Discussion | Accountable Authoritarianism? A Discussion on Democracy and Political Change in East Africa


What are the prospects for electoral change and democracy in East Africa? Why does the electoral process lead to political violence in the region? Can the newly enacted constitution in Kenya serve as a model for political change? This roundtable discussion endeavors to address these questions in the context of the region's complex history and implementation of liberal reforms, which have resulted in greater participation by women in government and high economic growth rates despite a history of political violence, a tendency toward authoritarian rule, and the pressing need to ensure security. Panelists include Dr. Robert H. Bates, Eaton Professor of Government at Harvard University, and Dr. Jacqueline M. Klopp, assistant professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. The panel will be chaired by Dr. Ron Kassimir, associate professor of Political Science and former director of the Africa Program at the Social Science Research Council.

Book Discussion | Book Club: E.L. Doctorow's The March


In 1864, after Union general William Tecumseh Sherman burned Atlanta, he marched his sixty thousand troops east through Georgia to the sea, and then up into the Carolinas. The army fought off Confederate forces and lived off the land, pillaging the Southern plantations, taking cattle and crops for their own, demolishing cities, and accumulating a borne-along population of freed blacks and white refugees until all that remained was the dangerous transient life of the uprooted, the dispossessed, and the triumphant. Only a master novelist could so powerfully and compassionately render the lives of those who marched. Please come prepared!

At the center is Noris and her family, a mother and community leader displaced since 1996 living in Villa Espana, a refugee shelter near Quibdo, a growing city on Colombia's Pacific Coast. Since the late 1980s, the Colombian Pacific has become a new frontier for development and as Colombia's civil war escalates, violence and mass displacement are rampant as struggles for land and resources intensify.

Discussion | Quotidian Product: Paris-New York


This panel discussion will bring together four significant mid career product design studios, two based in Paris and two based in New York City.

Paris and New York share histories of liberty, luxury, poverty, immigration, and national identity. Through the lens of their respective metropolis, the panelists will explore cultural difference and likeness through a series of questions on themes including the modernist promise, the disappearing middle class, future thinking and daily practice. Panelists include: Jean-François Dingjian + Eloi Chafaï (Normal Studio); Francois Azambourg (François Azambourg Works); Sigi Moeslinger + Masamichi Udagawa (Antenna Design); Jeff Miller (Jeff Miller Design).

The audience will thus be able to experience the act of translation firsthand, comparing the choices made by either translator in the “alchemical” transformation of a text from one language into another. Marko Miletich (Hunter College) will act as moderator. Refreshments will be served.
