A Conversation with Giannina Braschi: Writing Beyond Dystopia
Monday, November 3, 2025 1:30 pm
Online Event Join us for an event featuring Giannina Braschi—poet, novelist, essayist, and pioneer of Spanglish in literature. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Braschi. In an age saturated by dystopian narratives that often reinforce the status quo, Braschi’s hybrid and radical work in Spanish, English, and Spanglish opens up new ways of thinking about identity, power, and the future. Her groundbreaking contributions have been widely recognized with numerous awards, and she is celebrated as one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latinx literature.
This dialogue is part of the A Cartography for the Future online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it.) From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.
Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies, and LAIS. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community. To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected]
Sponsored by: Spanish Studies, LAIS, and Experimental Humanities.

Griffith’s 1915 film “The Birth of a Nation” framed by a selection of works that explore topics ranging from settler colonialism in the Americas, to the legacies of transatlantic slavery, to modern movements for liberation in Africa and Europe. Douglas’ deeply researched and longtime commitment to these histories provide an expansive view of the present, one that sheds light on moments of breakdown and chaos that attend societies in upheaval.

Arendt Center Irene’s research explores the ethical reflection that Hannah Arendt began to develop after the Eichmann trial and that culminates in Arendt’s last unfinished masterpiece, The Life of the Mind.
Of particular interest to her is the first chapter of the section dedicated to the activity of thinking. In that context, Arendt focuses on several key concepts—such as that of appearance—drawing on new authors, including figures from the realm of biological studies. Among these, the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the zoologist Adolf Portmann are especially significant.
In this presentation, Irene seeks to connect Arendt’s conception of thinking as an activity inextricably rooted in the sensible world with several key questions—also emerging from earlier passages in Arendt’s works—concerning the possibility of inhabiting the world in a truly human and ethical way.

The Keith Haring Lecture in Art and Activism: Valentina Rozas-Krause
Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism, 2024–25
Thursday, November 6, 2025 5–7 pm
CCS Bard, Classroom 102 Feminimonuments: Feminist Transformations of ‘Difficult Monuments’ during the recent Chilean Social Upheaval
Only 4.7% of Santiago’s monuments represent women, a grim statistic that is echoed in cities around the world. Yet in the heat of the chilean social upheaval (2019-20), protesters and women’s groups took the problem of female representation into their own hands. Guided by an intersectional lens, this presentation analyzes monuments of ‘difficult heritage’ in two Chilean cities, Santiago and Valparaíso, to understand how they were transformed physically and symbolically into sites of feminist solidarity. The stakes are high, together these monuments speak about European colonization, the nation-state, the ongoing conflict with indigenous populations, past and present violence against women, as well as the oversight of feminine historical agency. Each case represents a typology of monument-appropriation, and its analysis will help to unravel a counter-archive of possibilities for female representation in public space.
The Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism is made possible through a grant from the Keith Haring Foundation. The Keith Haring Chair is a cross-disciplinary, annual, visiting faculty appointment for a scholar, activist, or artist to teach and conduct research at both the Center for Curatorial Studies and the Human Rights Project at Bard College. The Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism was established to allow a distinguished leader in the field to investigate the role of art as a catalyst for social change, linking the two programs and presenting original research in an annual lecture.

Online Event We're reading On Revolution. Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape. On Revolution is her classic exploration of a phenomenon that has reshaped the globe. From the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France to the explosive changes of the twentieth century, Arendt traces the changing face of revolution and its relationship to war while underscoring the crucial role such events will play in the future. Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.

Hessel Museum of Art Stan Douglas: Ghostlight will be the artist’s first survey in the U.S. in over 20 years and will chart his global influence and innovation across 40 works from the 1990s to the present. The exhibition will present the North American premiere of an immersive, multi-channel video installation that revisits D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film “The Birth of a Nation” framed by a selection of works that explore topics ranging from settler colonialism in the Americas, to the legacies of transatlantic slavery, to modern movements for liberation in Africa and Europe. Douglas’ deeply researched and longtime commitment to these histories provide an expansive view of the present, one that sheds light on moments of breakdown and chaos that attend societies in upheaval.

Memory Policies or Political Memory? The De-Ottomanization of History in Communist Albania
Gianfranco Bria, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow (MSCA) and Assistant Professor at Roma Tre University
Monday, November 10, 2025 3:30 pm
Olin Language Center, Room 115 This talk examines how communist Albania’s anti-religious propaganda reconfigured national memory to legitimize the regime’s secular ideology. By portraying Islam as a remnant of the Ottoman “dark past,” the state sought to erase Islamic references from Albanian identity through education, historiography, and cultural policies. The talk shows how this process of de-Islamization functioned as a broader strategy to construct a socialist “new man” devoted to science and the nation.

Literature Salon: On Cunning, or, Art and Craft in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra
Adhaar Noor Desai, Associate Professor of Literature, Bard College
Monday, November 10, 2025 5–6 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 204 This presentation draws on a chapter-in-progress from Professor Desai's next book project, tentatively titled How Shakespeare Judged His Art: Lofty, Stately, Cunning, Rare, Fair. An attempt to reconstruct how writers in early modern England approached literary craft, the book focuses on some of the terms Shakespeare and his contemporaries used when appraising their work. "Cunning"— a term affiliated with domains as distant as courtly poetry, military strategy, and racially suspect "gypsies"—appears in Antony and Cleopatra to demonstrate how elitism and racecraft operate by playing fast and loose with the proximity between skill and deceit, technique and trickery. An excerpt of this chapter draft will be circulated beforehand, and the presentation will include ample time for questions and for discussing research methods, the writing process, and the practical challenges of starting a new project.

