Reopened! Call for Applications: Fall 2018 Student Workshop, “How to Change the World: Theories and Practices”
With National Endowment for the Humanities / Hannah Arendt Center Distinguished Visiting Fellows Chiara Ricciardone, PhD, and Micah White, PhD
Runs through Sunday, July 1, 2018
Arendt Center Workshop Description: 1 credit course Whether we are campaigning on civil rights, environmental justice, refugee rights, or LGBTQIA and women’s rights, the first prerequisite to success is a theory of social change that guides the methods we employ as activists. The range of potential protest tactics is so plentiful—from direct action in the streets to silent prayerful vigils and self-organized worker cooperatives to electoral ballot initiatives—that every activist, whether consciously or not, relies on a theory of change to decide their actions. If the theory of change underlying our activism is false, then our protests are bound to fail. At the same time, social change is a constant and complex phenomenon, involving factors both within and beyond human control. Often, an unexamined set of assumptions govern—and limit—our attempts to make change. This minicourse intends to refresh and expand our thinking about activism by studying four different theories of change: voluntarism, structuralism, subjectivism, and theurgism. We will track these theories through case studies from the ancient Greek as well as the modern world, considering how each practice of protest, civil disobedience, or resistance understands the interplay between individual and world, natural and supernatural.
Raised in Egypt and Turkey, educated at Swarthmore (BA 2005) and Berkeley (PhD 2017), Chiara Ricciardone’s research interests range widely. Most of her work to date has focused on the ancient Greeks and critical theory; she is particularly fascinated by the political and formal problem that difference poses for human beings, and how it might be possible to think of difference without hierarchy. Sometimes she despairs of knowing anything whatsoever, and then she turns to activism and art. Ricciardone is at work on a book of autofiction that suggests the self itself is a fiction, and perhaps no longer a useful one. She currently serves as provost for the Activist Graduate School. Learn more about Chiara at chiararicciardone.net.
Micah White is a lifelong social activist known for cocreating Occupy Wall Street, a social movement that spread to 82 countries, while he was an editor of Adbusters magazine. Widely recognized as a pioneer of social activism, White was named one of the most influential young thinkers alive today by Esquire. His first book, The End of Protest: A New Playbook for Revolution, was published in 2016 by Knopf Canada, and the German edition, Die Zukunft der Rebellion, will be released in May 2018 by Blumenbar. White is the program director of Activist Graduate School. Learn more about Micah at micahmwhite.com.

1. Send a short written response to the following: name a protest (of any kind) and explain why it is a good example ofhow protest should ideally be. 2. Send a 1–2 minute informal video introducing yourself and your reasons for wanting to take the course. Video should be shared as a link to either a Dropbox or Google Drive file, YouTube or Vimeo video, or similar (due to video sizes typically exceeding email limits). 3.

Fisher Center, LUMA Theater “The kiss we never dared We'll dare in dreaming...” —“Dream With Me,” Leonard Bernstein, Peter Pan
Definitely not your grandparents’ Peter Pan! Internationally renowned director Christopher Alden reveals a darker side to J. M. Barrie’s fantasy of childhood and the inner child in a psychologically gripping new production, by turns whimsical and sinister, transfigured with a joyous and shimmering score by Leonard Bernstein. Originally composed for a 1950 Broadway production, Bernstein’s Peter Pan songs have long lain like secret jewels, waiting to be rediscovered.

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium The use of computers in research often results in the accumulation of data, some from experiments and other data collected less formally, perhaps from automated sensors such as microphones, photosensors, and interactive web pages. Should you consider exploring patterns in the data using machine learning? This workshop will introduce a few practical tools to help you grapple with large data sets and techniques for exploring relations hidden in the data. We will apply supervised and unsupervised algorithms to examine regression and classification problems. Attendees should bring an internet-ready computer running Google's Chrome browser.

Barrie’s fantasy of childhood and the inner child in a psychologically gripping new production, by turns whimsical and sinister, transfigured with a joyous and shimmering score by Leonard Bernstein.

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium The term "a theory of everything" has started to appear more in popular media, but what does it even mean? In this talk, we will explore the history of the search for a theory of everything in physics and discuss why researchers are so interested in such a theory. We will review the current state of research on unifying physics. We will also address some of the questions that often arise when discussing these theories: is this science, and is this even possible?

Barrie’s fantasy of childhood and the inner child in a psychologically gripping new production, by turns whimsical and sinister, transfigured with a joyous and shimmering score by Leonard Bernstein.

