Discussion | Israel on Our Minds with Ambassador Ido Aharoni (in-person and online)
Even those of us who follow the news from Israeli regularly are left with more questions than insight: How should we think about Israel security in the face of a rapidly changing Middle East? What is the government doing in response to the worldwide condemnation of the Jewish State . . . and what could it do? Has the Start-Up Nation sputtered out? Can the breach between the religious and the secular populations be healed -- and how? Does the Israeli government take the concerns and opinions of the Jewish diaspora seriously enough? Should it? With so many questions -- and so much confusion -- they have recruited the ideal person to pull back the curtain on the complicated situation: an Israel diplomat, university professor, writer and investor, Ido Aharoni.

Opening Reception | Christopher Spinelli: Brooklyn Dreamland, Land without Shadows: Paintings of a Bygone Coney Island
An exhibition of paintings and drawings by Christopher Spinelli depicting a bygone era of Coney Island. In the late 1980s, Spinelli was encouraged by illustrator Robert Weaver to get out of the studio and explore real life. Childhood trips piled in his father's car in search of crinkle-cut fries led him to the B train, where he rode to the end of the line. Equipped with a sketch pad and Polaroid camera, Spinelli produced many drawings and images of the then-declining amusement site. Regarding these initial works, he states, "I began talking to the denizens of Coney Island, who were usually huddled in and around Nathan's for warmth; I drew them while they regaled me with their stories. Some of those first sketches are included in this exhibit." Inspired by buzzing neon signs and accumulated layers of peeling paint, Spinelli began producing the wonderfully garish acrylic works featured in this exhibition.

Spanning from the early 1970s to the present, this focused survey is the first to highlight Diao's bold and sophisticated use of color, exploring its diverse perceptual, semantic, and symbolic roles over the past fifty years.

Book Discussion | The Chief Rabbi's Funeral: The Untold Story of America's Largest Antisemitic Riot (online)
On July 30, 1902, tens of thousands of mourners lined the streets of New York's Lower East Side to bid farewell to the city's chief rabbi, the eminent Talmudist Jacob Joseph. All went well until the procession crossed Sheriff Street, where the six-story R. Hoe and Company printing press factory towered over the intersection. Without warning, scraps of steel, iron bolts, and scalding water rained down and injured hundreds of mourners, courtesy of antisemitic factory workers, accompanied by insults and racial slurs. The police compounded the attack when they arrived on the scene: under orders from the inspector in charge, who made no effort to distinguish aggressors from victims, his officers began beating up Jews, injuring dozens. To the Yiddish-language daily Forward, the bloody attack on Jews was not unlike the pogroms many Jews remembered bitterly from the Old Country, although no one was killed. But this was America, and Jews were now present in sufficient numbers, and possessed sufficient political clout, to fight back. Fed up with being persecuted, New York's Jews set a pattern for the future by deftly pursuing justice for the victims. They forced trials and disciplinary hearings, accelerated retirements and transfers within the corrupt police department, and engineered the resignation of the police commissioner. Scott D. Seligman's The Chief Rabbi's Funeral is the first book-length account of this event and its aftermath.

Film | October H8TE (2024): The New Iteration of the Oldest Hatred, with Debra Messing
The documentary looks at the emergence of anti-Semitism on college campuses, in social media and on the streets since October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel. Almost immediately after the Hamas massacre of October 7, the world pivoted into a dystopian nightmare with the narrative rewritten, turning murderers into freedom fighters and victims into aggressors. Ivy League presidents refused to condemn calls for the genocide of Jews as violations of their campuses' codes of conduct. The sexual assault and rape of Israeli women was ignored, dismissed, even denied. And a tsunami of online antisemitism followed. How did we get to this moment, when "Hamas in America" became not a right-wing talking point but a reality manifesting itself from Cambridge to Los Angeles? The new documentary film October H8TE seeks to answer that question by examining intersectionality, why social justice activists align themselves with reactionary organizations, the influence of funding and messaging linked to Hamas and the "curious" amount of antisemitic content flooding social media linked to Iranian, Russian and Chinese IP addresses. The film's message is simple: Jewish or not, you need to care about this latest wave of antisemitism because Jews and Israel aren't its only targets: The mobs shouting "Globalize the Intifada" are, ultimately, attacking truth, democracy and a free society. The film includes interviews with Debra Messing, Michael Rapaport, Mosab Yousef (son of Hamas's cofounder), Sheryl Sandberg, US Representative Ritchie Torres, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, US Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, Dan Senor, Noa Tishby, Bari Weiss and Douglas Murray. After the screening, we will be joined for a discussion with its director, Wendy Sachs, and Debra Messing, the film's executive producer.

Book Discussion | The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant: A Short Story Master
Editor Garth Risk Hallberg discusses this collection of over thirty short stories by one of the greatest fiction writers in American history, now available in a single volume for the first time ever. Mavis Gallant’s extraordinary mastery of the short story remains insufficiently recognized. She may be the best writer of stories since the early-1950s prime of John Cheever, Eudora Welty, and Flannery O’Connor, and even in such august company, her work is sui generis. Gallant’s short fiction refines the art of the story even as it expands the boundaries of what a story can be. Above and beyond that, however, it constitutes a striking, almost avant-garde reduction. To read her is to discover something about the very nature of story: how for better or worse life is caught up in it, and how on the page that common predicament can come to life.

Discussion | Arturo A. Schomburg Lecture and Conversation
January 24 marks the anniversary of the birth of Afro-Puerto Rican scholar Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (1874-1938), a writer, bibliophile, and historian dedicated to the collection and amplification of the artistic and academic work of people of African descent. Schomburg's seed collection to the Division of Negro Literature, History and Prints included more than 5,000 books; 3,000 manuscripts; 2,000 etchings and paintings; and several thousand pamphlets. This year's annual lecture will feature members from the teams at Fisk University, who, in partnership, are creating a digital edition of the archival papers of Arturo Schomburg, the bibliophile who built two of the world’s most important collections on Black history—one in Harlem and another in Nashville. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Vanessa K. Valdes, author of Diasporic Blackness: The Life and Times of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (2017).

Gallery Talk | Bearing Witness: Black Printmakers “Calling Out” America! (in-person and online)
An engaging conversation with esteemed scholar and historian Leslie King Hammond. This presentation reflects on the artistry of African American printmakers in the era of President Roosevelt’s Works Project Administration of 1935 to 1941, work that had a powerful impact on subsequent generations of Black printmakers. Each artist–then and now–sought to create original and truthful prints in their chosen mediums and modalities to “signify on” (or indirectly criticize) the realities of their lives as citizens in the United States. Leslie King Hammond is an art historian, artist, curator, educator, community innovator, and Professor Emerita, former Dean of Graduate Studies, and Project Director for the Ford Foundation-Philip Morris Fellowships for Artists of Color, and Founding Director of the Center of Race and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of Art.

Book Discussion | The Vietnam War: A Military History (online)
Based on thousands of pages of military, diplomatic, and intelligence documents, Geoffrey Wawro’s book offers a definitive account of a war of choice that was doomed from its inception. In devastating detail, Wawro narrates campaigns where US troops struggled even to find the enemy in the South Vietnamese wilderness, let alone kill sufficient numbers to turn the tide in their favor. Yet the war dragged on, prolonged by presidents and military leaders who feared the political consequences of accepting defeat. In the end, no number of young lives lost or bombs dropped could prevent America’s ally, the corrupt South Vietnamese regime, from collapsing the moment US troops retreated.

Lecture | Family Separation and Antisemitism: Reconstructing the Migrations of Jewish Siblings from Poland Across the Early 20th Century (in-person and online)
The lecture presents a collective biography of Jewish Siblings from the Polish town of Lubartów from the early 1920s through the 1950s. The five siblings traverse the globe in an attempt to evade antisemitism. Their journeys take them to various locations, including Germany, England, France, Venezuela, Colombia, and the Auschwitz concentration camp. Some of them survived the Holocaust, while others were murdered. By combining a transnational perspective with a microhistorical methodology, this lecture addresses the relations between migrations and persecution. Speaker Claire Zalc is Research Director at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS, France) and a professor at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS, France).