Antijudaism and Antisemitism in European Philosophy
with Joseph Cohen
Monday, November 10, 2025 6–8 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 205 From Kant to Heidegger, many of Europe’s most influential philosophers have engaged—sometimes critically, sometimes prejudicially—with the figure of “the Jew” and the central ideas of Judaism. This seminar explores how concepts such as election, messianism, revelation, and the Law have been interpreted, and often distorted, in the philosophical tradition. We will examine the distinction between antijudaism (opposition to Jewish religion or thought) and antisemitism (hostility toward Jews as a people), while also tracing their deep historical and conceptual connections. Through close readings of key thinkers (including Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, and Heidegger), we will see how these ideas were not mere products of prejudice, but at times formed a structural part of philosophical systems—casting “the Jew” as a necessary counterpoint to philosophy itself. We will ask: In what sense has the trope of the Jew as a “counter-essential enemy” to philosophical thinking been seen as necessary for the very unfolding of European philosophical history?
--------------------------
JOSEPH COHEN is Professor of Philosophy at University College Dublin (Ireland) since 2007. He has held numerous visiting professorships of philosophy at various European universities in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Belgium.

He is the Founder and Lead Project Investigator of “Jewish Thought and Contemporary Philosophy” housed at the Newman Centre for the Study of Religions, University College Dublin and co-founding member of the Irish Phenomenological Circle. Joseph Cohen has also published extensively on German Idealism (Kant, Hegel, Schelling), Judaism and Antijudaism/Antisemitism in the history of philosophy and literature, phenomenology and deconstruction. His philosophical research is focused on contemporary continental philosophy and the questions of sacrifice and history, Judaism and Antijudaism/Antisemitism, forgiveness and alterity, truth and justice.

Jordan Nassar Studio Art Visiting Artist Fall 2025
Tuesday, November 11, 2025 5:30–7 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema Please join us for our second Visiting Artist Lecturer of the Fall 2025 semester. Jordan Nassar’s multivalent art practice engages the material variety of craft to execute ideas centered on heritage and homeland. Through hand-embroidery, wood inlay, glass and expansive installations, he examines issues of identity, diaspora and cultural participation. Nassar often employs “the landscape” as a thread throughout these different mediums, carefully mapping out patterns and repeatedly intercepting them, using fields of color to define rolling hills and expanses of water. Nassar has adapted the matrilineally-learned tradition of Palestinian tatreez, or cross stitch—most often found on pillows, clothing, and other domestic arts—to mirror his hybridized upbringing. His childhood home in the U.S. was decorated with such objects, which his father brought back from visits to his ancestral homeland. Each hand-embroidered work is stretched and framed, bringing Nassar’s embroidery practice into a dialogue with painting.
James Joyce and Marcel Proust met only once, at a late-night supper in the Hotel Majestic in Paris in May 1922. This lecture will revisit their brief and awkward encounter and explore what it reveals about the literary and social worlds of early twentieth-century Paris, how artistic value is created and sustained, and the contrasting experiences of exile and belonging that shaped each writer’s work.
Barry McCrea is the Donald R. Keough Family Professor of Irish Studies and Professor of English at Notre Dame University. He is the author of three books: Languages of the Night, winner of the American Comparative Literature Association’s René Wellek prize for the best book of 2016; In the Company of Strangers which was awarded the Heyman prize for scholarship in the humanities; and a novel, The First Verse, which won a number of awards including the Ferro-Grumley prize for fiction and a Barnes & Noble “Discover” award.

Rachel’s mother, the late Margot Stern Strom was the founder of Facing History and Ourselves, a Holocaust-based anti-bias educational program (for which she received an honorary degree from Bard College in 2001). Nina and Amy’s father, the lateRobert Rifkind, was a lawyer, and president of the American Jewish Committee, working to combat antisemitism and hatred. Their children also oppose hate, but through something more basic and essential: protecting due process and the integrity of the legal system. BCSH director Kenneth Stern, who knew the parents and the children, will moderate a discussion between them. Rachel Strom was on a team that drafted an amicus brief for Jewish organizations on behalf of Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts student whisked away supposedly for co-authoring an op-ed. Amy Rifkind and Nina Rifkind wrote a letter to the law firm Paul, Weiss, after it capitulated to threats from the Trump administration, powerfully stating how this action violated the vision of the firm set down by its founder, their grandfather, Judge Simon Rifkind.
Chronic Erasure: Reflection on Archive, Curation, and Storage in Palestine under Israeli Settler Colonialism
Mazen Iwaisi, Ibrahim Abu Lughod fellow, Columbia University
Wednesday, November 12, 2025 6 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Mazen Iwaisi's research examines how Israeli settler colonialism operates through archaeological archival practices to disrupt Palestinian presence and state-building processes. Employing institutional ethnography and archival analysis, he investigates how archives become sites of contestation between colonial erasure and Palestinian institutional development. Israeli settler colonialism undermines Palestinian heritage institutions through "chronic erasure"—manipulating temporal frameworks that destroy present Palestinian connections whilst fabricating alternative Israeli narratives. Palestinian state-building efforts resist these processes through institutional archaeology, creating archives that assert sovereignty and cultural continuity despite occupation.
Cases from Gaza's emergency artefact preservation and West Bank excavations reveal how Palestinian archival practices embody resistance, establishing knowledge infrastructures whilst confronting colonial dispossession. The Palestinian Department of Antiquities exemplifies this tension, navigating resource constraints and political limitations whilst building institutional capacity for heritage preservation. This demonstrates how Palestinian archival work transcends documentation, functioning as state-building acts that assert Palestinian historical presence while constructing institutional frameworks for cultural preservation and national continuity. These practices counter settler colonial temporality by maintaining Palestinian cultural memory against systematic erasure.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies, the Human Rights Project and the Anthropology program.

