Expert Forum - Police Accountability: Charter 2019 NYC
Thursday, Mar. 7, 6:00 to 9:30 PM in NY City Hall
https://facebook.com/events/618796895236101/
Public · Hosted by Charter 2019 NYC

This forum will include experts discussing topics related to Police Accountability.

The NYC Charter is the city's constitution, creating the framework for our city government. The Charter controls how the City spends our tax dollars, how decisions are made about changes to our neighborhoods and the powers of our elected officials. Nearly 30 years ago, a Charter Revision Commission overhauled the city's government. We've been taking a fresh look.

Find out more about the NYC Charter Revision Commission 2019 by visiting us at our website: www.charter2019.nyc.

Join NYC for Abortion Rights and the ISO to defend access to abortion care! It's the start of 40 Days for Life, and the congregation at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral [SOHO] is gathering anti-abortion activists to march to Planned Parenthood on Bleecker Street. They are going there to harass and intimidate women, non-binary, and trans folks to prevent them from seeking healthcare. As we’ve done for the last two years, we will be there every step of the way to protect the right of women and all pregnant people to control their bodies.

40 Days for Life is an internationally coordinated mobilization by anti-abortion activists, and with the extra attention New York has received from the passage of the Reproductive Health Act, we know that these bigots will be out in full force. So we need all the help that we can get! Their movement is a breeding ground for right-wing extremism and violence, and it's time that we confront it directly.

We’ve already received support and love from the community (a local neighbor even joined our counter-protest last time!), and we are excited to keep building. The RHA was a watershed moment for New York, but it won’t stop the right from harassing patients; it's up to us to defend everyone's access to healthcare. Please join us on
Saturday, March 2, at 263 Mott Street at 8:15 am.

It was two years ago on February 21, 2017, that Courage the Bull escaped Aziz Slaughterhouse in Jamaica, Queens. After Courage was chased for more than an hour through the streets of Jamaica by police and slaughterhouse workers, he was killed from all the tranquilizer shots. He ran for his life, just like we all would.Please join us in honoring the life of Courage and the billions of other animals who remain unseen. In addition to holding a vigil and bearing witness to the animals who await their death at this hell hole, we will be protesting this place for their lack of compassion to these innocent animals.We start at 10:45am to coincide with the time of day Courage made his escape. The vigil will last until 12:30pm, symbolizing the almost 2 hours Courage spent running for his life. We will have a moment of silence at 12:30pm for him and all of the victims of the barbaric industry.This is a peaceful demonstration. Signs will be provided, and feel free to bring your own. Please share and invite trusted activists.

Veterans For Peace, allies and friends will again be marching this year; on the 20th anniversary of this fun neighborhood event.

The St. Pat's for All parade celebrates the diversity of the Irish and Irish American communities of New York.

Ours is the first in the 260 years + of Irish parades in New York City to be open and welcoming to all who wish to share in the spirit of the day. We err on the side of hospitality. Our theme "cherishing all the children of the nation equally" is taken from the 1916 Easter Proclamation of the Irish Republic. It is a vision drawn from our past and a guide for our present & future.

This will be our 20th annual St Pats For All celebration. On March 3 we will gather once again in Sunnyside and Woodside to celebrate our Irish culture and heritage. Whether in exile, fleeing famine, or pursuing dreams and hopes for liberty, equality and happiness, the Irish through the centuries have scattered across the globe always enhancing the communities they join.

The parade welcomes all to celebrate Irish heritage and culture regardless of race, gender, creed or sexual orientation.

Whether Irish by birth, heritage or simply affection.... everyone welcome!

Join the Green Party of Brooklyn for a community forum and discussion.

The New York City Council Charter Revision Commission is exploring the use of RCV. Public hearings begin in early spring.

The Green Party is prepared to help New Yorkers learn more about RCV and to advocate for its use in all New York City elections.

RCV is a fair representation voting system where voters maximize the effectiveness of their vote by ranking candidates in single- and multi-seat districts. RCV gives like-minded voters the chance to win legislative seats in proportion to their share of the population, unlike this country’s current system of winner-take-all elections, which awards 100% of power to a 50.1% majority of voters. Australia and Ireland as well as U.S. cities like Minneapolis and Cambridge use ranked choice voting to elect their governments. The State of Maine also recently elected to use RCV for all future elections.
 
Although RCV alone will increase voter choice, the Green Party believes that true democratization of elections also means breaking the two-party stranglehold through proportional representation (PR), which often works in conjunction with RCV.  PR is less likely to be addressed by the upcoming charter revision hearings. However, it is important to include it within the discussion. PR previously existed in NYC elections from 1938 to 1947. It was abolished largely from pressure by the Democrats who wanted to prevent any further City Council wins by Communists and Socialists.

Join authors and activists L.A. Kauffman (How to Read a Protest; Direct Action) and Onnesha Roychoudhuri (The Marginalized Majority) for the "Unpresidented" Party, celebrating the creation and release of their special edition of the Washington Post from the future.

Produced in collaboration with The Yes Men, the paper tells the story of how a women-led movement forced Trump from office on April 30, 2019 -- and comes bundled with "Bye-Bye 45," an action guide to making it happen.

Come toast to celebrate this near-future, and enjoy a spirited here's-how-we-make-it-happen conversation with Kauffman and Roychoudhuri, moderated by Sam Eifling (Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj), a contributing writer to the paper.

