Talk | Exploring Conflict Intelligence Through the Lens of a Poem (online)


Each week from Feb 4 to Mar. 11, a different poem will be explored by the Irish poet and conflict mediator Pádraig Ó Tuama. His project during this time is exploring dynamics of conflict and sustainability through the lens of poetry. Poetry is a communicative technology that has emerged from every culture on earth. For as long as there’s been literature, individuals have turned to poetry for the purpose of communicating what mere sentences cannot communicate. At poetry’s heart can be ambivalence, rage, lament, resistance, regression, the murky world of dreams, and anxiety. In this way, poetry is primed to provide interest into the human animal’s behavior during times of conflict.

Discussion | Surfacing the War on Terror Today (online)


Two decades after the United States launched its “War on Terror,” this global campaign of surveillance and violence continues to disproportionately target certain ethno-religious groups domestically and abroad, through instruments operating outside the channels of government accountability, all in the name of domestic security. Charting the evolution of this largely invisible war and the central role that drones have played in enabling its international reach, this panel will lay out the state of counterterrorism policy today under the presidency of Joe Biden and look towards upcoming legal challenges in the US and in Europe, an oft-overlooked player in the realm of drone warfare. Featuring: Spencer Ackerman, journalist and author; Chantal Meloni, International Crimes and Accountability, European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights; Hina Shamsi, Director, ACLU National Security Project; Moderated by Madiha Tahir, journalist and filmmaker.

Performance | Kevin James Doyle V. The City of New York: Comedy (in-person and online)


Comedian and storyteller Kevin James Doyle's first show The 30 Year Old Virgin was called "A slick wry comedy special filled with tragicomic intricacies" by The Guardian. His follow up show Loud Blond Bald Kid won Best Solo Comedy at the Frigid Festival. In his newest hour of comedy he is navigating the unforgiving streets of New York City. It is hard enough before you add in the careless landlords, stolen property, scam artists and the ever present empty bank account. Doyle weaves together a funny tale of his unique experience living in New York that is not far off from what every New Yorker has gone through. Full vaccination, valid ID and masks required.