re/presentarereflects on the practice of working from the commons, in its frictions and possibilities. Reframing Evidence from the Commons means acknowledging the challenging reality of true communal work in which different interests and visions of justice co-exist. It also seeks to question what constitutes evidence and how, for communities outside of the juridical Western frame, it opens up other possibilities once it is mobilized through the mediation of investigative arts. re/presentare is curating a project in Mexico City as part of Evidence, an international festival by the Fisher Center LAB, in association with CHRA. This talk is moderated by Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco, Assistant Professor of Architectural Studies at Bard.

Unlocking Ice Sheet Histories with Magnetic Stratigraphy
A lecture by Brendan Reilly, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University
Friday, November 14, 2025 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Pioneered as a revolutionary dating tool for Earth science in the mid-1960s, magnetic stratigraphy uses the record of Earth’s magnetic field preserved in sediments and rocks as a natural timeline of geologic events. Today, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers are used to reconstruct both the strength and direction of Earth’s past magnetic field. These sensitive instruments can rapidly measure even the weak magnetization of deep-sea sediments, which typically contain only trace amounts of magnetic minerals. Here, I’ll explore the frontiers of magnetic stratigraphy in the study of sediments deposited offshore Greenland and Antarctica. These archives also record ice sheet dynamics and oceanographic changes back to and through the ice ages. Because these sediments are often difficult to date with traditional radiometric methods, magnetic stratigraphy offers new opportunities to explore geologic examples of the factors that contribute to the stability and instability of ice sheets. To learn more about one of our recent interdisciplinary expeditions to learn about Greenland’s glacial history, check out this short documentary.

Workshop on Dialogue and Deliberation: Advocating For Democracy
Friday, November 14, 2025 2–5 pm
Arendt Center The Hannah Arendt Center Dialogue Project and Democracy Innovation Hub are offering a 2-part workshop on dialogue and deliberation that is both experiential and intellectual, with the purpose of advocating for democracy.
The processes of dialogue and deliberative democracy align with Hannah Arendt's concept of the political, where everyone is seen and heard. In dialogue the purpose is communication itself, in deliberation, the group must come together to make judgments.
Speaking in the public realm is an act of courage and provides a plurality of views for all to “go visiting.” Good will is the basis for deciding whether to engage, or not. Creating political spaces as the practice of democracy, especially now, embodies Arendt’s conviction that it is possible to create a common world and to make judgments for the common good.
Open Bard students only. Spaces are limited. Participation is sponsored by the Democracy Innovation Hub at the Hannah Arendt Center.

CCS Bard, Classroom 102 In a show-and-tell presentation style, Sofía unpacks a curatorial toolkit that is in the making. In that process, she references collaborations with a number of artists, curators, and designers, including Goda Budvytytė, Alejandro Cesarco, Sarah Demeuse, Bernardo de Souza, Mario García Torres, Inés Katzenstein, Iris Kensmil, Jessy Koeiman, Irene Kopelman, Raimundas Malasauskas, Manuel Raeder, and Team Thursday, among others. People attending this program are encouraged to bring a tool; to briefly speak about it; to share it with the group. Take note that tools, as much as retooling, are used here to link art with public engagement. Consider tools that were newly acquired. Shared tools. Borrowed ones. Basic tools. Tools to replace; to forget about; to invent.
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. Speakers are selected primarily by second-year graduate students and also by faculty and staff. All lectures are free and open, and are documented through audio recordings that reside in the CCS Bard Library and Archives and online here.
Upstate Films Hosts Youth Voting Rights Book Launch and Documentary Screening on November 18
Tuesday, November 18, 2025 5 pm
Upstate Films, Rhinebeck
Introduced by Bard College President Leon Botstein, Event Features Conversation with Bard College Vice President Jonathan Becker, Alum Seamus Heady ’22, and Constitutional Rights Attorney Yael Bromberg
On November 18at 5 pm, Upstate Films at the Starr Theater in Rhinebeck is hosting a special multi-media presentation of a book and four short documentaries focusing on the fight for voting rights on US college campuses. The event will feature a reading and conversation with book editors, Jonathan Becker and Yael Bromberg, and with documentary producer Seamus Heady. It will be introduced by Bard College President Leon Botstein. The event is free and open to the public. Tickets can be secured here.
The book and the documentaries focus on case studies of four institutions – Tuskegee University, Prairie View A&M University, North Carolina A&T State University, and Bard College. These cases, which emerged from a joint course that united faculty and students from all four institutions, offer unique insights into the role of college communities in the fight for suffrage, and their contributions to the evolution of the right to vote.
Bard College President Leon Botstein says: “This remarkable and inspiring book and the accompanying documentaries tell us about the struggle for voting rights at Bard and at three Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Readers will learn how college communities can and must promote core democratic freedoms, rights and practices. The authors’ achievement testifies to the indispensable link between higher education and democracy.”
The book is coedited and includes chapters by Jonathan Becker, professor of political studies, vice president for academic affairs and director of the Center for Civic Engagement at Bard College, and Yael Bromberg, Esq., a constitutional rights litigator, leading legal scholar of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment, and election law professor at American University Washington College of Law.
Jonathan Becker says: “The book and film, A Poll to Call Our Own, have particular resonance in Dutchess County, where the fight for Bard and Vassar students to vote locally and have polling places on college campuses campus took place over nearly a quarter century. The lessons of the book are particularly important today, as we see the shadow of authoritarianism creeping across the country.”
Yael Bromberg says: “It is fitting that we are launching this book release in Dutchess County. What started as successful litigations to secure an on-campus polling site at Bard College, then motivated a state mandate to secure the mechanism on campuses across the state. These efforts evolved from litigation and advocacy into an ongoing national academic partnership and resulting book, which examines evolution of the right to vote from the perspective of college communities. We look forward to sharing these lessons in the midst of this moment of constitutional crisis.”
The films were directed by Seamus Heady ’22 and Mariia Pankova MA ’24 in Human Rights and the Arts. Heady says: “As a lifelong resident of Dutchess County, I was shocked and disheartened to learn of the barriers local students have faced in casting their ballots. The multi-campus collaboration allowed us not only to situate Bard's story in a national context, but to draw on the rich activist history of all four campuses. When you start making these connections across geography and history, the authoritarian playbook is really laid bare, and we get to see what strategies have prevailed in resisting that.”

