Coups, Cadavers, and Catastrophes: The Persian Gulf in the New Year

Tuesday, March 3, 2015
5:30–6:30 pm

Preston
The Persian Gulf region is never quiet, and the start of 2015 has been no exception: the death of the Saudi King; the collapse of the Yemeni government; the continued expansion of ISIS; and the new necessity of collaborating and negotiating with Iran, all foreshadow a year of major change, turmoil, and power shifts.

Join James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities Walter Russell Mead, Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program (BGIA) Director Jonathan Cristol, and Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern & Historical Studies Omar Cheta for a discussion of the current/latest instability in the Persian Gulf and its impact on both American grand strategy and specific policy decisions in the region.

Grammatical Gender and Biological Sex: The Invention of Heterosexuality in Ancient Rome

Anthony Philip Corbeill

Tuesday, March 3, 2015
6 pm

Olin, Room 102
This talk explores how the daily use by Latin speakers of a single linguistic category—grammatical gender—cultivates a sensitivity to the role of biological sex in Roman perceptions of both the human and more-than-human realms. The presentation has four parts: first, a demonstration that ancient scholars viewed grammatical gender as intricately connected with biological sex, even in the case of inanimate nouns; next the ways in which an awareness of this identification of grammar with biology enhances appreciation of Roman poetry; third, how the Romans imagined their earliest gods; and, finally, Roman attitudes toward human hermaphrodites and their visual representation. No knowledge of Latin, or of ancient Rome, is necessary.

A Lecture by
Anthony Philip Corbeill
Professor of Classics, University of Kansas
Blegen Research Fellow, Vassar College

National Climate Seminar: Food Security

Dave Battisti, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, and
Tamaki Endowed Chair, University of Washington

Wednesday, March 4, 2015
12–1 pm

Albee B102


David Battisti is The Tamaki Endowed Chair of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington. David received a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences (1988) from the University of Washington. He was an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin until 1990. Since then, he has been on the Faculty in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington, and has served as the Director of JISAO (1997-2003) and of the UW's Earth Initiative (2003-2006).

Battisti's research is focused on understanding the natural variability of the climate system. He is especially interested in understanding how the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, land and sea ice lead to variability in climate on time scales from seasonal to decades. His previous research includes coastal oceanography, the physics of the El Nino/Southern Osciallation (ENSO) phenomenon, midlatitude atmosphere/ocean variability and variability in the coupled atmosphere/sea ice system in the Arctic. Battisti is presently working to improve the El Nino models and their forecast skill, to understand the mechanisms responsible for the drought cycles in the Sahel, and to better understand the monsoons. He is also working on the impacts of climate variability and climate change on food production in Mexico, Indonesia and China.

Battisti's recent interests are in paleoclimate: in particular, the mechanisms responsible for the remarkable "abrupt" global climate changes evident throughout the last glacial period.

Battisti has served on numerous international science panels, on Committees of the National Research Council. He served for five years as co-chair of the Science Steering Committee for the U.S. Program on Climate (US CLIVAR) and is co-author of several international science plans. He has published over 100 papers in peer-review journals in atmospheric sciences and oceanography, and twice been awarded distinguished teaching awards.

Public Debate: Should Hate Speech Be Criminalized?

Wednesday, March 4, 2015
7–8:30 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Should there be limits to the freedom of speech? Or should the freedom of speech be defended and protected at all costs, even when speech becomes violent, racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.? Would a limitation on the freedom of speech necessarily be unconstitutional? Should hate speech be criminalized?
Please join us for a public debate in response to recent events all over the world that necessitate such a discussion.
Resolved: hate speech should be criminalized.

Sustainable Business Fridays: Corporate Sustainability Reporting, Assurance and Compliance 


Kristen Sullivan

Deloitte US

Friday, March 6, 2015
12–1 pm



Join the Bard MBA in Sustainability program for our twice-monthly dial-in conversation series over your lunchtime featuring sustainability leaders from the New York City area and across the planet.

On March 6th we will be discussing corporate sustainability reporting, assurrance and compliance with Kristen Sullivan from Deloitte US.

Recently in an interview in the Wall Street Journal about challenges facing CFO's, conflict minerals and the SEC's Conflict Minerals rule, Sullivan had this to say in response the the question,

WSJ: "What are you telling CFOs where to begin and what are some of the implementation issues they face?"

KS: "In addition to finance, the group should include representatives from legal, procurement, supply chain, sustainability, public policy and investor relations to support the effort from a governance structure. From CFOs’ perspective, such broad representation may provide them confidence that they’ve taken the appropriate measures and are in a position to conclude and report in the filings."