You'll also get to feast your ears on a powerful new national anthem, written and performed by the extremely talented Jean Rohe -- and, of course, pick up free copies of the "UnPresidented"  Washington Post.

--- | ---

Cocktails & Conspiracy is a new series at Starr Bar that facilitates face to face dialog about important events, movements, and strategies. We welcome panel discussions, film screenings, book talks, and any other type of event that dares to scheme and dream.  We'll also be serving up a special cocktail menu that will kick your taste buds into action!

Dying of Whiteness: The Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland

NYU’s Institute for Public Knowledge invites you to join for the launch of Jonathan Metzl’s new book Dying of Whiteness, forthcoming from Basic Books, featuring the author in conversation with Alondra Nelson.

With the rise of the Tea Party and the election of Donald Trump, many middle- and lower-income white Americans threw their support behind conservative politicians who pledged to make life great again for people like them. But as Dying of Whiteness shows, the right-wing policies that resulted from this white backlash put these voters’ very health at risk—and in the end, threaten everyone’s well-being.

Physician and sociologist Jonathan M. Metzl travels across America’s heartland seeking to better understand the politics of racial resentment and its impact on public health. Interviewing a range of Americans, he uncovers how racial anxieties led to the repeal of gun control laws in Missouri, stymied the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee, and fueled massive cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. Although such measures promised to restore greatness to white America, Metzl’s systematic analysis of health data dramatically reveals they did just the opposite: these policies made life sicker, harder, and shorter in the very populations they purported to aid. Thus, white gun suicides soared, life expectancies fell, and school dropout rates rose.

Powerful, searing, and sobering, Dying of Whiteness ultimately demonstrates just how much white America would benefit by emphasizing cooperation, rather than by chasing false promises of supremacy.

Jonathan Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry, and the Director of the Center for Medicine, Health, and Society, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He received his MD from the University of Missouri, MA in humanities/poetics and Psychiatric internship/residency from Stanford University, and PhD in American Culture from University of Michigan. A 2008 Guggenheim fellow, Professor Metzl has written extensively for medical, psychiatric, and popular publications. His books include The Protest Psychosis, Prozac on the Couch, and Against Health: How Health Became the New Morality.

Join us for the opening of the exhibition On the (Queer) Waterfront: The Factories, Freaks, Sailors & Sex Workers of Brooklyn, and the launch of Hugh Ryan's new book When Brooklyn Was Queer.

About the Exhibition: On the (Queer) Waterfront is the first exhibition ever to focus explicitly on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer history of Brooklyn. Since the 19th century, there has been a significant – if often overlooked – LGBTQ presence in the borough, much of it clustered along the waterfront, where industrial jobs, cheap housing, and urban anonymity life provided unique opportunities for queer people to explore their own desires and discover one another. By profiling the many queer individuals who have lived in or passed through Brooklyn in the last 150 years, On the (Queer) Waterfront shows both the changes and continuities in our ideas and experiences of sexuality in Brooklyn.

About The Book: Hugh Ryan’s When Brooklyn Was Queer is a groundbreaking exploration of the LGBT history of Brooklyn, from the early days of Walt Whitman in the 1850s up through the queer women who worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War II, and beyond. Ryan is here to unearth that history for the first time. In intimate, evocative, moving prose he discusses in new light the fundamental questions of what history is, who tells it, and how we can only make sense of ourselves through its retelling; and shows how the formation of the Brooklyn we know today is inextricably linked to the stories of the incredible people who created its diverse neighborhoods and cultures. Through them, When Brooklyn Was Queer brings Brooklyn’s queer past to life, and claims its place as a modern classic. When Brooklyn Was Queer goes on sale March 5, 2019.

The IDS Public Lecture Series   (https://artandeducation.net/announcements/243603/ids-public-lecture-series-spring-2019)

The talk explores some technologies of seeing — images, surveillance, film, categories, terror, representation — to think about the current frenzy of people circulating visuals as though the materials “speak for themselves." Topics include the Berlin Conference, Kodak’s innovations, imperial uses of anti-slavery, science, lynching, prison, postcards, and the scopic imperatives of colonialism, apartheid, and class war. I’ll end by tracing out contradictions that might provisionally ground decolonial practice to enliven consciousness through re-seeing experience.

Ruth Wilson Gilmore is Professor of Earth & Environmental Studies, and American Studies at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, where she is also Director of the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics. She writes about abolition, racial capitalism, organized violence, organized abandonment, changing state structure, criminalization, and labor and social movements. A second edition of her groundbreaking Golden Gulag will appear soon. Recent publications include “Beyond Bratton” (with Craig Gilmore, in Policing the Planet, Camp and Heatherton, eds.), and “Abolition Geography and the Problem of Innocence” (in Futures of Black Radicalism, Lubin and Johnson, eds.). She is a co-founder of many grassroots organizations including California Prison Moratorium Project; Critical Resistance; and the Central California Environmental Justice Network. Honors include the American Studies Association Angela Y. Davis Award for Public Scholarship (2012); the Association of American Geographers' Harold Rose Award for Anti-Racist Research and Practice (2014); the SUNY-Purchase College Eugene V. Grant Distinguished Scholar Prize for Social and Environmental Justice (2015-16); and the American Studies Association Richard A Yarborough Mentorship Award (2017).

 
This event is part of the Spring 2019 IDS Lecture Series at The Cooper Union, organized by Leslie Hewitt and Omar Berrada.

