Lecture | The Soviet Red Cross in the International Red Cross Movement during the Cold War (in-person and online)


Severyan Dyakonov will present his ongoing research project, focusing on the Soviet Red Cross’s engagement ... more >> within the International Red Cross movement from the 1950s to the 1980s.

By the 1960s, a majority of Soviet doctors were women. When working abroad, the Soviet female doctors impersonated the achievements of Socialist Modernity. This project is based on archival data from the International Federation of the Red Cross archives in Geneva. Severyan Dyakonov is a specialist on Soviet foreign policy during the Cold War (PhD, the Geneva Graduate Institute, 2022). Swiss National Fund Postdoctoral Mobility Fellow, Visiting Scholar.

Book Discussion | Ñai’ũpo Rape: A Dialogue of Ancestral Ethnoknowledge


Celeste Escobar introduces her 2023 book. This material constitutes a compendium of oral testimonies ... more >> of the makers of ñai’ũpo (ceramic’s making) from three communities: Peguahó of Yaguarón in the department of Paraguarí, Caaguazú de Itá of the Central department and the San Rafael neighborhood of 21 de Julio de Tobatí of the Cordillera department of Paraguay. Following Sturtevant (1964) definition of the term ethno as a system of knowledge specific to a given culture and, in this case, a cultural context of the ancestral art craftmanship of ñai’ũpo (ceramics making) in Guaraní language (Tupí-Guaraní), the various cultural contexts can be considered different ethnos, in this case focused on specific groups dedicated to the trade (Ramalho 2011; 2012) mentioned in a set of ethno-knowledges. The ethno-knowledge accumulated over time is deeply impregnated and transmitted in the culture of native speakers and even more so if they have been socialized in the language in question since early childhood (Escobar 2021a).

Staged Reading | Nasty, Brutish, and Short: Whose Story Is It?


A white man writes a play about a Black family, submits it to a contest, it wins, and is now headed to ... more >> Broadway. The problem is the contest was only for African Americans. So the white playwright invites a Black playwright over to ask him to take credit for it in order to see the production through. Who's story is it? Who has a right to tell it? Where does talent come from? Can empathy and a desire to do right transcend the racial biases that divide us? These are just some of the questions asked as the two playwrights confront who they are, what has shaped them, what they stand for, and what it means to do the right thing. Written by Ian McRae.

Talk | The Fabric of America Through the Art of Arthur Szyk (online)


Arthur Szyk loved three countries: Poland, the land of his birth; Israel, the land of his people; and ... more >> America, the land of his ideals. Upon his immigration to the U.S. in 1940, he announced: “At last, I have found the home I have always searched for. Here I can speak of what my soul feels. There is no other place on earth that gives one the freedom, liberty, and justice that America does.” Despite his recognition by the press and military establishment as a citizen-soldier of the free world, Szyk was named as a subversive by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1949. His response: he illuminated the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and Four Freedoms Prayer. In this lecture, you will see a multi-sided America through the eyes of Arthur Szyk.