Book Discussion | New York Nico's Guide to NYC by Nicolas Heller
“Unofficial talent scout of NYC,” filmmaker, and social media icon New York Nico sits down to discuss his new guidebook, featuring his top 100 New York institutions, shops, and eateries and the characters who shape them, with writer and social media creator Noah Rinsky. What makes New York City the greatest city in the world? As one of the foremost chroniclers of New York’s local legends and urban glory, New York Nico has thoughts. Nico gets asked a lot of questions about his hometown. Where’s the best slice, pastrami sandwich, cup of coffee, vintage store, or bookshop? In this must-have city guide, New York Nico takes readers on an epic tour of his 100 can’t-miss NYC spots, including food, shopping, and so much more. As he traverses the five boroughs, he offers a raw and authentic “locals-only” guide to the city so nice they named it twice. But behind every New York institution are the personalities who make them special. Nico’s debut book functions as a document of a city and its people during a moment of transition. You’ll meet and learn the stories of beloved characters like Henry at Army Navy Bags, Yuval at Liebman’s Deli (the last kosher deli in the Bronx), Julia who serves Sri Lanken food to riders of the Staten Island Ferry, Jamal at Village Revival Records, and Big Mike and the dozens of barbers who speak Italian, Russian, Greek, Spanish, French, Polish, Uzbek, and Farsi at Astor Place Hairstylists. By hearing the living histories of New York’s most colorful characters, Nico shows us the heart and soul of the place they call home.

Lecture | New Views of Samothrace and Its Mystery Cult
A lecture about fascinating Samothrace. Dr. Bonna D. Wescoat — Director of the American School, Emory University Professor of Art History, and head of excavations at Samothrace — discusses this tiny windswept island located in the northern Aegean Sea. During antiquity, its fame emanated from its mystery cult of the Great Gods, also known as the Cabeiri. The rites of initiation promising protection in times of need were kept secret, but archaeology, 3D modeling, and experiential investigations provide an illuminating window into the efficacy of this famous cult and its rituals.

Lecture | “America – A New World for Jewish Children”: An Unknown Letter by Sholem Aleichem (online)
Within the Herman Bernstein collection at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research lies an unknown and previously unpublished letter by Sholem Aleichem (Shalom Rabinowitz, 1859–1916), one of Yiddish literature’s most renowned writers. Unidentified for over a century, it was first recognized in 2017, 101 years after the author’s death. In the letter, Sholem Aleichem addresses the theme of Jewish cultural assimilation in general, and Americanization in particular. Apparently written not long after Sholem Aleichem first arrived in America in 1906, the letter is significant because it demonstrates his approach to the phenomenon of Jewish American children, a subject which he developed during the last decade of his life and which culminated in his final literary work, Motl, the Cantor’s Son. A close reading of the letter sheds new light on the his impressions of American Jewish immigrants and, in particular, of American Jewish children. The excitement and fascination generated by this topic would turn out to be one of his main literary subjects until his death 10 years later. In this presentation, Yael Levi will explore the letter’s content, situating it within the historical and cultural context of Sholem Aleichem’s biography and epistolary legacy, with a particular focus on the pivotal period of Jewish migration and the experience of East European Jewish children in America.

Book Discussion | Lazarus Man by Richard Price
Join WNYC's Alison Stewart and Richard Price for a live conversation about his newest book, Lazarus Man. East Harlem, 2008. In an instant, a five-story tenement collapses into a fuming hill of rubble, pancaking the cars parked in front and coating the street with a thick layer of ash. As the city’s rescue services and media outlets respond, the surrounding neighborhood descends into chaos. By day’s end, six bodies have been recovered but many of the other tenants are missing. It's here we find intertwining portraits of a group of compelling and singular characters whose lives are permanently affected by the disaster. Anthony Carter—whose miraculous survival transforms him into a man with a message and a passionate sense of mission. Felix Pearl—a young transplant to the city whose photography and film work that day provoke in this previously unformed soul a sharp sense of personal destiny. Royal Davis—the owner of a failing Harlem funeral home whose desperate trolling of the scene for potential customers triggers a change of heart and a quest to find another path in life. And Mary Roe—a veteran city detective, driven in part by her own family’s brutal history, who becomes obsessed with finding one of the building’s missing.

Opening Reception | Lens on a Century: Documentary Photographic Albums from the Slavic, East European and Eurasian Collections of The Hoover Institution
The Slavic, East European and Eurasian archival collections of Stanford University's Hoover Institution Library & Archives have long been regarded as one of the premier resources of their kind outside the homelands. Perhaps less well appreciated are Hoover’s extraordinary holdings of tens of thousands of photographs, both “loose” prints and in hundreds of collector-assembled albums found in collections relating to the vast expanse of the Caucasus, the Balkans, Eastern and Central Europe, the Baltics, and of course, Russia and the former Soviet Union. This exhibit in twenty-five panels seeks to provide a “lens” on a period from circa 1899 to the post- World War II era as prismed through a necessarily very small selection of documentary photographic albums chosen from the hundreds found within the Hoover’s archival collections.

Book Discussion | The New Internationals by David Wright Falade (In Person AND Online!)
David Wright Falade will discuss his new book, The New Internationals with award-winning author Julie Orringer. Paris, 1947. Still recovering from the Nazi occupation that left its economy in shambles and unraveled its social fabric, the city brims with international students, American GIs, and young people from France’s colonies. Cecile Rosenbaum, from a bourgeois Jewish family that lost everything, meets Minette Traore, a feisty, French-born girl of Senegalese descent, on the bus to a Communist Youth Conference. There, she also meets Sebastien Danxome, an aspiring architecture student from West Africa, and romance blooms. Back in Paris, as these young internationals haunt the cafes and jazz clubs of the Latin Quarter, Cecile and Sebastien find their budding love muddied by confused loyalties and unyielding cultural traditions. Nuanced, powerful, and sharply realized, The New Internationals chronicles the postwar awakening and the young women and men who rose up—and came together—in an attempt to imagine a better world.

Book Discussion | The Matteotti Murder and Mussolini: The Anatomy of a Fascist Crime
Author Mauro Canali’s research is based on the trial records smuggled to London by the lawyer of the Matteotti family, Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani when it became clear that he too was a target of the regime. Modigliani documented that Matteotti was investigating bribes from the American Sinclair Oil Company to the Italian government in exchange for the monopoly to drill on Italian soil and in the Italian colonies. Matteotti’s murder in 1924 opened the way to establishing the Fascist dictatorship and to redesigning the institutions of the state. Through the lens of the trial and Modigliani’s activity, Canali addresses the history of the war over natural resources of which Matteotti remained a marginal yet highly symbolic victim. Canali follows the parallel routes of corruption and social struggles flowing between worlds politically and ideologically apart, how they shaped different populist and democratic narratives, and the rise of an inextricable bond between ruling classes, warfare, and industrial interests. Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani (1872-1946) was one of the founders of the Italian Socialist Party and of the first Italian union. He developed and maintained strong ties with unions and socialist activists in the US, especially with David Dubinsky, Bruce Vladek, and the Local 89 International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. His relation to Matteotti before the murder and during the trial, illuminates a complex map of alliances and conflicts between the two countries and the role of unionism in the battle against authoritarianism.

Book Discussion | Henri Bendel and the Worlds He Fashioned: Dressing New York
Author Tim Allis looks at Henri Bendel's remarkable journey from a humble upbringing in late-nineteenth-century Louisiana to the pinnacle of high society. Starting with a small hat shop in Greenwich Village in 1896, he eventually redrew the map of fashion retail, turning then-strictly residential Fifty-Seventh Street into "the Rue de la Paix of New York." He introduced discerning clients to such influential designers as Schiaparelli, Molyneaux, and Chanel, and he outfitted Astors, Vanderbilts, and stars of stage and screen. Tim Allis was a senior editor at In Style for twelve years.

