What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger marks the first in-depth examination of artist Ho Tzu Nyen’s multifaceted practice (b. 1976, Singapore) in the United States. Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].

Academic Freedom: From Professional Norm to First Amendment Right
Monday, December 2, 2024 11:30 am
Online Event 11:30 AM New York l 5:30 PM Vienna
David M. Rabban will present his recent book on Academic Freedom: From Professional Norm to First Amendment Right. He will compare the concept of academic freedom as a professional norm in the United States with the treatment of academic freedom as a constitutional right by American courts and discuss the controversial relationship between academic freedom and general rights of free speech in both professional and judicial interpretations. After analyzing the case law about academic freedom as a constitutional right of both professors and universities, he will present a theory of academic freedom as a distinctive constitutional right designed to promote the production and dissemination of expert knowledge.
There will be an introduction by Shalini Randeria, CEU President and Rector and discussion with Michael Ignatieff, CEU President and Rector (2016-2021) and Professor, CEU Department of Historical Studies.
Rabban served as counsel to the American Association of University Professors for several years before joining the Texas faculty in 1983. His teaching and research focus on free speech, higher education and the law, and American legal history. He is the author of Free Speech in Its Forgotten Years, 1870-1920, which received the Forkosch Prize from the Journal of the History of Ideas for "the best book in intellectual history published in 1997."

Olin Humanities, Room 305 How is it that we have the 1008 hymns of the Rg Veda, as they were recited around 1000 BCE? How is it that we know what the Buddha said, who lived around 500 BCE, when his words were not written down for some 400 years? Why do we have the massive 100,000 verse Sanskrit epic Mahabharata? In early India, specialist communities organized themselves to carry out the labor of memorizing and transmitting important works of cultural and religious memory, orally, over many centuries. These communities included Vedic Brahmins, Buddhist monks and nuns, and epic bards. This talk will explore the social organization of oral textual transmission in ancient India, and how this relates to writing a narrative history of Indian religious cultures.Sponsored by: Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

“Teaching Against Race and Racism: Addressing Contemporary AntiSemitism, Islamophobia and Xenophobia” with Uzi Baram
Wednesday, December 4, 2024 4–5:30 pm
Online Event 4 PM New York l 10 PM Vienna
AltLiberalArts presents a webinar with Uzi Baram, exploring how teaching on the history of race facilitates addressing social ills of our times including antisemitism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia.
Race and racism continue to haunt our world, with social divides reflecting and accelerating inequalities and inequities. Teaching on race and racism is part of a liberal arts education but has been mocked as woke in current political discourse.
Baram will reflect on a quarter century of teaching a course on race and ethnicity at New College of Florida, where he has taught archaeology and cultural anthropology courses, supervised nearly one hundred theses, created the New College Public Archaeology Lab with its commitment to radical openness and community engagement, and published on the archaeology of the Ottoman Empire, the southern route of the Underground Railroad, and on heritage.
Uzi Baram, born in Haifa, Israel and raised on Long Island, New York, obtained a BA in Anthropology from the State University of New York at Binghamton and MA and PhD from the University of Massachusetts focused on the archaeology of the recent past.
Please join us weekly. Stay for as long as you like.

Hegeman 107 Earth’s solid iron alloy inner core was not discovered until 1936, a year after Pluto’s discovery. Its remoteness made it difficult to observe, and its temperature (over 6000 K) and pressure (3 million times atmospheric pressure) made it difficult to study its physical properties. This began to change in the 1980’s, with advances in seismology and mineral physics revealing surprising and difficult to explain properties.
The talk will begin with a review of basic deep Earth structure, its material properties, and the geomagnetic field, which is generated in the liquid iron alloy outer core. Then we will discuss some of the unusual properties of the inner core, and possible dynamical causes, which give hints about Earth’s evolution. We conclude with some recent work on ultrasonic scattering which tries to understand anomalously high inner core seismic attenuation.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.

