympathetic feeling.Sponsored by: Philosophy Program.

Campus Center, Gallery“The topic of the border wall between the United States and Mexico continues to be broadly and hotly debated: on national news media, by local and state governments, and even in coffee shops and over the dinner table. By now, broad segments of the population have heard widely varying opinions about the wall’s effect on illegal immigration, international politics, and the drug war. But what about the wall’s effect on the Sonoran pronghorn antelope herds and the kit fox? On the Mexican gray wolf, the ocelot, the jaguar, and the bighorn sheep? In unforgettable images and evocative text, Continental Divide: Wildlife, People, and the Border Wall shows us what’s at stake.” — Krista SchlyerSponsored by: Bard Center for Environmental Policy; Human Rights Project; La Voz; Photography Program.

The cantata is divided into four sections: Confession, Sin, Death and Spring.

War of Words: Diplomatic Exchange and Court Literature in Early Medieval China
Lu Kou 寇陸, Visiting Assistant Professor of Chinese, Department of Asian Studies, Williams College
Monday, March 11, 2019
5–6 pm
Olin, Room 102In early medieval China, also known as the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420–589 CE), the territories once unified under the Han Empire (206 BCE–220 CE) were fragmented and in turmoil. Several dynastic states coexisted uneasily, competing not only militarily but also for cultural prestige and legitimacy. In diplomatic exchanges between rival courts, envoys and courtiers waged a kind of “cultural warfare,” employing a range of rhetorical strategies to assert the political authority and cultural superiority of their respective states.
Previous scholars have framed the Northern and Southern Dynasties as cultural dichotomous, with crude and simple non-Chinese in the North and culturally sophisticated “Han” Chinese in the South. This dichotomy is also couched in gendered terms, with northern culture presented as virile and masculine and its southern counterpart as sensual and feminine. My research finds this framework reductive and misleading and reveals a much more complicated dynamic between the northern and southern cultures. By examining diplomatic writings, letters, anecdotes, and other literary sources from both the North and the South, I show how court centers manipulated a shared cultural legacy to engage in diplomatic negotiation and how, based on this shared cultural repertoire, they also fashioned identities and strove to claim a mantle of political and cultural legitimacy through various forms of discursive practices.

What Poetry Does in Contemporary Japan: Translating, Publishing, and Writing between Languages
Dr. Jordan Smith, Josai International University
Tuesday, March 12, 2019
5–6:30 pm
Olin, Room 205Japanese poetry is often associated with traditional verse (haiku, tanka) and Zen Buddhism. Japan today is understood in vastly different ways—famed as much for the sophisticated metropolitan capital and anime as it is for its traditional and natural beauty. The “translationscape” of Japanese poetry reveals massive gaps between the texts and authors that reach Western languages and the vivacious, roiling, even overwhelming world of Japanese poetry today. Contemporary poetry, in its many (and competing) forms, plays a vital role of resistance in a nation where discourses of economic stagnation threaten to define an era. Poetry practitioners treat their arts (writing and performing) with reverence while fully utilizing all arts and media available. Drawing on his experience editing the Tokyo Poetry Journal, building bridges between anglophone and Japanese poetry worlds, writing bilingual poetry, and translating luminaries in the making, Prof. Smith’s talk blends ethnography of the contemporary world of Japanese poetry with readings of poems by the current cutting edges—tracing their jagged contours and trajectories into and outside of various spaces of poetry.
Jordan A. Y. Smith writes poetry and comic theater and has translated poetry by Yoshimasu Gozo (for Poetry Review, Tokyo Poetry Journal), Mizuta Noriko (The Road Home 2015; Sea of Blue Algae, 2016), Nomura Kiwao, Misumi Mizuki, Fuzuki Yumi, and Usami Kohji, and prose fiction from Alberto Fuguet and Fernando Iwasaki. He is currently an associate professor in international humanities at Josai International University, and has previously taught comparative literature, Japanese studies, literary translation, and English at California State University Long Beach, UCLA, Roger Williams University, UC Riverside, Pepperdine University, and Korea University.Sponsored by: Asian Studies Program; Translation and Translatability Initiative.

