Kundun

Directed by Martin Scorsese

Wednesday, April 1, 2026
11:50 am – 1:10 pm

Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema
In 1937, a 2 1/2-year-old boy from a humble family in Tibet was recognized as the 14th reincarnation of the Buddha of Compassion, destined to become the spiritual and political leader of his people. Director Martin Scorsese brings to the screen the true story of the Dalai Lama. Kundun (1997) brings to life the account of the Dalai Lama's early life, from childhood through the Chinese invasion of Tibet and his journey into exile in northern India, where he remains today. The film also features an award-winning score by Philip Glass.

Due to Chinese business interests, most streaming services have long banned Kundun, including Netflix and Amazon Prime. The film has been largely silenced by those who do not want the biographical account of the 14th Dalai Lama, inclusive of Mao Zedong's 1959 takeover of Tibet and the subsequent atrocities there, to be told. (1).

Open to faculty, staff, and students.

Framing Equality: The Politics of Gay Marriage Wars With Omar Encarnación and Michael Sadowski

Wednesday, April 1, 2026
5:30–6:30 pm

Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library
Although a lot has been said about the factors behind the stunning success of the marriage equality movement, not much is known about why the global struggle over gay marriage varied across countries with respect to the severity of the conservative backlash and the legacy for LGBTQ equality. Join us for a conversation with Charles Flint Kellogg Professor of Politics Omar G. Encarnacion and Associate Dean of the College Michael Sadowski about Omar’s new book, Framing Equality: The Politics of Gay Marriage Wars (Oxford University Press, 2025). The book looks at how gay marriage activists framed their advocacy in Spain, the United States, and Brazil, and the consequences of this framing for gay marriage and LGBTQ equality.

The two must embark on a transformative journey. From filmmaker Nabil Ayouch comes a dramatic and dark mise-en-scène of a dispossessed youth in an economically fractured society. Horses of God is an invitation to reflect on personal agency, interpersonal violence, and systemic marginalization. Running time: 1 hour 55 minutes.

When Identity is Questioned or Denied: Multiracial Identity Contestation and Racial Socialization, a Talk By Dr. Diana Sanchez, Rutgers University

The Andrew J. Bernstein Foundation and Psychology Program Present

Thursday, April 2, 2026
4–5 pm

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
The number of Americans identifying with more than one racial identity has increased substantially in recent years, yet Multiracial individuals continue to face unique racial challenges in a culture that emphasizes mutually exclusive racial categories. These challenges include having their racial identity questioned and denied. This talk examines how identity contestation shapes Multiracial individuals’ race concept reflection and beliefs as well as their psychological well-being. This presentation also explores how parents socialize their Multiracial children, and whether preparing their children for multiracial-specific racism serves as a protective factor that supports psychological well-being in the face of identity contestation.

This lecture is made possible through the generous support of the Andrew J. Bernstein Foundation. It is free and open to the public. For more information email [email protected].

A Life Through Physics

Cécile DeWitt-Morette and Bryce DeWitt

Friday, April 3, 2026
12 pm

Brody Lab - Hegeman 107
In this special edition of Physics Friday, we will host Christiane 'Chris' DeWitt, daughter of well known physicists Cécile DeWitt-Morette and Bryce DeWitt. Cécile DeWitt-Morette developed a foundational method for calculating the path integrals appearing in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory and founded the Les Houches School of Physics. She has recently been selected as one of 72 French women scientists to have their names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. The Les Houches summer schools are famous amongst physicists and mathematicians both for their lively lessons and for the camaraderie that permeated the schools. Bryce DeWitt was a wide-ranging physicist who developed one of the first rigorous approaches to quantum gravity, investigated the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, and was a pioneer in the numerical relativity techniques that are now so key to gravitational wave measurement. In this informal interview, physics program member Hal Haggard will ask Chris about her family’s many intersections with physicists and the dynamic era of physics after 1950. Chris’ own life path has taken her beyond physics, but she will bring her sharp observational personality and joy in family stories to this conversation.

Virtual Reading Group

Friday, April 3, 2026
1 pm

Online Event
We're reading Crises of the Republic. In this collection of four essays, Hannah Arendt investigates the political ruptures of the twentieth century—probing civil disobedience, violence, bureaucratic power, and the erosion of authority. With her unsparing clarity and historical insight, Arendt illuminates the pressures that distort democratic life and the possibilities for renewed political action. Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.

The Virtual Reading Group is free to HAC members and to the Bard College community. Find the full Virtural Reading Group schedule here: hac.bard.edu/programs/vrg/ Email [email protected] to learn more.

Making Change: A Discussion on Economic Fairness and Social Justice

 

Panel x Networking Night

Friday, April 3, 2026 – Saturday, April 4, 2026
6–9 pm

Olin 102 and Lobby
Join Civic Ambassadors and the Bard College Center for Civic Engagement for an evening exploring the intersections of social and economic justice—from national policy debates to community organizing in our own backyard.

In an era of widening wealth gaps, rising housing costs, and working families struggling to make ends meet across the country, what does economic justice look like? How do race, gender, immigration status, and geography shape who has access to opportunity? And what can we—as students, community members, and engaged citizens—do to build a more equitable economy?

Our panel and networking night brings together organizers, workers, advocates, alumnus and local leaders who are fighting for economic fairness at multiple scales. We'll explore how national systems of inequality play out in communities like the Hudson Valley and beyond, examine the connections between local struggles and broader movements, and discover pathways to meaningful change wherever you are. Bring your questions, your concerns, and your commitment to building a fairer future.

