Meshell Ndegeocello
“No label, no slogan, no party, no skin color, and no religion is more important than the human being.”—James Baldwin
A project inspired by James Baldwin’s truth-telling treatise on justice in the United States, The Fire Next Time, and our endlessly changing world. Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin is a 21st-century ritual tool kit for justice. A call for revolution. A gift during turbulent times.
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace—not in the infantile American sense of being made happy—but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” —James Baldwin
Each month, September–December 2020, we offer gifts—music, thoughts, meditations, and visual testimonies of resilience—inspired by James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time.
“This is my offering to you. This is a different experience so I hope you have an open mind or at least an open heart. I see James Baldwin as an Orisha, his writing as the living word. I wanted to pay homage to him and to the time and effort it took to sit, to physically and emotionally fill the page with a truth that made my own sorrow feel less lonely. He put me on a path of empathy and humility towards my parents. It humbled me towards my mother born in 1944 and my father born in 1939—a time I can’t imagine living in while black.” —Meshell
Check out "Songs of Protest & Healing: Meshell Ndegeocello on the Gospel of James Baldwin" on Tidal Magazine.

Olin Humanities Building
We are excited to announce that both the October 2 and November 6 Bard College IWT Writer as Reader Workshops will be held online.
Writer as Reader workshops model writing practices that inspire students to read more carefully, to grasp the meaning in more complex texts, and to infer meaning from what they read. These workshops invite secondary and college teachers to consider “writing to read” as a central classroom practice, one that shows rather than tells students how writing clarifies the meaning of texts. Working with diverse writing-to-read strategies, workshop participants discover what they bring to the text, what is apparent in the text, what is inferred, and what questions the text poses.
As always, the lineup includes sessions on novels, poetry, nonfiction, historical documents, STEM texts, and other media. Each workshop will highlight writing-to-read strategies that foster close reading and help readers develop an appreciation for the connections between different but related texts.
1. Re-reading Toni Morrison: Black Feminism, Labor, and Love
2. “Ocular Proof”: Reading Othello in an Age of Mass Incarceration
3. The Place of the Writer in the “Widening Gyre”: Things Fall Apart and Unbowed: A Memoir
4. Citizens in Dark Times: Writing Politics in Persepolis and The Federalist Papers
5. Finding Words for the Art of Lying: Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”
6. Too-True Horrors: Cultural Fears in the Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Shirley Jackson
7. Hester Reimagined: The Scarlet Letter and “In the Blood”
8. Retooling the Epic Hero: How Much of These Hills is Gold and The Phantom Pain
9. Poetry of the Unsayable: M. NourbeSe Philip’s “Zong!” and T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets”
10. Writing into Life: The Woman Warrior and The Poet XSponsored by: Institute for Writing and Thinking.

Poetry, Translation, and the Circulation of Global Modernism: A Roundtable and Reading
Thursday, November 12, 2020
Online Event
To receive the Zoom invitation for this event, please email amoody@bard.edu. Invitations will be sent out on the morning of the event.
Global modernism exists only in translation. Its condition of possibility is the circulation of texts through time and space, across languages and in languages that are not the texts’ own. Historically speaking, the texts we think of as modernist are, almost without exception, the products of lively eras of translation in an expanded sense that reaches beyond the strict remit of textual translation between languages. In order to have global modernism, then, there must be translation and, necessarily, its distortions. Global modernism, by foregrounding this established problematic of translation in the context of an awareness of the unevenness of global exchange, highlights the centrality of language politics to modernist literary creation.
The study of global modernism, too, relies on active and continuous translation efforts. Contemporary translators, many of them themselves practicing poets or writers, are increasingly making available modernisms from around the world. In doing so, they underscore the extent to which modernists so often regarded translation as a primary creative act rather than secondary or derivative one.
This roundtable and reading features the work of four scholars and translators of modernist poetry who contributed original translations to the anthology Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020) and whose efforts shine illuminating cross-lights on the modernist labour of translation. As several of our participants are also practicing multilingual poets, the event will offer an occasion to listen to and reflect on the contemporary legacies of modernist poetics.
This conversation, held under the shared auspices of the Literature Program at Bard College and Concordia University’s Centre for Expanded Poetics, is the second in a three-part series exploring global modernism, in celebration of the anthology. It was preceded by a roundtable on “Editing Global Modernism,” held on October 23, and will be followed by a workshop on pedagogy and global modernism on Friday, December 4, 1:30–4:30pm EST.

