Discussion | Frustration and Challenges: Looking Back on Thirty Years of Democracy Promotion in the Russian Region (online)


For most of the last three decades, the US has sought to promote democracy in most of the countries that once constituted the Soviet Union. The results can charitably be described as mixed. The "other than the Baltic States" mantra notwithstanding, in the rest of the region these efforts have led to a handful of democratic breakthroughs, no meaningful democratic consolidation, widespread frustration and a recognition that the work is much more complex than initially thought. This panel will bring together practitioners, scholars and other relevant actors to reflect on the impact of the democracy promotion project in the region. The discussion will explore the work of democracy promotion, what it got right, what it got wrong and what the future might hold.

Lecture | The Art of Reading and the Studiolo of Urbino (online)


This lecture by Lina Bolzoni begins with Marcel Proust’s beautiful definition of reading: “this wonderful miracle of reading which is communication in the heart of solitude” and goes back to the Renaissance, to the idea of reading as an encounter with the author. The Studiolo of Federico da Montefeltro in Urbino makes a powerful case for the ways in which books and portraits can interact in the silent dialogue with viewer and reader.

Discussion | Trust in Science: How Should Scientists Build Credibility and Engage with Society? (online)


Seventy-three percent of adults in the US agree that science and technology improve our lives, and the majority trust that scientists and researchers play an important role to help solve problems. The scientific ecosystem is built to not just develop solutions to scientific problems and build careers, but also engage communities and communicate scientific development and its impact on the public and society. While the larger population trusts scientists, how do misinformation and disinformation delay or disrupt policy implementation, create a community of non-believers, and stagnate society?

Book Discussion | Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism (online)


Mariana Mazzucato of the the University College in London will present her latest book Even before the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, capitalism was stuck. It had no answers to a host of problems, including disease, inequality, the digital divide and, perhaps most blatantly, the environmental crisis. Taking her inspiration from the 'moonshot' programmes which successfully coordinated public and private sectors on a massive scale, Mariana Mazzucato calls for the same level of boldness and experimentation to be applied to the biggest problems of our time. Mission Economy looks at the grand challenges facing us in a radically new way, arguing that we must rethink the capacities and role of government within the economy and society, and above all recover a sense of public purpose.

Discussion | Can We Eradicate Poverty? (online)


Recently, calls for implementation of a Universal Basic Income have grown, leading to a renewed debate on how to reduce, and eventually eliminate, poverty. The event will bring together experts from the U.S. and E.U to analyze the emerging causes of poverty and explore ways to address the needs of vulnerable populations. How have the causes of poverty, and our understanding of them, developed over time? What have been the results of basic income policies in the U.S. and E.U.? What does current data tell us about the efficacy of a Universal Basic Income? Is poverty eradication a realizable goal?

Discussion | Civil War, Abolition and the National Park Idea (online)


Civil War, Abolition and the National Park Idea will be moderated by Olmsted 200 Honorary Committee Member Sara Zewde and feature Ethan Carr and Rolf Diamant. Carr and Diamant are the co-authors of a new book— Olmsted and Yosemite: Civil War, Abolition and the National Park Idea. Just in time for the bicentennial, the book examines the turbulent pre- and post- Civil War times when Olmsted designed Central Park and wrote the groundbreaking 1865 Yosemite Report. The authors explore Olmsted’s vision of public parks as “keystone institutions of a liberal democracy” and argue that Olmsted’s critical— now largely forgotten— role in the funding of national parks was “manipulated to erase references to an activist government working on behalf of freedom, civil rights, and the remaking of the republic.”

Lecture | Polarization and its (Dis)contents: Russian Activists' Search for "Points of Contact" in the Late Putin Era (online)


Political polarization has been on the minds of Russian activists since at least 2012, when state-affiliated media started pushing the story of a divided nation. Since that time, many independent and oppositional media outlets have also found the "culture war" framing compelling. By now, the trope of a polarized nation has become a discursive commonplace in Russia, and street protests that dramatize clashes of fundamental values have become routine. Long-time experience with "culture war" narratives has meant that most engaged urbanites have come up with answers to both: "Who is to blame?" for pitting citizens against one another, as well as "What is to be done?" In the words of one of Siberian activist, one winning strategy has been to forego finding "points of consensus" on issues that fundamentally divide activist groups for the sake of establishing "points of contact" between them. This talk considers how Russian activists have both used and resisted the imaginary of political polarization in the media, on city streets, and at public gatherings. Specifically, it will focus on how rituals of de-polarization have been used to clear space for the business of forming contingent political coalitions for the sake of joint action. The research for this talk is based on participant observation and interviews conducted with a diverse community of activists working in and beyond Novosibirsk, Russia's third-largest city. Speaker Maria Sidorkina is an Assistant Professor of Slavic and Eurasian Studies and Anthropology at University of Texas at Austin.