Hessel Museum of Art Stan Douglas: Ghostlight will be the artist’s first survey in the U.S. in over 20 years and will chart his global influence and innovation across 40 works from the 1990s to the present. The exhibition will present the North American premiere of an immersive, multi-channel video installation that revisits D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film “The Birth of a Nation” framed by a selection of works that explore topics ranging from settler colonialism in the Americas, to the legacies of transatlantic slavery, to modern movements for liberation in Africa and Europe. Douglas’ deeply researched and longtime commitment to these histories provide an expansive view of the present, one that sheds light on moments of breakdown and chaos that attend societies in upheaval.

Powerhouse Arts 322 3rd Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11215 Experience the deliberative democracy wave! Join us for an immersive evening by stepping into the role of a participant in a civic assembly!
Working together, Bard College's Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities, People’s Creative Institute , Columbia World Projects, and The Civic Engagement Commission in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts are excited to present “You Are Democracy: A Series on Collective Power," a three-part event series focused on democracy beyond elections. This series will include a film screening, model civic assembly, and a celebratory reimagining of a public meeting.
Part 2 at Powerhouse Arts, 322 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Join the movement for deliberative democracy and learn how New Yorkers can have their voice heard. Join us for the second event in our series, “Democracy in Practice: A Model Assembly”. An immersive evening where New Yorkers step into the role of participants in a civic assembly. Civic assemblies are a growing practice where residents of a municipality come together to discuss issues in their community and arrive at practical solutions. Learn, listen, deliberate, and practice deliberation as a practical tool for democratic decision-making.
The topic of this model assembly will be flooding and climate resilience. About 400,000 NYC residents live in high-risk flood zones - Gowanus being one of them. Climate change is driving heavier downpours and rising sea levels, leading to more frequent floods that strain infrastructure and put lives at risk. What should we prioritize in the face of these changes? How can we think more deeply and strategically together as a city? Don’t miss this model assembly.
The evening's model assembly will be facilitated by Philip Lindsay of Bard College and Forrest Sparks of The Assembly Project, with special guests. REGISTER

The Richness of Perception: Dynamic Visual Representations From Static Images
A lecture by Kimberly Wong, Williams College
Thursday, November 20, 2025 4 pm
Preston Theater What is the purpose of visual perception? The most common explanations suggest that seeing is for answering the question "What's out there?," giving us information about the features and objects in the current local environment. This talk, in contrast, suggests a different approach: seeing is also for answering the question "What's happening?" and the related questions "What just happened?" and "What's about to happen?" The critical difference is that while the more common answer seems implicitly static, these newer answers are intrinsically dynamic. Collectively, this work demonstrates that perception forms rich dynamic representations even of static scenes: we see what matters: visual representations of a scene's deep underlying structure, its inferred past, and its likely future.

Advancing the Landscape of Research, Methodology, and Data on the Care Economy
A Feminist Economics Lens
Friday, November 21, 2025 10–11:30 am
Online Event We are pleased to announce that the Online Events Committee of the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) is co-hosting an event with the Levy Economics Institute on Friday, November 21, 2025. This 90-minute, moderated panel will explore the evolving global research and data landscape on care work from a feminist economics perspective, with a goal of highlighting resources for researchers and advocates. Though care work has advanced markedly in research, national policymaking, and multilateral agendas, the feminist economic theoretical and methodological roots of this work continue to be essential for ensuring technical rigor to support the greatest impact. This event will aim to advance the dialogue on where there has been progress in terms of research, methodology, and data, from a feminist economic perspective, as well as discuss where our collective efforts could be best utilized moving forward.
The panel will be structured around two key themes:
Research and methodological progress – highlighting notable advancements in research on public investment in the care economy and the associated methodologies.
Data infrastructure and surveys – assessing developments in time-use data and broader care data systems/dashboards over the past two decades.
The panel features leading experts whose research and contributions are advancing the fields of gender, care, and macroeconomics. Panelists:
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 The development of optomechanical systems, in which the motion of a massive object is controlled and measured using light, has revolutionized the detection of tiny forces over the past few decades. As such technologies reach, and even surpass, quantum measurement limits, they can enable new searches for extremely weakly coupled phenomena including gravitational waves, dark matter, and sterile neutrinos.
As a demonstration of these techniques, I will describe an initial search for dark matter using an optically levitated nanogram mass sensor, which can exceed the sensitivity of even large underground detectors for certain classes of dark matter in just a few days of operation. If a signal were detected, such sensors may be able to correlate its direction with earth’s motion through the galaxy, allowing definitive confirmation that such a signal arose from dark matter. In addition, I will discuss future applications of such sensors to neutrino physics in a table-top scale experiment. Results from a recent proof-of-principle measurement demonstrate that the force imparted by a single nuclear decay occurring within an optically levitated, dust-sized particle can be detected.