Sustainable Business Fridays convenes every first and fourth Friday of the month during the semester, with special guests selected by students in the Bard MBA in Sustainability program.

Contemporaneous Presents Self Portrait

Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the ensemble's first show at Bard, and featuring world premieres by Bard students and alumni!

Sunday, March 8, 2015
5–7 pm

Olin Hall
Sunday, March 8, 2015 | 5:00 pm

Olin Hall | Bard College
Free admission!

Self Portrait presents five works commissioned by Contemporaneous, including four world premieres and works by artists in the ensemble. The diverse pieces explore the rich, often complex, relationship between music and self-expression. Taken together, they offer a picture in sound of the ensemble at the present moment, informed by its history and imagining its future.

Tamzin Elliott (B.M., B.A., '16) whose work The New York Times has described as “effervescent” and “fresh,” has set her poetry to music in a new cycle of songs that feature soprano Lucy Dhegrae (M.M., '12). Drawing on disparate traditions, of songs for singer and large ensemble from Mahler to Frank Sinatra, Elliott’s music is intimate, vulnerable, and deeply affecting.

Dylan Mattingly's (B.M., B. A., '14) Lighthouse (Refugee Music by a Pacific Expatriate) is inspired by the composer's hometown San Francisco Bay, while Finnegan Shanahan's (B.A., '14) Water Cycle (Music for a Hudson River Railroad Dream-Map) reflects on the river that stretches from New York City up through Shanahan’s native Hudson Valley.

Impulses, by Brazilian composer and Contemporaneous clarinetist Vicente Alexim, is marked by high-energy bursts to propel and shape its dramatic transformations. Contrasting with this is the serene beauty of Still Life for Ensemble by Contemporaneous percussionist Matt Evans.

Reforming New York's Energy Vision

Tuesday, March 10, 2015
6–8 pm

Henderson 106
The energy industry is in transition. Technological innovation and increasing competitiveness of renewable energy resources, combined with aging infrastructure, extreme weather events, and system security and resiliency needs, are all leading to significant changes in our electricity system.

In April 2014, Governor Cuomo announced a process to re-make the way energy is produced, sold, purchased, and used in New York State. The initiative, called "Reforming the Energy Vision" (REV), will align electric utility practices and the NY Public Service Commission’s regulatory model with technological advances that have created alternatives to traditional solutions to meeting electricity demand.

Bard College invites you to attend a panel on March 3rd to learn about the REV Proceedings and to hear from representatives from four key stakeholder organizations how their organizations are responding to the REV, what it represents for the current system, and what impact it will likely have on the future of energy production, distribution, and consumption in New York.

Panelists:
Rudy Stegemoeller, New York State Public Service Commission (PSC)
Tom Rumsey, New York Independent System Operator (NYISO)
Guy Sliker, New York Power Authority (NYPA)
Joe Hally, Central HudsonSponsored by: Bard Center for Environmental Policy.

Faculty Seminar

Wednesday, March 11, 2015
7 pm

Olin, Room 102

The End of Labor Unions. So what?

Presented by David Kettler

The industrial movement of organized labor, in the United States as in most modernized nations, was arguably among the most consequential political developments of the twentieth century.  If one reads the most authoritative political science studies of the 1970s, the key characterizations would have to do with the "welfare rights" institutionalized in the "welfare state," the universal rise in living standards ("new middle class") and the "pluralist" or "neo-corporatist" modes of democracy that built and sustained those arrangements.  This reading was as pervasive among conservative or radical critics as it was in the "mainstream" of informed political commentary.  To the extent that these readings were more than ideological counters to the Communist ideological threat, they were accurate.  And the better analysts knew that these arrangements were first of all a function of the place that organized labor had at various key bargaining tables.  If one looks at the present day labor union statistics in the places where they were a major factor, they have effectively ceased to matter, except in Scandinavia.  The question why? is a subject of specialized studies.  The question what then? is an urgent topic among union professionals and intellectuals.  But the modest topic of my talk is to share some indicators of the change, and to discuss some consequences.

Faculty and staff are invited to join us at 6:30 p.m. for a reception in the Olin Atrium prior to the event.

Curriculum Conversation

Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Friday, March 13, 2015
9:30 am – 4:30 pm

Olin Humanities and Olin Language Center
Sometimes a contemporary novel finds its way immediately into the classroom.  Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is, among other things, one of those novels.  Challenging the canon even as it immediately slots itself into that niche, Wao provides a crash-course in the recent, violent history of the Dominican Republic, and serves as a means to understanding immigration, exile, and return. Oscar, the ultimate outsider hero, is an overweight, nerdy Dominican teenager, transplanted to New Jersey.  No one gets him—he has no friends, no chance with girls, and his family is a financial and emotional mess—but he’s smart and somehow greater than his situation.  In creating such a layered text—complete with extended footnotes, shifting points of view, and withering, hilarious dialogue—author Junot Díaz asks readers to consider how this boy’s journey relates to two nations’ official and unofficial histories. 