At the dawn of the Italian Renaissance, Siena was the site of phenomenal artistic innovation and activity. Sienese artists including Duccio, Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, and Simone Martini played a pivotal role in defining Western painting. Over 500 years later, Richard Wagner revolutionized opera composition in much the same way. Twelve years after he read Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival, a poem from just 100 years before Siena’s painting revolution, he began working on a libretto inspired by this tale of the quest for the Holy Grail. This eventually became his final composition, the opera Parsifal.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 6–7:30 pm
Online Event 6 PM New York l 12 AM Vienna
AltLiberalArts presents a webinar with PEN America’s Madison Markham, who will discuss PEN America’s book ban research from the 2023-2024 school year, and what lies ahead.
Since the 2021 “parental rights” movement began as a backlash to progress made after the 2020 racial justice uprisings, book banning in public schools in the United States has skyrocketed. From over 3,000 school book bans in the 2022-2023 school year, to over 10,000 in the 2023-2024 school year, book banning is a crisis in the United States, particularly targeting books featuring diverse characters or certain subjects.
Madison Markham (she/they), is the Program Assistant for the Freedom to Read Program at PEN America, where they support PEN America’s work researching book bans and aiding grassroots advocates across the country. She has testified to the United Nations Human Rights Committee in defense of free expression and inclusivity within higher education in Florida and facilitated a roundtable on book bans with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to education. They have a Bachelor’s in Sociology/Gender Studies from New College of Florida, where they helped lead student organizing efforts to protect free expression and inclusivity at the college, including co-hosting the [NEW] Commencement alternative graduation.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Preston Theater How does art survive in a time of oppression? Join us for a film screening of The Desert of Forbidden Art, which aims to answer this question. During the Soviet rule artists who stayed true to their vision were executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky, who daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artists’ works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Described as "one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century Russian art" and located in one of the world's poorest regions, today these paintings are worth millions. The collection remains as endangered as when Savitsky first created it, posing the question whose responsibility it is to preserve this cultural treasure.

Tuneable Multiphase Dynamics of Biomolecular Condensates
A talk by Shana Elbaum from The Advanced Science Research Center at The Graduate Center, CUNY
Friday, December 13, 2024 12 pm
Hegeman 107 Biomolecules, including proteins and nucleic acids, can self-assemble into materials with an incredible range of physical properties exquisitely tied to their physiological function – from the fluidity of dynamic membraneless organelles, to the elasticity of elastin fibers in the heart and lungs. Despite their functional significance, there remain substantial gaps in understanding how individual proteins and/or nucleic acids self-organize on the molecular scale to produce unique material outputs on the mesoscale. Our group combines molecular and cellular biology with biophysical and material science approaches in order to extract fundamental principles governing protein self-assembly into bio-materials (or (“condensates”) with unique material properties, dynamics and internal organization.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Bard Hall On Friday, December 13th at 7:00 p.m. the MUS 108 Bard Experimental Music Ensemble directed by Prof. Sarah Hennies, dir.) presents two large ensemble works. “Growing Block” by Sarah Hennies is an open-instrumentation guided improvisation/composition based on the “growing block universe” theory followed by a 40-minute work by acclaimed Swiss composer Jürg Frey, “Ephemeral Constructions.” Frey’s work asks performers to select their own sounds from any instruments and found objects in long-form, slowly developing music that is percussive in its first half and droning in the second movement. Frey is a member of the Wandelweiser group of composers, known for their radical work with extended durations, silence, and other experiments in timbre, perception, and sound.

Petra Kelly and the Making of the Global Green Movement
Thursday, December 19, 2024
Online Event 11:30 AM New York l 5:30 PM Vienna
Open Society Hub for the Politics of the Anthropocene at CEU presents a hybrid discussion with Stephen Milder, an environmental historian at the Rachel Carson Center in Munich, on "Petra Kelly and the Making of the Global Green Movement."
Green parties have frequently been studied as distinct national cases. Petra Kelly, co-founder of the West German Greens, understood Green politics differently. A globetrotting activist, she supported grassroots struggles everywhere she went and played a part in the formation of Green parties in many parts of the world. Following Kelly on her travels within Western Europe, East Germany, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia, as well as the United States, Australia, Japan, and India, Milder's talk shows how a global green movement emerged in the 1980s, and positions Kelly and the West German Greens within that development. In showing Kelly’s seminal role in the making of a “Global Green Movement,” the paper also raises questions about how her ideas influence the Greens in the present.
Milder received his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2012, and has worked at Duke University, Rutgers University, and the University of Groningen before coming to Munich. He is the author of Greening Democracy: The Antinuclear Movement and Political Environmentalism in West Germany and Beyond, 1968-1983 (2017). Currently, he is writing a history of the emergence of climate politics at the end of the Cold War and editing a source edition of documents related to Petra Kelly’s international travels.

Free to HAC members and to Bard students, staff, and faculty! Email [email protected] for the Zoom link.

Disegno: Selections from the R & Company Archives Collection
On view now through December 13 on the first floor of Stevenson Library.
Runs through Friday, December 13, 2024
Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library
What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger marks the first in-depth examination of artist Ho Tzu Nyen’s multifaceted practice (b. 1976, Singapore) in the United States. Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].

