Lecture | When Jews Became Citizens: A History of Emancipation, 1550-2000


This lecture will analyze how Jews became citizens in the modern world. It focuses on the political and ... more >> legal process of gaining and retaining, losing and recovering rights (Europe, America, Israel, North Africa, and the Middle East). Emancipation was not a one-time, linear event that commenced with the Enlightenment or French Revolution and culminated with the acquisition of rights in Central Europe (1867-1871) or Russia (1917). Rather, it began with the attainment of extensive privileges in corporate society and continues to the present day. Emancipation was inherently ambiguous, consisting of deflections and reversals, defeats and successes, triumphs and tragedies. It belongs to the general development of citizenship and especially the problematic inclusion of dissenting religions and national minorities. Emancipation is modern Jewish history’s principal and interminable event. The colossal events of the mid-twentieth century, the Holocaust and the State of Israel’s establishment, have overshadowed emancipation. They were, however, reactions to it. The restriction or abrogation of rights were the first step toward the murder of Europe’s Jews. The post-war restoration of citizenship included rights, property and reparations. Jewish nationalism presumed emancipation’s failure. The State of Israel has struggled from its foundation to institute equality among its heterogeneous citizens. Speaker David Sorkin is with Yale University.

Lecture | Black Girls and Their Nineteenth-Century Autograph Albums


Scholars such as Erica Armstrong Dunbar, Ellen Gruber Garvey, and Jasmine Nichole Cobb explore how nineteenth-century ... more >> scrapbooks and friendship albums circulated among free black women in the North to showcase their middle class status and close networks. However, little is known about how black girls participated in this sentimental practice. Nazera Wright of the University of Kentucky argues that histories of black girlhood are often “buried” in literary genres less likely to be studied. Recovering these histories involves using methodological practices that move beyond the bound book. To locate evidence of their lives, Wright explores the often uncatalogued signatures and inscriptions written in nineteenth-century black girls’ autograph albums to reveal the wide-ranging impact that early friendships, alliances and associations had on black girls’ intellectual and political development.

Performance | Antigone in Ferguson: Sophocles and Choral Music


Antigone in Ferguson was conceived in the wake of Michael Brown’s death in 2014, through a collaboration ... more >> between Theater of War Productions and community members from Ferguson, Missouri. Translated and directed by Bryan Doerries and composed by Phil Woodmore, the project fuses a dramatic reading by leading actors of excerpts from Sophocles’s Greek tragedy with live choral music performed by a choir of activists, police officers, youth, and concerned citizens from Ferguson and New York City. The performance is the catalyst for panel and audience-driven discussions on race and social justice, the core component of the event. This multifaceted production will offer a glimpse not only into the effects of the tragedy in Brown’s local community, but also the trauma of police violence and racial injustice in communities of color in New York and across the nation. Local stakeholders and community leaders will participate as panelists, assisting in opening up dialogues with audiences. These guided discussions, which aim to promote healing and bridge the growing divide between law enforcement and local communities, will focus on the impact of racialized violence against communities of color, and the legacies of the tragic deaths of Michael Brown, as well as Eric Garner, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Saheed Vassell, and numerous other victims. The presentation will feature a rotating roster of acclaimed actors, including Samira Wiley (The Handmaid’s Tale), who will reprise the role she portrayed in the premiere of Antigone in Ferguson presented on the stage of Michael Brown’s high school in Ferguson in 2016. Other cast members include: Paul Giamatti (Billions), Tamara Tunie (Law & Order: SVU), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck), Adepero Oduye (12 Years a Slave), Frankie Faison (The Wire) and Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order: Criminal Intent).