 

IWT Curriculum Conversations foster innovative approaches to the teaching and reading of texts that contribute to our contemporary sense of an evolving American self.  Using writing-to-learn strategies, the day’s workshops will encourage participants to consider several important questions:  How does the novel’s use of varieties of diction—Spanglish, academic English, gaming jargon—tell us something new about how history is, or might be, written?  How does nerd culture cross the boundaries of immigrant and exile cultures?  And how might we situate Díaz’s stylistically- and structurally-innovative novel in relation to other classics of multicultural literature? 

 

Writing-to-learn practices are the starting point for a rigorous reading of the text through the lens of contemporary and historical nonfiction, fiction, and poetry.

This series of one-day workshop for teachers of all subjects will:

  • Explore how unexpected pairings of a variety of genres, including poetry, drama, and essay, with a major key text of the curriculum reorients and reinvigorates our reading of the text
  • Offer specific, take-away writing strategies for teaching the text next to historical, economic, and sociological documents—including primary documents—enabling truly cross-disciplinary collaboration with colleagues
  • Provide an opportunity for participants to share their current curricula with each other and engage in cross-disciplinary planning with a team of teachers from their own or other schools.

"Monumentality for the Masses"

Monday, March 23, 2015
4 pm

Preston

This lecture examines a series of texts, images, and architectural projects produced in 1930s and 1940s Argentina, and how they participated in the intellectual, poetic, and spatial construction of the city of Buenos Aires as both a real and imaginary site. Casa Amarilla, an unbuilt housing project designed by Antonio Bonet, brings together these various works in the context of the city's population growth and the country's unsteady politics. I argue Casa Amarilla countered the centralized power of the Argentinian state by shifting formal characteristics of monumentality and centrality from the elites to the disenfranchised masses, and inserting them into the city.

Yiddish Song Workshop

Wednesday, March 25, 2015
1:15–3:30 pm

Bard Hall
Ethel Raim (vocals) is a leading performer and teacher of the unaccompanied women’s Yiddish folksong tradition and is widely recognized for her expertise in both Yiddish and Balkan vocal traditions. She has had a distinguished career as a performer, workshop leader/singing teacher and recording artist for the Elektra/Nonesuch labels. She has taught unaccompanied Yiddish singing at KlezKamp, KlezKanada, Yiddish Summer Weimar, and at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Ms. Raim is additionally the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of New York's Center for Traditional Music and Dance (CTMD), one of the nation's preeminent traditional arts organizations. Through CTMD, she has worked closely with thousands of master immigrant musicians and dancers to assist them in preserving and presenting the traditions of their communities. In 1962 she co-founded and was musical director of the renowned Pennywhistlers, the all women's vocal ensemble that was among the first to bring traditional women’s singing traditions from the Balkans and East Europe to the North American folk music world. Formerly a research assistant to pioneering ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, from 1965 to 1975 Raim served as Music Editor of Sing Out! Magazine and additionally edited a number of important folksong collections. At CTMD, Raim has curated and overseen the production of hundreds of artistic presentations, as well as publications, recordings and film documentaries, and has developed many of the innovative program models for which CTMD is best known, including Community Cultural Initiatives - designed to establish and nurture community-based documentation, presentation, education, and cultural preservation in New York's immigrant communities. Raim received the prestigious American Folklore Society’s Benjamin Botkin Award in 2012 in recognition of her career impact on the field of public sector folklore.

This event will begin at Bard Hall at 1:15 with a brief lecture by Professor Cecile Kunitz on the Yiddish folklore collected during ethnographic expeditions spearheaded by S. An-sky in the Pale of Jewish Settlement, 1912-1914.

The workshop
will focus on unaccompanied Yiddish folksong with material drawn from the repertoires and style of traditional East European-born singers. Raim will primarily teach lyric love songs, the kind young girls often learned from their mothers, aunts and older sisters in pre-WW II Eastern Europe. She will emphasize vocal style, ornamentation and pronunciation, and will work to assist participants to hone their singing style and authentic expression. This workshop is open to all, but participants should be musically and linguistically prepared to really dig into the unaccompanied Yiddish folksong repertoire and style.
Co-sponsored by Jewish Studies and Bard Ethnomusicology.