Concert | Songs Commemorating 80 Years of Auschwitz Liberation
Shira Karmon and Alexander Vounelakos are both classical and jazz artists. With "Shira", Hebrew for song or poetry - they offer a variety of songs from Shira's classical Gramola music Albums: ,,Spirit of Hope", and ,,Little Cakewalk" commemorating 80 years to the liberation of Auschwitz with songs by Viktor Ullmann and Szymon Laks who were prisoners in this concentration camp. The music styles in this recital take us on a journey through classical, romantic, Viennese songs, and jazzy flair where the artists interpret pieces by Beethoven, Bernstein, Weill, Leopoldi and Hiller a.o. Thus, Ullmann and Laks are liberated from the title: ,,Music from Auschwitz". The concert will end with the lighter side of Jewish hits, leaving the audience with a spirit of hope!

Book Club | Intermezzo by Sally Rooney
Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common. Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties—successful, competent, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women—his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke. Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined. For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude—a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

Poetry Reading | Soon and Wholly: Poems for an Extreme Era
Idra Novey's first collection in a decade brings a lyric intimacy to the extremes of our era. The poems juxtapose sweltering days raising children in a city with moments from a rural childhood roaming free in the woods, providing a bridge between those often polarized realities. Novey's spare, contemporary fables move across the Americas, from a woman housesitting in central Chile, surrounded by encroaching fires, to a man in New York about to give birth to a panda.

Book Club | My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones
My Heart Is a Chainsaw is a 2021 horror novel by Stephen Graham Jones and the first book in The Indian Lake Trilogy. Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls readers into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold. Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges…a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. My Heart Is a Chainsaw is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.

This over-the-top comedy is a study in excess. Its whimsical premise, colorful set pieces, and sharp humor offers a satirical commentary on the pursuit of wealth and the American Dream. Susan Claassen has evolved into Managing Artistic Director - Emeritus of Tucson’s Invisible Theatre after fifty years of leadership where she produced and directed over six hundred productions. She was nominated for the 2011 LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award and Broadway World LA Award as Best Actress for her portrayal of Edith Head in A Conversation with Edith Head and most recently, for The San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle 43rd Annual Excellence in Theatre Awards for Best Solo Production and Best Production.

Film | At Dark, I Become Loathsome by Eric LaRocca
From Eric LaRocca—Bram Stoker Award–nominated and Splatterpunk Award–winning author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke—comes At Dark, I Become Loathsome, a grim yet gentle, horrifying yet hopeful, intense tale of death, trauma, and love. “If you’re reading this, you’ve likely thought that the world would be a better place without you”: A single line of text, glowing in the darkness of the internet. Written by Ashley Lutin, who has often thought the same—and worse—in the years since his wife died and his young son disappeared. But the peace of the grave is not for him—it’s for those he can help. Ashley has constructed a peculiar ritual for those whose desire to die is at war with their yearning to live a better life. Struggling to overcome his own endless grief, one night Ashley finds connection with Jinx—a potential candidate for Ashley’s next ritual—who spins a tale both revolting and fascinating. Thus begins a relationship that traps the two men in an ever-tightening spiral of painful revelations, where long-hidden secrets are dragged, kicking and screaming, into the light. At this event, author Eric LaRocca will discuss their new book and more with fellow author Chuck Wendig.

Conference | (Re)-conciliation?: Postcolonial Francophone Literature
In recent years many works of Francophone literature, especially written by second-generation immigrants —such as Alice Zeniter or Faïza Guène, to cite a few— highlight the many fractures encountered in the postcolonial francophone world, testifying to the difficult experiences of the “double culture.” This conference will examine the question of (re)conciliation, notably through a postcolonial lens, echoing the complexity of the French-speaking world and its history, its diversity and richness, and considering the (im)possibilities of (re)conciliation in the face of colonial history and the current political context. Can you truly reconcile with France? How can we work from and within this divide?

Book Discussion | Fashion Victims: Dress at the Court of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (online)
Author Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell discusses her exploration of one of the most exciting, controversial, and extravagant periods in the history of fashion: the reign of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette in 18th-century France. This turbulent era’s sophisticated and largely female-dominated fashion industry both produced courtly finery and promoted a thriving secondhand clothing market outside the royal circle. Chrisman-Campbell will illuminate the exceptionally imaginative and uninhibited styles of the period immediately before the French Revolution, as well as fashion’s surprising influence on the course of the Revolution itself.

Book Discussion | Conversion and Catastrophe in German-Jewish Emigre Autobiography: Spiritual Journeys
Author Abraham Rubin discusses his new book, a collective biography of German-Jewish converts to Christianity who recounted their spiritual and confessional journeys against the backdrop of the Holocaust and its aftermath. The book explores how Jewish emigrants interpreted their experiences of persecution and displacement through the hermeneutics of Christian conversion. It asks how chosen genres of writing both enabled and hindered self-understanding. Applying psychoanalysis, disability studies, and autobiographical theory to the life writing of converted Jews, the book offers new avenues for conceptualizing the Jewishness of historical subjects who disavowed their ties to Judaism.

Book Club | The Ministry of Pain by Dubravka Ugresic (in-person and online)
Discuss Dubravka Ugresic's edgy, extraordinary novel, offering universal insights into what it is like to lose home, nationality and language. Having fled the violent breakup of Yugoslavia, Tanja Lucic is now a professor of literature at the University of Amsterdam, where she teaches a class filled with other young Yugoslav exiles, most of whom earn meager wages assembling leather and rubber S&M clothing at a sweatshop they call the "Ministry." Abandoning literature, Tanja encourages her students to indulge their "Yugonostalgia" in essays about their personal experiences during their homeland's cultural and physical disintegration. But Tanja's act of academic rebellion incites the rage of one renegade member of her class—and pulls her dangerously close to another—which, in turn, exacerbates the tensions of a life in exile that has now begun to spiral seriously out of control.

Book Discussion | Alexander at the End of the World: The Forgotten Final Years of Alexander the Great (in-person and online)
By 330 B.C.E., Alexander the Great had reached the pinnacle of success. Or so it seemed. He had defeated the Persian ruler Darius III and seized the capital city of Persepolis. His exhausted and traumatized soldiers were ready to return home to Macedonia. Yet Alexander had other plans. He was determined to continue heading east to Afghanistan in search of his ultimate goal: to reach the end of the world. Alexander’s unrelenting desire to press on resulted in a perilous seven-year journey through the unknown eastern borderlands of the Persian empire that would test the great conqueror’s physical and mental limits. This incredible sweep of time, culminating with his death in 323 BC at the age of 32, would come to determine Alexander’s legacy and shape the empire he left behind. Renowned classicist and art history professor Rachel Kousser vividly brings to life Alexander’s labyrinthine, treacherous final years. Meticulously researched and grippingly written, Kousser’s narrative is an unforgettable tale of daring and adventure, an inspiring portrait of grit and ambition, and a powerful meditation on the ability to learn from failure.

Concert | Dance, dance otherwise we are lost!: Songs Celebrating Dance
An extraordinary evening of song celebrating the many facets of dance with Austrian artists Klaudia Tandl and Gisela Jobstl. 24 pieces by no fewer than 20 composers, divided into five thematic sections, form the program of this extraordinary evening of song. Spanning various eras, diverse perspectives, and a wide range of stylistic approaches, the concert explores every facet of dance, fully embracing the titular quote from Pina Bausch: "Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost!" The first section is devoted to the theme of Dance and Death, featuring works such as Schubert's Der Jungling und der Tod and Saint-Saens' Danse macabre. The second part turns to Dance and Love, diving deep into the realm of (musical) Romanticism with Hector Berlioz's Le Spectre de la rose. In the sections that follow, the pieces take a choreographic step into the intangible, leaving the earthly and tangible behind to explore the weightless Dance of the Stars. This journey culminates in a celebration aptly titled Dance and Joy of Life, where music from Benjamin Britten, Leonard Bernstein, and Cecile Chaminade brings the art of dance to life in its purest and most exhilarating form. Finally, in honor of the Johann Strauss Jubilee, the evening concludes with a selection of some of his finest works, showcasing beloved pieces from operettas such as Die Fledermaus and Die Tanzerin Fanny Elssler.