Our lectures are free and open to the public. The next lecture will be delivered on March 26th by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts.

WHAT: Political Prisoner Letter-Writing Dinner
WHEN: 7pm sharp, Tuesday, March 5 , 2019
WHERE: The Base – 1302 Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11221

NOTE: The Base is on the ground floor, is wheelchair accessible, and has
a gender neutral toilet.
COST: Free [ask correct ending time -t.]

Hey, is anyone worried that things in the world might be going TOO GOOD?
You know, like maybe humanity isn’t on the brink of simultaneous global
economic and ecological collapse? No? Just us? Okay, we’ll just brew
another pot of valerian root tea, tamp down the unwavering existential
dread, and get on with what we do–support political prisoners and
prisoners of war. This week NYC ABC is focusing our every-other-week
political prisoner letter-writing dinner on an anti-racist named Eric
Hancock, recently railroaded into a non-cooperating plea agreement after
defending himself from knife-wielding white supremacists. In 2018.
Where’d that valerian go, again?

In late April 2019, Eric Hancock accepted a sentence of one year
imprisonment on a single charge of unlawful wounding, a class 6 felony
in Virginia, in a non-cooperating plea agreement. The decision to accept
this plea came after a year awaiting trial. Initially charged with both
malicious wounding and aggravated malicious wounding, Eric faced a
mandatory 25 years in a state that does not offer parole.

The charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on January 19th,
2018, which began with a fascist-affiliated band—The Sentinels, playing
a show in downtown Richmond. This show eventually lead to a
confrontation in which several white supremacists pulled out knives.
Eric was stabbed outright and defended himself, which led to his being
charged with the injuries sustained by two of his attackers. Between
medical and legal expenses resulting form this attack, Eric is facing
not only imprisonment, but also debt.

Eric’s support team is working to cover a bevy of medical and legal
costs, and have set a goal of $15,000. Eric turned himself into custody
February 28th with the full support and appreciation of comrades in
Richmond and across Virginia. He has endured injury, injustice, and
self-sacrifice with integrity, and his friends, family and supporters
appreciate his commitment and bravery. For now, the best means of
donating to Eric’s support is via Venmo: @SupportEric

If for some unforeseeable reason you are unable to make it Tuesday,
please take the time to write to Eric on your own time:
Eric Hancock #161270
Richmond City Justice Center
1701 Fairfield Way
Richmond, Virginia 23223

The deal, as always, is that you come bringing only yourself (and your
friends and comrades), and we provide you with a delicious vegan meal,
information about the prisoners as well as all of the letter-writing
materials and prisoner-letter-writing info you could ever want to use in
one evening. In return, you write a thoughtful letter to a political
prisoner or prisoner of war of your choosing or, better yet, keep up a
long-term correspondence. We’ll also provide some brief updates and pass
around birthday cards for the PP/POWs whose birthdays fall in the next
two weeks thanks to the PP/POW Birthday Calendar.

Directions:

>From the M Train:
Central Avenue Stop: Walk east on Myrtle Avenue (away from Hart Street,

 . Nervous States: William Davies and Max Read
Tuesday, Mar.  5, 7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/nervous-states-william-davies-and-max-read-williamsburg)  (https://facebook.com/events/625507037895509/)     In this sweeping and provocative work, political economist William Davies draws on a four-hundred-year history of ideas to reframe our understanding of the contemporary world. He argues that global trends decades and even centuries in the making have reduced a world of logic and fact into one driven by emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. This has ushered in an age of “nervous states,” both in our individual bodies and our body politic. William Davies is a political economist at Goldsmiths, University of London. Max Read is a senior editor at New York magazine, where he edits Select All, a website covering the intersection of technology and culture.

 . The Life of Gabriel García Márquez: Silvana Paternostro with Alvaro Enrigue
Wednesday, Mar.  6, 7:00pm at 52 Prince St.
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/solitude-company-life-gabriel-garc%C3%ADa-m%C3%A1rquez-silvana-paternostro-alvaro-enrigue-prince-st)   (https://facebook.com/events/763111614060828/)
Irreverent and hopeful, Solitude & Company recounts the life of a boy from the provinces who decided to become a writer. This is the story of how little Gabito became Gabriel García Márquez, and how he survived his own self-creation. Silvana Paternostro was born in Colombia, and is the author of In the Land of God and Man. Álvaro Enrigue is the author of Sudden Death.
 
 . On the End of Privacy: Richard Miller with Jeffrey Longhofer
Thursday, Mar.  7,  7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/end-privacy-richard-miller-jeffrey-longhofer-williamsburg)   (https://facebook.com/events/615722578874282/)     On the End of Privacy explores how literacy is transformed by technology that lets us publish anything that we can see or hear. Miller examines the 2010 suicide of student Tyler Clementi, after he discovered that his roommate spied on him via webcam. Why did nobody intervene? This question leads Miller to online porn sites, the invention of Facebook, the court-martial of Chelsea Manning, the contents of Hillary Clinton’s email server, Anthony Weiner’s text messages, and more. Richard E. Miller is a professor in the English Department at Rutgers University. Jeffrey Longhofer is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Rutgers University.