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium There is a fundamental tension between storing discrete traces of individual experiences, which allows recall of particular moments in our past without interference, and extracting regularities across these experiences, which supports generalization and prediction in similar situations in the future. This tension is resolved in classic memory systems theories by separating these processes anatomically: the hippocampus rapidly encodes individual episodes, while the cortex slowly extracts regularities over days, months, and years. This framework fails, however, to account for the full range of human learning and memory behavior, including: (1) how we often learn regularities quite quickly—within a few minutes or hours; and (2) how these memories transform over time and as a result of sleep. I will present evidence from fMRI and patient studies suggesting that the hippocampus, in addition to its well-established role in episodic memory, is in fact also responsible for our ability to rapidly extract regularities. I will then use computational modeling of the hippocampus to demonstrate how these two competing learning processes can coexist in one brain structure. Finally, I will present empirical and simulation work showing how these initial hippocampal memories are replayed during offline periods to help stabilize and integrate them into cortical networks. This work advocates a new comprehensive, mechanistic view of the remarkable mnemonic capabilities of the human mind and brain.

The American Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Leon Botstein Directed by Thaddeus Strassberger
Friday, July 27, 2018 8 pm
Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
Anton Rubinstein’s operatic masterpiece Demon first premiered to great acclaim in 1871. Although performed frequently in Russia, the work remains something of a rarity in the West today.
Based on the renowned fantasy poem by Mikhail Lermontov, Demon boasts rich choral writing and a fiery libretto. The work vividly depicts the isolation and despair of a fallen angel doomed to eternal damnation. All is upended by a chance encounter with the princess Tamara with whom he falls desperately in love. Tamara’s attempts to resist him and her eventual submission end in tragedy.
The 2018 Summerscape production will be conducted by Leon Botstein and directed by the renowned American director Thaddeus Strassberger with sets by Paul Tate dePoo and costumes by Kaye Voyce. An all-Russian cast will be led by the sparkling-voiced soprano Olga Tolkmit (last seen at Bard in Dimitrij) in the role of Tamara alongside baritone Efim Zavalny in his American debut in the title role.
Fisher Center, Spiegeltent One of only three women to perform solo at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, Melanie Safka has embarked on a half-century musical journey to earn her rightful place as one of America’s folk music treasures. From “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)” to “Brand New Key” and “Ruby Tuesday,” Melanie brings her spirit and spunk to her Spiegeltent debut.

Reopened! Call for Applications: Fall 2018 Student Workshop, “How to Change the World: Theories and Practices”
With National Endowment for the Humanities / Hannah Arendt Center Distinguished Visiting Fellows Chiara Ricciardone, PhD, and Micah White, PhD
Runs through Sunday, July 1, 2018
Arendt Center Workshop Description: 1 credit course Whether we are campaigning on civil rights, environmental justice, refugee rights, or LGBTQIA and women’s rights, the first prerequisite to success is a theory of social change that guides the methods we employ as activists. The range of potential protest tactics is so plentiful—from direct action in the streets to silent prayerful vigils and self-organized worker cooperatives to electoral ballot initiatives—that every activist, whether consciously or not, relies on a theory of change to decide their actions. If the theory of change underlying our activism is false, then our protests are bound to fail. At the same time, social change is a constant and complex phenomenon, involving factors both within and beyond human control. Often, an unexamined set of assumptions govern—and limit—our attempts to make change. This minicourse intends to refresh and expand our thinking about activism by studying four different theories of change: voluntarism, structuralism, subjectivism, and theurgism. We will track these theories through case studies from the ancient Greek as well as the modern world, considering how each practice of protest, civil disobedience, or resistance understands the interplay between individual and world, natural and supernatural.
Raised in Egypt and Turkey, educated at Swarthmore (BA 2005) and Berkeley (PhD 2017), Chiara Ricciardone’s research interests range widely. Most of her work to date has focused on the ancient Greeks and critical theory; she is particularly fascinated by the political and formal problem that difference poses for human beings, and how it might be possible to think of difference without hierarchy. Sometimes she despairs of knowing anything whatsoever, and then she turns to activism and art. Ricciardone is at work on a book of autofiction that suggests the self itself is a fiction, and perhaps no longer a useful one. She currently serves as provost for the Activist Graduate School. Learn more about Chiara at chiararicciardone.net.
Micah White is a lifelong social activist known for cocreating Occupy Wall Street, a social movement that spread to 82 countries, while he was an editor of Adbusters magazine. Widely recognized as a pioneer of social activism, White was named one of the most influential young thinkers alive today by Esquire. His first book, The End of Protest: A New Playbook for Revolution, was published in 2016 by Knopf Canada, and the German edition, Die Zukunft der Rebellion, will be released in May 2018 by Blumenbar. White is the program director of Activist Graduate School. Learn more about Micah at micahmwhite.com.
HOW TO APPLY:
1. Send a short written response to the following: name a protest (of any kind) and explain why it is a good example ofhow protest should ideally be. 2. Send a 1–2 minute informal video introducing yourself and your reasons for wanting to take the course. Video should be shared as a link to either a Dropbox or Google Drive file, YouTube or Vimeo video, or similar (due to video sizes typically exceeding email limits). 3. Applications should be sent to Chiara Ricciardone at [email protected]
Please note: seminar meetings will be filmed as part of a project to bring activist education to the wider world. Seminar participants must be willing to sign a media release form.

