Discussion | Beyond Neoliberalism
The neoliberal era is coming to an end, but what will replace it? Developing a coherent alternative will require fresh thinking that spans philosophy, economics and political science. This timely conversation will bring together a panel of scholars to explore the ideas that could shape a new economic paradigm. In his new book Free and Equal: A Manifesto for a Just Society, economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler looks to the ideas of John Rawls to reinvigorate liberalism and develop a new model of capitalism that would genuinely work for all. But is Rawls the thinker we need right now? What would a truly just economy look like? And how could we bring it about? The panel will include Daniel Chandler (London School of Economics), Daniel Luban (Columbia) and Seyla Benhabib (Columbia). Suresh Naidu will chair and moderate the discussion.

Book Discussion | Planes Flying Over a Monster by Daniel Saldana Paris
In ten intimate essays, Daniel Saldana Paris explores the cities he has lived in, each one home to a new iteration of himself. In Mexico City he’s a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal —an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid—a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth? At this event, writer Daniel Saldana Paris will discuss his new book with Chloe Cooper Jones.

Discussion | Rethinking the Statue of Liberty with Expert Panelists and Tony Nominee Anna Deavere Smith (in-person and online)
When the Statue of Liberty was installed with great fanfare, speeches, and a celebration of close to 1 million in 1886, no one mentioned immigration, nor did they mention abolition. The association with immigration only came with the passage of decades, and the arrival of millions of immigrants. The formative connection to abolition, the original inspiration for the Statue, was barely known at the time and had long been obscured. Expert panelists resituate the story of this iconic statue: the Pulitzer Prize and Tony nominated actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith who will bring some of the original texts around Lady Liberty to life. Writer Clint Smith, historian Edward Berenson, and sociologist Nancy Foner will explore the tensions and contradictions inherent in the Statue's symbolism, how the Statue's meaning shaped American history, and how our current moment reflects the debates during Lady Liberty's first decade. Dr. Annie Polland, President of the Tenement Museum, will moderate the discussion.

Book Discussion | Playground by Pulitzer Prize Winner Richard Powers (In Person AND Online!)
Playground is the latest novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times best-selling author of The Overstory and Bewilderment. Four lives are drawn together in a sweeping panoramic novel that travels from Chicagoland to the California coast to the South Pacific. A celebrated ocean adventurer, an artist, and two childhood friends who bonded over a 3000-year-old board game converge on the history-scarred island of Makatea in French Polynesia, whose deposits of phosphorus once helped to feed the world. Now the tiny atoll has been chosen for humanity's next adventure: a plan to send floating, autonomous cities out onto the open sea. But first, the island's residents must vote to greenlight the project or turn the seasteaders away. Powers speaks with fellow novelist Marlon James.

Slide Lecture | Photographer Talk
Inspired by Dian Arbus, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Brassaï, and her dad Jack, Meryl Meisler, born in 1951, moved to NYC in 1975 to study with Lisette Model while documenting her own life with a queer quirky eye. After retiring from 31 years as an NYC Public School Art Teacher, Meryl began releasing her archives in exhibits and monographs. Her photographs are a simultaneous celebration of discos and strip clubs, her Jewish family and Long Island suburb, school life in one of Brooklyn's toughest neighborhoods and more. Impertinent and comical, Meryl captures moments of pure joy at the center of daily hardships, plunging us into fascinating times and continues through to today. CLAMP, NYC, and Polka, Paris represent Meryl's work.
