Lecture | Examined by War: New Bonds and Old Cleavages in Post-Maidan Ukrainian Society


The undeclared Russo-Ukrainian war has substantially changed the political views and geopolitical orientations of many Ukrainians. Even more crucially, it caused some shift in identities and value systems. The ethnically Russian and Russophone part of the Ukrainian population was challenged in particular by the events and was targeted by the Russian propaganda. Most of them, except for the Russia-occupied Crimea and Donbas, stood up for the Ukrainian cause and surprised many foreign observers, let alone the Kremlin, with their newly discovered Ukrainian patriotism and civic loyalty. Speaker Mykola Riabchuk is a senior research fellow at the Institute of Political and Nationalities’ Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and a member of the editorial boards of Krytyka, Porownania, and Journal of South Eastern Europe.

Talk | Artist Talk: Rachel Frank


Artist Rachel Frank will discuss her research, sculptures, and performances as they relate to the environmental practice of Rewilding. Earlier this year, as an artist-in-residence at the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, Frank traveled down the Yukon and Innoko Rivers, gaining rare access to protected areas and visiting indigenous peoples to discuss the 2015 reintroduction of a population of Wood Bison, which marked the first time in over a century this species has lived in the United States. Frank will contextualize her experiences within the broader historical importance of the American Bison and its role in our ecosystem as a keystone species. Her talk will also feature one of her sculpted bison head masks and images related to Rewilding. Rachel Frank uses sculpture, theater, and performance to explore the tensions between the natural world and the man-made, the animal and the political, the past and the present. Her performance pieces have been shown at HERE, Socrates Sculpture Park, The Select Fair, and the Bushwick Starr in New York City, as well as The Marran Theater at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She lives and works in Brooklyn.

Lecture | Exploring Contradictory Politics of Displacement: São Paulo’s Humanitarianism and Occupy Movements


In the Brazilian megalopolis of São Paulo, multiple types of poor and mobile populations share the need for shelter, legal protection, and the access to other social rights. Migrants and refugees, who currently reach the city in their search for a better place of living, have to interpret the city’s networks and institutions, their logics of differentiation as well as their own position vis-à- vis other vulnerable groups. In her talk, Dr. Heike Drotbohm will concentrate on the notion of displacement, which is currently employed both in the field of humanitarian aid as well as by occupy movements, who put it at the center of their social, legal and public acts of resistance. As she intends to show, the term and its political implications prove to be contradictory for people who have experienced dispossession and are asked to join the fight against neoliberal modes of property.

Workshop | Intro Class: Insight Meditation


With: Peter Doobinin Insight meditation—the practice of mindfulness developed in the Theravadan Buddhist tradition—is a straightforward, practical and compassionate approach to spiritual and personal development. It offers us a very effective way to reduce stress, let go of habitual, painful thinking patterns, and develop concentration, ease, well-being, and a deep understanding of the relationship between our body and mind. Through this practice, we learn to live with a more open heart and relate to life more skillfully. In this course, we will discover the fundamentals of this path—the practices of sitting and walking meditation, and the cultivation of mindfulness skills in our daily lives.

Alessandro de' Medici was arguably the first person of color to serve as a head of state in the West. By 19, he was prince of Florence, inheritor of the grandest dynasty of the Italian Renaissance. Derided as a womanizer and a tyrant, he kept his grip on power until he was assassinated at 26 by his cousins. Author Catherine Fletcher tells the riveting tale of his spectacular rise and fall.