Blithewood On Friday, November 21 at 12 PM, Professor and Chair of Economics at Skidmore College Joerg Bibow will be presenting his recent Levy Working Paper, "Banking on Payments?" ABSTRACT For the past hundred years or more, payments have been primarily associated with banking, and banking as we know it today—being the result of many centuries of evolution—features a bundling of (at least) three main lines of business: lending, deposit-taking, and payment services. In the past 15 years or so, banks have come under severe competition as providers of payment services. Will “banking on payments” become outmoded and payments untethered from banking, or will payments still have a place in the future of banking?
Professor Joerg Bibow grew up in Hamburg, northern Germany, and has studied and worked in six countries, including South Africa, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Before and during his studies of economics at three different universities he gathered a number of years of work experience in the financial services industry (insurance, pension fund, and banking). He has also worked, as researcher and consultant, with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Geneva, Switzerland, is a research associate at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, and is a fellow at the Forum for Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM).

The exhibition will present the North American premiere of an immersive, multi-channel video installation that revisits D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film “The Birth of a Nation” framed by a selection of works that explore topics ranging from settler colonialism in the Americas, to the legacies of transatlantic slavery, to modern movements for liberation in Africa and Europe. Douglas’ deeply researched and longtime commitment to these histories provide an expansive view of the present, one that sheds light on moments of breakdown and chaos that attend societies in upheaval.

In an age saturated by dystopian narratives that often reinforce the status quo, Braschi’s hybrid and radical work in Spanish, English, and Spanglish opens up new ways of thinking about identity, power, and the future. Her groundbreaking contributions have been widely recognized with numerous awards, and she is celebrated as one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latinx literature.
This dialogue is part of the A Cartography for the Future online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it.) From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.
Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies, and LAIS. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community. To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected]
Sponsored by: Spanish Studies, LAIS, and Experimental Humanities.

Arendt Center Irene’s research explores the ethical reflection that Hannah Arendt began to develop after the Eichmann trial and that culminates in Arendt’s last unfinished masterpiece, The Life of the Mind.
Of particular interest to her is the first chapter of the section dedicated to the activity of thinking. In that context, Arendt focuses on several key concepts—such as that of appearance—drawing on new authors, including figures from the realm of biological studies. Among these, the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the zoologist Adolf Portmann are especially significant.
In this presentation, Irene seeks to connect Arendt’s conception of thinking as an activity inextricably rooted in the sensible world with several key questions—also emerging from earlier passages in Arendt’s works—concerning the possibility of inhabiting the world in a truly human and ethical way.

The Keith Haring Lecture in Art and Activism: Valentina Rozas-Krause
Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism, 2024–25
Thursday, November 6, 2025 5–7 pm
CCS Bard, Classroom 102 Feminimonuments: Feminist Transformations of ‘Difficult Monuments’ during the recent Chilean Social Upheaval
Only 4.7% of Santiago’s monuments represent women, a grim statistic that is echoed in cities around the world. Yet in the heat of the chilean social upheaval (2019-20), protesters and women’s groups took the problem of female representation into their own hands. Guided by an intersectional lens, this presentation analyzes monuments of ‘difficult heritage’ in two Chilean cities, Santiago and Valparaíso, to understand how they were transformed physically and symbolically into sites of feminist solidarity. The stakes are high, together these monuments speak about European colonization, the nation-state, the ongoing conflict with indigenous populations, past and present violence against women, as well as the oversight of feminine historical agency. Each case represents a typology of monument-appropriation, and its analysis will help to unravel a counter-archive of possibilities for female representation in public space.
The Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism is made possible through a grant from the Keith Haring Foundation. The Keith Haring Chair is a cross-disciplinary, annual, visiting faculty appointment for a scholar, activist, or artist to teach and conduct research at both the Center for Curatorial Studies and the Human Rights Project at Bard College. The Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism was established to allow a distinguished leader in the field to investigate the role of art as a catalyst for social change, linking the two programs and presenting original research in an annual lecture.

Online Event We're reading On Revolution. Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape. On Revolution is her classic exploration of a phenomenon that has reshaped the globe.

Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.

Memory Policies or Political Memory? The De-Ottomanization of History in Communist Albania
Gianfranco Bria, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow (MSCA) and Assistant Professor at Roma Tre University
Monday, November 10, 2025 3:30 pm
Olin Language Center, Room 115 This talk examines how communist Albania’s anti-religious propaganda reconfigured national memory to legitimize the regime’s secular ideology. By portraying Islam as a remnant of the Ottoman “dark past,” the state sought to erase Islamic references from Albanian identity through education, historiography, and cultural policies. The talk shows how this process of de-Islamization functioned as a broader strategy to construct a socialist “new man” devoted to science and the nation.

Literature Salon: On Cunning, or, Art and Craft in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra
Adhaar Noor Desai, Associate Professor of Literature, Bard College
Monday, November 10, 2025 5–6 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 204 This presentation draws on a chapter-in-progress from Professor Desai's next book project, tentatively titled How Shakespeare Judged His Art: Lofty, Stately, Cunning, Rare, Fair. An attempt to reconstruct how writers in early modern England approached literary craft, the book focuses on some of the terms Shakespeare and his contemporaries used when appraising their work. "Cunning"— a term affiliated with domains as distant as courtly poetry, military strategy, and racially suspect "gypsies"—appears in Antony and Cleopatra to demonstrate how elitism and racecraft operate by playing fast and loose with the proximity between skill and deceit, technique and trickery. An excerpt of this chapter draft will be circulated beforehand, and the presentation will include ample time for questions and for discussing research methods, the writing process, and the practical challenges of starting a new project.