 . Sleeping With Strangers: David Thomson and Lili Anolik
Monday, Mar.  11, 7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/sleeping-strangers-david-thomson-and-lili-anolik-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/2271885483084508/)  Film can make us want things we cannot have. But the interaction of onscreen beauty and private desire speaks to a crisis in American culture, one that pits delusions of male supremacy against feminist awakening and the spirit of gay resistance. Combining criticism, memoir, and his encyclopedic knowledge of film history, David Thomson examines how film has found the fault lines in traditional masculinity and helped to point the way past it toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person desiring others. David Thomson is the author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, Moments That Made the Movies, and the novel Suspects, peopled with characters from film. Lili Anolik is the author of Hollywood’s Eve.
 
 . The Wall: John Lanchester with Keith Gessen
Wednesday, Mar.  13,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/wall-john-lanchester-keith-gessen-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/362409084596756/)          Ravaged by the Change, an island nation in a time very like our own has built the Wall—an enormous concrete barrier around its entire border. Joseph Kavanagh, a new Defender, has one task: to protect his section of the Wall from the Others, the desperate souls who are trapped amid the rising seas outside and attack constantly. Beset by cold, loneliness, and fear, Kavanagh tries to fulfill his duties to his demanding Captain and Sergeant, even as he grows closer to his fellow Defenders. And then the Others attack. John Lanchester’s novels include Debt to Pleasure and Capital and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Keith Gessen is the author of A Terrible Country and All the Sad Young Literary Men, and an editor of n+1.

 . Mars: Asja Bakić with Jennifer Zoble
Thursday, Mar.  14,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/mars-asja-baki%C4%87-jennifer-zoble-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/397499890824020/)         Mars showcases a series of unique and twisted universes, where every character is tasked with making sense of their strange reality. One woman will be freed from purgatory once she writes the perfect book; another abides in a world devoid of physical contact. With wry prose and skewed humor, an emerging feminist writer explores twenty-first century promises of knowledge, freedom, and power. Asja Bakić is a Bosnian poet, writer, and translator. She writes the blog In the Realm of Melancholy (asjaba.com) and is coeditor of the feminist webzine Muff (muf.com.hr). Jennifer Zoble is a writer, editor, educator, and literary translator. She coedits InTranslation, the online journal of international literature that she cofounded in 2007.

 . Elliott Sharp and Evan Eisenberg
Saturday, Mar.  16,  3:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/mcnallyjacksonbooks/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg/2242421136075763/) (https://facebook.com/events/2242421136075763)   To celebrate the publication of Elliott Sharp’s IrRational Music and Evan Eisenberg’s The Trumpiad, both from Terra Nova Books, Sharp and Eisenberg will engage in a wide-ranging conversation about music and art, politics and culture. Sharp’s IrRational Music is a mix of memoir, cultural discussion, and music theory; and Eisenberg’s caustic, uproarious Trumpiad reinvents Swiftian satire for our demented times. Elliott Sharp is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who leads the projects Orchestra Carbon, SysOrk, Tectonics and Terraplane. Evan Eisenberg is the author of The Ecology of Eden.

. Justin Smith and Dora Malech
Tuesday, Mar. 19, 7:00pm at
76 North 4th St., Brooklyn (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/austin-smith-and-dora-malech-williamsburg)
Austin Smith’s Flyover Country is a powerful collection of poems about violence: the violence we do to the land, to animals, to refugees, to the people of distant countries, and to one another. Drawing on his childhood on a farm in Illinois, Smith explores the beauty and cruelty of rural life. Dora Malech’s Stet takes constraint as its catalyst and subject, exploring what it means to make or break a vow, to create art out of a life in flux, to reckon with the body’s bounds, and to arrive at a place where one might bear and care for another life.

 . RELATED EVENT in Jersey City on Saturday, March 9
https://facebook.com/wordjerseycity/posts/1129651513879932

In her late twenties, Amber Tamblyn experienced a crisis of character while trying to break out of the confines of the acting career she'd forged as a child in order to become the writer and director she dreamed of being as an adult. After a particularly low period fueled by rejection and disillusionment, she grabbed hold of her own destiny and entered into what she calls an Era of Ignition--namely, the time of self-reflection that follows in the wake of personal upheaval and leads to a call to action and positive change. In the process of undergoing this metaphysical metamorphosis, she realized that our country was going through an Era of Ignition of its own. She writes: "No longer stuck in a past we can't outrun and a future we must outgrow, we are a nation that is actively confronting our values and agitating for change. We are in an age when activism becomes direct action, when disagreement becomes dissention, when dissatisfaction becomes protest, when accusations become accountability, and when revolts become revolutions."

Through her fierce op-eds and tireless work as one of the founders of the Time's Up organization, Amber has emerged as a bold, outspoken, and respected advocate for women's rights. In Era of Ignition, she addresses gender inequality and the judgment paradigm, misogyny and discrimination, trauma and the veiled complexities of consent, white feminism and pay parity, reproductive rights and sexual assault--all told through the very personal lens of her own experiences, as well as those of her Sisters in Solidarity. At once an intimate meditation and public reckoning, Era of Ignition is a galvanizing feminist manifesto that is required reading for everyone attempting to understand the world we live in and help change it for the better.

Join us as Amber discusses her new book with Cecile Richards, introduced by a reading from Rebecca Carroll!

