Lecture | A Meeting of the Petty Gods: Elizabethan Entertainments and The Winter's Tale


Shakespeare's The Winter’s Tale looks forward and backward, continually exploring how the past both nurtures and shadows the present. In its famous sheep-shearing festival scene, the play confronts aesthetic, cultural, and political shadows of its own past by conjuring the specter of Queen Elizabeth’s pastoral entertainments. In its festival act, its invokes the dead Queen in order to both celebrate the enduring symbolic identity created by the Elizabethan entertainments, and lament the loss of her physical presence, and with it a unique means of dramatic creation. Speaker Claire Falck is an Assistant Professor of English at Rowan University.

Lecture | Capitalism and Cloves: Islamic Plantations on Nineteenth-Century Zanzibar


Plantation landscapes have been understood by historical archaeologists to be fundamentally part of the expansion of global capitalism. This talk explores this taken-for-granted assumption through the study of Islamic plantations on nineteenth-century Zanzibar. Through a combination of archaeological and historical data I explore how landscapes were understood by Omani settler colonists on the island during the 1800s, in the process questioning the manner in which capitalism and European culture are generally assumed to be synonymous. Speaker: Sarah K. Croucher, PhD, Wesleyan University.

Park Walk | The High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Slide Lecture | Elizabeth Bradley discusses her book The American Health Care Paradox: Why Spending More is Getting Us Less


This illustrated lecture questions why it is that, compared to all other industrialized countries, Americans spend more and receive less from our healthcare system. The authors argue that the reason is that we spend a significant amount less on social services like food, housing, and education, which have a large impact on health. When spending on social services and health is taken together, they say, the U.S. does not outspend other countries.

Author Reading | Libby Garland discusses her book After They Closed the Gates


Despite quotas set in the 1920s meant to sharply reduce the influx of immigrants into the country, immigrants continued to come. Historian Libby Garland tells the untold stories of the Jewish migrants and smugglers involved in that underworld. Garland also helps us understand how Jews were linked to, and then unlinked from, the specter of illegal immigration. Tenement actors will dramatize some of the cases highlighted in the book.
