Lecture | “To Certain of Our Philistines”: Alain Locke and the Democratic Promise of Black Art


Can Alain Locke, the black cultural critic and public intellectual now best known for his lifelong commitment to black art and for his editorship of the 1925 anthology, The New Negro: An Interpretation, be read as a political theorist? What would it mean to engage Locke as a political theorist instead of as a cultural critic, and his art criticism as an example of black political thought instead of as a tool in service of his alleged group partisanship? Contemporary scholarship usually treats Locke in the now-familiar terms of identity, multiculturalism, or the politics of recognition. As a consequence, black artistic production comes to be reduced to a cultural means for achieving the political end of building black identity. In this lunchtime lecture, Assistant Professor of Political Science Michelle Smith seeks to move beyond this theoretical impasse, arguing that Locke’s art criticism illuminated and sought to magnify diametrically opposed forces at the core of modernity that would disrupt the structuring hold of “race” on human relations. Speaker Michelle R. Smith, Assistant Professor of Political Science,taught at Cornell University, at Auburn Prison as part of the Cornell Prison Education Program, and at the University of Florida. She is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including most recently the 2011 Western Political Science Association Best Paper in Black Politics. She published “Blackening Europe/Europeanising Blackness: Theorizing the Black Presence in Europe” in Contemporary European History Journal.

Coming Out Muslim is a poignant performance piece that captures stories and experiences of being at the intersections of Islam and queerness and its relationship to family, lovers, one’s sense of self and relationship with our faith. The stories range from tales about other people’s theories about where queerness comes from, the gifts of being queer and Muslim, the tension between one’s culture and religion, and love—romantic and spiritual.

Lecture | From One Island to Another: Dominican Immigration to New York, 1892-1924


A lecture by Ramona Hernández. More than 5,000 Dominicans came to New York City through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924, and many of them came with the idea of staying permanently. How do these Dominicans differ from those who followed them in the 1960s? How do Dominicans who came through Ellis Island resemble other Caribbean Hispanics who lived in New York City at the dawn of the 20th century? Using Ellis Island documents and other institutional archival records, Ramona Hernández paints a compelling portrait of Dominicans who wanted to make New York their permanent home. Hernández is director of the Dominican Studies Institute of the City University of New York, CUNY, and professor of sociology at City College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She is the author of several works on migration and labor, including The Mobility of Workers Under Advanced Capitalism: Dominican Migration to the United States.

Workshop | Introduction to Creating Deeper Intimacy in Relationships


For many of us a capacity for intimacy is a key element to a happy life, but is often difficult to achieve. In this class we will explore what interferes with and fosters intimacy in our relationships, whether it be with a friend, spouse, or family member. Using lectures, group discussion, meditation, yogic breathing, writing and experiential exercises, we will explore: common myths about intimacy and look at what true intimacy is; the role of genuine self-care and expressing needs in deepening intimacy; how to recognize and defuse emotional triggers and minefields; how to cultivate empathic listening and compassionate feedback; how to develop the ability to honestly reveal ourselves and still feel safe; and much more.

Workshop | Retirement Planning Workshop


For many Americans, retiring is a mystery. Earlier generations of workers could rely on employer-provided pensions, but now many workers will need to rely on their own work-related and personal savings plus Social Security benefits. Americans are living longer, so these savings must last longer. Robin Paradowski of the Employee Benefits Security Administration discusses how to identify your individual goals and what steps to take to prepare yourself for your future years. Lisa Boily of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics explains the different types of plans available and what these plans typically cost employees in our region.

Author Reading | April Bernard reads from her book Miss Fuller


She was the most famous woman in America. And nobody knew who she was. It is 1850. Margaret Fuller – feminist, journalist, orator – is returning from Europe where she covered the Italian revolution for The New York Tribune. She is bringing home with her an Italian husband, the Count Ossoli, and their two-year-old son. But this is not the gala return of a beloved American heroine. This is a furtive, impoverished return under a cloud of suspicion and controversy.

Screening | First Features 3, Spring 2012


First Features is a student-run screening series dedicated to the many exemplary and auspicious debuts in cinematic history. While there are certain aesthetic exceptions, the films screened in the series are all "first" works in some sense (debuts, first color films, etc.). Before each screening, a student or faculty member with an interest/expertise in the feature gives a brief introduction in which they consider just what makes this first feature an exemplary model of a debut, both in thematic and formal terms. Screenings are usually followed by a Q&A with the presenter, with prizes awarded for a particularly thoughtful inquiry or observation. Beverages and food are typically served before and after the screening and attendees are encouraged to stick around for a post-screening reception.

Symposium | Missing! European Paintings and the 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco


A public mini-symposium highlighting the 1915 World Fair, its Fine Arts pavilion as well as lost Italian futurist and Hungarian modernist art. Much of the lost art is still unaccounted for - some paintings, however, have resurfaced. Join Heidi Applegate of Columbia University, and Budapest art historian Gergely Barki (the expert who identified a lost chef d'oeuvre of a Hungarian fauve in the background while watching Stuart Little with his children!) in discussing the unique exhibition of 1915 and the fate of the artwork that has gone missing.