Amber Tamblyn is an author, actor, and director. She’s been nominated for an Emmy, Golden Globe, and Independent Spirit Award for her work in television and film, including House M.D. and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Most recently, she wrote and directed the feature film Paint It Black. She is the author of three books of poetry, including the critically acclaimed bestseller Dark Sparkler, and a novel, Any Man, as well as a contributing writer for the New York Times. She lives in New York. (Photo: Katie Jacobs)

As President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund for 12 years, Richards worked to increase affordable access to reproductive health care and to build a healthier and safer world for women and young people. After starting her career as a labor organizer, working with women earning the minimum wage, she went on to start her own grassroots organizations, and later served as Deputy Chief of Staff to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. In 2011 and 2012, she was named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. Richards is a frequent speaker and commentator on politics and progressive issues. She and her husband, Kirk Adams, have three children and live in New York City and Maine.

 . Nervous States: William Davies and Max Read
Tuesday, Mar.  5, 7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/nervous-states-william-davies-and-max-read-williamsburg)  (https://facebook.com/events/625507037895509/)     In this sweeping and provocative work, political economist William Davies draws on a four-hundred-year history of ideas to reframe our understanding of the contemporary world. He argues that global trends decades and even centuries in the making have reduced a world of logic and fact into one driven by emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. This has ushered in an age of “nervous states,” both in our individual bodies and our body politic. William Davies is a political economist at Goldsmiths, University of London. Max Read is a senior editor at New York magazine, where he edits Select All, a website covering the intersection of technology and culture.

 . The Life of Gabriel García Márquez: Silvana Paternostro with Alvaro Enrigue
Wednesday, Mar.  6, 7:00pm at 52 Prince St.
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/solitude-company-life-gabriel-garc%C3%ADa-m%C3%A1rquez-silvana-paternostro-alvaro-enrigue-prince-st)   (https://facebook.com/events/763111614060828/)
Irreverent and hopeful, Solitude & Company recounts the life of a boy from the provinces who decided to become a writer. This is the story of how little Gabito became Gabriel García Márquez, and how he survived his own self-creation. Silvana Paternostro was born in Colombia, and is the author of In the Land of God and Man. Álvaro Enrigue is the author of Sudden Death.
 
 . On the End of Privacy: Richard Miller with Jeffrey Longhofer
Thursday, Mar.  7,  7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/end-privacy-richard-miller-jeffrey-longhofer-williamsburg)   (https://facebook.com/events/615722578874282/)     On the End of Privacy explores how literacy is transformed by technology that lets us publish anything that we can see or hear. Miller examines the 2010 suicide of student Tyler Clementi, after he discovered that his roommate spied on him via webcam. Why did nobody intervene? This question leads Miller to online porn sites, the invention of Facebook, the court-martial of Chelsea Manning, the contents of Hillary Clinton’s email server, Anthony Weiner’s text messages, and more. Richard E. Miller is a professor in the English Department at Rutgers University. Jeffrey Longhofer is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Rutgers University.

 . Sleeping With Strangers: David Thomson and Lili Anolik
Monday, Mar.  11, 7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/sleeping-strangers-david-thomson-and-lili-anolik-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/2271885483084508/)  Film can make us want things we cannot have. But the interaction of onscreen beauty and private desire speaks to a crisis in American culture, one that pits delusions of male supremacy against feminist awakening and the spirit of gay resistance. Combining criticism, memoir, and his encyclopedic knowledge of film history, David Thomson examines how film has found the fault lines in traditional masculinity and helped to point the way past it toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person desiring others. David Thomson is the author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, Moments That Made the Movies, and the novel Suspects, peopled with characters from film. Lili Anolik is the author of Hollywood’s Eve.
 
 . The Wall: John Lanchester with Keith Gessen
Wednesday, Mar.  13,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/wall-john-lanchester-keith-gessen-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/362409084596756/)          Ravaged by the Change, an island nation in a time very like our own has built the Wall—an enormous concrete barrier around its entire border. Joseph Kavanagh, a new Defender, has one task: to protect his section of the Wall from the Others, the desperate souls who are trapped amid the rising seas outside and attack constantly. Beset by cold, loneliness, and fear, Kavanagh tries to fulfill his duties to his demanding Captain and Sergeant, even as he grows closer to his fellow Defenders. And then the Others attack. John Lanchester’s novels include Debt to Pleasure and Capital and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Keith Gessen is the author of A Terrible Country and All the Sad Young Literary Men, and an editor of n+1.

 . Mars: Asja Bakić with Jennifer Zoble
Thursday, Mar.  14,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/mars-asja-baki%C4%87-jennifer-zoble-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/397499890824020/)         Mars showcases a series of unique and twisted universes, where every character is tasked with making sense of their strange reality. One woman will be freed from purgatory once she writes the perfect book; another abides in a world devoid of physical contact. With wry prose and skewed humor, an emerging feminist writer explores twenty-first century promises of knowledge, freedom, and power. Asja Bakić is a Bosnian poet, writer, and translator. She writes the blog In the Realm of Melancholy (asjaba.com) and is coeditor of the feminist webzine Muff (muf.com.hr). Jennifer Zoble is a writer, editor, educator, and literary translator. She coedits InTranslation, the online journal of international literature that she cofounded in 2007.