Book Discussion | Cleavage by Jennifer Finney Boylan (In Person AND Online!)
Jennifer Finney Boylan talks to Roxane Gay about her latest memoir, an exploration of a life lived in two genders. In 2003 Jennifer Finney Boylan published She’s Not There, which became the first bestselling work by a transgender American and established Boylan as a go-to source for public conversation about the impact of gender on our lives. More than two decades later, her new memoir, Cleavage, returns with older and wiser eyes to examine the joys and the struggles of being transgender. Boylan considers how the experiences of trans people might have changed from when she came out in 2000 to the present era of blowback and fear. The book is a humane and compassionate antidote to a moment that often finds discussions of trans lives and issues being distorted and abused for political aims. Boylan speaks with bestselling author Roxane Gay about her hope for a future in which we all have the freedom to live joyfully as men, as women, and in the space between us.

Historian Julian Zelizer will discuss his new book with Jonathan Alter. In Defense of Partisanship imagines what partisanship might look like if we put into place important reforms. Through a sweeping history of Congress since the Founding, Zelizer offers a way forward. Some are simple—repeal the filibuster, restore the campaign-finance rules undone by the Citizens United decision—while others are more revolutionary—increase the size of the House of Representatives. These reforms, which focus on enabling political parties to speak more forcefully and clearly for American citizens, have the potential to pay respect the deep differences that divide us while simultaneously creating more opportunities for collaboration, cooperation, and consensus.

Book Discussion | Humans in Shackles: An Atlantic History of Slavery by Ana Lucia Araujo
Author and professor Ana Lucia Araujo discusses her new book, Humans in Shackles: An Atlantic History of Slavery, with fellow scholar Herman L. Bennett. During the era of the Atlantic slave trade, more than twelve million enslaved Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas in cramped, inhumane conditions. Many of them died on the way, and those who survived had to endure further suffering in the violent conditions that met them onshore. Covering more than three hundred years, Humans in Shackles grapples with this history by foregrounding the lived experience of enslaved people in tracing the long, complex history of slavery in the Americas. Based on twenty years of research, this book not only serves as a comprehensive history; it also expands that history by providing a truly transnational account that emphasizes the central role of Brazil in the Atlantic slave trade. Additionally, it is deeply informed by African history and shows how African practices and traditions survived and persisted in the Americas among communities of enslaved people. Drawing on primary sources including travel accounts, pamphlets, newspaper articles, slave narratives, and visual sources such as artworks and artifacts, Araujo illuminates the social, cultural, and religious lives of enslaved people working in plantations and urban areas, building families and cultivating affective ties, congregating and re-creating their cultures, and organizing rebellions. Humans in Shackles puts the lived experiences of enslaved peoples at the center of the story and investigates the heavy impact these atrocities have had on the current wealth disparity of the Americas and rampant anti-Black racism.

Book Discussion | Victorian Psycho: A Novel of a Bloodthirsty Governess (online)
Virginia Feito discusses her the riveting tale of a bloodthirsty governess who learns the true meaning of vengeance. Winifred Notty arrives at Ensor House prepared to play the perfect governess―she’ll dutifully tutor her charges, Drusilla and Andrew, tell them bedtime stories, and only joke about eating children. But long, listless days spent within the estate’s dreary confines come with an intimate knowledge of the perversions and pathetic preoccupations of the Pounds family―Mr. Pounds can’t keep his eyes off Winifred’s chest, and Mrs. Pounds takes a sickly pleasure in punishing Winifred for her husband’s wandering gaze. Compounded with her disdain for the entitled Pounds children, Winifred finds herself struggling at every turn to stifle the violent compulsions of her past. French tutoring and needlework are one way to pass the time, as is admiring the ugly portraits in the gallery . . . and creeping across the moonlit lawns. . .

Book Discussion | Negotiating with the Devil: Inside the World of Armed Conflict Mediation
After many years in the little-known world of back-channel mediation, helping sworn adversaries to prevent, manage or resolve conflict, author Pierre Hazan reaximines the practical and ethical dilemmas that affected his work in Bosnia, Ukraine, the Sahel and the Central African Republic, and reflects more generally on the evolving conditions affecting mediation and conflict resolution. Should governments talk to terrorists? Should war criminals be included in dialogue? When trying to bring peace, should we “negotiate with the devil”? In this discussion Hazan will also consider how mediation needs to adapt to new forms of war (cyber), new technologies (AI), and a new geopolitical environment, characterized by more conflicts, less multilateralism, less of a role played by the UN, and less adherence to International Humanitarian Law?

Film | The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks: The Story of a Design Icon by Daniel Konstanski
Author and Lego Expert Daniel Konstanski will discuss his new book The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks: The Inside Story of a Design Icon with Allison Nellis. From the first hollow bricks to the complex shapes and building techniques of today, this book is a LEGO history like no other-and the first official book for Adult Fans of LEGO bricks. LEGO bricks are design icons and marvels of engineering. Having remained virtually unchanged for over fifty years, the brick is still the center of the LEGO System in Play, in which each brick connects to every other brick, allowing the construction of almost anything you can imagine. LEGO minifigures may be the friendly smiling faces of the LEGO world, but bricks in all their different shapes and forms are its very foundation. This book sets out to explore the brick's rich history in unparalleled detail and full color. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, author Daniel Konstanski reveals for the first time how and why new LEGO bricks are made, speaking to the people involved with each crucial step, from the so-called "rock stars," the set designers, through to the element designers, design masters, graphic designers, elements testers and approvers, plastics technicians, and many more.

A composer and multi-instrumentalist best known as a master of the violin, the Texas-born/Brooklyn-based Darian Donovan Thomas regularly sits in and tours with a diverse roster of major jazz, classical, and rock artists including So Percussion, Moses Sumney, Arooj Aftab, Dawn Richard, L'Rain, and the Wild Up ensemble. Unsurprisingly, major elements of Thomas's musicality include a devout interest in queering barriers between genres and a boisterous zeal for intersectional uplift across culture and melody. His Safe Space project serves as an IRL manifestation of his kaleidoscopic and introspective double album on New Amsterdam Records, A Room with Many Doors, which I Care If You Listen dubbed "a monumental feat of collaboration." Thomas is joined by a roster of experimental sound luminaries including trombonist Kalia Vandever, Mike Haldeman on guitar, and electronic musician Phong Tran.

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm

Book Discussion | Yiddish Literature Under Surveillance: The Case of Soviet Ukraine (online)
This book gives a broad view on Soviet Jewish literary life, and on the repression suffered by Yiddish writers under Stalinist rule. It moves from the paradigm of writing almost exclusively about the most prominent authors, whose execution in Moscow on August 12, 1952 is tragically known as "The Night of Murdered Poets." Instead, the narrative is built as a group biography of five writers whose literary home was in Kyiv, the capital of Soviet Ukraine from 1934 to 1991. Those authors are as follows: Avrom Abchuk (arrested and executed in 1937), Chaim Gildin (arrested in 1940; died in a camp in 1943), Itsik Kipnis (arrested in 1949; released in 1955), Rive Balyasne (arrested in 1952; released in 1955), and Hirsh Bloshteyn, an enthusiastic agent of the secret police. In addition, this book is populated by other Yiddish, Ukrainian, and Russian literati. Kyiv was the primary fountainhead for Yiddish literary creativity in the early postrevolutionary period for seven decades and remained a leading Soviet Yiddish literary center, second in importance only to Moscow. Author Gennady Estraikh pays special attention to the victims’ rehabilitation, posthumous or otherwise, in the mid-1950s and onwards.

Discussion | The Pleasure Lists
What's in a list? What do the lists we make say about ourselves? Inspired by a poem from playwright Bertolt Brecht, The Pleasure Lists began with a simple post online — a prompt calling for people to catalogue their pleasures. The outpouring of entries, an unexpected response to a humble exercise, led to The Pleasure Lists. Meant to be fun, delightful, and pleasureful, it is a reflection on the things that bring you joy. In the first-ever live gathering of The Pleasure Lists community, this is a workshop where you will have the opportunity to write your own Pleasure List and connect with other pleasure-seekers. The evening will begin with writing your own lists, followed by readings from Pleasure Lists founder Dalya Benor, friends Emmeline Clein, Camille Sojit Pejcha, Whitney Mallett, Rachel Syme, and more guests to be announced. The Pleasure Lists is a space for reflection, a reminder of the things that bring us joy. It’s as public or as personal as you want; as artistic or straightforward as calls you. The pure simplicity and banality of Bertolt Brecht’s poem shows us what we know to be true about pleasure: that it truly is in the eye of the beholder. Each list is as unique as its author, telling us more about the writer than the list itself. From the material to the mundane, the tactile to the intangible, the things that bring us pleasure speak volumes about what we value.

