Author Reading | Ganges Water Machine: Designing New India’s Ancient River
Beyond the urban density of Mumbai and the IT centers of Bangalore and Hyderabad lies the Ganges River basin, the world’s most densely populated river basin. Not only is it densely populated, agriculturally productive, and monsoonal, but also one of the most hyper-engineered landscapes on the planet. Presenting original research from his award-winning book, Ganges Water Machine, Anthony Acciavatti will present how and why this basin became a laboratory for testing out and building a new culture around water management. In particular, he will share why he spent a decade walking and boating across the Ganges and combing through dusty archives to write the first environmental history of the basin in half a century, but also why it led him to develop new ways of mapping and visualizing environmental change.

Lecture | Re-Embracing the Lachrymose Theory of Jewish History
In his multi-volume social and religious history of the Jews, Salo Baron, one of the most influential Jewish historians of the 20th century, decried how Jewish history had been told and retold as an endless tale of woe. Instead, Baron stressed that, in the diaspora, Jews did not necessarily suffer more than other members of the societies in which they resided, and often lived creatively within Christian and Islamic lands. This evening Benjamin Gampel will explain how Baron’s claims about the Jews grew out of the social and religious landscape of the early twentieth century Europe. Gampel will argue, based on his understanding of medieval Jewish history, that a newer understanding of the lachrymose history of the Jews could well be seen as an appropriate way to appreciate the saga of this minority people and be of importance, as well, to the social and religious challenges facing contemporary Jewry.

Book Club | Ian McEwan's On Chesil Beach
Chesil Beach, where Edward and Florence spend the first (and last) night of their marriage, is on the English Channel.

Locals claim they can identify where a pebble was found by its size. Ian McEwan is an English novelist and screenwriter. In 2008, The Times featured him on their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945" and The Daily Telegraph ranked him number 19 in their list of the "100 most powerful people in British culture".

Puppetry has undergone a renaissance in the last twenty years, breaking out of its constricted association with children’s entertainment, and appearing everywhere from avant-garde venues to Broadway houses. It interconnects in new ways with disciplines like dance, film, and robotics. Terms like “performing objects” and “material performance” have emerged to encompass this expanding art. How do scholars and performers understand the new realm of puppetry today? How do we read objects in performance onstage? Speaker Claudia Orenstein is Professor of Theatre at Hunter College.