 . Elliott Sharp and Evan Eisenberg
Saturday, Mar.  16,  3:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/mcnallyjacksonbooks/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg/2242421136075763/) (https://facebook.com/events/2242421136075763)   To celebrate the publication of Elliott Sharp’s IrRational Music and Evan Eisenberg’s The Trumpiad, both from Terra Nova Books, Sharp and Eisenberg will engage in a wide-ranging conversation about music and art, politics and culture. Sharp’s IrRational Music is a mix of memoir, cultural discussion, and music theory; and Eisenberg’s caustic, uproarious Trumpiad reinvents Swiftian satire for our demented times. Elliott Sharp is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who leads the projects Orchestra Carbon, SysOrk, Tectonics and Terraplane. Evan Eisenberg is the author of The Ecology of Eden.

. Justin Smith and Dora Malech
Tuesday, Mar. 19, 7:00pm at
76 North 4th St., Brooklyn (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/austin-smith-and-dora-malech-williamsburg)
Austin Smith’s Flyover Country is a powerful collection of poems about violence: the violence we do to the land, to animals, to refugees, to the people of distant countries, and to one another. Drawing on his childhood on a farm in Illinois, Smith explores the beauty and cruelty of rural life. Dora Malech’s Stet takes constraint as its catalyst and subject, exploring what it means to make or break a vow, to create art out of a life in flux, to reckon with the body’s bounds, and to arrive at a place where one might bear and care for another life.

As New Yorkers we believe every person has the right to good union jobs, safe and dignified affordable housing, strong and stable communities, a great public education, and a voice in our democracy.

Our neighborhoods came together to stand up for our values and to hold Amazon and the richest man in the world accountable.

Now Andrew Cuomo, big business, and real estate groups are attacking community groups, unions, and residents for standing up for our communities.

Join a growing coalition of over 100 organizations who want economic development policies that are for our neighborhoods--not backroom deals that empower Union busting, Ice Collaborating, tax evading billionaires like Jeff Bezos who are out of touch with New York values

We need ‘bottom-up’ economic development designed for the benefit of our communities, not for billionaires, corporations and real estate speculators.

Join us Thursday to fight for our Neighborhoods!

Reception for We Imagine Sanctuary created by Jess X Snow and Ushka (Thanu Yakupitiyage) in collaboration with NYU students will take place at the A/P/A Institute at NYU at 8 Washington Mews.

At a time of growing global anti-democratic repression against migrants, minorities and dissidents, how can the university serve as a Sanctuary? The expansion of the New Sanctuary movement beyond places of worship into universities began in the wake of electing an ethno-nationalist far-right President into office in November 2016. Even as universities like NYU represent themselves as sanctuaries for the free exchange of ideas, they refuse to declare themselves “sanctuary campuses” for targeted populations for  fear of state retaliation. This symposium highlights the meanings, possibilities and limits of “sanctuary” in practice for academic institutions of higher learning. In the US, as in many parts of the world, the university remains one of the few institutional spaces where the right-wing have not been able to exert its hegemony.

We hope to raise the following sets of questions in our symposium: What might we learn from the history of earlier movements for abolition and sanctuary in the US? What do scholars and students who have faced repressive political climates, whether in the Middle East and North Africa or across the Asia Pacific have to teach us today in the US? How can universities offer physical harbor and amplify the voices and experiences of vulnerable or marginalized communities? In what ways do they foster the exchange of new ideas and of dissensual politics, and what are the limits of these intellectual and critical practices?

In this symposium, we consider the possibilities of building and sustaining coalitions around the coordinated attacks on racialized and migrant communities. We are especially interested in highlighting how activist-scholars learn from other one other, across the campus, across generations, and across the globe. This symposium offers scholars, activists, and students an opportunity for dialogue about the many ways the university can be mobilized for the purposes of sanctuary and for solidarity, and ends with a reception in the mural and sound installation, We Imagine Sanctuary.

Co-presented by NYU Sanctuary and the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. Co-sponsored by the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies at NYU, Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis, and NYU Center for Multicultural Education and Programs (NYU CMEP).

This is our chance to demand community control of the police so we can stop the violence waged on our communities.

This meeting will decide if we get the opportunity to vote for an Elected Civilian Review Board (ECRB) to hold police accountable. ECRB members are elected at the community level, offering genuine oversight and recourse to victims of police abuse, with the power to investigate misconduct and make binding decisions on discipline for abusive officers, like retraining or firing.

We can't wait another year for police to be held accountable. Come hold a portrait of a victim of police violence and help pressure the Charter Revision Commission to do the right thing and bring an ECRB to NY voters.

Even if you need to come late for work, please attend!
Come help us bring community control of the police to NYC by joining the campaign.

This talk will ground us in the historical lineage of Healing Justice based on the work CARA PAGE has done on the front lines for over 20 plus years within social justice movements from the Southeast to New York City. This includes building healing justice strategies as a political tool for transformative justice interventions and racial justice strategies. We will explore the impact of the Medical Industrial Complex as an extension of policing & state violence including how to 'unsurveil the surveilled' by challenging scientific racist notions of 'blood quota & dna‘, while also reimagining our sacred practices and traditions that are integral to our collective survival and liberation that are rooted in our ancestral geographies.

The NYC Charter is the city's constitution, creating the framework for our city government. The Charter controls how the City spends our tax dollars, how decisions are made about changes to our neighborhoods and the powers of our elected officials. Nearly 30 years ago, a Charter Revision Commission overhauled the city's government. We've been taking a fresh look.

Join Verso Books for the launch of the graphic biography of socialist labour legend
Eugene V. Debs.