Fisher Center, LUMA Theater “The kiss we never dared We'll dare in dreaming...” —“Dream With Me,” Leonard Bernstein, Peter Pan
Definitely not your grandparents’ Peter Pan! Internationally renowned director Christopher Alden reveals a darker side to J. M.

Fisher Center, LUMA Theater “The kiss we never dared We'll dare in dreaming...” —“Dream With Me,” Leonard Bernstein, Peter Pan
Definitely not your grandparents’ Peter Pan! Internationally renowned director Christopher Alden reveals a darker side to J. M. Barrie’s fantasy of childhood and the inner child in a psychologically gripping new production, by turns whimsical and sinister, transfigured with a joyous and shimmering score by Leonard Bernstein. Originally composed for a 1950 Broadway production, Bernstein’s Peter Pan songs have long lain like secret jewels, waiting to be rediscovered.

Suitable for audiences aged 12 and up

Friday, July 20, 2018 3:30–4:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium There is a fundamental tension between storing discrete traces of individual experiences, which allows recall of particular moments in our past without interference, and extracting regularities across these experiences, which supports generalization and prediction in similar situations in the future. This tension is resolved in classic memory systems theories by separating these processes anatomically: the hippocampus rapidly encodes individual episodes, while the cortex slowly extracts regularities over days, months, and years. This framework fails, however, to account for the full range of human learning and memory behavior, including: (1) how we often learn regularities quite quickly—within a few minutes or hours; and (2) how these memories transform over time and as a result of sleep. I will present evidence from fMRI and patient studies suggesting that the hippocampus, in addition to its well-established role in episodic memory, is in fact also responsible for our ability to rapidly extract regularities. I will then use computational modeling of the hippocampus to demonstrate how these two competing learning processes can coexist in one brain structure. Finally, I will present empirical and simulation work showing how these initial hippocampal memories are replayed during offline periods to help stabilize and integrate them into cortical networks. This work advocates a new comprehensive, mechanistic view of the remarkable mnemonic capabilities of the human mind and brain.

The American Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Leon Botstein Directed by Thaddeus Strassberger
Friday, July 27, 2018 8 pm
Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
Anton Rubinstein’s operatic masterpiece Demon first premiered to great acclaim in 1871. Although performed frequently in Russia, the work remains something of a rarity in the West today.
Based on the renowned fantasy poem by Mikhail Lermontov, Demon boasts rich choral writing and a fiery libretto. The work vividly depicts the isolation and despair of a fallen angel doomed to eternal damnation. All is upended by a chance encounter with the princess Tamara with whom he falls desperately in love. Tamara’s attempts to resist him and her eventual submission end in tragedy.
The 2018 Summerscape production will be conducted by Leon Botstein and directed by the renowned American director Thaddeus Strassberger with sets by Paul Tate dePoo and costumes by Kaye Voyce. An all-Russian cast will be led by the sparkling-voiced soprano Olga Tolkmit (last seen at Bard in Dimitrij) in the role of Tamara alongside baritone Efim Zavalny in his American debut in the title role.
Fisher Center, Spiegeltent One of only three women to perform solo at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, Melanie Safka has embarked on a half-century musical journey to earn her rightful place as one of America’s folk music treasures.

Raised in Egypt and Turkey, educated at Swarthmore (BA 2005) and Berkeley (PhD 2017), Chiara Ricciardone’s research interests range widely. Most of her work to date has focused on the ancient Greeks and critical theory; she is particularly fascinated by the political and formal problem that difference poses for human beings, and how it might be possible to think of difference without hierarchy. Sometimes she despairs of knowing anything whatsoever, and then she turns to activism and art. Ricciardone is at work on a book of autofiction that suggests the self itself is a fiction, and perhaps no longer a useful one. She currently serves as provost for the Activist Graduate School.