Every election is a historic event one way or another, but the 2020 U.S. elections were unique. While the result is usually clear on the night of the election, this year millions of Americans voted early, either in person or by mail because of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the delay in counting all the votes, the race for the White House between Donald Trump and Joe Biden remained unresolved for four days, and even after Joe Biden had become the projected winner, Donald Trump refused to concede, tweeted about alleged fraud, and declared to go to court.
The first event of the recently established Democracy Institute at Central European University will discuss the broader implications of the elections. The speakers, Stephen Holmes (New York University), Michael Ignatieff (CEU), David Runciman (Cambridge University) and Nadia Urbinati (Columbia University) will focus on how the outcomes might affect the evolution of democracy in the USA and worldwide.Sponsored by: Center for Civic Engagement.

When I was in 4th grade and we started to do word problems, I discovered that (1) I was really good at them, (2) I could explain to my friends how to do them, and (3) doing this gave me a lot of pleasure. From that moment on, being a science teacher was the central focus of my life. That has shaped how I look at the physical world (I need to understand this phenomenon well enough to explain it clearly), my professional life (almost everything I work on or read will eventually end up in a classroom), and how I have lived my life (seeking out other curious and engaged people). As this chapter in my life closes, I want to take my listeners through a couple of big ideas as illustrations of how I do physics, teach it, and how this reflects my approach to life.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Chapter & Verse:
The Gospel of James Baldwin
Tuesday, September 15, 2020 – Thursday, December 31, 2020
UPSTREAMINGInspired by the writing of James Baldwin
Created by Meshell Ndegeocello
In collaboration with Charlotte Brathwaite
Featuring the contributions of Staceyann Chin, Suné Woods, Nicholas Galanin, Paul Thompson '93, Justin Hicks, and more.
A Co-Production of Bismillah, LLC and Fisher Center at Bard
Co-Commissioned by Live Arts Bard, UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre, and Festival de Marseille.
“No label, no slogan, no party, no skin color, and no religion is more important than the human being.”—James Baldwin
A project inspired by James Baldwin’s truth-telling treatise on justice in the United States, The Fire Next Time, and our endlessly changing world. Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin is a 21st-century ritual tool kit for justice. A call for revolution. A gift during turbulent times.
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace—not in the infantile American sense of being made happy—but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” —James Baldwin
Each month, September–December 2020, we offer gifts—music, thoughts, meditations, and visual testimonies of resilience—inspired by James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time.
“This is my offering to you. This is a different experience so I hope you have an open mind or at least an open heart. I see James Baldwin as an Orisha, his writing as the living word. I wanted to pay homage to him and to the time and effort it took to sit, to physically and emotionally fill the page with a truth that made my own sorrow feel less lonely. He put me on a path of empathy and humility towards my parents. It humbled me towards my mother born in 1944 and my father born in 1939—a time I can’t imagine living in while black.” —Meshell

IWT Writer as Reader Workshops - Online
Friday, November 6, 2020
9:30 am – 4:30 pm
Olin Humanities BuildingWe are excited to announce that both the October 2 and November 6 Bard College IWT Writer as Reader Workshops will be held online.
Writer as Reader workshops model writing practices that inspire students to read more carefully, to grasp the meaning in more complex texts, and to infer meaning from what they read. These workshops invite secondary and college teachers to consider “writing to read” as a central classroom practice, one that shows rather than tells students how writing clarifies the meaning of texts. Working with diverse writing-to-read strategies, workshop participants discover what they bring to the text, what is apparent in the text, what is inferred, and what questions the text poses.
As always, the lineup includes sessions on novels, poetry, nonfiction, historical documents, STEM texts, and other media. Each workshop will highlight writing-to-read strategies that foster close reading and help readers develop an appreciation for the connections between different but related texts.
1. Re-reading Toni Morrison: Black Feminism, Labor, and Love
2. “Ocular Proof”: Reading Othello in an Age of Mass Incarceration
3. The Place of the Writer in the “Widening Gyre”: Things Fall Apart and Unbowed: A Memoir
4. Citizens in Dark Times: Writing Politics in Persepolis and The Federalist Papers
5. Finding Words for the Art of Lying: Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”
6. Too-True Horrors: Cultural Fears in the Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Shirley Jackson
7. Hester Reimagined: The Scarlet Letter and “In the Blood”
8. Retooling the Epic Hero: How Much of These Hills is Gold and The Phantom Pain
9. Poetry of the Unsayable: M. NourbeSe Philip’s “Zong!” and T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets”
10. Writing into Life: The Woman Warrior and The Poet XSponsored by: Institute for Writing and Thinking.