Book Discussion | Talk to Me: Lessons from a Family Forged by History by Rich Benjamin
Rich Benjamin recounts the coup that ended his grandfather’s presidency of Haiti, the wound it left in his family, and his urgent efforts to know his mother despite their past. In 1957, two weeks after his inauguration, Haitian populist hero Daniel Fignole and his wife—Rich Benjamin’s grandparents—were held at gunpoint and put on a plane to New York in a coup hatched by the Eisenhower administration. Benjamin’s mother and her siblings were kidnapped and ultimately smuggled out of the country. But while Rich was growing up, no one in his family spoke of this past. He didn’t know why his mother struggled with emotional connection, why she was so erratic. In turn, she knew little about him, about his childhood emotional pain, the physical agony from his blood disease, how he came to terms with his sexuality at the dawn of the AIDS crisis. It would take Rich years to piece together the turmoil that reverberated through his family. In this piercing memoir, he brings that story to light and paints a bold, pugnacious portrait of America—of the human cost of the country’s hostilities abroad, the experience of migrants on these shores, and the indelible ties of family.

Book Discussion | Bibliophobia by Sarah Chihaya
Book critic and essayist Sarah Chihaya will discuss her new book Bibliophobia with fellow writer Merve Emre . Books can seduce you. They can annihilate, reveal, and provoke you. And anyone incurably obsessed with books, Sarah Chihaya thinks, has had this kind of unsettling literary encounter. She calls books that have this effect “Life Ruiners.” Chihaya’s "Life Ruiner," Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, became a talisman for her in high school, and its electrifying treatment of race exposed her deepest feelings about being Japanese American in a predominantly white suburb of Cleveland. Transformed, Chihaya knew she’d build her life around books, searching for another "Life Ruiner" that could show her how to live. But a lifelong struggle with depression thwarted the resolution to every plot, and when she was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown, the world became an unreadable blank page. Bibliophobia is a story of breakdown and survival told through books. Delving into Anne of Green Gables, Possession, A Tale for the Time Being, The Last Samurai, and many other texts, Chihaya interrogates her cultural identity, her relationship with depression, and the intoxicating, sometimes painful, ways books push back on those who love them.

Film | The City Without Jews (1924): Silent Masterpiece with Live Musical Accompaniment
H. K. Breslauer’s 1924 silent masterpiece is based on the bestselling dystopian novel by Hugo Bettauer. It was produced two years after the book’s publication and, tragically, shortly before the satirical events depicted in the fictional story transformed into all-too-horrific reality. All complete prints were thought to be destroyed, but thanks to the discovery of a nitrate print in a Parisian flea market in 2015, this “lost” film can once again be appreciated in its unfortunately ever-relevant entirety. Set in the Austrian city of Utopia (a thinly-disguised stand-in for Vienna), the story follows the political and personal consequences of an antisemitic law passed by the National Assembly forcing all Jews to leave the country. At first, the decision is met with celebration, but when the citizens of Utopia eventually come to terms with the loss of the Jewish population – and the resulting economic and cultural decline—the National Assembly must decide whether to invite the Jews back. Though darkly comedic in tone and stylistically influenced by German Expressionism, the film nonetheless contains ominous and eerily realistic sequences, such as shots of freight trains transporting Jews out of the city. The film’s stinging critique of Nazism is part of the reason it was no longer screened in public after 1933. The screening will be accompanied by live original music composed and performed by world-renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin. A Q&A session with the musicians will follow the cine-concert.

Book Discussion | There's No Turning Back: Eight Women in Rome
Translator Ann Goldstein presents Alba De Céspedes's coming-of-age novel that is as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago. There’s No Turning Back centers on eight women with radically different backgrounds who attend the same college in Rome. Some are there to study, others to escape a scandal, or keep a secret, and during their time there, they experience the challenges of love, work, and emancipation. Considered experimental and revolutionary at the time, this novel established Alba de Céspedes as a powerful new voice in the 20th century.

Book Discussion | To Save the Man by John Sayles
Film director and author John Sayles discusses his new novel, To Save the Man, with historian Jerry W. Carlson. In the vein of Never Let Me Go and Killers of the Flower Moon, To Save the Man sheds light on an American tragedy: the Wounded Knee Massacre, and the cultural genocide experienced by the Native American children at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. In September 1890, the academic year begins at the Carlisle school, a co-educational military-style boarding school in Pennsylvania for Indians founded and run by Captain Richard Henry Pratt, who considers himself a champion of the country’s rapidly dwindling Native population. His motto, “To save the man, we must kill the Indian,” is enforced in both classroom and dormitory: speak only English, forget your own language and customs, learn to be white. As the students navigate survival, they begin to hear rumors of the “ghost dance” moving its way through their home reservations on the Plains—tribal people dancing and chanting and reporting visions, all in the desperate belief that their efforts will cause the Creator to return the buffalo to the Plains, raise the Indian dead, and destroy all the white people with fire or flood. The yellow press hype the story with exaggeration and falsehood, spreading panic among local whites and forcing the deployment of federal troops onto Lakota land, a situation almost certain to end in slaughter. When news reaches Carlisle that legendary medicine man Sitting Bull has been killed by native police working for the government that holds them as “wards of the state,” each student, no matter what their tribe, must make a choice: to follow the white man’s path, or to be true to a way of life that may hold no future.

Talk | Bouncing Around: The Language of Billiards in Polygons
How many ways can a billiard ball bounce around a polygonal table? This seemingly simple question opens the door to some surprisingly deep mathematics. It turns out we don’t know much about mathematical billiards in polygons, even though they are very simple models of Newtonian mechanics. Jayadev Athreya, Professor of Mathematics and the Comparative History of Ideas at the University of Washington, will share some very new mathematics as he explores the intriguing dynamics at the intersection of geometry and motion.

Book Club | Short Reads Book Club: The Horse by Willy Vlautin
Al Ward lives on an isolated mining claim in the high desert of central Nevada fifty miles from the nearest town. A grizzled man in his sixties, he survives on canned soup, instant coffee, and memories of his ex-wife, friends and family he’s lost, and his life as a touring musician. Hampered by insomnia, bouts of anxiety, and a chronic lethargy that keeps him from moving back to town, Al finds himself teetering on the edge of madness and running out of reasons to go on—until a horse arrives on his doorstep: nameless, blind, and utterly helpless.

Book Discussion | Class and Inequality in China and India, 1950–2010
China and India have long been central to the world economy. Two and a half centuries ago, they contributed 50% of the world’s output; after suffering a decline thereafter, their share fell to a paltry 9% in 1950 but has since resurged to about 25% today. This book shows that the growth and inequality experiences of China and India have had strikingly similar trajectories, especially after 1980, despite their very different political and social institutions. It offers novel insights using a class lens to analyze and compare the Chinese and Indian inequality stories, locating them within the larger contexts of Asian and global capitalism. Author Vamsi Vakulabharanam demonstrates that the interconnectedness between Chinese and Indian growth and inequality dynamics and the transformation and evolution of global capitalism is key to understanding the within-country inequality dynamics in both countries. The book thus offers a new perspective on economic development and inequality that builds on and adds to the insights of Kuznets and Piketty.

Discussion | Five Classic Ballets Then and Now
Classic ballets from the 19th century may be household names, but what does their original history tell us about how they were first performed and what we can learn from the past that is useful for today's stagings? Marian Smith and Doug Fullington discuss long-forgotten aspects of some of the most well-known ballet classics with the dance writer Marina Harss. The two dance historians recently published Five Ballets from Paris and St. Petersburg, a book that provides an in-depth look at the earliest productions of Giselle, Paquita, Le Corsaire, La Bayadere, and Raymonda, including detailed accounts of choreography, mime, music, and action. These classic story ballets were intended to appeal to popular audiences--they were easy to follow, full of variety, and they dazzled with special effects and spectacle. But in the 20th century, many of them underwent radical changes. And more recently, serious discussions have arisen about cultural insensitivity and exoticization. What is still interesting about them today? By revealing in unprecedented detail what they were like when first created, Smith and Fullington explore the viability of a number of ballet classics that are commonly revived for today's audiences. Registration required.

