Book Discussion | Cities of Repetition: Hong Kong’s Private Housing Estates (online)
New York and Hong Kong are dense, intense vertical cities. In this truly international webinar, architects and educators Jason Carlow, a professor of Architecture at the American University of Sharjah, UAE and Christian Lange from the University of Hong Kong, will describe their joint study Cities of Repetition. Their book provides a powerful, comprehensive, graphic documentation and analysis of the largest Hong Kong housing estates built by private developers from the late 1960’s through the early 2000’s. Their images both illustrate the ultra-dense, mass-produced, highly-repetitive built environments in which hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong residents live but also capture the subtle differences in the variations of repetition. After their presentation, the speakers will be joined in dialogue with NYC housing scholar Nicholas Dagen Bloom, Professor of Urban Policy and Planning at Hunter College, and Museum director Carol Willis for a discussion of the comparative housing models of New York, Hong Kong, and other cities where repetition is both a development and a housing strategy.

Book Discussion | Dear Unknown Friend: Correspondence between American and Soviet Women
In the tense years of WWII and the early Cold War, American and Soviet women took up a remarkable pen-pal correspondence that enabled them to see each other as friends rather than enemies. Previously unexamined, these letters movingly demonstrate the power of the personal, as the pen pals engaged in a “diplomacy of the heart” that led them to question why their countries were so divided. The correspondence also inspired them individually to reexamine their own societies and lives through a critical lens. With author Alexis Peri, an Associate Professor of History at Boston University.

Book Discussion | Our Nation at Risk: Election Integrity as a National Security Issue
In recent years, the sight of gun-wielding citizens patrolling ballot boxes and voting sites has become increasingly familiar. Major news corporations parroting false claims of election fraud, ballot stuffing, and faulty voting systems is the new normal. In an era of global anti-democratic movements, the sanctity of democratic electoral processes has become a major national security concern, and the need to protect elections from foreign interference, disinformation, voter intimidation, and the danger of election results being overturned, are now front and center. How did we get here? And more importantly, how will this affect the future of democracy? With author Karen J. Greenberg, Director of the Center on National Security at Fordham Law.

Debut author Mellody Hobson, barrier-breaking pioneer in the world of finance, demystifies money for kids with a look at some wild and weird facts about what makes the world go round. What is the meaning of all those symbols on US bills (and why are they so hard to counterfeit)? What’s with people calling money “bacon” or “cheddar” or “smackeroonies”? With savvy and wit, financial expert Mellody Hobson sheds a friendly light on a daunting subject, from the meteorites that created the first mineral deposits to the ancient Maya who used chocolate as currency to the beginnings of the banking system itself. Readers learn about bartering, profit and loss, the origins of credit, ATMs, and even fun facts about money around the world. In her first children’s book, Mellody Hobson brings excitement to the realm of financial literacy and gives kids the tools they need to navigate money now and in the future. At this event, Hobson will discuss her new book with Raymond J. McGuire.