Poetry, Translation, and the Circulation of Global Modernism: A Roundtable and Reading
with Emily Drumsta, Klara Du Plessis, Ariel Resnikoff, and Sho Sugita
Moderated by Alys Moody and Stephen Ross
Thursday, November 12, 2020
6–8 pm
Online EventTo receive the Zoom invitation for this event, please email amoody@bard.edu. Invitations will be sent out on the morning of the event.
Global modernism exists only in translation. Its condition of possibility is the circulation of texts through time and space, across languages and in languages that are not the texts’ own. Historically speaking, the texts we think of as modernist are, almost without exception, the products of lively eras of translation in an expanded sense that reaches beyond the strict remit of textual translation between languages. In order to have global modernism, then, there must be translation and, necessarily, its distortions. Global modernism, by foregrounding this established problematic of translation in the context of an awareness of the unevenness of global exchange, highlights the centrality of language politics to modernist literary creation.
The study of global modernism, too, relies on active and continuous translation efforts. Contemporary translators, many of them themselves practicing poets or writers, are increasingly making available modernisms from around the world. In doing so, they underscore the extent to which modernists so often regarded translation as a primary creative act rather than secondary or derivative one.
This roundtable and reading features the work of four scholars and translators of modernist poetry who contributed original translations to the anthology Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020) and whose efforts shine illuminating cross-lights on the modernist labour of translation. As several of our participants are also practicing multilingual poets, the event will offer an occasion to listen to and reflect on the contemporary legacies of modernist poetics.
This conversation, held under the shared auspices of the Literature Program at Bard College and Concordia University’s Centre for Expanded Poetics, is the second in a three-part series exploring global modernism, in celebration of the anthology. It was preceded by a roundtable on “Editing Global Modernism,” held on October 23, and will be followed by a workshop on pedagogy and global modernism on Friday, December 4, 1:30–4:30pm EST.
Speakers

Democracy in America: Reflections on the 2020 Elections
The first event of the Democracy Institute at Central European University will discuss the broader implications of the U.S. elections.
Monday, November 16, 2020
12–1 pm
Online EventThis event takes place at 12pm New York time and 6pm Vienna time.
Every election is a historic event one way or another, but the 2020 U.S. elections were unique. While the result is usually clear on the night of the election, this year millions of Americans voted early, either in person or by mail because of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the delay in counting all the votes, the race for the White House between Donald Trump and Joe Biden remained unresolved for four days, and even after Joe Biden had become the projected winner, Donald Trump refused to concede, tweeted about alleged fraud, and declared to go to court.
The first event of the recently established Democracy Institute at Central European University will discuss the broader implications of the elections. The speakers, Stephen Holmes (New York University), Michael Ignatieff (CEU), David Runciman (Cambridge University) and Nadia Urbinati (Columbia University) will focus on how the outcomes might affect the evolution of democracy in the USA and worldwide.Sponsored by: Center for Civic Engagement.

When I was in 4th grade and we started to do word problems, I discovered that (1) I was really good at them, (2) I could explain to my friends how to do them, and (3) doing this gave me a lot of pleasure. From that moment on, being a science teacher was the central focus of my life. That has shaped how I look at the physical world (I need to understand this phenomenon well enough to explain it clearly), my professional life (almost everything I work on or read will eventually end up in a classroom), and how I have lived my life (seeking out other curious and engaged people). As this chapter in my life closes, I want to take my listeners through a couple of big ideas as illustrations of how I do physics, teach it, and how this reflects my approach to life.Sponsored by: Physics Program.