Screening | 140 Years of Composer Alban Berg: Screening and Discussion
Celebrating the 140th anniversary of the birth of Austrian composer Alban Berg and come for a film-screening of Secret Song. 2025 marks the 140th anniversary of the birth of Alban Berg (1885-1935), a key figure in 20th-century music and a leading member of the Second Viennese School, founded by Arnold Schoenberg. Known for his groundbreaking work in blending atonality and serialism with a rich, emotional expressiveness, Berg's compositions continue to resonate with modern audiences. His operas Wozzeck and Lulu stand as masterpieces of modernist opera, while his Violin Concerto is celebrated for its poignant lyrical beauty. Secret Song tells the gripping true story behind a musical masterpiece: Alban Berg's Lyric Suite for string quartet has long been hailed as one of the cornerstones of 20th-century musical modernism. But for decades, few suspected that behind this powerful music lies an explosive secret. In 1925, Berg fell passionately in love with Hanna Fuchs-Robettin, a married woman living in Prague. Soon afterwards, Berg composed the Lyric Suite for string quartet, which he intended as an explicit musical portrayal of his love affair with Hanna. Berg explained the music's secret meaning in a color-coded copy of the score that he annotated for Hanna, making clear that the main events of their romance are vividly dramatized in the piece. But to the rest of the world -- including his wife, Helene -- Berg presented the piece as he wanted it to be seen: a purely abstract work of chamber music. Among the work's secrets is that its last movement was originally conceived as a song about doomed love, set to a poem by Baudelaire. Secret Song brings this tale to life as an innovative film narrative. At the heart of the film is a cinematic re-enactment of the love story hidden within the notes of the music, with the music itself as the soundtrack.

Book Discussion | Taiwan Travelogue by Yang Shuang-zi
How can a Taiwanese novel incorporate historical materials from its decades under Japanese colonial rule? How does two women’s travelogue become a work of fiction? This talk will examine Taiwan Travelogue’s use of a “Showa Taiwan Railway Gourmet Tour” as its storytelling framework, covering the novel’s early inspirations, conceptual development, research, fieldwork, archives-building, story conception, and writing process. The program will be conducted partially in Mandarin with interpretation. Taiwan Travelogue tells the story of two women, one Japanese and one Taiwanese, who grew up in different cultural backgrounds during the Japanese colonial period in 1938. Through a coincidental opportunity, they embark on a gourmet journey along the railway, exchanging culture and ideas. Yang Shuang-zi uses food and drink as metaphors, allowing readers to glimpse the contradictions between the Japanese empire’s treatment of colonial Taiwan, mainland Japanese people, and Taiwanese locals, as well as the differences in fate between men and women at that time. As independent individuals, women aspire to have independent professional identities and thoughts, but they face various difficulties and challenges. Disguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, this novel was a sensation on its first publication in Mandarin Chinese in 2020 and won Taiwan’s highest literary honor, the Golden Tripod Award. Taiwan Travelogue unburies lost colonial histories and deftly reveals how power dynamics inflect our most intimate relationships, with the writer-translator relationship mimicking Japan’s colonial rule of Taiwan. And like many travel memoirs, the protagonist undergoes self-reflection while roaming an unfamiliar land.

Lecture | The Lives of the Socialist Literary Journal: Embedded Modes of Independent Culture under State Socialism
In the Soviet Union and socialist Eastern Europe, literary journals enjoyed remarkable popularity. They not only provided access to sensational works of literature but figured as visually appealing objects and social events in everyday life. Against the background of the supposedly isolated and monolithic cultures of twentieth-century state socialism, they are often described through metaphors such as “windows to the world,” “islands of freedom,” or sites of “permitted dissent.” But what if this cultural form and institution is not an exception within its larger context but, rather, an essential and firmly integrated element? The methodological lens of periodical studies—the combined analysis of visual, literary, and social dimensions of journals—reveals socialist culture from an alternative angle. The synthetic mode of analysis, including the distant reading of the journals’ data, offers a different vision of freedoms and limitations in cultural production. This lecture focuses on several case studies from the 1960s and 1970s in the USSR and Czechoslovakia, especially the two journals Inostrannaia literatura (Moscow) and Světová literatura (Prague). Inasmuch as these periodicals continue precedents from the early 20-th century, the lecture argues, they provide models for independent and participatory modes of cultural production and reception that are an essential feature of East European socialism. Speaker Philip Tuxbury-Gleissner is an assistant professor in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at Ohio State.

Career woman Alex Greville is recently divorced and begins a romantic relationship with Bob Elkin, a glamorous and mod artist. At the same time, she's fully aware that Bob is also intimately invovled with middle-aged doctor Daniel Hirsh. For both Alex and Daniel, Bob represents a break with their repressive pasts, and even though they both know Bob is seeing both of them, neither is willing to let go of the youth and vitality he brings into their lives. Director: John Schlesinger Cast: Glenda Jackson, Peter Finch, Murray Head, Peggy Ashcroft Glenda Jackson was an English actress and politician who received numerous accolades including two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and a Tony Award. A member of the Labour Party, she served continuously as a Member of Parliament (MP) for 23 years. Peter Finch was an English-Australian actor of theatre, film and radio. One of British cinema's most celebrated leading men of the time, Finch won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role five times, and won a posthumous Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of crazed television anchorman Howard Beale in the 1976 film Network.

The urgent need to overturn the patriarchal orientation of psychoanalysis is becoming ever stronger.

She will try to unfold the elements of a sororal psychoanalysis that enables us to think differently about the articulation of the intimate and the political, the psychic and the social, the unconscious and the collective. Silvia Lippi is a psychoanalyst. Trained as a philosopher, she holds a PHD in psychology and is a hospital psychologist at the Établissement Public de Santé Barthélémy Durand in Étampes.

Talk | The YIVO Library in New York: Personal Reflections on Its History and Collections (online)
In the mid-1930s a group of New York Yiddishist intellectuals established the Central Jewish Library and Press Archive, whose collections became the nucleus of the YIVO Library when the Institute relocated from Vilna to New York in 1940. Over the succeeding decades, the Library grew by leaps and bounds, thanks to the dedication of its librarians and supporters. It emerged as a “collection of collections,” absorbing the extensive personal libraries of prominent Yiddish writers, scholars, and book collectors. Crucially, after 1945 the Library also recovered large portions of the Vilna YIVO’s prewar holdings along with thousands of rabbinic works from Vilna’s Strashun Library. Throughout its history, the YIVO Library has been a beehive of scholarship and bibliography, which has been fostered by such outstanding figures as Mendl Elkin and Dina Abramowicz. In this presentation, Zachary M. Baker will offer some personal reflections on the legacy that the YIVO Library’s founders and builders have left behind.

Book Discussion | Dream State: Love Triangle in Montana
Cece is in love. She has arrived early at her future in-laws’ lake house in Salish, Montana, to finish planning her wedding to Charlie, a young doctor with a brilliant life ahead of him. Charlie has asked Garrett, his best friend from college, to officiate the ceremony, though Cece can’t imagine anyone more ill-suited for the task—an airport baggage handler haunted by a tragedy from his and Charlie’s shared past. But as Cece spends time with Garrett, his gruff mask slips, and she grows increasingly uncertain about her future. And why does Garrett, after meeting Cece, begin to feel, well, human again? As a contagious stomach flu threatens to scuttle the wedding, and Charlie and Garrett’s friendship is put to the ultimate test, Cece must decide between the life she’s dreamed of and a life she’s never imagined.