Slide Lecture | Photography Under the Night Sky (online)


During this presentation, photographer Imma Barerra will highlight her current project to raise awareness about the importance of nature conservation efforts, in particular, protecting the night sky from light pollution. Preserving the night environment helps support human health and heritage and preserve wildlife habitats. Night photography offers a chance to capture and document scenes that few people ever see nowadays due to artificial light and airglow pollution. The work presented here will focus on a selection of night images captured at several areas of the National Park System, including Glacier, Capitol Reef and Acadia Artist in Residence programs.

Discussion | Foundations: Construction History in New York and Chicago (online)


Chicago and New York offered a handful of very different preconditions that influenced the way skyscrapers were designed and built in the two cities. Chicago's murky soil forced engineers to carefully parse their structures into point supports and broad, snowshoe-like pads, which suggested structures above could be thought of as more skeletal frames than continuous walls. The city's large, regular lot sizes also allowed a regularity in structural grids, and its laissez-faire politics permitted thinner walls than other, eastern cities--at least through 1893, after which unions and builders began a pitched battle over the city's building code. The discussion considers a "ground up" understanding about how buildings were constructed in each city, given the local conditions. Although Manhattan had abundant bedrock, even some of the tallest 19th-century skyscrapers did not rely on it. Small lots and slender towers were common conditions in the dense financial district, whereas Chicago's big blocks and soft soil posed different problems. Donald Friedman of Old Structures Engineeringand and Thomas Leslie of Iowa State University will examine these issues through a series of case studies.

Talk | "What Makes it Italian?" Baroque - Sicily (online)


"What Makes It Italian?" is a music listening and discussion group that meets online and is open to everyone. The group is led by Gina Crusco. She takes a look at stylistic parallels between the most ephemeral of the arts - music, which dissipates moment by moment - and the near-permanent - architecture, constructed to last many lifetimes. Italy is the birthplace of Renaissance architecture and the homeland of Palladianism, a style which influenced design all over the world. The history of Western architecture has been shaped by such edifices as the Duomo of Milan, the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, and the Villa Capra in Vicenza. Nowadays, Italy is in the forefront of modernist architecture, with two Pritzker Architecture Prizes having gone to Italians. Who were the composers who produced music in the regions and during the eras when these great buildings were erected? Does their music reflect then-current architecture trends? The likes of Alessandro Scarlatti, Giuseppe Verdi, and today's young Giovanni Allevi tell the story.

Spanning two centuries and eight generations of the Paisley family, the narrative begins in 2005 with Stanford Solomon, a Jamaican immigrant to the United States who was once known as Abel Paisley before faking his own death 35 years earlier, assuming his dead friend's identity, and estranging himself from his family.

Lecture | Artist Talk: Ephemeral Visuality (online)


William Cordova (b. 1969, Lima, Peru) is interested in the ephemeral visuality of transition and displacement, how objects and perception change and adapt within time and space. Moving from his hometown of Lima to Miami at an early age, and briefly living in Houston, Chicago, and New York City, Cordova integrates the cultural nuances and histories from these environments within his work. Afro-Peruvian cosmology, Andean architecture, and metaphysics deeply influence Cordova’s work, intersecting and merging with contemporary visual languages. Utilizing a variety of materials, including found and discarded objects, feathers, collage, and other reclaimed detritus, Cordova’s multimedia practice weaves coded statements on contemporary social systems and economies within the personal history of objects, challenging the functionality of art as a purely aesthetic pursuit.

Jazz | Sketchbook Quartet: Experimental Jazz from Vienna


The music of the experimental friendly Viennese quartet has little to do with jazz in the classical or traditional sense. Not only is the lineup of Sketchbook Quartet rather unorthodox, but the music and sound is also quite unusual, idiosyncratic and untypical for the genre. The music is all about the mood and atmosphere, creating tension that is constantly increased, until it finally reaches its climax with a big bang. Marked by an abundance of warmth and beauty, the music of the quartet hits a captivating tone of jazz that invites the listener to immerse into the music and drift through the sonic events.

Award-winning author and leading Disability Studies scholar Jennifer Natalya Fink launches her new book, a memoir-qua-provocation hailed as “a magisterial crip-queer reimagining of our disabled pasts and futures." Disability is often described and treated as a tragedy, a crisis, or an aberration, though 1 in 5 people worldwide have a disability. Why, then, is this common human experience rendered as so exceptional? https://www.jennifernatalyafink.com/ TimeMar 22, 2022 07:30 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