Art and Creative Urban Activism in Russia

Anna Zhelnina, Associate Professor, Smolny College, Russia
Gagarin Human Rights Fellow, Bard College

Wednesday, March 25, 2015
5–6 pm

Olin, Room 102
In contemporary Russia, the transformation of political participation and disavowal of old political systems does not force people out of politics, but rather both changes the ways they participate and influences their living environments. One response to this change is DIY urbanism, a new form of contentious politics different from well-known Russian social movements. As citizens search for new ways to reclaim rights to their cities and to participate in decision making processes, often their attempts take the shape of creative initiatives and projects of direct action, not necessarily framed by political terms.

This talk will share a few examples of these ‘creative’ practices in urban activism, including street-art and grassroots initiatives using art and design to improve the urban environment. It will also argue that such initiatives can be analyzed as practices of Putin-era ‘neobohemians’, which do not succeed in reaching the wider urban public.

Dimming the Sun:
How Clouds and Air Pollution Affect Global Climate

Beate Liepert
Senior Research Scientist - Climate & Solar Energy
NorthWest Research Associates

Wednesday, March 25, 2015
7 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
While anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are well known contributors to global warming, the additional impact of short-lived air pollution (e.g. anthropogenic aerosols) is not well understood. The potential for this air pollution to modify climate or even mask global warming will be introduced and the wider implications of aerosol-induced global dimming, including geoengineering prospects, will be discussed.

Beate Liepert is scientist and artist. Climate change and specifically the cycling of water and energy in a changing world are overarching themes of her research. Highlights of her research are the discovery of the phenomenon “global dimming”, which is the increase in atmospheric transparency, and its responsibility for masking parts of the global warming signal in the 20th century. She further pioneered research on the causes of dimming and its implications for the water and carbon cycle on Earth. Beate received a PhD in Meteorology from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany.

In 1996 she moved to New York City to become Doherty Research Scientist at Columbia University. Beate contributed a section on global dimming to the IPCC 4th Assessment Report “Scientific Basis” (chapter 3.4.4.2) that won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2007. While living in New York City, Beate attended the Certificate Program of Fine Arts at Parsons New School of Design. She moved to Seattle in 2009, and became partner and principal investigator at NorthWest Research Associates, a cooperative for basic and applied research.

Beate’s current research focuses on shifting weather patterns with global warming, and novel solar energy innovations. As artist Beate collaborates with the Seattle based artist, educator and designer Marisa Vitiello on a series of automatism drawings. In 2015 Marisa and Beate have been selected by Spaceworks Tacoma to do an installation in the downtown storefront program and in the Evergreen Association of Fine Arts Gallery Open Abstract Show in Seattle Washington.

First-Year Seminar Plenary Session 2

Monday, March 30, 2015
4:45–6:15 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater

From Play to Opera: Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck and Alban Berg’s Wozzeck


Presented by Christopher Gibbs, Bard College

Alban Berg’s opera Wozzeck is hardly easy listening, either at its 1925 premiere in Berlin or today. Yet from the very beginning not only did composers, performers, and critics embrace the work, but so too did a much broader public. Various factors contribute to its enduring success and potent influence. One is the compelling story and brilliant libretto. Georg Büchner’s unfinished play Woyzeck, which Berg adapted, dates from 1837, the year the playwright died at age 23. From Büchner’s scattered fragments, Berg crafted a tightly organized work of musical theater. This lecture will consider the process of transformation from words to music and include screenings of selected scenes of both the play and opera.

Building the Case: Design and Media at the International Military Tribunal, c. 1945

Olga Touloumi, Harvard University

Tuesday, March 31, 2015
4:30 pm

Reem-Kayden Center, Lecture Hall A
During four short months in the summer of 1945, the Office of Strategic Services, IBM, and landscape architect Dan Kiley prepared Courtroom 600 for the Nuremberg Trials. Planned as a “world spectacle,” the project required a wide mobilization of resources and technologies that crossed national and institutional boundaries. Scholars have extensively discussed the legal and diplomatic history of the International Military Tribunal, along with its implications for international law in the post-World War II period, but little attention has been paid to the position of the courtroom itself in this seminal event.

This lecture will unravel the role of design and architecture in the Nuremberg Trials, explaining that both served to produce international law as an integral component of the world organization that the United Nations announced. By looking into the series of projects that led to the final courtroom design, I will discuss the debates on representation, mediation, and participation that informed this interior. Ultimately, I argue, in the Nuremberg Courtroom designers and officials reconceived architecture as a mobile technology to transfer and implement models of legal space across expansive and contested networks of global communication.

Becoming States: Reflections on Faltering State-Building in Central Asia

Tuesday, March 31, 2015
5:30 pm

Hegeman 204
Emil Dzhuraev
Center for Civic Engagement Teaching Fellow
Associate Professor, International and Comparative Politics
American University of Central Asia

As the five Central Asian states approach their first twenty-five years of independence, just how far they have gone toward modern statehood is an issue opened up to questions by a growing number of studies in politics of the region. While many outward traits of statehood have been easily adopted and looked becoming to these countries, a closer look reveals how problematic it has been for all five of them to actually become viable and stable states. The challenges these countries have faced, represented under the common rubric of their "post-soviet condition," allow some critical reflections on the predicament of modern state-building—or, of political constitution.

