Runs through Saturday, December 10, 2022

This Fall, a series of events focusing on the ideas of forced migration, displacement, and education will take place at Bard College Berlin. These events vary from lectures to film screenings to hands-on events and more, hosted by a variety of Bard College Berlin faculty and featuring many guest speakers.

Events in this series:

Friday, October 14, 6:00-7:30pm

After the film screening on campus, the audience is invited to stay for a Q&A and discussion round, moderated by BCB student Alex Ribeiro. Anyone is welcome to share their own perspectives and experiences as part of the discussion. This event is free and open to the public.

Tuesday, November 1, 5:00pm

Wednesday, November 9, 7:00-8:30pm
Permanent Crisis. The Humanities in a Disenchanted Age
Waldstrasse 15
What are the humanities, and why study humanistic subjects? Considered by many as irrelevant for modern careers and professional success, the humanities seem to be in a perpetual state of crisis. In their new book Permanent Crisis. The Humanities in a Disenchanted Age, Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon show that this crisis isn’t new—in fact, it is as old as the humanities themselves. The self-understanding of the modern humanities didn’t merely take shape in response to a perceived crisis; it also made crisis a core part of its project. This event is free and open to the public.

Thursday, November 17, 12:30-1:45pm
Syrian Prison Narratives
Platanenstrasse 98A lecture hall
This event features a talk with scholar Anne Marie McManus, a fellow at the Forum Transreigonale Studien. McManus oversees The Prison Narratives of Assad’s Syria: Voices, Texts, Publics (SYRASP), a five-year research project sponsored by the European Research Council. This event is free and open to the public.

Friday, December 2, 5:30-7:30pm
Is Russia Over? A Discussion with Dr. Helen Faller
Waldstrasse 15 Cafe
Russia’s bungled attempt to invade Ukraine in 2022 has laid bare the fragility of its governing model. If Russia fails as a state due to the war in Ukraine, what forms might decolonization take? What could post-Russia Eurasian space look like? Based on intensive fieldwork in Tatarstan and Russia from 1998 to 2006 and recent interviews with people in the Tatar diaspora, Faller will suggest answers to these questions. Co-hosted by the Civic Engagement program and PT 304 "USSR: A Post-Colonial Assessment". This event is free and open to the BCB community, including students, staff, faculty, and alumni. To register, please email [email protected]
