Talk | Counter-Terrorism and Peacekeeping French Military Operations


With: Brigadier General Thierry Lion, Military Adviser, French Ministry of Defense General Directorate for International Relations and Strategy In the last decade jihadist terrorism has metamorphosed into an increasingly complex global phenomenon. While local and national insurrectional and civil wars have been all too common on the African continent in modern history, the radicalized Islamist/jihadist orientation of rebel groups operating across multiple international boundaries throughout the region has transformed the scope and depth of this stubborn, enduring security threat. Accordingly, an effective response depends, not only on the resources and resolve of individual nation states, but in their ability and willingness to coordinate their strategies bilaterally with aligned nations and multilaterally within the context of regional organizations as well as with actors across the global community committed to addressing the causes and neutralizing the symptoms of these on-going conflicts.

Playwright, actor and director Charles Ludlam (1943–1987) helped to galvanize the Ridiculous style of theater in New York City starting in the 1960s.

Author Reading | Federico Finchelstein discusses his book From Fascism to Populism in History


What is fascism and what is populism? What are their connections in history and theory, and how should we address their significant differences? What does it mean when pundits call Donald Trump a fascist, or label as populist politicians who span left and right such as Hugo Chávez, Juan Perón, Rodrigo Duterte, and Marine Le Pen? Federico Finchelstein, one of the leading scholars of fascist and populist ideologies, synthesizes their history in order to answer these questions and offer a thoughtful perspective on how we might apply the concepts today.

Tour | High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Lecture | Telling the Tale of Types: The History of Early Typesetting


The invention of printing with movable types took place in the mid-fifteenth century, and from the very beginning the challenge was not just producing multiples of texts, but to do so in an attractive and convincing manner. How did the early printers accomplish this so successfully, and in what ways did the process evolve? Letterpress remained a dominant printing process through much of the 1970s and is undergoing a renaissance today. In what ways did "modern" technology affect the manufacture of metal printing type, and will such types continue to be developed and produced? Speaker Raymond "Stan" Nelson is a practicing punchcutter, typefounder, and letterpress printer who had the great good fortune to work in the Graphic Arts Collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History from 1972 to 2003, and continues to serve there as a Museum Specialist Emeritus.

Lecture | Transparency in Postwar France: A Critical History of the Present


Transparency in Postwar France returns to a time and place when the concept of transparency was met with deep suspicion. It offers a panorama of postwar French thought where attempts to show the perils of transparency in politics, ethics, and knowledge led to major conceptual inventions, many of which we now take for granted. Between 1945 and 1985, academics, artists, revolutionaries, and state functionaries spoke of transparency in pejorative terms. Speaker Stefanos Geroulanos is a historian of science and intellectual historian, currently Associate Professor of History.

Discussion | How We Inherit: A Mental Health Discussion


Many neuropsychiactric disorders have a hereditary element. If you have a depressed parent, you're twice as likely to experience depression. With bipolar disorder, you're four times more at risk. How does one process the idea that mental illness might be written into one's DNA? In his National Book Award-nominated novel Imagine Me Gone, award-winning author Adam Haslett unflinchingly depicts one family's struggle with inter-generational chronic mental illness, depicting the impact despair and grief can have on those people closest to us. Haslett will be joined by neuroscientist Rebecca Brachman to discuss the science behind genetic predisposition, the implications of inheriting mental illness, and what it would mean if we could “vaccinate” against depression. A pioneer the field of preventative psychopharmacology, Brachman and her colleagues aim to create drugs which enhance psychological resilience against stress and prevent mental illness.