Making Change: A Discussion on Economic Fairness and Social Justice

 

Panel x Networking Night

Friday, April 3, 2026 – Saturday, April 4, 2026
6–9 pm

Olin 102 and Lobby
Join Civic Ambassadors and the Bard College Center for Civic Engagement for an evening exploring the intersections of social and economic justice—from national policy debates to community organizing in our own backyard.

In an era of widening wealth gaps, rising housing costs, and working families struggling to make ends meet across the country, what does economic justice look like? How do race, gender, immigration status, and geography shape who has access to opportunity? And what can we—as students, community members, and engaged citizens—do to build a more equitable economy?

Our panel and networking night brings together organizers, workers, advocates, alumnus and local leaders who are fighting for economic fairness at multiple scales. We'll explore how national systems of inequality play out in communities like the Hudson Valley and beyond, examine the connections between local struggles and broader movements, and discover pathways to meaningful change wherever you are. Bring your questions, your concerns, and your commitment to building a fairer future.

Literature Salon
The National Uterus: Gender and Queer Theory in Japanese Sci-Fi

Chiara Pavone, Assistant Professor of Japanese

Monday, April 6, 2026
5 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 201
In the past few decades, and especially since the March 2011 Fukushima Disaster, an interest in the role of women, followed by a set of policies referred to as “Womenomics,” has emerged within Japanese society and political discourse. Through the analysis of two dystopian novels appeared in 2016 – Kubo Misumi’s Akagami (“Red Slip”) and Koyata Natsuki’s Rirīsu (“Release,”), both currently unavailable in English– this presentation will explore the inchoate anxieties of politicians, intellectuals and the everyman regarding such role, and the way in which they shape the post-disaster future imagined by women writers of dystopian and science fiction.

Conditional Companions: Urban Planning and the Limits of Canine Belonging from Singapore

V. Chitra, Australian National University

Monday, April 6, 2026
5 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 205
This paper examines how urban planning, animal governance, and racial politics converge in the production of interspecies belonging in Singapore. Focusing on the category of the “Singapore Special”—a term used to describe local mongrel dogs—it traces how public housing policy, colonial legacies of environmental control, and racialized ideas of order shape the conditions under which dogs can become companions, citizens, a distinct breed, or threats.
 
Drawing on ethnographic research with animal welfare groups, fosterers, and state-run facilities, alongside a personal account of attempting to recover a lost foster dog during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the paper explores how unruly animal lives are governed through bureaucratic classification, behavioral training, and spatial regulation. Recent shifts away from mass culling toward sterilization and rehoming programs appear to signal a more humane approach to animal care. Yet these interventions hinge on the transformation of “feral” dogs into governable subjects—requiring them to demonstrate proper conduct, emotional regulation, and adaptability within the tightly regulated spaces of public housing.
 
The paper argues that these forms of canine governance mirror racialized modes of human belonging in Singapore, where access to housing, mobility, and security is mediated through administrative categories and ideals of civility. The production of the “Singapore Special” operates as a species analogue to bureaucratic citizenship, rendering care conditional and unevenly distributed. The paper shows how anxieties about urban unruliness are managed through the biopolitical regulation of animal bodies. It wrestles with the conditions under which significant otherness remains structurally excluded and the limits of companionship and care that do not accommodate refusal, flight, and ferality.

Albertine French Film Festival: L’armée des ombres

Director: Jean-Pierre Melville, 1969, 2h25 min.

Tuesday, April 7, 2026
7:30 pm

Jim Ottaway Jr. Film Center

The most personal film by the acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Melville (Le Samouraï), who had participated in the French Resistance himself, this tragic masterpiece, based on a novel by Joseph Kessel, recounts the struggles and sacrifices of those who fought in the Resistance. Lino Ventura, Paul Meurisse, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and the incomparable Simone Signoret star as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their conception of honor in their battle against Hitler’s regime. Long underappreciated in France and unseen in the United States, the atmospheric and gripping thriller Army of Shadows is now widely recognized as the summit of Melville’s career, channeling the exquisite minimalism of his gangster films to create an unsparing tale of defiance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

“...any moviegoers with a weakness for dry heroism, dark-toned humor, and storytelling of pantherish pace and grace—in short, lovers of cinema—should reach for their fedoras, turn up the collars of their coats, and sneak to this picture through a mist of rain.” – The New Yorker 

Click here to view the film's trailer.

This festival is supported by a grant from Albertine Cinémathèque, part of the French for All initiative by Villa Albertine–The French Institute for Culture and Education, and Albertine Foundation. It is made possible with the support of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC). All films will be introduced in English and shown with English subtitles.

Edhi Alice: TAKE begins from the perspective of Alice, a gaffer pushed out of the field, as she confronts her own body and transitions into the journey of another protagonist, Edhi, who discovers a new sense of embodiment. The narrative expands beyond a personal life story to encompass relationships, bodily experiences, and the sense of space—becoming a cinematic transformation.

Virtual Reading Group

Friday, April 10, 2026
1 pm

Online Event
We're reading Crises of the Republic. In this collection of four essays, Hannah Arendt investigates the political ruptures of the twentieth century—probing civil disobedience, violence, bureaucratic power, and the erosion of authority. With her unsparing clarity and historical insight, Arendt illuminates the pressures that distort democratic life and the possibilities for renewed political action. Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.

The Virtual Reading Group is free to HAC members and to the Bard College community. Find the full Virtural Reading Group schedule here: hac.bard.edu/programs/vrg/ Email [email protected] to learn more.

Don't worry if you miss a VRG meeting! We post them all on our YouTube channel the week after they're recorded. Or tune in to an edited version of the chapter readings plus bonus episodes on our podcast, Reading Hannah Arendt with Roger Berkowitz.