Academic Freedom: From Professional Norm to First Amendment Right
Monday, December 2, 2024 11:30 am
Online Event 11:30 AM New York l 5:30 PM Vienna
David M. Rabban will present his recent book on Academic Freedom: From Professional Norm to First Amendment Right. He will compare the concept of academic freedom as a professional norm in the United States with the treatment of academic freedom as a constitutional right by American courts and discuss the controversial relationship between academic freedom and general rights of free speech in both professional and judicial interpretations. After analyzing the case law about academic freedom as a constitutional right of both professors and universities, he will present a theory of academic freedom as a distinctive constitutional right designed to promote the production and dissemination of expert knowledge.
There will be an introduction by Shalini Randeria, CEU President and Rector and discussion with Michael Ignatieff, CEU President and Rector (2016-2021) and Professor, CEU Department of Historical Studies.
Rabban served as counsel to the American Association of University Professors for several years before joining the Texas faculty in 1983. His teaching and research focus on free speech, higher education and the law, and American legal history. He is the author of Free Speech in Its Forgotten Years, 1870-1920, which received the Forkosch Prize from the Journal of the History of Ideas for "the best book in intellectual history published in 1997."

Olin Humanities, Room 305 How is it that we have the 1008 hymns of the Rg Veda, as they were recited around 1000 BCE? How is it that we know what the Buddha said, who lived around 500 BCE, when his words were not written down for some 400 years? Why do we have the massive 100,000 verse Sanskrit epic Mahabharata? In early India, specialist communities organized themselves to carry out the labor of memorizing and transmitting important works of cultural and religious memory, orally, over many centuries. These communities included Vedic Brahmins, Buddhist monks and nuns, and epic bards. This talk will explore the social organization of oral textual transmission in ancient India, and how this relates to writing a narrative history of Indian religious cultures.Sponsored by: Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program.

“Teaching Against Race and Racism: Addressing Contemporary AntiSemitism, Islamophobia and Xenophobia” with Uzi Baram
Wednesday, December 4, 2024 4–5:30 pm
Online Event 4 PM New York l 10 PM Vienna
AltLiberalArts presents a webinar with Uzi Baram, exploring how teaching on the history of race facilitates addressing social ills of our times including antisemitism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia.
Race and racism continue to haunt our world, with social divides reflecting and accelerating inequalities and inequities. Teaching on race and racism is part of a liberal arts education but has been mocked as woke in current political discourse.
Baram will reflect on a quarter century of teaching a course on race and ethnicity at New College of Florida, where he has taught archaeology and cultural anthropology courses, supervised nearly one hundred theses, created the New College Public Archaeology Lab with its commitment to radical openness and community engagement, and published on the archaeology of the Ottoman Empire, the southern route of the Underground Railroad, and on heritage.
Uzi Baram, born in Haifa, Israel and raised on Long Island, New York, obtained a BA in Anthropology from the State University of New York at Binghamton and MA and PhD from the University of Massachusetts focused on the archaeology of the recent past.
Please join us weekly. Stay for as long as you like.

Hegeman 107 Earth’s solid iron alloy inner core was not discovered until 1936, a year after Pluto’s discovery. Its remoteness made it difficult to observe, and its temperature (over 6000 K) and pressure (3 million times atmospheric pressure) made it difficult to study its physical properties. This began to change in the 1980’s, with advances in seismology and mineral physics revealing surprising and difficult to explain properties.
The talk will begin with a review of basic deep Earth structure, its material properties, and the geomagnetic field, which is generated in the liquid iron alloy outer core. Then we will discuss some of the unusual properties of the inner core, and possible dynamical causes, which give hints about Earth’s evolution. We conclude with some recent work on ultrasonic scattering which tries to understand anomalously high inner core seismic attenuation.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

At the dawn of the Italian Renaissance, Siena was the site of phenomenal artistic innovation and activity. Sienese artists including Duccio, Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, and Simone Martini played a pivotal role in defining Western painting. Over 500 years later, Richard Wagner revolutionized opera composition in much the same way. Twelve years after he read Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival, a poem from just 100 years before Siena’s painting revolution, he began working on a libretto inspired by this tale of the quest for the Holy Grail. This eventually became his final composition, the opera Parsifal.