Antijudaism and Antisemitism in European Philosophy
with Joseph Cohen
Monday, November 10, 2025 6–8 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 205 From Kant to Heidegger, many of Europe’s most influential philosophers have engaged—sometimes critically, sometimes prejudicially—with the figure of “the Jew” and the central ideas of Judaism. This seminar explores how concepts such as election, messianism, revelation, and the Law have been interpreted, and often distorted, in the philosophical tradition. We will examine the distinction between antijudaism (opposition to Jewish religion or thought) and antisemitism (hostility toward Jews as a people), while also tracing their deep historical and conceptual connections. Through close readings of key thinkers (including Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Marx, and Heidegger), we will see how these ideas were not mere products of prejudice, but at times formed a structural part of philosophical systems—casting “the Jew” as a necessary counterpoint to philosophy itself. We will ask: In what sense has the trope of the Jew as a “counter-essential enemy” to philosophical thinking been seen as necessary for the very unfolding of European philosophical history?
--------------------------
JOSEPH COHEN is Professor of Philosophy at University College Dublin (Ireland) since 2007.

Jordan Nassar Studio Art Visiting Artist Fall 2025
Tuesday, November 11, 2025 5:30–7 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema Please join us for our second Visiting Artist Lecturer of the Fall 2025 semester. Jordan Nassar’s multivalent art practice engages the material variety of craft to execute ideas centered on heritage and homeland. Through hand-embroidery, wood inlay, glass and expansive installations, he examines issues of identity, diaspora and cultural participation. Nassar often employs “the landscape” as a thread throughout these different mediums, carefully mapping out patterns and repeatedly intercepting them, using fields of color to define rolling hills and expanses of water. Nassar has adapted the matrilineally-learned tradition of Palestinian tatreez, or cross stitch—most often found on pillows, clothing, and other domestic arts—to mirror his hybridized upbringing. His childhood home in the U.S. was decorated with such objects, which his father brought back from visits to his ancestral homeland. Each hand-embroidered work is stretched and framed, bringing Nassar’s embroidery practice into a dialogue with painting.
James Joyce and Marcel Proust met only once, at a late-night supper in the Hotel Majestic in Paris in May 1922. This lecture will revisit their brief and awkward encounter and explore what it reveals about the literary and social worlds of early twentieth-century Paris, how artistic value is created and sustained, and the contrasting experiences of exile and belonging that shaped each writer’s work.
Barry McCrea is the Donald R. Keough Family Professor of Irish Studies and Professor of English at Notre Dame University.

Rachel’s mother, the late Margot Stern Strom was the founder of Facing History and Ourselves, a Holocaust-based anti-bias educational program (for which she received an honorary degree from Bard College in 2001). Nina and Amy’s father, the lateRobert Rifkind, was a lawyer, and president of the American Jewish Committee, working to combat antisemitism and hatred. Their children also oppose hate, but through something more basic and essential: protecting due process and the integrity of the legal system. BCSH director Kenneth Stern, who knew the parents and the children, will moderate a discussion between them. Rachel Strom was on a team that drafted an amicus brief for Jewish organizations on behalf of Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts student whisked away supposedly for co-authoring an op-ed. Amy Rifkind and Nina Rifkind wrote a letter to the law firm Paul, Weiss, after it capitulated to threats from the Trump administration, powerfully stating how this action violated the vision of the firm set down by its founder, their grandfather, Judge Simon Rifkind.
Chronic Erasure: Reflection on Archive, Curation, and Storage in Palestine under Israeli Settler Colonialism
Mazen Iwaisi, Ibrahim Abu Lughod fellow, Columbia University
Wednesday, November 12, 2025 6 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Mazen Iwaisi's research examines how Israeli settler colonialism operates through archaeological archival practices to disrupt Palestinian presence and state-building processes. Employing institutional ethnography and archival analysis, he investigates how archives become sites of contestation between colonial erasure and Palestinian institutional development. Israeli settler colonialism undermines Palestinian heritage institutions through "chronic erasure"—manipulating temporal frameworks that destroy present Palestinian connections whilst fabricating alternative Israeli narratives. Palestinian state-building efforts resist these processes through institutional archaeology, creating archives that assert sovereignty and cultural continuity despite occupation.
Cases from Gaza's emergency artefact preservation and West Bank excavations reveal how Palestinian archival practices embody resistance, establishing knowledge infrastructures whilst confronting colonial dispossession. The Palestinian Department of Antiquities exemplifies this tension, navigating resource constraints and political limitations whilst building institutional capacity for heritage preservation. This demonstrates how Palestinian archival work transcends documentation, functioning as state-building acts that assert Palestinian historical presence while constructing institutional frameworks for cultural preservation and national continuity. These practices counter settler colonial temporality by maintaining Palestinian cultural memory against systematic erasure.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies, the Human Rights Project and the Anthropology program.

re/presentarereflects on the practice of working from the commons, in its frictions and possibilities. Reframing Evidence from the Commons means acknowledging the challenging reality of true communal work in which different interests and visions of justice co-exist. It also seeks to question what constitutes evidence and how, for communities outside of the juridical Western frame, it opens up other possibilities once it is mobilized through the mediation of investigative arts. re/presentare is curating a project in Mexico City as part of Evidence, an international festival by the Fisher Center LAB, in association with CHRA. This talk is moderated by Ivonne Santoyo-Orozco, Assistant Professor of Architectural Studies at Bard.

