Author Reading | Half-Earth Socialism: A Plan to Save the Future from Extinction, Climate Change and Pandemics (online)
In this thrilling and capacious book, Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass challenge the inertia of capitalism and the left alike and propose a radical plan to address climate disaster and guarantee the good life for all. Consumption in the Global North can’t continue unabated, and we must give up the idea that humans can fully control the Earth through technological “fixes” which only wreak further havoc.

Discussion | Book Roundtable on Interwar-Era Soviet Literary Internationalism (online)
Over the last two years, four book-length reconstructions of the pre-WWII Socialist Republic of Letters have come out, which have collectively shifted the emphasis away from the Republic’s more familiar centers of Paris, Berlin, and New York and towards its lesser-documented but vital (often “Eastern”) networks: Katerina Clark, Eurasia without Borders (Harvard UP, Dec. 2021) Edward Tyerman, The Internationalist Aesthetic: China and Early Soviet Culture (Columbia UP, Dec. 2021) Amelia Glaser, Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (Harvard UP, October 2020) and a volume edited by Amelia Glaser and Steven S. Lee, Comintern Aesthetics (Toronto UP, March 2020) In the process of introducing them, in this roundtable, their authors will also introduce us to a geopoetics and a radical aesthetics, which for a few decades posed a major challenge to the dominant modes of literary valuation, circulation, and worlding, but the memory of which has been erased since.

Lecture | The Portuguese Colonial Policy at the United Nations: An Analysis of the Arguments (online)
While most of the European colonial powers somehow managed after World War II to decolonize, Portugal, under the dictatorship of the Estado Novo (New State) regime, remained committed to preserve its colonial rule, namely in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea, Cabo Verde, and Sao Tome e Principe. After the country’s admission as United Nations (UN) member state in 1955 the relations between the organization and Portugal were characterized by mutual disagreement, born from Portuguese reluctance before 1974 to acknowledge the international oversight of its colonial policy. Involved in a multi-dimensional and complex struggle against the liberation movements, Portugal fought to preserve the colonies through both military operations and an active diplomatic engagement. Portugal mobilized at the UN different arguments based on its colonial ideology, often using political, historical, moral, and legal language. Scholarly writing on the struggle for the independence of Portuguese colonies has neglected how Portugal articulated its colonial policy at the UN. Since there is still room for research, my presentation will address the arguments used by Portugal at the UN to undermine the calls to implement the right for self-determination. Speaker Aurora Almada e Santos is a researcher at the Contemporary History Institute of the New University of Lisbon and a Fulbright post-doctoral researcher at Tulane University.

Moderated by Elise Giuliano. Mariam Antadze will discuss the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and its mental health and psychosocial implications on communities. Focusing on how war affects mental health and psychosocial development facilitates a better understanding of trauma experienced by people who are directly or indirectly affected. Among the topics Antadze will discuss: Russia's post-Soviet invasions chronologically; what we have learned from Russia's war in Georgia; understanding how sociopolitical and psychological factors interact in war trauma; psycho- and mental health needs that arise from war; and justice as a healing factor.

Discussion | Facades: Construction History in New York and Chicago (online)
This discussion focuses on facades. Steel frames freed exterior walls from structural duties, allowing architects new freedom to develop facades that could respond to changing functional and aesthetic criteria. Developers' desire for efficiency and natural daylight led to thinner, lighter walls – "veneers" in the dismissive language of early critics and "curtain walls" in the parlance of more enthusiastic designers. Electric lighting, building materials, and environmental controls all played roles in changing skyscraper skins in both New York and Chicago. However, each city’s proximity to varying sources of stone, glass, and terra cotta – coupled with differing approaches to fire codes and the politics of local labor unions – created subtly different approaches to skyscraper facades. Talks by Tom Leslie and Don Friedman will discuss the aesthetic and technical treatment of the curtain wall as it develops differently in New York and Chicago. Joanna Merwood-Salisbury will unpack the theory and history of the First Chicago School.

Talk | "What Makes it Italian?": The Music and Architecture of Italy (online)
"What Makes It Italian?" is a music listening and discussion group that meets online and is open to everyone. The group is led by Gina Crusco. She takes a look at stylistic parallels between the most ephemeral of the arts - music, which dissipates moment by moment - and the near-permanent - architecture, constructed to last many lifetimes. Italy is the birthplace of Renaissance architecture and the homeland of Palladianism, a style which influenced design all over the world. The history of Western architecture has been shaped by such edifices as the Duomo of Milan, the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, and the Villa Capra in Vicenza. Nowadays, Italy is in the forefront of modernist architecture, with two Pritzker Architecture Prizes having gone to Italians. Who were the composers who produced music in the regions and during the eras when these great buildings were erected? Does their music reflect then-current architecture trends? The likes of Alessandro Scarlatti, Giuseppe Verdi, and today's young Giovanni Allevi tell the story.

Book Club | The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste (online)

What follows is a heartrending and unputdownable exploration of what it means to be a woman at war. Read along and join us virtually for a discussion of this remarkable saga and the project of excavating history for untold stories.

Staged Reading | Cercle Hermaphroditos: Trans in 1895
In Shualee Cook's play set in 1895 New York, trans man Ambrose Carlton has a plan to beat the restrictive system around him and live as himself as much as possible - to find a bride at Roland "Laureline" Reeves' infamous Cercle Hermaphroditos, a social club for "androgynes" (aka: trans women). Ambrose hopes to find a lady at the club he can legally marry, then live the life expected of them in public while pursuing the life they want in private. But finding the proper match becomes more difficult than he expected, especially after the club is raided by police and the fragile safe place Laureline has created threatens to break apart for good.

A suite of performances and readings by choreographer Jonathan Gonzalez, poet Ica Sadagat and performance (con) artist troizel xx. Thinking alongside the provocations offered by Beneath Tongues exhibition curator Sable Elyse Smith -- that language, sound, and noisemaking can establish new realities within an antagonistic present -- of language desirous is an invitation to consider the psychic, spiritual, and somatic constellations that languages create, challenge, and reorder. This collective of interlocutors also takes as points of departure the written, movement-based, and sonic landscapes of artists including Kazim Ali, Don Mee Choi, Forough Farrokhzad, Aretha Franklin, Petero Kalule, Toni Morrison, and Okwui Okpokwasili.
