Film | Borderland: The Line Within (2024): Immigrants' Plight


There is a war on immigrants being waged every day in our country, and not just along the southern border – we have become a Borderland, the border is everywhere and within every immigrant. A massive surveillance, militarized and carceral apparatus has been built to capture, detain and deport millions of immigrants. Conservative forces which seek to influence government policy have created a road map for the mass deportation of immigrants. This is a travesty and we need to shift public opinion to support a movement for policy reform that values the human rights and aspirations of immigrants, and welcomes the economic and cultural contributions they bring to our society. The protagonists of thid documentary, all immigrants themselves, express these values while exposing the border industrial complex that provides the scaffolding for the war on immigrants.

Keyshawn Bien-Aime is a college-bound, first generation, Haitian-American honor student from Brooklyn filled with a world of ambition and promise—but he soon realizes that his dream school might actually be a nightmare.

Lecture | Caught in the Imperial Trap: Nikolay Leskov’s The Enchanted Wanderer and Russia’s Colonial Ambitions (in-person and online)


An adept storyteller given to literary experimentation, Leskov is famous for his skaz artistry and highly stylized prose that playfully engages with a mixture of archaic genres. Exemplifying these distinctive qualities, The Enchanted Wanderer (1873) has another important dimension, which reveals a less recognized, but equally significant aspect of Leskov’s craft. As this talk seeks to show, the story is ideologically loaded. It captures the political challenges of its day and addresses them in a satirical mode. This tale of a roaming peasant depicts the Russian empire as a place of nonstop violence, abuse, and subjugation. Shot through with cruel conflicts of all sorts, The Enchanted Wanderer particularly foregrounds the tensions between colonizers and colonized. It portrays the “barbarous Asiatics” as a danger to the civilized world – and in this way the tale, written in the midst of the tsarist army’s conquest of Central Asia (1860s-1880s), seems to justify colonial war. Demeaning Orientalist tropes that figure in the chapters set in the Kazakh steppe seem to support this impression. And yet, as the tale unfolds, it increasingly reverses those tropes to Orientalize Russia and expose its politics of empire. This talk argues that Leskov utilized the skaz technique to compose a complex, multi-layered narrative that ultimately renders colonial ambition as a trap for the Russian nation. Reading The Enchanted Wanderer in the context of the brutal war on the empire’s periphery makes it possible to capture a moment when Russian literature, deeply implicated in the colonial pursuit, began to confront it. As the talk shows, this story marks a turning point in Leskov’s intellectual trajectory: over the two subsequent decades, he would denounce the abuse of subjugated nationalities, speak from their perspective, and rebuke Alexander III’s Russification policies. Speaker Olga Maiorova is Associate Professor of Russian Literature and History at the University of Michigan.

Book Discussion | To Go On Living: Short Stories on the Irreversible Impact of War on Humans


Wars affect human life in the profoundest and most irreversible ways. How does one reconcile the pain of witnessing, survival, and loss? Armenian writer Narine Abgaryan’s short story collection sets out to explore potential answers. Unfolding in an Armenian mountain village in the immediate aftermath of the 1990s Nagorno-Karabakh War, the thirty-one short stories trace the interconnected lives and struggles of villagers who tend to their everyday tasks, engage in quotidian squabbles, and celebrate small joys against a breathtaking landscape.

Book Discussion | Beyond Architecture: The NEW New York (in-person and online)


Walk almost any neighborhood in New York City and the past inevitably collides with the future, since the city is ever-evolving. Today, New York City's legislation provides protected status to 158 historic districts, 1,464 individual landmarks, 123 interior landmarks and even 12 scenic landmarks. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the law's passage, American preservationist and historian Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel commissioned some of the most significant and creative architecture critics, engineers, landscape architects, historians and scholars to explore the complex history of New York City's evolution and its future. This is a lively discussion about the impact, legacy and current and future status of historic preservation in New York City. The discussion is meant to inspire reflection, hope and excitement about the future of the NEW New York City, its complex history and its never-ending transformation.

Lecture | Two Revolutionary Jews: Leon Trotsky and Chaim Zhitlowsky (in-person and online)


What role should Jews play in revolutionary movements? Should they act collectively on their own behalf or as indistinct individuals within majority populations in the interest of universalistic ideals? Or was this a false dichotomy? These questions have defined the basis of left-wing Jewish politics since the 19th century. In this lecture, Tony Michels will discuss two different approaches to revolutionary Jewish politics, as defined by Leon Trotsky and Chaim Zhitlowsky. Both were Russian-born Jews who played seminal roles in the Russian revolutionary movement. Both also came to be seen as embodiments of the modern Jewish experience. However, they gave radically different answers to the predicament of modern Jewry.