Julia Pastrana’s Long Journey Home
Tuesday, March 12, 2019
6:30–7:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaMexican artist Laura Anderson Barbata will discuss her decade-long journey to repatriate the remains of Julia Pastrana (1834–1860) to Mexico. Born in Sinaloa, Pastrana was a gifted singer and dancer who had an unusually pronounced jaw and thick hair throughout her face and body. During her lifetime, her husband-manager paraded her throughout Europe and the United States, and her embalmed body continued to be exhibited in Europe for more than a century after her death. In 2013 Anderson Barbata succeeded in having Pastrana’s body repatriated to Mexico. In her presentation, the artist will discuss her incentive to bring back Pastrana’s body to her homeland, issues related to race and science, the fascination and exploitation of socalled “others,” indigenous rights, memory, and the importance of cultural sensitivity.
Born in Mexico City, Laura Anderson Barbata is a transdisciplinary artist currently based in Brooklyn and Mexico City. Since 1992 she has worked primarily in the social realm, and has initiated projects in the Venezuelan Amazon, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Norway, and the United States. Barbata is a recipient of the Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporaneo and Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center artist in residence for Latin American artists 2019; the Anonymous Was a Woman 2016 Award; Defense of Human Rights Award 2017, Instituto de Administración Pública de Tabasco, México; an Honorary Fellow of LACIS (the Latin American, Caribbean, and Iberian Studies Program), University of Wisconsin, Madison; and a Fellow of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary TBA21 The Current.

Confucian Role Ethics: A Challenge to the Ideology of Individualism
Roger T. Ames
Peking University
Berggruen Research Center
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
3–4:30 pm
Olin, Room 205In the introduction of Chinese philosophy and culture into the Western academy, we have tended to theorize and conceptualize this antique tradition by appeal to familiar categories. Confucian role ethics is an attempt to articulate a sui generis moral philosophy that allows this tradition to have its own voice. This holistic philosophy is grounded in the primacy of relationality, and is a challenge to a foundational liberal individualism that has defined persons as discrete, autonomous, rational, free, and often self-interested agents. Confucian role ethics begins from a relationally constituted conception of person, takes family roles and relations as the entry point for developing moral competence, invokes moral imagination and the growth in relations that it can inspire as the substance of human morality, and entails a human-centered, a-theistic religiousness that stands in sharp contrast to the Abrahamic religions.
Roger T. Ames is humanities chair professor at Peking University, cochair of the academic advisory committee of the Peking University Berggruen Research Center, and professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Hawai’i. He is former editor of Philosophy East and West and founding editor of China Review International. Ames has authored several interpretative studies of Chinese philosophy and culture: Thinking Through Confucius (1987), Anticipating China (1995), Thinking from the Han (1998), and Democracy of the Dead (1999) (all with D. L. Hall); Confucian Role Ethics: A Vocabulary (2011); and, most recently, “Human Becomings: Theorizing ‘Persons’ for Confucian Role Ethics” (forthcoming). His publications also include translations of Chinese classics: Sun-tzu: The Art of Warfare (1993); Sun Pin: The Art of Warfare (1996) (with D. C. Lau); the Confucian Analects (1998) and the Classic of Family Reverence: The “Xiaojing” (2009) (both with H. Rosemont), Focusing the Familiar: The “Zhongyong” (2001), and The “Daodejing” (with D. L. Hall) (2003). Almost all of his publications are now available in Chinese translation, including his philosophical translations of Chinese canonical texts.

How to Solve Climate Change by 2030: Tony Seba on Clean Energy Disruption

How Cheap Solar + Storage + AEVs Will Solve Climate Change by 2030
A Conversation with Tony Seba and Hunter Lovins
Depressed about global warming? Do not miss this evening with Silicon Valley entrepreneur Tony Seba and sustainable business pioneer Hunter Lovins. Seba (joining via the web) will discuss his work on clean energy disruptions. He argues that for fundamental economic reasons, inevitably, by 2030 the world’s electric power will be produced 100 percent by solar + storage, 100 percent of new vehicle production will be electric, and in the United States, 95 percent of passenger miles traveled will be through driverless EVs. While this solves the energy side of climate change, as Lovins has noted, it would also mean a radical reshaping of the global economic system. Join us for what will be an exciting conversation.

Get Engaged 2019: Student Action and Youth Leadership Conference
Civic Engagement, Social Entrepreneurship, and the Liberal Arts
Friday, March 15, 2019 – Friday, March 22, 2019
Central European University in Budapest, HungaryThe Bard International Network and affiliated institutions will gather student leaders for a five-day conference at Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, from March 15 to 22, 2019. The conference is designed for students actively engaged in community-based work (on and off campus)—including community projects or organizing, activism, journalism, Model UN, debate, socially based internships, government work, or campus leadership—or who are in the early stages of launching a project.
The conference is not a traditional academic conference: it is a venue to build a network of young social entrepreneurs and change agents to encourage future collaborations and exchange of ideas. Participants will explore best practices, generate ideas, participate in leadership trainings, and network with other student leaders.
Applications are due November 30, 2018.Sponsored by: Center for Civic Engagement.

