Lecture | The War and Ukraine’s Nadazov Greeks (in-person and online)


One of the most underreported human catastrophes of Russia’s full-scale  invasion of Ukraine is the ongoing cultural and existential erasure of the country’s Nadazov Greek population, which, prior to the war, constituted the third-largest ethnic group (after Ukrainians and Russians) in the bitterly contested Donetsk region. Most of these Greeks were concentrated in and around the city of Mariupol, which they founded after Catherine the Great had resettled them from their ancient homeland of Crimea in 1778. This imperial precedent—and the cultural prejudice used to justify its expedience—would persist. The Soviet policy of mass persecution of Greeks, which included deportations, executions, and bans on their language and culture, started with the NKVD’s so-called “Greek Operation” under Stalin in 1937 and continued for many years thereafter.  For today’s Nadazov Greeks, who come from a region of Ukraine that has been militarized since 2014 and much of which was effectively destroyed in some of the heaviest fighting of 2022, Russia’s war and occupation now pose a question of both cultural preservation and immediate survival. Speaker Tetiana (Tatiana) Liubchenko is an associate professor of Greek Linguistics at Kyiv National Linguistic University (Ukraine).

Book Discussion | Among the Braves: Hope, Struggle, and Exile in the Battle for Hong Kong and the Future of Global Democracy (in-person and online)


In 2019, the world was transfixed by the sight of normally tidy, peaceful Hong Kong wracked by months of massive protests. Youths dressed in black and wearing masks for protection against tear gas hurled paving stones and sometimes Molotov cocktails at police, who fired off tear gas, rubber bullets, and even live ammunition. At stake was Hong Kong’s future, in which many youth had lost hope. Journalists Shibani Mahtani and Timothy McLaughlin will tell the story of the protests and immediate aftermath mainly through the eyes of four participants, drawing on their new book.

Book Discussion | The Heat Will Kill You First:  Life and Death on a Scorched Planet (online)


Author Jeff Goodell has closely and provocatively examined the wide-ranging impact of climate change for more than two decades.His book has been widely praised; The Washington Post noted that it “lives up to its alarming title” in “documenting the terrifying fragility of human bodies in a burning world.” And The New York Times called it a “propulsive book” that “documents the lethal effects of rising temperatures and argues that we need to take hot weather a lot more seriously.”

Lecture | Gender Policies Towards Muslim Women in Socialist Yugoslavia and Bulgaria (online)


Speaker Ivan Simic is the principal investigator on a large research project that explores communist gender policies towards Muslim minorities in Eastern Europe at Charles University in Prague. This project explores how gender policies towards Muslim women were utilised as a means to penetrate and control Muslim communities. It examines the communist governments’ methods for implementing policies that interfered with people’s cultural norms, as well as the long-term consequences. The project not only analyses the Yugoslav, Bulgarian and Soviet cases individually but also offers a comparison of these case studies. Yugoslavia and Bulgaria were heavily influenced by Soviet models, and the project looks at how these ideas were adapted in each country. For example, it examines similarities and differences in the communists’ views on Muslim women’s agency, dress and body, and explores how such views informed the policymaking in different periods and political surroundings. Besides the analysis of the policies and their implementation, this project also explores the strategies that Muslim women used to resist these measures and the consequences for them and their families.

Film | Bang Bang (1971): Experimental Brazilian Film


The actor of a film being made lives without distinction his own personal reality and his character's fiction. As the involuntary object of chance and circumstance, he looks for a meaning and way out, while being pursued by outlaws, a magician, a romantic fantasy, a drunk and his own self-image. The humour, the reason of the persecution, situations, personages, set decoration, dialogs and soundtrack (which uses themes from other films) lead us to symbols, metaphors and the refusal of a possible logical narrative, in a way to allow the viewer to experiment a sensation analogous to the one of the main character, inducing in him the need of thinking a meaning while lost and led by the sustained expectation, and by the intentionally recurrent anti-climax. Director: Andrea Tonacci Stars: Paulo César Peréio, Abrahão Farc, Jura Otero 85 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles

Notably, the group performs original Afghan works enriched with their original improvisations, and perform on traditional Afghan and western classical instruments.