Coups, Cadavers, and Catastrophes: The Persian Gulf in the New Year

Tuesday, March 3, 2015
5:30–6:30 pm

Preston
The Persian Gulf region is never quiet, and the start of 2015 has been no exception: the death of the Saudi King; the collapse of the Yemeni government; the continued expansion of ISIS; and the new necessity of collaborating and negotiating with Iran, all foreshadow a year of major change, turmoil, and power shifts.

Join James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities Walter Russell Mead, Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program (BGIA) Director Jonathan Cristol, and Assistant Professor of Middle Eastern & Historical Studies Omar Cheta for a discussion of the current/latest instability in the Persian Gulf and its impact on both American grand strategy and specific policy decisions in the region.

Grammatical Gender and Biological Sex: The Invention of Heterosexuality in Ancient Rome

Anthony Philip Corbeill

Tuesday, March 3, 2015
6 pm

Olin, Room 102
This talk explores how the daily use by Latin speakers of a single linguistic category—grammatical gender—cultivates a sensitivity to the role of biological sex in Roman perceptions of both the human and more-than-human realms. The presentation has four parts: first, a demonstration that ancient scholars viewed grammatical gender as intricately connected with biological sex, even in the case of inanimate nouns; next the ways in which an awareness of this identification of grammar with biology enhances appreciation of Roman poetry; third, how the Romans imagined their earliest gods; and, finally, Roman attitudes toward human hermaphrodites and their visual representation. No knowledge of Latin, or of ancient Rome, is necessary.

National Climate Seminar: Food Security

Dave Battisti, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, and
Tamaki Endowed Chair, University of Washington

Wednesday, March 4, 2015
12–1 pm

Albee B102


David Battisti is The Tamaki Endowed Chair of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington. David received a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences (1988) from the University of Washington. He was an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin until 1990. Since then, he has been on the Faculty in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington, and has served as the Director of JISAO (1997-2003) and of the UW's Earth Initiative (2003-2006).

Battisti's research is focused on understanding the natural variability of the climate system. He is especially interested in understanding how the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, land and sea ice lead to variability in climate on time scales from seasonal to decades. His previous research includes coastal oceanography, the physics of the El Nino/Southern Osciallation (ENSO) phenomenon, midlatitude atmosphere/ocean variability and variability in the coupled atmosphere/sea ice system in the Arctic. Battisti is presently working to improve the El Nino models and their forecast skill, to understand the mechanisms responsible for the drought cycles in the Sahel, and to better understand the monsoons. He is also working on the impacts of climate variability and climate change on food production in Mexico, Indonesia and China.

Battisti's recent interests are in paleoclimate: in particular, the mechanisms responsible for the remarkable "abrupt" global climate changes evident throughout the last glacial period.

Battisti has served on numerous international science panels, on Committees of the National Research Council. He served for five years as co-chair of the Science Steering Committee for the U.S. Program on Climate (US CLIVAR) and is co-author of several international science plans. He has published over 100 papers in peer-review journals in atmospheric sciences and oceanography, and twice been awarded distinguished teaching awards.

Sustainable Business Fridays: Corporate Sustainability Reporting, Assurance and Compliance 


Kristen Sullivan

Deloitte US

Friday, March 6, 2015
12–1 pm



Join the Bard MBA in Sustainability program for our twice-monthly dial-in conversation series over your lunchtime featuring sustainability leaders from the New York City area and across the planet.

On March 6th we will be discussing corporate sustainability reporting, assurrance and compliance with Kristen Sullivan from Deloitte US.

Recently in an interview in the Wall Street Journal about challenges facing CFO's, conflict minerals and the SEC's Conflict Minerals rule, Sullivan had this to say in response the the question,

WSJ: "What are you telling CFOs where to begin and what are some of the implementation issues they face?"

KS: "In addition to finance, the group should include representatives from legal, procurement, supply chain, sustainability, public policy and investor relations to support the effort from a governance structure. From CFOs’ perspective, such broad representation may provide them confidence that they’ve taken the appropriate measures and are in a position to conclude and report in the filings."




Sustainable Business Fridays convenes every first and fourth Friday of the month during the semester, with special guests selected by students in the Bard MBA in Sustainability program.

Contemporaneous Presents Self Portrait

Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the ensemble's first show at Bard, and featuring world premieres by Bard students and alumni!