A Tale of Two Neutron Stars: From Gamma-ray Bursts to Gravitational Waves
Jonathan Zrake, Columbia University
Friday, March 15, 2019
12–1 pm
Hegeman 107Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions in the universe. We know today that many come from the violent deaths of massive stars, and others from the collision of two neutron stars. However, just five decades ago their origins were a confounding mystery. I will present an overview of how gamma-ray bursts, which began as a government secret, have evolved into one of our most valuable tools for studying the cosmos. This story is still unfolding, having in the past two years coalesced with another—that of the first detections of gravitational waves, made possible by the LIGO and Virgo facilities. These discoveries have initiated a shift to “multimessenger astronomy,” which means that astronomers are beginning to observe cosmic events like gamma-ray bursts with telescopes, while at the same time “listening” to their space-time vibrations.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

His lecture will present a number of past and ongoing endeavors—ranging from scholarship in the history of architecture to exhibitions and design proposals—with a focus on the architectures of housing and the spaces of residence characteristic of a time defined by mobility and transit. He will discuss how architecture mediates processes of dissolution, fragmentation, and disembedding of social relations, as well as the search for different forms of binding, stabilization, and belonging.

If Only I Were That Warrior
Film screening and roundtable discussion
Monday, March 25, 2019
6–8 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaIf Only I Were That Warrior (2015) is a feature documentary film focusing on the Italian occupation of Ethiopia in 1935. Following the recent construction of a monument dedicated to Fascist general Rodolfo Graziani, the film addresses the unpunished war crimes he and others committed in the name of Mussolini's imperial ambitions. The stories of three characters, filmed in present-day Ethiopia, Italy, and the United States, take the audience on a journey through the living memories and the tangible remains of the Italian occupation of Ethiopia—a journey that crosses generations and continents to today, where this often overlooked legacy still ties the fates of two nations and their people.
The film screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers, Valerio Ciriaci and Isaak Liptzin, and Bard faculty member Dinaw Mengestu.Sponsored by: Africana Studies Program; American Studies Program; Italian Studies Program; Literature Program.

Promoting Sexual Health: Mechanisms and Interventions
Amelia Stanton, University of Texas
Tuesday, March 26, 2019
4:45–6 pm
Preston TheaterAfter providing a brief outline of my approach to treatment development, I will review my ongoing work on the identification of mechanisms that are relevant to sexual health, particularly in women. Treatment development requires a nuanced understanding of the factors that drive change. Focusing specifically on heart rate variability and sexual self-schemas, I will discuss the development of innovative psychosocial treatments that intervene on those mechanisms. I will review examples to illustrate the transition from laboratory-based experiments that test putative mechanisms to clinical trials that aim to engage mechanisms and produce clinically meaningful change. As I will clarify in the presentation, the findings of these studies not only highlight the promise of these treatments with respect to sexual health but also validate the usefulness of a mechanism-driven approach to intervention development. I will conclude my talk by highlighting my interest in building and adapting interventions for women who are at the greatest risk for poor sexual health. Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Latin American Popular Culture and Social Justice: Argentine Tango, Art, and Activism, from Istanbul to Buenos Aires
Dr. Melissa Fitch, Distinguished Professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Arizona
Tuesday, March 26, 2019
5–6:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaSocial media and the internet have changed dramatically the field of global cultural studies in the last decades. This presentation will highlight the global diffusion of Latin American popular culture, specifically Argentine tango, and the connections that it has fostered among international activists and dancers who are using it to bring about campaigns for social justice. The presentation will underscore the efforts of a global network that has used the dance to protest, champion, or publicize creatively various causes, including social justice for LGBTQ communities, the use of urban public space, the growing global surveillance culture, elder abuse, the rights of people with disabilities, the rarely persecuted murders of trans individuals, and religious intolerance. The presentation, direct from Buenos Aires, will underscore the circulation, production, and consumption of global cultural manifestations online (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) that are related to this global subculture, using as a point of departure theories related to participatory culture on the internet.
Presented in conjunction with the Engaged Liberal Arts and Sciences course Exploring Human Connections through Argentine Tango.
Melissa A. Fitch (PhD 1995) holds the rank of University Distinguished Professor at the University of Arizona. She is a second-generation Mexican-American who was born in Los Angeles and raised in the city of San Francisco. Her research is focused on global popular culture, digital culture, social media, and critical theory, particularly within the regions of Asia and Latin America. She is author of Global Tangos: Travels in the Transnational Imaginary (Bucknell UP, 2015) and Side Dishes: Latin/a American Women, Sex and Cultural Production (Rutgers UP, 2009), and coauthor of Culture and Customs of Argentina (Greenwood Press, 1998). Since 2002 she has been editor in chief of the academic journal Studies in Latin American Popular Culture (University of Texas Press). At UA, in additional to serving as a senior scholar in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Dr. Fitch is a member of the executive board of the Global Studies Program and also serves as an adjunct faculty member in the Roshan Graduate Interdisciplinary Program in Iranian Studies as well as the Center for Latin American Studies.

