Lecture | Facing East From Indian Waters: The Maritime and Global Turn in Native American History
Increasingly, scholars are finding that Native American history does not stop at the water’s edge. New and forthcoming work suggests that our old vision of the Native past as a grounded, territorial story is incorrect: from first contact onwards, indigenous people travelled the world and shaped events far from American shores. Ranging from the Pacific to the Arctic to the Caribbean to the Atlantic, the true history of indigenous mariners, whalers, diplomats, and pirates challenges our understanding of how Native people responded to and participated in European global expansion. Speaker Andrew Lipman is an assistant professor of history and the author of the award-winning book The Saltwater Frontier: Indians and the Contest for the American Coast.

Using a combination of demographics, statistics, game theory, and number-crunching, Date-onomics makes the case that lopsided gender ratios among young college graduates — since 2000, 4 women have graduated for every 3 men — are what's really behind the rise of the hookup culture and the worsening dating prospects for educated women.

Discussion | Ensuring Urban Resilience, Come Hell or High Water
The capacity of cities to deal with uncertainty paramount demands high-performing urban resilience measures. As such, creating an enduringly resilient city means innovations etched in steel, bricks and mortar as well as through ‘softscape’ innovations now emerging. Urban resilience also means changes in land use along with better and more equitable ways to protect a city'’s people. Realizing these innovations requires that cities give high priority to advancing the emerging capacities to foster new approaches to climate risk management. Speakers: Nancy Anderson, The Sallan Foundation; Hon. Dawn Zimmer, Mayor, Hoboken; Chris Ward, AECOM; former Executive Director, Port Authority of NY and NJ; former Commissioner, NYC DEP; Michael Gerrard, Professor and Director, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law; Joyce Rosenthal, Mailman School of Public Health; Kate Orff, Columbia GSAPP; Nico Kienzl, Atelier Ten; Juan Camilo Osorio, NY Environmental Justice Alliance; Megan Linkin, SwissRe.

Author Reading | Patricia Palermo discusses her book The Message of the City: Dawn Powell’s New York Novels, 1925–1962
Dawn Powell, a Village resident for most of her life, was a gifted satirist who moved in the same circles as Dorothy Parker, Ernest Hemingway, renowned editor Maxwell Perkins, and other midcentury New York luminaries. Her many novels are typically divided into two groups: those dealing with her native Ohio and those set in New York. “From the moment she left behind her harsh upbringing in Mount Gilead, Ohio, and arrived in Manhattan, in 1918, she dove into city life with an outlander’s anthropological zeal,” reads a recent New Yorker piece about Powell, and it is those New York novels that built her reputation for scouring wit and social observation. In this critical biography and study of the New York novels, Patricia Palermo reminds us how Powell earned a place in the national literary establishment and East Coast social scene.

Workshop | Interactive gaming session of adventure & puzzle game Samorost 3
Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex will be presenting an interactive session of the new artistic game, “Samorost 3” by Amanita Design.

This point-and-click exploration adventure is a loose follow-up to the original indie hits Samorost (2003) and Samorost 2 (2005). It follows a curious space gnome who uses the magical powers of a mysterious flute to travel through the cosmos in search of its origins.

Author Reading | Michael Tackett reads from his book The Baseball Whisperer
Clarinda, Iowa, population 5,000, sits two hours from anything. There, between the corn fields and hog yards, is a ballfield with a bronze bust of a man named Merl Eberly, a baseball whisperer who specialized in second chances and lost causes. The statue was a gift from one of Merl's original long-shot projects, a skinny kid from the ghetto in Los Angeles: Ozzie Smith. The Baseball Whisperer traces the remarkable story of Merl Eberly and his Clarinda A's baseball team, which he tended over the course of five decades, transforming it from a town team to a collegiate summer league powerhouse. Along with Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, future manager Bud Black, and star player Von Hayes, Eberly developed scores of major leaguers -- six of which are currently playing.

Concert | Open Sound System: M.A.K.U. Soundsystem Immigrant Beat with Special Guests
With most of its members hailing from Colombia, M.A.K.U. Soundsystem’s distinctive sound—self-termed as immigrant beat—is enriched with hints of Colombian folklore, psychedelic rock, and Caribbean grooves. Onstage M.A.K.U. juxtaposes traditional Colombian percussion, drum-set, synthesizers, electric bass, guitar, and sizzling horns, creating an explosive performance filled with unshakable grooves. Lyrically, M.A.K.U. talks about the realities of everyday people, encompassing love, hardships, culture, and the immigrant experience, but with a positive, spiritual, and sometimes humorous spin. M.A.K.U. is as much about the music as it is about a way of life. M.A.K.U. Soundsystem expresses the immigrant experience through music with a special lineup of musicians who have inspired them. The evening will feature original songs with guest artists, including People’s Champs, Bulla en el Barrio, Bajah and the Dry Eye Crew, Innov Gnawa, and DJ Sir-Ramases Kofi.