Sunday, March 8, 2015
5–7 pm

Olin Hall
Sunday, March 8, 2015 | 5:00 pm

Olin Hall | Bard College
Free admission!

Self Portrait presents five works commissioned by Contemporaneous, including four world premieres and works by artists in the ensemble. The diverse pieces explore the rich, often complex, relationship between music and self-expression. Taken together, they offer a picture in sound of the ensemble at the present moment, informed by its history and imagining its future.

Tamzin Elliott (B.M., B.A., '16) whose work The New York Times has described as “effervescent” and “fresh,” has set her poetry to music in a new cycle of songs that feature soprano Lucy Dhegrae (M.M., '12). Drawing on disparate traditions, of songs for singer and large ensemble from Mahler to Frank Sinatra, Elliott’s music is intimate, vulnerable, and deeply affecting.

Dylan Mattingly's (B.M., B. A., '14) Lighthouse (Refugee Music by a Pacific Expatriate) is inspired by the composer's hometown San Francisco Bay, while Finnegan Shanahan's (B.A., '14) Water Cycle (Music for a Hudson River Railroad Dream-Map) reflects on the river that stretches from New York City up through Shanahan’s native Hudson Valley.

Impulses, by Brazilian composer and Contemporaneous clarinetist Vicente Alexim, is marked by high-energy bursts to propel and shape its dramatic transformations. Contrasting with this is the serene beauty of Still Life for Ensemble by Contemporaneous percussionist Matt Evans.

Reforming New York's Energy Vision

Tuesday, March 10, 2015
6–8 pm

Henderson 106
The energy industry is in transition. Technological innovation and increasing competitiveness of renewable energy resources, combined with aging infrastructure, extreme weather events, and system security and resiliency needs, are all leading to significant changes in our electricity system.

In April 2014, Governor Cuomo announced a process to re-make the way energy is produced, sold, purchased, and used in New York State. The initiative, called "Reforming the Energy Vision" (REV), will align electric utility practices and the NY Public Service Commission’s regulatory model with technological advances that have created alternatives to traditional solutions to meeting electricity demand.

Bard College invites you to attend a panel on March 3rd to learn about the REV Proceedings and to hear from representatives from four key stakeholder organizations how their organizations are responding to the REV, what it represents for the current system, and what impact it will likely have on the future of energy production, distribution, and consumption in New York.

Panelists:
Rudy Stegemoeller, New York State Public Service Commission (PSC)
Tom Rumsey, New York Independent System Operator (NYISO)
Guy Sliker, New York Power Authority (NYPA)
Joe Hally, Central HudsonSponsored by: Bard Center for Environmental Policy.

Faculty Seminar

Wednesday, March 11, 2015
7 pm

Olin, Room 102

The End of Labor Unions. So what?

Presented by David Kettler

The industrial movement of organized labor, in the United States as in most modernized nations, was arguably among the most consequential political developments of the twentieth century.  If one reads the most authoritative political science studies of the 1970s, the key characterizations would have to do with the "welfare rights" institutionalized in the "welfare state," the universal rise in living standards ("new middle class") and the "pluralist" or "neo-corporatist" modes of democracy that built and sustained those arrangements.  This reading was as pervasive among conservative or radical critics as it was in the "mainstream" of informed political commentary.  To the extent that these readings were more than ideological counters to the Communist ideological threat, they were accurate.  And the better analysts knew that these arrangements were first of all a function of the place that organized labor had at various key bargaining tables.  If one looks at the present day labor union statistics in the places where they were a major factor, they have effectively ceased to matter, except in Scandinavia.  The question why? is a subject of specialized studies.  The question what then? is an urgent topic among union professionals and intellectuals.  But the modest topic of my talk is to share some indicators of the change, and to discuss some consequences.

Faculty and staff are invited to join us at 6:30 p.m. for a reception in the Olin Atrium prior to the event.

Curriculum Conversation

Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Friday, March 13, 2015
9:30 am – 4:30 pm

Olin Humanities and Olin Language Center
Sometimes a contemporary novel finds its way immediately into the classroom.  Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is, among other things, one of those novels.  Challenging the canon even as it immediately slots itself into that niche, Wao provides a crash-course in the recent, violent history of the Dominican Republic, and serves as a means to understanding immigration, exile, and return. Oscar, the ultimate outsider hero, is an overweight, nerdy Dominican teenager, transplanted to New Jersey.  No one gets him—he has no friends, no chance with girls, and his family is a financial and emotional mess—but he’s smart and somehow greater than his situation.  In creating such a layered text—complete with extended footnotes, shifting points of view, and withering, hilarious dialogue—author Junot Díaz asks readers to consider how this boy’s journey relates to two nations’ official and unofficial histories. 