Eugene Victor Debs led the Socialist Party in the early twentieth century to federal and state office across the country, helped to pioneer a fighting union politics that organised all workers, and became the beloved figurehead of American radicalism. Imprisoned for speaking out against World War I, Debs ran for president from prison, receiving over one million votes. Debs’s story is the story of labour battles in industrialising America, of a socialist politics grown directly out of the Midwestern heartland, and of a distinctly American vision of socialism.

This graphic biography, published in collaboration with the Democratic Socialists of America is geared toward a new generation exploring socialist and working-class radicalism.

This event will be live streamed and recorded. Beer, wine and books will be available for sale.

"In addition to being a delightful biography of the railroad man from Terre Haute, this is a splendid genealogy of the struggles and ideas that energize today’s socialist revival. Buy an extra copy and turn on a friend or workmate.” – Mike Davis

Eugene V. Debs: A Graphic Biography is available from Verso.

. On the End of Privacy: Richard Miller with Jeffrey Longhofer
Thursday, Mar.  7,  7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/end-privacy-richard-miller-jeffrey-longhofer-williamsburg)   (https://facebook.com/events/615722578874282/)     On the End of Privacy explores how literacy is transformed by technology that lets us publish anything that we can see or hear. Miller examines the 2010 suicide of student Tyler Clementi, after he discovered that his roommate spied on him via webcam. Why did nobody intervene? This question leads Miller to online porn sites, the invention of Facebook, the court-martial of Chelsea Manning, the contents of Hillary Clinton’s email server, Anthony Weiner’s text messages, and more. Richard E. Miller is a professor in the English Department at Rutgers University. Jeffrey Longhofer is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Rutgers University.

 . Nervous States: William Davies and Max Read
Tuesday, Mar.  5, 7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/nervous-states-william-davies-and-max-read-williamsburg)  (https://facebook.com/events/625507037895509/)     In this sweeping and provocative work, political economist William Davies draws on a four-hundred-year history of ideas to reframe our understanding of the contemporary world. He argues that global trends decades and even centuries in the making have reduced a world of logic and fact into one driven by emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. This has ushered in an age of “nervous states,” both in our individual bodies and our body politic. William Davies is a political economist at Goldsmiths, University of London. Max Read is a senior editor at New York magazine, where he edits Select All, a website covering the intersection of technology and culture.

 . The Life of Gabriel García Márquez: Silvana Paternostro with Alvaro Enrigue

(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/solitude-company-life-gabriel-garc%C3%ADa-m%C3%A1rquez-silvana-paternostro-alvaro-enrigue-prince-st)   (https://facebook.com/events/763111614060828/)
Irreverent and hopeful, Solitude & Company recounts the life of a boy from the provinces who decided to become a writer. This is the story of how little Gabito became Gabriel García Márquez, and how he survived his own self-creation. Silvana Paternostro was born in Colombia, and is the author of In the Land of God and Man. Álvaro Enrigue is the author of Sudden Death.
 
 . Sleeping With Strangers: David Thomson and Lili Anolik
Monday, Mar.  11, 7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/sleeping-strangers-david-thomson-and-lili-anolik-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/2271885483084508/)  Film can make us want things we cannot have. But the interaction of onscreen beauty and private desire speaks to a crisis in American culture, one that pits delusions of male supremacy against feminist awakening and the spirit of gay resistance. Combining criticism, memoir, and his encyclopedic knowledge of film history, David Thomson examines how film has found the fault lines in traditional masculinity and helped to point the way past it toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person desiring others. David Thomson is the author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, Moments That Made the Movies, and the novel Suspects, peopled with characters from film. Lili Anolik is the author of Hollywood’s Eve.
 
 . The Wall: John Lanchester with Keith Gessen
Wednesday, Mar.  13,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/wall-john-lanchester-keith-gessen-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/362409084596756/)          Ravaged by the Change, an island nation in a time very like our own has built the Wall—an enormous concrete barrier around its entire border. Joseph Kavanagh, a new Defender, has one task: to protect his section of the Wall from the Others, the desperate souls who are trapped amid the rising seas outside and attack constantly. Beset by cold, loneliness, and fear, Kavanagh tries to fulfill his duties to his demanding Captain and Sergeant, even as he grows closer to his fellow Defenders. And then the Others attack. John Lanchester’s novels include Debt to Pleasure and Capital and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Keith Gessen is the author of A Terrible Country and All the Sad Young Literary Men, and an editor of n+1.

 . Mars: Asja Bakić with Jennifer Zoble
Thursday, Mar.  14,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/mars-asja-baki%C4%87-jennifer-zoble-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/397499890824020/)         Mars showcases a series of unique and twisted universes, where every character is tasked with making sense of their strange reality. One woman will be freed from purgatory once she writes the perfect book; another abides in a world devoid of physical contact. With wry prose and skewed humor, an emerging feminist writer explores twenty-first century promises of knowledge, freedom, and power. Asja Bakić is a Bosnian poet, writer, and translator. She writes the blog In the Realm of Melancholy (asjaba.com) and is coeditor of the feminist webzine Muff (muf.com.hr). Jennifer Zoble is a writer, editor, educator, and literary translator. She coedits InTranslation, the online journal of international literature that she cofounded in 2007.