“Cinemizing” Fiction: Nabokov’s Lolita, Kubrick’s Lolita
Julia Trubikhina, Hunter College
Tuesday, March 26, 2019
5:30–7 pm
RKC 103In her usual provocative manner, Julia Trubikhina (Hunter College) discusses Nabokov’s involvement in 1959–60 in the “cinemizing” of his famous novel Lolita. The result of Nabokov's collaboration with the director Stanley Kubrick was Kubrick’s acclaimed motion picture Lolita (1962) based on Nabokov’s original screenplay, of which very little remained in the film. Using Nabokov’s “tug of war” for “authorship” of the future movie (the correspondence between Nabokov and Kubrick, before and while Nabokov was working on the screenplay) as a springboard, Dr. Trubikhina explores film adaptation as a process of translation between media. The familiar questions that lie at the heart of any discussion of translation apply here in equal measure: Is the translation (the film adaptation) faithful? If it is, then to what? What of the original is translatable /adaptable? What is not and why? The speaker also compares Kubrick’s Lolita to Adrian Lyne’s film adaptation of 1997 and talks of what has changed today, in the #METOO era, as we are looking at texts to which sexual abuse of a child is so central.Sponsored by: Russian/Eurasian Studies Program.

The Words We Live By: Poetry and Philosophy in Conversation

6–8 pm
The Sanctuary at Murray's, TivoliThe Words We Live By: Poetry and Philosophy in Conversation
Sponsored by the Poetry Foundation, Literature Program, Written Arts Program, Africana Studies Program, and the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College
The Hannah Arendt Poetry and Philosophy Address invites a poet and a philosopher to engage in conversation about the place of poetry in a world increasingly defined by political and social strife, disorientation, and loneliness. Hannah Arendt has written that “the storehouse of memory is kept and watched over by the poets, whose business it is to find and make the words we live by.” For Arendt, poetry was what remained after the war, as a record of experience that could provide a sense of durability in the world, and as a form of thinking that could orient us away from the tyranny of ideology. Throughout her career the language of poetry remained at the heart of her political writing, and it is in this spirit that we invite a poet and a philosopher to talk together about the enduring and urgent significance of poetry in the world today.

The Tree of the Cross
Gregory Bryda
Assistant Professor, Art History,
Barnard College, Columbia University
Thursday, March 28, 2019
5–6 pm
Olin, Room 102Numerous artworks from medieval Germany ground the salvific power of Christ’s Cross not in its carpentered cruciform but rather in its apocryphal material origins in the Tree of Paradise. Long before the True Cross relic arrived in Nuremburg in 1424, areas across the Holy Roman Empire already possessed their own idiosyncratic writings, visual culture, and traditions that paid special tribute to the Legend of the Wood of the Cross. Born of a sprig from Paradise that an angel delivers to Adam’s son Seth on earth, the tree that ultimately yielded the wood used for Christ’s cross inspired new terms with which religious writers and artists expressed the apparent paradox of divinity in nature. Localizing many of the Legend’s episodes and themes, including the marvelous finding of trees native to Germany and Flanders and the intractability of their wood, a group of miracle-working crucifixes—and the accompanying texts that record their ancestries—bear witness to the desire to direct to more stable channels the enthusiasm for sculpture made from the wood of trees, which was becoming ever more popular at the very same moment.Sponsored by: Art History Program; Medieval Studies Program.

The Trials of Richard Goldstone: A Book Talk with Daniel Terris
A James Clarke Chace Memorial Speaker Series Event
Thursday, March 28, 2019
6:30–8:30 pm
Vance Center for International Justice, 44 West 44 Street, New York, NY 10036Al-Quds Bard dean Daniel Terris will discuss his new book, The Trials of Richard Goldstone, in conversation with South African journalist Redi Tlhabi. This event, which is part of BGIA's James Clarke Chace Memorial Speaker Series, is cosponsored and hosted by the Vance Center for International Justice, and is supported by Foreign Affairs magazine. It is free and open to the public by RSVP.
In June 2009, Richard Goldstone was a global hero, honored by the MacArthur Foundation for its prize in international justice. Four months later, he was called a “quisling” and compared to some of the worst traitors in human history. Why? Because this champion of human rights and international law chose to apply his commitment to fairness and truth to his own community.
The Trials of Richard Goldstone tells the story of this extraordinary individual and the price he paid for his convictions. It describes how Goldstone, working as a judge in apartheid South Africa, helped to undermine this unjust system and later, at Nelson Mandela’s request, led a commission that investigated cases of racial violence and intimidation. It also considers the international renown he received as the chief United Nations prosecutor for war crimes committed in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, the first tribunals to try political and military leaders on charges of genocide. Finally, it explores how Goldstone became a controversial figure in the wake of the Jewish jurist’s powerful, but flawed, investigation of Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