 

IWT Curriculum Conversations foster innovative approaches to the teaching and reading of texts that contribute to our contemporary sense of an evolving American self.  Using writing-to-learn strategies, the day’s workshops will encourage participants to consider several important questions:  How does the novel’s use of varieties of diction—Spanglish, academic English, gaming jargon—tell us something new about how history is, or might be, written?  How does nerd culture cross the boundaries of immigrant and exile cultures?  And how might we situate Díaz’s stylistically- and structurally-innovative novel in relation to other classics of multicultural literature? 

 

Writing-to-learn practices are the starting point for a rigorous reading of the text through the lens of contemporary and historical nonfiction, fiction, and poetry.

This series of one-day workshop for teachers of all subjects will:

  • Explore how unexpected pairings of a variety of genres, including poetry, drama, and essay, with a major key text of the curriculum reorients and reinvigorates our reading of the text
  • Offer specific, take-away writing strategies for teaching the text next to historical, economic, and sociological documents—including primary documents—enabling truly cross-disciplinary collaboration with colleagues
  • Provide an opportunity for participants to share their current curricula with each other and engage in cross-disciplinary planning with a team of teachers from their own or other schools.

8:30am-4:30pm

Workshop fee: $250 (includes morning coffee, lunch, and anthology of related readings)

"Monumentality for the Masses"

Monday, March 23, 2015
4 pm

Preston

This lecture examines a series of texts, images, and architectural projects produced in 1930s and 1940s Argentina, and how they participated in the intellectual, poetic, and spatial construction of the city of Buenos Aires as both a real and imaginary site. Casa Amarilla, an unbuilt housing project designed by Antonio Bonet, brings together these various works in the context of the city's population growth and the country's unsteady politics. I argue Casa Amarilla countered the centralized power of the Argentinian state by shifting formal characteristics of monumentality and centrality from the elites to the disenfranchised masses, and inserting them into the city.

Yiddish Song Workshop

Wednesday, March 25, 2015
1:15–3:30 pm

Bard Hall
Ethel Raim (vocals) is a leading performer and teacher of the unaccompanied women’s Yiddish folksong tradition and is widely recognized for her expertise in both Yiddish and Balkan vocal traditions. She has had a distinguished career as a performer, workshop leader/singing teacher and recording artist for the Elektra/Nonesuch labels. She has taught unaccompanied Yiddish singing at KlezKamp, KlezKanada, Yiddish Summer Weimar, and at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Ms. Raim is additionally the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of New York's Center for Traditional Music and Dance (CTMD), one of the nation's preeminent traditional arts organizations. Through CTMD, she has worked closely with thousands of master immigrant musicians and dancers to assist them in preserving and presenting the traditions of their communities. In 1962 she co-founded and was musical director of the renowned Pennywhistlers, the all women's vocal ensemble that was among the first to bring traditional women’s singing traditions from the Balkans and East Europe to the North American folk music world. Formerly a research assistant to pioneering ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, from 1965 to 1975 Raim served as Music Editor of Sing Out! Magazine and additionally edited a number of important folksong collections. At CTMD, Raim has curated and overseen the production of hundreds of artistic presentations, as well as publications, recordings and film documentaries, and has developed many of the innovative program models for which CTMD is best known, including Community Cultural Initiatives - designed to establish and nurture community-based documentation, presentation, education, and cultural preservation in New York's immigrant communities. Raim received the prestigious American Folklore Society’s Benjamin Botkin Award in 2012 in recognition of her career impact on the field of public sector folklore.

This event will begin at Bard Hall at 1:15 with a brief lecture by Professor Cecile Kunitz on the Yiddish folklore collected during ethnographic expeditions spearheaded by S. An-sky in the Pale of Jewish Settlement, 1912-1914.

The workshop
will focus on unaccompanied Yiddish folksong with material drawn from the repertoires and style of traditional East European-born singers. Raim will primarily teach lyric love songs, the kind young girls often learned from their mothers, aunts and older sisters in pre-WW II Eastern Europe. She will emphasize vocal style, ornamentation and pronunciation, and will work to assist participants to hone their singing style and authentic expression. This workshop is open to all, but participants should be musically and linguistically prepared to really dig into the unaccompanied Yiddish folksong repertoire and style.
Co-sponsored by Jewish Studies and Bard Ethnomusicology.

Art and Creative Urban Activism in Russia

Anna Zhelnina, Associate Professor, Smolny College, Russia
Gagarin Human Rights Fellow, Bard College

Wednesday, March 25, 2015
5–6 pm

Olin, Room 102
In contemporary Russia, the transformation of political participation and disavowal of old political systems does not force people out of politics, but rather both changes the ways they participate and influences their living environments. One response to this change is DIY urbanism, a new form of contentious politics different from well-known Russian social movements. As citizens search for new ways to reclaim rights to their cities and to participate in decision making processes, often their attempts take the shape of creative initiatives and projects of direct action, not necessarily framed by political terms.

