Lecture | The Automation of Connective Labor: On Shame, Inequality and Artifical Intelligence


Some jobs have relationships at the core of their work, requiring an emotional connection between the workers and their charges; for example, teachers, therapists, ministers – each rely in their work on a relationship in service to a larger goal: children learning, patients healing, congregants inspired. “Connective labor” is the clinical, relational work between practitioner and recipient, using their emotional connection to produce a particular end in the latter. The profound impact of connective labor, documented in multiple fields, makes its scarcity, uneven distribution or unreliable performance a social problem. Speaker Allison Pugh is Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia.

Lecture | Mandatory Induction Guidelines: The Process and Etiquette for the Understanding, Transformation, and Manipulation of the Future


New York-based artist Daniel Arsham straddles the line between art, architecture and performance. Architecture is a prevalent subject throughout his work; environments with eroded walls and stairs going nowhere, landscapes where nature overrides structures, and a general sense of playfulness within existing architecture. Arsham makes architecture do things it is not supposed to do, mining everyday experience for opportunities to confuse and confound our expectations of space and form. Simple yet paradoxical gestures dominate his sculptural work: a façade that appears to billow in the wind, a figure wrapped up in the surface of a wall, a contemporary object cast in volcanic ash as if it was found on some future archeological site.

Staged Reading | King of the Jews: Holocaust Drama


Wherever the Germans went throughout Europe, they set up a governing council to control Jewish life in the ghettos. Leslie Epstein's King of the Jews tells the story of one such Judenrat, led by the notorious, morally ambiguous Doctor Trumpelman. The 12 members of Trumpelman's council revel in their newfound power until they are faced with the impossible task of handing over the names of 100 of their fellow Jews. Unable to choose and unable to disobey, the council members grapple with the unthinkable assignment of sentencing their own people to death.

Author Reading | Chelsia Rose Marcius discusses her book Wild Escape: The Prison Break from Dannemora and the Manhunt that Captured America


On June 6, 2015, inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility, New York State’s largest maximum security prison. The media was instantly obsessed with the story: aided by the prison seamstress, who’d smuggled hacksaw blades, chisels, and drill bits inside the facility via a vat of raw hamburger meat, two convicted murderers sliced their way through the brick and steel wall of their cells, meandered through a maze of tunnels, popped out of a manhole, and walked off into the night.

Author Reading | Hanif Abdurraqib discusses his book They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us


In an age of confusion, fear, and loss, Hanif Abdurraqib's is a voice that matters. Whether he's attending a Bruce Springsteen concert the day after visiting Michael Brown's grave, or discussing public displays of affection at a Carly Rae Jepsen show, he writes with a poignancy and magnetism that resonates profoundly. In essays that have been published by The New York Times, MTV, and Pitchfork, among others—along with original, previously unreleased essays—Abdurraqib uses music and culture as a lens through which to view our world, so that we might better understand ourselves, and in so doing proves himself a bellwether for our times.

Poetry Reading | Poets with Attitude


One night after a poetry reading, two poets sat on two bar stools after two glasses of vinho verde and wondered aloud, “What if poetry readings were never boring? What if instead of maybe one exciting / resonant / dynamic poet per reading, the entire line up was full of them? What if bland was banned once and for all?" Thus, PWA was born: a program of poets who read it like they wrote it, full of fire and heart and maybe also wine. Hosted by Morgan Parker and Tommy Pico, the evening features special guests Camonghne Felix, Shauna Barbosa, and Diana Marie Delgado.

When Jay Mendelsohn enrolls in the Odyssey seminar his son Daniel teaches at Bard College, the two men begin an emotional and intellectual adventure.