“Beyond the Shelves: Tracking and Confronting the Movement to Censor Books” with Madison Markham
Wednesday, December 11, 2024 6–7:30 pm
Online Event 6 PM New York l 12 AM Vienna
AltLiberalArts presents a webinar with PEN America’s Madison Markham, who will discuss PEN America’s book ban research from the 2023-2024 school year, and what lies ahead.
Since the 2021 “parental rights” movement began as a backlash to progress made after the 2020 racial justice uprisings, book banning in public schools in the United States has skyrocketed. From over 3,000 school book bans in the 2022-2023 school year, to over 10,000 in the 2023-2024 school year, book banning is a crisis in the United States, particularly targeting books featuring diverse characters or certain subjects.
Madison Markham (she/they), is the Program Assistant for the Freedom to Read Program at PEN America, where they support PEN America’s work researching book bans and aiding grassroots advocates across the country. She has testified to the United Nations Human Rights Committee in defense of free expression and inclusivity within higher education in Florida and facilitated a roundtable on book bans with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to education. They have a Bachelor’s in Sociology/Gender Studies from New College of Florida, where they helped lead student organizing efforts to protect free expression and inclusivity at the college, including co-hosting the [NEW] Commencement alternative graduation.

Preston Theater How does art survive in a time of oppression? Join us for a film screening of The Desert of Forbidden Art, which aims to answer this question. During the Soviet rule artists who stayed true to their vision were executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky, who daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artists’ works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Described as "one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century Russian art" and located in one of the world's poorest regions, today these paintings are worth millions. The collection remains as endangered as when Savitsky first created it, posing the question whose responsibility it is to preserve this cultural treasure.

Tuneable Multiphase Dynamics of Biomolecular Condensates
A talk by Shana Elbaum from The Advanced Science Research Center at The Graduate Center, CUNY
Friday, December 13, 2024 12 pm
Hegeman 107 Biomolecules, including proteins and nucleic acids, can self-assemble into materials with an incredible range of physical properties exquisitely tied to their physiological function – from the fluidity of dynamic membraneless organelles, to the elasticity of elastin fibers in the heart and lungs. Despite their functional significance, there remain substantial gaps in understanding how individual proteins and/or nucleic acids self-organize on the molecular scale to produce unique material outputs on the mesoscale. Our group combines molecular and cellular biology with biophysical and material science approaches in order to extract fundamental principles governing protein self-assembly into bio-materials (or (“condensates”) with unique material properties, dynamics and internal organization.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Bard Hall On Friday, December 13th at 7:00 p.m. the MUS 108 Bard Experimental Music Ensemble directed by Prof. Sarah Hennies, dir.) presents two large ensemble works. “Growing Block” by Sarah Hennies is an open-instrumentation guided improvisation/composition based on the “growing block universe” theory followed by a 40-minute work by acclaimed Swiss composer Jürg Frey, “Ephemeral Constructions.” Frey’s work asks performers to select their own sounds from any instruments and found objects in long-form, slowly developing music that is percussive in its first half and droning in the second movement. Frey is a member of the Wandelweiser group of composers, known for their radical work with extended durations, silence, and other experiments in timbre, perception, and sound.

Petra Kelly and the Making of the Global Green Movement
Thursday, December 19, 2024
Online Event 11:30 AM New York l 5:30 PM Vienna
Open Society Hub for the Politics of the Anthropocene at CEU presents a hybrid discussion with Stephen Milder, an environmental historian at the Rachel Carson Center in Munich, on "Petra Kelly and the Making of the Global Green Movement."
Green parties have frequently been studied as distinct national cases. Petra Kelly, co-founder of the West German Greens, understood Green politics differently. A globetrotting activist, she supported grassroots struggles everywhere she went and played a part in the formation of Green parties in many parts of the world. Following Kelly on her travels within Western Europe, East Germany, the Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia, as well as the United States, Australia, Japan, and India, Milder's talk shows how a global green movement emerged in the 1980s, and positions Kelly and the West German Greens within that development. In showing Kelly’s seminal role in the making of a “Global Green Movement,” the paper also raises questions about how her ideas influence the Greens in the present.
Milder received his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2012, and has worked at Duke University, Rutgers University, and the University of Groningen before coming to Munich. He is the author of Greening Democracy: The Antinuclear Movement and Political Environmentalism in West Germany and Beyond, 1968-1983 (2017). Currently, he is writing a history of the emergence of climate politics at the end of the Cold War and editing a source edition of documents related to Petra Kelly’s international travels.

Online Event REMINDER: THE VIRTUAL READING GROUP IS ON WINTER BREAK, DECEMBER 20 - JANUARY 24
After the break, we will finish discussing Hannah Arendt's Between Past and Future, which describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, Hannah Arendt shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future.
Free to HAC members and to Bard students, staff, and faculty! Email [email protected] for the Zoom link.

Online Event REMINDER: THE VIRTUAL READING GROUP IS ON WINTER BREAK, DECEMBER 20 - JANUARY 24
After the break, we will finish discussing Hannah Arendt's Between Past and Future, which describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, Hannah Arendt shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future.
Free to HAC members and to Bard students, staff, and faculty! Email [email protected] for the Zoom link.
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. Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.
