Lecture | How the Past Shapes Democracy in Russia’s Regions: The Effect of Pre-Communist Literacy and Communist Party Recruitment Patterns


A talk with Tomila Lankina, Associate Professor, International Relations Department, London School of Economics. Twenty-five years after the collapse of communism in Europe, few scholars disagree that the past continues to shape post-communist states’ democratic trajectories. Scholars have found that pre-communist education levels have ostensibly helped to foster resistance to communism. To explain varying degrees of democracy in Russia's regions, Lankina proposes a different causal mechanism. Her project highlights the Leninist regimes’ successful appropriation of the literate strata of the Tsarist-era, through recruitment into the communist party in Russia’s regions. Party saturation had a dampening effect on the otherwise positive effects of pre-communist education on post-communist democracy.

Tour | Chelsea and the High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to city markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the city to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park. This tour takes place Monday and Fridays at 6pm.

Lecture | Citizenship and New Forms of Active Participation: The European Experience


The recent economic and social crisis in Europe has generated a crisis in representative democracy. Large portions of the population feel alienated from the political process, while others have little access to it at all. While activist citizenship and participatory democracy can offer solutions to these problems, neither can do so unless people are fully empowered to make decisions at every level of government. In this talk, sociologist Thomas P. Boje (Department of Society and Globalization, Roskilde University) asks: how can we enhance the participation of citizens in our democracy even as we see trust in our traditional social and political institutions declining? How do we create equal participation when our economic, social, and cultural resources are currently shared unequally? And how does participatory democracy affect those who have been historically disenfranchised?

Lecture | The Good Listener: Behavioral Neuroscience Considers the Perception of Speech


Our talkative species occupies much of our time each day in conversation. Historical views of this loquaciousness often expressed singular interest in personal motive, asking: What could individuals hope to achieve with so much talk? How do aims shape expressions? It is hardly surprising that such abstract concerns were difficult to satisfy. In our technical era, scrutiny has turned to mechanism, and the psychological focus has been placed on cognitive resources: What must interlocutors know and be able to do in order to converse? Lecturer Robert Remez is Professor of Psychology. A native New Yorker, he was a Predoctoral Research Trainee at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven, and received the doctorate in 1978 from the University of Connecticut. This lecture is in three parts: Monday November 9, Monday November 16, and Monday November 23.