Unlocking Ice Sheet Histories with Magnetic Stratigraphy
A lecture by Brendan Reilly, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University
Friday, November 14, 2025 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Pioneered as a revolutionary dating tool for Earth science in the mid-1960s, magnetic stratigraphy uses the record of Earth’s magnetic field preserved in sediments and rocks as a natural timeline of geologic events. Today, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers are used to reconstruct both the strength and direction of Earth’s past magnetic field. These sensitive instruments can rapidly measure even the weak magnetization of deep-sea sediments, which typically contain only trace amounts of magnetic minerals. Here, I’ll explore the frontiers of magnetic stratigraphy in the study of sediments deposited offshore Greenland and Antarctica. These archives also record ice sheet dynamics and oceanographic changes back to and through the ice ages. Because these sediments are often difficult to date with traditional radiometric methods, magnetic stratigraphy offers new opportunities to explore geologic examples of the factors that contribute to the stability and instability of ice sheets. To learn more about one of our recent interdisciplinary expeditions to learn about Greenland’s glacial history, check out this short documentary.

Workshop on Dialogue and Deliberation: Advocating For Democracy
Friday, November 14, 2025 2–5 pm
Arendt Center The Hannah Arendt Center Dialogue Project and Democracy Innovation Hub are offering a 2-part workshop on dialogue and deliberation that is both experiential and intellectual, with the purpose of advocating for democracy.
The processes of dialogue and deliberative democracy align with Hannah Arendt's concept of the political, where everyone is seen and heard. In dialogue the purpose is communication itself, in deliberation, the group must come together to make judgments.
Speaking in the public realm is an act of courage and provides a plurality of views for all to “go visiting.” Good will is the basis for deciding whether to engage, or not. Creating political spaces as the practice of democracy, especially now, embodies Arendt’s conviction that it is possible to create a common world and to make judgments for the common good.
Open Bard students only. Spaces are limited. Participation is sponsored by the Democracy Innovation Hub at the Hannah Arendt Center.

CCS Bard, Classroom 102 In a show-and-tell presentation style, Sofía unpacks a curatorial toolkit that is in the making. In that process, she references collaborations with a number of artists, curators, and designers, including Goda Budvytytė, Alejandro Cesarco, Sarah Demeuse, Bernardo de Souza, Mario García Torres, Inés Katzenstein, Iris Kensmil, Jessy Koeiman, Irene Kopelman, Raimundas Malasauskas, Manuel Raeder, and Team Thursday, among others. People attending this program are encouraged to bring a tool; to briefly speak about it; to share it with the group. Take note that tools, as much as retooling, are used here to link art with public engagement. Consider tools that were newly acquired. Shared tools. Borrowed ones. Basic tools. Tools to replace; to forget about; to invent.
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. Speakers are selected primarily by second-year graduate students and also by faculty and staff. All lectures are free and open, and are documented through audio recordings that reside in the CCS Bard Library and Archives and online here.
Upstate Films Hosts Youth Voting Rights Book Launch and Documentary Screening on November 18
Tuesday, November 18, 2025 5 pm
Upstate Films, Rhinebeck
Introduced by Bard College President Leon Botstein, Event Features Conversation with Bard College Vice President Jonathan Becker, Alum Seamus Heady ’22, and Constitutional Rights Attorney Yael Bromberg
On November 18at 5 pm, Upstate Films at the Starr Theater in Rhinebeck is hosting a special multi-media presentation of a book and four short documentaries focusing on the fight for voting rights on US college campuses. The event will feature a reading and conversation with book editors, Jonathan Becker and Yael Bromberg, and with documentary producer Seamus Heady. It will be introduced by Bard College President Leon Botstein. The event is free and open to the public. Tickets can be secured here.
The book and the documentaries focus on case studies of four institutions – Tuskegee University, Prairie View A&M University, North Carolina A&T State University, and Bard College. These cases, which emerged from a joint course that united faculty and students from all four institutions, offer unique insights into the role of college communities in the fight for suffrage, and their contributions to the evolution of the right to vote.
Bard College President Leon Botstein says: “This remarkable and inspiring book and the accompanying documentaries tell us about the struggle for voting rights at Bard and at three Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Readers will learn how college communities can and must promote core democratic freedoms, rights and practices. The authors’ achievement testifies to the indispensable link between higher education and democracy.”
The book is coedited and includes chapters by Jonathan Becker, professor of political studies, vice president for academic affairs and director of the Center for Civic Engagement at Bard College, and Yael Bromberg, Esq., a constitutional rights litigator, leading legal scholar of the Twenty-Sixth Amendment, and election law professor at American University Washington College of Law.
Jonathan Becker says: “The book and film, A Poll to Call Our Own, have particular resonance in Dutchess County, where the fight for Bard and Vassar students to vote locally and have polling places on college campuses campus took place over nearly a quarter century. The lessons of the book are particularly important today, as we see the shadow of authoritarianism creeping across the country.”
Yael Bromberg says: “It is fitting that we are launching this book release in Dutchess County. What started as successful litigations to secure an on-campus polling site at Bard College, then motivated a state mandate to secure the mechanism on campuses across the state. These efforts evolved from litigation and advocacy into an ongoing national academic partnership and resulting book, which examines evolution of the right to vote from the perspective of college communities. We look forward to sharing these lessons in the midst of this moment of constitutional crisis.”
The films were directed by Seamus Heady ’22 and Mariia Pankova MA ’24 in Human Rights and the Arts. Heady says: “As a lifelong resident of Dutchess County, I was shocked and disheartened to learn of the barriers local students have faced in casting their ballots. The multi-campus collaboration allowed us not only to situate Bard's story in a national context, but to draw on the rich activist history of all four campuses. When you start making these connections across geography and history, the authoritarian playbook is really laid bare, and we get to see what strategies have prevailed in resisting that.”

