Lecture | Before and Beyond the Iron Curtain: Finland’s Unique Position through the Cold War


Finland, a NATO member from Western Europe, was close to the Soviet Union throughout the years of communism. It provided an observation point for each superpower on the other side, and remains a valuable archive of historical perspectives on how the Cold War was fought. Finland assumed a leading role in questions of international media, and in deliberating on the New International Information Order that emerged in the 1970s, that challenged western domination in international media flows. Speaker Hannu Nieminen is Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Professor of Media and Communications Policy at University of Helsinki, Finland.

Intimately connected to the socialist revolution in the north and the struggle for liberation in the south, the Nhan Van Giai Pham affair also held international connections to parallel movements in the rest of the communist world following Stalin’s death.

Lecture | The History of Housing Works


Most New Yorkers know Housing Works as merely a bookshop or as a collection of higher-end thrift shops. Its story is much bigger: since its emergence out of ACT UP in 1990, this tirelessly radical organisation has built over 200 units of permanent and transitional housing for homeless individuals living with HIV/ AIDS in New York City. It has also provided vital medical, dental, and mental health care, job training, legal aid, and other supportive services to over 20,000 clients. Along the way, it has confronted NIMBYism in SoHo, Harlem, and the Lower East Side; sued the Giuliani Administration (and won); built residential and medical facilities; and - crucially - never stopped speaking out. In this presentation, Gavin Browning will lead a tour through and share the creative process that went into assembling Housing Works History, a multimedia timeline of the housing and supportive services built by Housing Works. It features archival media, tee-shirts, posters, architectural drawings, HIV and AIDS infection-rate data, key moments in US housing policy, beautiful graphic design, and five original films spotlighting advocates, architects and residents.

Tour | Rockefeller Center Tour

Discussion | How NYC Women Got the Suffrage


One hundred years ago — nearly to the day — New York became the first U.S. state to grant women the right to vote. Two years later, after decades of struggle, it became the law of the land. Why did earlier campaigns fail? What role did NYC play in realizing this old dream? And what happened after? Lauren Santangelo, author of a forthcoming book on the movement in Gotham, discusses how activists built a successful coalition between 1870 and 1917. Susan Goodier, author with Karen Pastorella of the new book, Women Will Vote, highlights the involvement of neglected groups, such as black women, in gaining the vote, and the importance of New York to securing national legislation. Elisabeth Israels Perry takes us beyond the struggle to its impact, sharing insights from her forthcoming work Women, Politics, and Power in La Guardia's New York. The conversation concludes with a preview of Dawn Scibilia’s documentary in progress, on the decades between feminism's first and second “wave,” in which New York again played a special role.

Author Reading | Scott Stabile discusses his book Big Love


What happens when you fully commit yourself to love? Endless good, insists author Scott Stabile, who found that out by overcoming plenty of bad. In this inspiring evening, he’ll explain how he was able to bring himself back to a place of peace despite these immense challenges, while encouraging each of us to be “lovespreaders” in our own lives. “We can all be love-spreaders . . . if we choose to be,” says Scott. "You don’t even need to quit your day job. Every time we choose compassion over condemnation, we spread love. Every time we find the courage to forgive, we spread love. Life presents us with daily opportunities to share a little, or a whole lotta, love.”