This talk will share a few examples of these ‘creative’ practices in urban activism, including street-art and grassroots initiatives using art and design to improve the urban environment. It will also argue that such initiatives can be analyzed as practices of Putin-era ‘neobohemians’, which do not succeed in reaching the wider urban public.

Dimming the Sun:
How Clouds and Air Pollution Affect Global Climate

Beate Liepert
Senior Research Scientist - Climate & Solar Energy
NorthWest Research Associates

Wednesday, March 25, 2015
7 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
While anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are well known contributors to global warming, the additional impact of short-lived air pollution (e.g. anthropogenic aerosols) is not well understood. The potential for this air pollution to modify climate or even mask global warming will be introduced and the wider implications of aerosol-induced global dimming, including geoengineering prospects, will be discussed.

Beate Liepert is scientist and artist. Climate change and specifically the cycling of water and energy in a changing world are overarching themes of her research. Highlights of her research are the discovery of the phenomenon “global dimming”, which is the increase in atmospheric transparency, and its responsibility for masking parts of the global warming signal in the 20th century. She further pioneered research on the causes of dimming and its implications for the water and carbon cycle on Earth. Beate received a PhD in Meteorology from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany.

In 1996 she moved to New York City to become Doherty Research Scientist at Columbia University. Beate contributed a section on global dimming to the IPCC 4th Assessment Report “Scientific Basis” (chapter 3.4.4.2) that won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2007. While living in New York City, Beate attended the Certificate Program of Fine Arts at Parsons New School of Design. She moved to Seattle in 2009, and became partner and principal investigator at NorthWest Research Associates, a cooperative for basic and applied research.

Beate’s current research focuses on shifting weather patterns with global warming, and novel solar energy innovations. As artist Beate collaborates with the Seattle based artist, educator and designer Marisa Vitiello on a series of automatism drawings. In 2015 Marisa and Beate have been selected by Spaceworks Tacoma to do an installation in the downtown storefront program and in the Evergreen Association of Fine Arts Gallery Open Abstract Show in Seattle Washington.

First-Year Seminar Plenary Session 2

Monday, March 30, 2015
4:45–6:15 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater

From Play to Opera: Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck and Alban Berg’s Wozzeck


Presented by Christopher Gibbs, Bard College

Alban Berg’s opera Wozzeck is hardly easy listening, either at its 1925 premiere in Berlin or today. Yet from the very beginning not only did composers, performers, and critics embrace the work, but so too did a much broader public. Various factors contribute to its enduring success and potent influence. One is the compelling story and brilliant libretto. Georg Büchner’s unfinished play Woyzeck, which Berg adapted, dates from 1837, the year the playwright died at age 23. From Büchner’s scattered fragments, Berg crafted a tightly organized work of musical theater. This lecture will consider the process of transformation from words to music and include screenings of selected scenes of both the play and opera.

Building the Case: Design and Media at the International Military Tribunal, c. 1945

Olga Touloumi, Harvard University

Tuesday, March 31, 2015
4:30 pm

Reem-Kayden Center, Lecture Hall A
During four short months in the summer of 1945, the Office of Strategic Services, IBM, and landscape architect Dan Kiley prepared Courtroom 600 for the Nuremberg Trials. Planned as a “world spectacle,” the project required a wide mobilization of resources and technologies that crossed national and institutional boundaries. Scholars have extensively discussed the legal and diplomatic history of the International Military Tribunal, along with its implications for international law in the post-World War II period, but little attention has been paid to the position of the courtroom itself in this seminal event.

This lecture will unravel the role of design and architecture in the Nuremberg Trials, explaining that both served to produce international law as an integral component of the world organization that the United Nations announced. By looking into the series of projects that led to the final courtroom design, I will discuss the debates on representation, mediation, and participation that informed this interior. Ultimately, I argue, in the Nuremberg Courtroom designers and officials reconceived architecture as a mobile technology to transfer and implement models of legal space across expansive and contested networks of global communication.

As the five Central Asian states approach their first twenty-five years of independence, just how far they have gone toward modern statehood is an issue opened up to questions by a growing number of studies in politics of the region. While many outward traits of statehood have been easily adopted and looked becoming to these countries, a closer look reveals how problematic it has been for all five of them to actually become viable and stable states. The challenges these countries have faced, represented under the common rubric of their "post-soviet condition," allow some critical reflections on the predicament of modern state-building—or, of political constitution.