Book Discussion | The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America by Sarah Lewis (In Person AND Online!)
Discover the pivotal moment when Americans chose to ignore the false foundations of our country’s racial hierarchies. Sarah Lewis’s latest book, The Unseen Truth: When Race Changed Sight in America, is a historical detective work uncovering one of the most damaging lies in American history. There was a time when Americans were confronted with the fictions shaping up national ideas about race—and learned to disregard them. The surprising catalyst occurred in the 19th century. During a war for independence in the Caucasus region of Eastern Europe, images of Caucasian people captivated the American public but also showed that the place from which we derive “Caucasian” for whiteness was not white at all. Cultural and political figures ranging from P. T. Barnum to Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois to Woodrow Wilson recognized these fictions and more, exploiting, unmasking, critiquing, or burying them. Speaking with historian, author, and artist Nell Irvin Painter, Sarah Lewis shows how visual tactics have long secured our distorted regime of racial hierarchy—and offers a way toward dismantling it.

Lecture | Louise Dupin’s Work on Women and the Forgotten Feminist Enlightenment
In the 1740s, Louise Dupin embarked on a project that would never see the light of day. Her “work on women,” as an heir later labeled it, would be the French Enlightenment's most important, and most neglected, feminist analysis of inequality. On the one hand, Dupin analyzes the mechanisms of men’s dominance. "Masculine vanity," she claims, aggrandizes men, diminishes women, and distorts all realms of knowledge, such that modern scientists incorporate old notions of women's weakness into new understandings of the body; historians denigrate female rulers or erase them altogether; legal scholars disenfranchise women through self-serving interpretations of Roman law; boys learn entitlement in school and men assert superiority in conversation. On the other hand, Dupin endeavored to bring to light evidence of women’s natural equality to men, of power exercised by queens and regents the world over, of self-determination once enjoyed by whole communities of French nuns, and of property rights once held by married women. Dupin’s research assistant for this project was none other than Jean-Jacques Rousseau. His hand covers hundreds of pages of drafts and notes, and was the draw for the dozen or more archives and collectors across the United States and Europe who acquired parcels of Dupin’s papers at auction in the 1950s–the last time Dupin’s thousands of papers would be in one pile. Angela Hunter and Rebecca Wilkin reconstructed Louise Dupin’s Work on Women through extensive archival research. Their edition of translated selections, annotated and contextualized for general and specialist audiences, was published in the New Histories of Philosophy series of Oxford University Press (2023).

Book Discussion | George’s Daughter: Remembering a Controlling Father
A complex story of contradiction, disillusion and love, Carol Becker's George’s Daughter is a memoir/essay about a daughter’s attempt to live in accordance with her own values, in spite of conflicts with her controlling father whom she nonetheless adores. Ultimately, her defiance of him — by refusing to end a romantic relationship of which he does not approve — leads to emotionally catastrophic consequences for them both. These themes will resonate with anyone whose family has come undone when a member refuses to adhere to conventional expectations, whether around gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, politics or culture.

Performance | Late, Late Frogs: Aristophanes on Network Television
Octavio Vourvoulias' adaptation recontextualizes the last section of Aristophanes’ Frogs–the agon sophias between the shades of Aeschylus and Euripides in the Underworld—into a televised debate between two popular musicians of different genres and generations, in the present-day. These artists argue about which one of them pursues a more effective type of social activism in their music. Aeschylus is represented by Andy Page, a classic rocker whose politics are rooted in the folk movement and the protests against the Vietnam War. Embodying Euripides is E-Danger, a younger, nonbinary pop-adjacent artist with a more cynical worldview informed by issues like the financial crisis, social media, and climate change. The debate is moderated by the show’s host, standing in for Dionysus (who is not as unbiased as she should be), backed by the house band, Don Plutón Y Las Ranas. The debate, parallel to its Aristophanic equivalent, satirizes critical culture and genre labels, and interrogates the role of art in political activism. Octavio Vourvoulias is an actor and playwright based in Brooklyn. He graduated with a degree in Classics from Columbia University last year.

Book Discussion | You Between the Lines: Literary Rivals
No one’s more surprised than Leigh when a prestigious MFA program in North Carolina accepts her. A former sorority girl, Leigh’s the first to admit she knows more about the lyrics of Taylor Swift than T.S. Eliot, and she’s never been able to shake the “all-style-no-substance” feedback her high school crush made in their poetry workshop. Leigh's insecurities become all too real when Will, that same high school crush-turned-nemesis, shows up at orientation. And now, he’s William, exactly the kind of writer Leigh hates, complete with his pretentious sweater vests and tattered Moleskine. Leigh’s determined to prove herself—and William—wrong by landing the program’s highly-coveted fellowship. But Will’s dead-set on proving himself too, and in a small cohort, they can't keep apart for long. With author Katie Naymon.

Book Club | Graphic Novel Book Club: Bungleton Green and the Mystic Commandos by Jay Jackson
Meet Bungleton Green--an anti-racist time traveler and the first-ever Black superhero created more than a decade before characters like Black Panther and Falcon. In 1942, almost a year after America entered the Second World War, Jay Jackson--a former railroad worker and sign painter, now working as a cartoonist and illustrator for the legendary Black newspaper The Chicago Defender--did something unexpected. He took the Defender's stale and long-running gag strip Bungleton Green and remade it into a gripping, anti-racist science fiction adventure comic. He teamed the bumbling Green with a crew of Black teens called the Mystic Commandos, and together, they battled the enemies of America and racial equality in the past, present, and future. Nazis, segregationist senators, Benedict Arnold, fifth columnists, 18th-century American slave traders, evil scientists, and a nation of racist Green Men all faced off against the Mystic Commandos and Green, who in the strip's run would be transformed by Jackson into the first-ever Black superhero.

Book Discussion | A Nation of Refugees: Russia's Jews in World War I (online)
When World War I began, the Russian Empire was home to more than 5.7 million Jews, the most densely settled Jewish population in the world. Thirty years later, by 1945, only remnants of this civilization remained. The years of World War I, from 1914 to 1918, launched nearly all the forces that led to this epic destruction. Author Polly Zavadivker tells how Jewish civilians experienced that war and its epicenter of violence on the Eastern Front. World War I transformed the lives of East European Jews in ways that were second only to the Holocaust in their magnitude. State violence and forced migration determined many aspects of Jewish wartime and revolutionary experience. These policies not only destroyed much of traditional Jewish life but also inadvertently compelled a transformation of Jewish civil society. The collapse of Russian imperialism enabled the growth of an empire-wide humanitarian campaign to rescue the “nation of refugees,” whose plight embodied that of the Jewish nation itself. By exploring this history of Jewish humanitarianism during World War I, Zavadivker provides the origin stories of key leaders and public institutions that served East European Jewry in the interwar years and during the Holocaust.

Talk | The Autonomy of Anger: Ten Years of French Protests
France is experiencing a multiplication of protest movements, of which the so-called Yellow Vest movement in 2018-2019 is only the most original. I participated in this movement and observed directly or indirectly other movements of the last decade as well as the grievances collected by the French government from its population during the yellow vest movement (in "Cahiers" that recalled, albeit quite differently, those of the French Revolution). The result is a picture of French complaints and protests and their recent evolution. Here, we present a few features (and ask whether they can be found in other countries). Current French protests are more territorial, more critical of official organizations and, more focused on the sphere of reproduction (health, education, ecology). The failure of political parties to take up these complaints may well be one of the main reasons for the lasting difficulties of the Left in France. Electoral politics and protest politics are increasingly dissociated. Anger is becoming autonomous. Speaker Laurent Jeanpierre is political scientist, Professor of Political Science at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and co-author of Une Histoire Globale des Révolutions.