Powerhouse Arts 322 3rd Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11215 Experience the deliberative democracy wave! Join us for an immersive evening by stepping into the role of a participant in a civic assembly!
Working together, Bard College's Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities, People’s Creative Institute , Columbia World Projects, and The Civic Engagement Commission in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts are excited to present “You Are Democracy: A Series on Collective Power," a three-part event series focused on democracy beyond elections. This series will include a film screening, model civic assembly, and a celebratory reimagining of a public meeting.
Part 2 at Powerhouse Arts, 322 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Join the movement for deliberative democracy and learn how New Yorkers can have their voice heard. Join us for the second event in our series, “Democracy in Practice: A Model Assembly”. An immersive evening where New Yorkers step into the role of participants in a civic assembly. Civic assemblies are a growing practice where residents of a municipality come together to discuss issues in their community and arrive at practical solutions. Learn, listen, deliberate, and practice deliberation as a practical tool for democratic decision-making.
The topic of this model assembly will be flooding and climate resilience. About 400,000 NYC residents live in high-risk flood zones - Gowanus being one of them. Climate change is driving heavier downpours and rising sea levels, leading to more frequent floods that strain infrastructure and put lives at risk. What should we prioritize in the face of these changes? How can we think more deeply and strategically together as a city? Don’t miss this model assembly.
The evening's model assembly will be facilitated by Philip Lindsay of Bard College and Forrest Sparks of The Assembly Project, with special guests. REGISTER

The Richness of Perception: Dynamic Visual Representations From Static Images
A lecture by Kimberly Wong, Williams College
Thursday, November 20, 2025 4 pm
Preston Theater What is the purpose of visual perception? The most common explanations suggest that seeing is for answering the question "What's out there?," giving us information about the features and objects in the current local environment. This talk, in contrast, suggests a different approach: seeing is also for answering the question "What's happening?" and the related questions "What just happened?" and "What's about to happen?" The critical difference is that while the more common answer seems implicitly static, these newer answers are intrinsically dynamic. Collectively, this work demonstrates that perception forms rich dynamic representations even of static scenes: we see what matters: visual representations of a scene's deep underlying structure, its inferred past, and its likely future.

Advancing the Landscape of Research, Methodology, and Data on the Care Economy
A Feminist Economics Lens
Friday, November 21, 2025 10–11:30 am
Online Event We are pleased to announce that the Online Events Committee of the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) is co-hosting an event with the Levy Economics Institute on Friday, November 21, 2025. This 90-minute, moderated panel will explore the evolving global research and data landscape on care work from a feminist economics perspective, with a goal of highlighting resources for researchers and advocates. Though care work has advanced markedly in research, national policymaking, and multilateral agendas, the feminist economic theoretical and methodological roots of this work continue to be essential for ensuring technical rigor to support the greatest impact. This event will aim to advance the dialogue on where there has been progress in terms of research, methodology, and data, from a feminist economic perspective, as well as discuss where our collective efforts could be best utilized moving forward.
The panel will be structured around two key themes:
Research and methodological progress – highlighting notable advancements in research on public investment in the care economy and the associated methodologies.
Data infrastructure and surveys – assessing developments in time-use data and broader care data systems/dashboards over the past two decades.
The panel features leading experts whose research and contributions are advancing the fields of gender, care, and macroeconomics. Panelists:
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 The development of optomechanical systems, in which the motion of a massive object is controlled and measured using light, has revolutionized the detection of tiny forces over the past few decades. As such technologies reach, and even surpass, quantum measurement limits, they can enable new searches for extremely weakly coupled phenomena including gravitational waves, dark matter, and sterile neutrinos.
As a demonstration of these techniques, I will describe an initial search for dark matter using an optically levitated nanogram mass sensor, which can exceed the sensitivity of even large underground detectors for certain classes of dark matter in just a few days of operation. If a signal were detected, such sensors may be able to correlate its direction with earth’s motion through the galaxy, allowing definitive confirmation that such a signal arose from dark matter. In addition, I will discuss future applications of such sensors to neutrino physics in a table-top scale experiment. Results from a recent proof-of-principle measurement demonstrate that the force imparted by a single nuclear decay occurring within an optically levitated, dust-sized particle can be detected.

Blithewood On Friday, November 21 at 12 PM, Professor and Chair of Economics at Skidmore College Joerg Bibow will be presenting his recent Levy Working Paper, "Banking on Payments?" ABSTRACT For the past hundred years or more, payments have been primarily associated with banking, and banking as we know it today—being the result of many centuries of evolution—features a bundling of (at least) three main lines of business: lending, deposit-taking, and payment services. In the past 15 years or so, banks have come under severe competition as providers of payment services. Will “banking on payments” become outmoded and payments untethered from banking, or will payments still have a place in the future of banking?
Professor Joerg Bibow grew up in Hamburg, northern Germany, and has studied and worked in six countries, including South Africa, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Before and during his studies of economics at three different universities he gathered a number of years of work experience in the financial services industry (insurance, pension fund, and banking). He has also worked, as researcher and consultant, with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Geneva, Switzerland, is a research associate at the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, and is a fellow at the Forum for Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM).
