Book Discussion | Cold War Radio: The Russian Broadcasts of the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty


A fascinating look at how the United States waged the Cold War through the international broadcasting of Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Author Mark G. Pomar served in senior positions at VOA and RFE/RL from 1982 to 1993, during which time the Reagan and Bush administrations made VOA and RFE/RL an important part of their foreign policy. Pomar takes readers inside the two radio stations to show how the broadcasts were conceived and developed and the impact they had on international broadcasting, U.S.-Soviet relations, Russian political and cultural history, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Pomar provides nuanced analysis of the broadcasts and sheds light on the multifaceted role the radios played during the Cold War, ranging from instruments of U.S. Cold War policy to repositories of independent Russian culture, literature, philosophy, religion, and the arts.\

Book Discussion | The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism (online)


For more than a century, governments facing financial crisis have resorted to the economic policies of austerity--cuts to wages, fiscal spending, and public benefits--as a path to solvency. While these policies have been successful in appeasing creditors, they've had devastating effects on social and economic welfare in countries all over the world. Today, as austerity remains a favored policy among troubled states, an important question remains: What if solvency was never really the goal? In The Capital Order, political economist Clara E. Mattei explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital--and indeed capitalism--in times of social upheaval from below.

Lecture | The Logic of Putin’s Literary Fantasies: Nineteenth-Century Listening and the Opposition Between Russia and “the West” (online)


In defending his decision to invade Ukraine, Putin talks about “cancel culture,” classical Russian literature, and what he portrays as a moral division between Russia and a collective “West.” This talk draws on new research to situate his argument in historical context, connecting it to ways that 19th-century travelers to Russia and Russian writers themselves talked about listening to bells, song, and the spoken word, and in the process, described Russia and the “West” as fundamentally opposed. Speaker Gabriella Safran teaches Russian and Yiddish literature and folklore in the Slavic Department at Stanford University, where she is the Eva Chernov Lokey Professor in Jewish Studies and serves now as the Senior Associate Dean of Humanities and Arts.

Talk | Loosening Our Tongues: Black Women, Sexuality, and the Black Church (online)


Black women have been the backbone of the Black church. Yet, the Black church has played a pivotal role in promoting oppressive theological teachings that stigmatize reproductive and sexual freedom and bodily autonomy. Dr. Toni M. Bond will discuss the findings from her research about the reproductive and sexual experiences of Black Christian women and how oppressive theological teachings have impacted their lives. Speaker Dr. Toni M. Bond has been a social justice activist for over 30 years. She has worked specifically to elevate the voices of Black women around issues of reproductive and sexual health, rights, and justice. In 1994, Dr. Bond was one of the twelve Black women who gave birth to the concept of “Reproductive Justice,” creating a paradigm shift in how women of color would add their collective voices to the fight for reproductive autonomy and freedom. In 1996, she co-founded and led the first Black women’s reproductive and sexual justice organization in the country, Black Women for Reproductive Justice, which was based in Chicago, Illinois.

Concert | Teabaggin' the big apple: Abstract Sounds


C.O.R.N! is an abstract duo consisting of the two well-educated but supergrounded sound wizards Mykyta Prykhodchenko aka Nick Acorne (Electronics) and Patrick Wurzwallner (Drums). They visual, performative, organized, chaotic and interconnected and virtuously celebrates the spectacularity of human rrror in a controlled environment. The artistic mission of C.O.R.N! is not based on purely self-representational, let alone hedonistic motifs. Refering to the John Cage-esque leitmotif that an audience should rather be laughing than crying, C.O.R.N! take the artistic position of a self-ironic musical meta-entity which strives to emulate and make use of demystifying and self-ironic staging. The visual coquetry with tennis serves, among other things, to visually and humorously counteract the complex and radical musical and compositional decisions and as a result - also while trying to uphold an educational premise - make it more approachable and easily accessible on a broader basis. Furthermore the allegory of sport as well as its established symbolisms do, like no other, serve the purpose of epitomizing the performativity, strong degree of interaction and consequently inherent spectacularity of the process of improvisational live sound generation.