Book Discussion | The Other March Sisters by Liz Parker, Ally Malinenko, and Linda Epstein
Giving all the Little Women the stories they deserve at last, this historical novel and companion to the much-loved classic draws Meg, Beth, and Amy March from behind the shadow of Jo – Louisa May Alcott’s alter-ego and the “author” of Little Women – as vibrant and unforgettable characters grappling with societal strictures, queer love, motherhood, chronic illness, artistic ambition, and more. Four sisters, each as different as can be. Through the eyes and words of Jo, their characters and destinies became known to millions. Meg, pretty and conventional. Jo, stubborn, tomboyish, and ambitious. Beth, shy and good-natured, a mortal angel readily accepting her fate. And Amy, elegant, frivolous, and shallow. But Jo, for all her insight, could not always know what was in her sisters’ thoughts, or in their hearts. With Jo away in New York to pursue her literary ambitions, Meg, Beth, and Amy follow their own paths. Meg, newly married with young twins, struggles to find the contentment that Marmee assured her would come with domesticity. Unhappy and unfulfilled, she turns to her garden, finding there not just a hobby but a calling that will allow her to help other women in turn. Beth knows her time is limited. Still, part of her longs to break out of her suffocating cocoon at home, however briefly. A new acquaintance turns into something more, offering unexpected, quiet joy. Amy, traveling in Europe while she pursues her goal of becoming an artist, is keenly aware of the expectation that she will save the family by marrying well. Through the course of her journey, she discovers how she can remain true to herself, true to her art, and true to the love that was always meant to be. Purposefully leaving Jo off the page, authors Liz Parker, Ally Malinenko, and Linda Epstein draw inspiration from Alcott’s real-life sisters, giving the other March women room to reveal themselves through conversations, private correspondence, and intimate moments—coming alive in ways that might surprise even daring, unconventional Jo.

Book Discussion | The Prosecutor: One Man's Battle to Bring Nazis to Justice
Author Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay, Jewish judge from Stuttgart who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the shadowy, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler’s former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer landed on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he wouldn’t be intimidated. His journey took him deep into the dark heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice would set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies bent on silencing him.

Film | Selma (2014) Directed by Ava DuVernay
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegrated the South, but despite that, discrimination was still rampant. This made it difficult and dangerous for Black people to register to vote. A year later, in 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for sufrage, and Dr. Martin Luther King and his followers joined the battle, despite violent opposition. They marched from Selma to Montgomery, and their movement ended with President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Director: Ava DuVernay Cast: David Oyelowo, Tom Wilkinson, Carmen Ejogo, Giovanni Ribisi, Alessandro Nivola Ava DuVernayis an American filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer who has received two Primetime Emmy Awards, as well as a nomination for an Academy Award and Golden Globe.

Discussion | Israel on Our Minds with Ambassador Ido Aharoni (in-person and online)
Even those of us who follow the news from Israeli regularly are left with more questions than insight: How should we think about Israel security in the face of a rapidly changing Middle East? What is the government doing in response to the worldwide condemnation of the Jewish State . . . and what could it do? Has the Start-Up Nation sputtered out? Can the breach between the religious and the secular populations be healed — and how? Does the Israeli government take the concerns and opinions of the Jewish diaspora seriously enough? Should it? With so many questions — and so much confusion — they have recruited the ideal person to pull back the curtain on the complicated situation: an Israel diplomat, university professor, writer and investor, Ido Aharoni.

Joffrey was known for his logical, anatomically sound, eclectic approach, which differed from the prevailing methods of the time. He also hand-picked and mentored future teachers—some of whom will be leading a demonstration on Joffrey's methodology. Former Joffrey company artist Nicole Duffy leads a conversation giving a glimpse into training with Joffrey. Registration required.

To mark the occasion, The Cooper Union is pleased to present Steve Inskeep, the author of Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America and cohost of NPR’s Morning Edition, in conversation with ABC News anchor Linsey Davis about a great politician's strategy in a country divided and lessons for our own disorderly present. Many of Lincoln’s greatest acts came about through his engagement with people who disagreed with him; for better or worse, Inskeep argues, that's what democracy requires.

Book Discussion | The Moving Image: A User's Manual by Peter B. Kaufman
130 years since the birth of film, the moving image—from movies to TV to Tiktok—is today's most popular information medium. Join Peter B. Kaufman, Senior Program Officer at MIT Learning, for a conversation about the ascendance of video as explored in his new book The Moving Image: A User's Manual, with audio archivist Marcos Sueiro Bal. Video (television, film, the moving image generally) is today's most popular information medium. Two-thirds of the world's internet traffic is video. Americans get their news and information more often from screens and speakers than through any other means. The Moving Image is the first authoritative account of how we have arrived here, together with the first definitive manual to help writers, educators, and publishers use video more effectively. Drawing on decades as an educator, publisher, and producer, MIT's Peter Kaufman presents new tools, best practices, and community resources for integrating film and sound into media that matters. Kaufman describes video's vital role in politics, law, education, and entertainment today, only 130 years since the birth of film. He explains how best to produce video, distribute it, clear rights to it, cite it, and, ultimately, archive and preserve it. With detailed guidance on producing and deploying video and sound for publication, finding and using archival video and sound, securing rights and permissions, developing distribution strategies, and addressing questions about citation, preservation, and storage—across the broadest spectrum of platforms, publications, disciplines, and formats—The Moving Image equips readers for the medium's continued ascendance in education, publishing, and knowledge dissemination in the decades to come.

Lecture | “Daylight at the Exit”: Women Translating Kafka
What does it mean for Kafka’s work that the first translations were by women? Michelle Woods examines this question in a lecture on Milena Jesenská and Willa Muir, and their roles in establishing Kafka as a globally influential writer. For years, both women have been misread and misrepresented: one was idealized as Kafka’s lover, the other faulted for the limitations of Kafka’s translations. Woods challenges these characterizations, re-centering the lives of these brilliant women in the story of Kafka and discussing their feminist impact on modern perceptions of his works.

Book Discussion | A History of the World in Six Plagues: How Contagion, Class, and Captivity Shaped Us, from Cholera to Covid-19 by Edna Bonhomme
Historian and writer Edna Bonhomme discusses her new book A History of the World in Six Plagues: How Contagion, Class, and Captivity Shaped Us, from Cholera to Covid-19. Epidemic diseases enter the world by chance, but they become catastrophic by human design. With clear-eyed research and lush prose, A History of the World in Six Plagues shows that throughout history, outbreaks of disease have been exacerbated by and gone on to further expand the racial, economic, and sociopolitical divides we allow to fester in times of good health. Princeton-trained historian Edna Bonhomme’s examination of humanity’s disastrous treatment of pandemic disease takes us across place and time from Port-au-Prince to Tanzania, and from plantation-era America to our modern COVID-19-scarred world to unravel shocking truths about the patterns of discrimination in the face of disease. Based on in-depth research and cultural analysis, Bonhomme explores Cholera, HIV/AIDS, the Spanish Flu, Sleeping Sickness, Ebola, and COVID-19 amidst the backdrop of unequal public policy. But much more than a remarkable history, A History of the World in Six Plagues is also a rising call for change.

Book Club | Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel by Bonnie Garmus
Set in 1960s California, this blockbuster debut is the hilarious, idiosyncratic and uplifting story of a female scientist whose career is constantly derailed by the idea that a woman's place is in the home, only to find herself starring as the host of America's most beloved TV cooking show. Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the 1960s and despite the fact that she is a scientist, her peers are very unscientific when it comes to equality. The only good thing to happen to her on the road to professional fulfillment is a run-in with her super-star colleague Calvin Evans (well, she stole his beakers.) The only man who ever treated her-and her ideas-as equal, Calvin is already a legend and Nobel nominee. He's also awkward, kind and tenacious. Theirs is true chemistry. But as events are never as predictable as chemical reactions, three years later Elizabeth Zott is an unwed, single mother and the star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's singular approach to cooking ('take one pint of H2O and add a pinch of sodium chloride') and independent example are proving revolutionary. Because Elizabeth isn't just teaching women how to cook, she's teaching them how to change the status quo.

Discussion | Israel on Our Minds with Ambassador Ido Aharoni (in-person and online)
Even those of us who follow the news from Israeli regularly are left with more questions than insight: How should we think about Israel security in the face of a rapidly changing Middle East? What is the government doing in response to the worldwide condemnation of the Jewish State . . . and what could it do? Has the Start-Up Nation sputtered out? Can the breach between the religious and the secular populations be healed — and how? Does the Israeli government take the concerns and opinions of the Jewish diaspora seriously enough? Should it? With so many questions — and so much confusion — they have recruited the ideal person to pull back the curtain on the complicated situation: an Israel diplomat, university professor, writer and investor, Ido Aharoni.
