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.

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].

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.

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.

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. Sponsored by: Center for Civic Engagement.

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.Sponsored by: French Studies, Human Rights, CMIA, GSS, Literature, and the Division of Languages & Literature.

Screening: Edhi Alice + Conversation with PINKS

Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Korea’s groundbreaking queer feminist filmmaking collective comes to Bard. Join director Kim Ilrhan and film protagonist Edhi for an evening on activism, human rights, and 20 years of collaborative cinema.

“Transgender is Cinematic”

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.

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.

Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.

Thursday, April 16, 2026
6 pm

Stevenson Library
On Thursday, April 16th, at 6pm in the Stevenson Library, poets Kevin Young and Evie Shockley will come together for a reading and conversation on writing and poetry in times of crisis. This event will launch the Black Poetry Day Collection in the Stevenson Library. All are welcome to attend.

Poet and literary scholar Evie Shockley thinks, creates and writes with her eye on a Black feminist horizon. Her books of poetry include suddenly we, semiautomatic and the new black. Her work has twice garnered the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, been named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and appeared internationally. Her honors include the Poetry Society of America’s Shelley Memorial Award, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry, the Holmes National Poetry Prize and the Stephen Henderson Award. Her joys include participating in poetry communities such as Cave Canem and collaborating with like-minded artists working in various media. Shockley is the Zora Neale Hurston Distinguished Professor of English at Rutgers University.

Kevin Young is an American poet and the former director of the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African American History and Culture. Author of 11 books and editor of eight others, Young previously served as Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. A winner of a Guggenheim Fellowship as well as a finalist for the National Book Award for his 2003 collection Jelly Roll: A Blues, Young was Atticus Haygood Professor of English and Creative Writing at Emory University and curator of Emory's Raymond Danowski Poetry Library. In March 2017, Young was named poetry editor of The New Yorker.

The Black Poetry Day Collection was donated to Bard in 2023 by retired Director of the Plattsburgh Public Library Stanley Ransom and his wife, Christina Palhof Ransom (Bard alum ‘73). The collection includes autographed copies of books by each of the poets honored at Black Poetry Day at SUNY Plattsburgh from 1970 to the present.Sponsored by: Center for Ethics and Writing, Written Arts Program, Stevenson Library, Ellison Center, and Office of the Dean of Inclusive Excellence.

Rome's Jewish Queen: the Story of Berenice

Bruce Chilton, Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Philosophy and Religion; Director, Institute of Advanced Theology

Monday, April 20, 2026
12:30–1:30 pm

Bard Hall
Berenice (born circa 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor‑to‑be, guaranteed Berenice’s celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great‑granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family’s unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II’s advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish‑Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor.

A Reading by French Poet Marie de Quatrebarbes

Followed by a Conversation with her Translator, Aiden Farrell

Tuesday, April 21, 2026
5:30 pm

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
Marie de Quatrebarbes will be reading from her book The Vitals (Les Vivres, P.O.L., 2021), recently translated by Aiden Farrell and published by World Poetry, 2025. The Vitals, her debut in English translation, is an elegiac long poem in the form of a fragmentary journal that tracks the loss of a loved one.

Revisiting “On Violence”: Political Power and Non-violent Struggle

Spring 2026 Hannah Arendt Center Conference and De Gruyter-Arendt Center Lecture in Political Thinking

Friday, April 24, 2026
9 am – 3:30 pm

Various Campus Locations
Hannah Arendt's essay “On Violence” concisely articulates her theory of power: “Power corresponds to the human ability not just to act but to act in concert. Power is never the property of an individual; it belongs to a group and remains in existence only so long as the group keeps together.” Exercising power is open-ended, which is why Arendt thinks it differs from exercising violence, which always serves as the means to a particular end. Arendt cautioned against confusing power and violence, though she acknowledged the difficulty of distinguishing one from the other: “Power and violence, though they are distinct phenomena, usually appear together.” 

Arendt’s essay, published in 1970, offers more than just a set of abstract reflections on timeless concepts. “On Violence” was occasioned by key issues of the day, from the various student movements transforming the university to the Black Power movement and the fight for self-determination by colonized peoples—all alongside her enduring concerns regarding totalitarianism and modern world alienation. These questions have taken on a new salience in the wake of recent conflicts over the place of the university in struggles for justice and over the use of violence in anti-colonial politics. 

This conference invites scholars to return to this classic and controversial essay 55 years after its publication to read it carefully and critically. We do so to better understand the place of Arendt’s work in the broad political and theoretical terrain into which she herself attempted to situate it, as well as to understand the relevance of Arendt’s reflections for the present moment. To what degree do Arendt’s categories illuminate—and to what degree do they obscure—the challenges faced by 20th-century and contemporary political actors? Is Arendt’s distinction between violence and power still useful, or are there other, more pertinent concepts and frameworks for understanding our shared world? How might we assess Arendt’s judgment of anti-colonial and Black Power movements? Are there thinkers and movements relevant to Arendt’s discussion that she did not consider, but which enhance our understanding of her work? 

The conference will be structured as a text seminar.

• Three scholars—Dr. Joy James (Williams), Dr. Alexander Livingston (Cornell), and Dr. Rose Owen (SUNY Purchase) have been invited to propose text or set of texts on violence and power to put in conversation with Arendt’s essay. Each scholar will lead one session of the seminar over the course of the conference.

The conference will also feature the fourth annual De Gruyter-Arendt Center Lecture, which will be delivered on April 23rd by Professor Uday Singh Mehta (CUNY Graduate Center) on Militant Non-violence. Learn more about the De Gruyter-Arendt Center Lecture in Political Thinking here.

We invite all those interested in participating in the seminar to please fill out this application form.

Workshop on Dialogue and Deliberation: Advocating For Democracy

Friday, April 24, 2026
2–5 pm

Arendt Center
The Hannah Arendt Center is offering a workshop that is both experiential and intellectual on dialogue and deliberation--with the purpose of advocating for democracy.

Public dialogue and new processes of deliberation such as citizen assemblies, exemplify Hannah Arendt's concept of the political, where everyone is seen and heard. Good will, one’s own and others’, is the basis for deciding whether or not to participate. In dialogue the purpose is communication itself, in deliberation, the group must come together to make judgments. Having a plurality of views for all to “go visiting” as Arendt calls it, allows us to put ourselves in another’s place. The more views we encounter, the better equipped we are to make judgments.
Concerns about the state of US democracy abound. But clarity about what it is and how to advocate to strengthen it, is rare. The practice of democracy, also rare, requires us to speak in the public realm--an act of courage. Public dialogue and deliberation are practices of democracy that build plurality.

The Keith Haring Lecture in Art and Activism: Carlos Motta

Monday, April 27, 2026
5–7 pm

CCS Bard, Classroom 102
Keeping Time: Performance and Endurance Amid Political Erasure
The current political moment demands that we confront systems designed to silence dissent, control narratives, and restrict what can be explored and discussed in our work. In Keeping Time: Performance and Endurance Amid Political Erasure, Carlos Motta (the 2025-26 Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism) will show how embodied practices, durational works, and subtle performative gestures in his recent projects counteract the political and administrative erasure of marginalized communities by insisting on presence, continuity, and relational accountability.

The Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism is made possible through a grant from the Keith Haring Foundation. The Keith Haring Chair is a cross-disciplinary, annual, visiting faculty appointment for a scholar, activist, or artist to teach and conduct research at both the Center for Curatorial Studies and the Human Rights Project at Bard College. The Keith Haring Chair in Art and Activism was established to allow a distinguished leader in the field to investigate the role of art as a catalyst for social change, linking the two programs and presenting original research in an annual lecture.