 . Elliott Sharp and Evan Eisenberg
Saturday, Mar.  16,  3:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/mcnallyjacksonbooks/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg/2242421136075763/) (https://facebook.com/events/2242421136075763)   To celebrate the publication of Elliott Sharp’s IrRational Music and Evan Eisenberg’s The Trumpiad, both from Terra Nova Books, Sharp and Eisenberg will engage in a wide-ranging conversation about music and art, politics and culture. Sharp’s IrRational Music is a mix of memoir, cultural discussion, and music theory; and Eisenberg’s caustic, uproarious Trumpiad reinvents Swiftian satire for our demented times. Elliott Sharp is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who leads the projects Orchestra Carbon, SysOrk, Tectonics and Terraplane. Evan Eisenberg is the author of The Ecology of Eden.

. Justin Smith and Dora Malech
Tuesday, Mar. 19, 7:00pm at
76 North 4th St., Brooklyn (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/austin-smith-and-dora-malech-williamsburg)
Austin Smith’s Flyover Country is a powerful collection of poems about violence: the violence we do to the land, to animals, to refugees, to the people of distant countries, and to one another. Drawing on his childhood on a farm in Illinois, Smith explores the beauty and cruelty of rural life. Dora Malech’s Stet takes constraint as its catalyst and subject, exploring what it means to make or break a vow, to create art out of a life in flux, to reckon with the body’s bounds, and to arrive at a place where one might bear and care for another life.

Book (routledge.com/Psychoanalysis-in-the-Barrios-Race-Class-and-the-Unconscious/Gherovici-Christian/p/book/9781138346406)

Since 2009, CSGS has collaborated each year with the journal Studies in Gender and Sexuality to host a cutting edge conversation at the edges of psychoanalysis and social theories of difference. This year’s annual installment showcases pressing issues raised by the anthology Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious, and features co-editors Patricia Gherovici and Christopher Christian and contributor Carlos Padrón. Among other things, this path-breaking volume argues that the clinical is political and listens for Freud with a Spanish accent in Latin America and beyond. This panel discussion will not only ask what happens when psychoanalysis goes to the Barrios, but — reversing direction — it will consider how clinical work and psychoanalytic theories can be transformed by bringing the Barrios into psychoanalysis.

This event is free & open to the public. Venue is wheelchair-accessible.

For more information about this event, please contact the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality at csgsnyu@nyu.edu or 212-992-9540.

Comprised of historical texts spanning two centuries, The Women's Suffrage Movement is a comprehensive and singular volume that covers the major issues and figures involved in the movement, with a distinctive focus on diversity, incorporating race, class, and gender, and illuminating minority voices. In an effort to spotlight the many influential voices that were excluded from the movement, the writings of well-known suffragists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony are featured alongside accounts of Native American women who inspired suffragists like Matilda Joslyn Gage to join the movement, as well as African American suffragists such as Sarah Mapps Douglas and Harriet Purvis, who were often left out of the conversation because of their race. The editor and introducer, Sally Roesch Wagner, is a pre-eminent scholar of the diverse backbone of the women's suffrage movement, the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation, and serves on the New York State Women's Suffrage Commission.

Join us at The New School's Tishman Auditorium for a discussion between two academic giants and trailblazers in the history of women's rights! The discussion will be moderated by New York Times gender editor and author of Feminist Fight Club, Jessica Bennett!

This event will take place in the New School's John L. Tishman Auditorium, located in the University Center at

Presented in collaboration with the Executive Dean's Office at the Schools of Public Engagement at The New School. This event is part of The New School's Centennial celebration. Learn more at newschool.edu/100.

New York City will be one of the many cities around the world mobilizing against racism and the far-right on March 16, 2019, UN Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

The election of Donald Trump in 2016 has emboldened organized white nationalists and fascist gangs to take to the streets across the United States. These groups have organized attacks on immigrants, Muslims, Jews, people of color, LGBTQ folks, organized workers, and leftists in Charlottesville and across the US, and have encouraged individuals to engage in violent hate crimes. There is an urgent need to work together to stop the alarming rise of the ultra-right and fascists.

This takes place in in the very worrying context of an international growth of racism and the far right. In addition to violent fascist street movements, Far Right parties are also  advancing electorally and are even entering governments, as we see with Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil.

This is often fullend by racist scapegoating of immigrants. Islamaphobia is rife. Antisemitism is growing again, with terrible results like the attack on the synagogue in Pittsburgh. The Nazi ideology is also apposed to anyone resisting oppressive gender roles.

The rise of racism and the far right represents a grave danger for the vast majority of the population. We will never be able to resolve the different social problems we face unless we defend the unity of ordinary people in the face of the attempts of racists and fascists to divide us.

But we have also seen a rise in resistance in the U.S., with demonstrations against the alt-right and neo-Nazis hate events often shutting them down, limiting their audience, demoralizing their new recruits, and bringing in more anti-fascists into struggle. The situation is still urgent, and the potential for our resistance is much bigger.

On or around 16 March 2019 there will be coordinated mass anti racist demonstrations in Austria, Britain (London, Glasgow and Cardiff),  Catalonia, Spain, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Australia, Canada, Brazil and the U.S. (New York and Washington DC).

We are dedicated to a broad movement to bring as many together as possible in opposition to the far-right. We would like to see more mobilizations in the spirit of the 25,000 who marched against the Alt-Right in Boston, 2017, the 250,000 on the #Unteilbar (indivisible) demonstration in Berlin in October, and the quarter of a million against Trump in London in July of 2018.

We need to build broad movements to continue and develop this opposition. Join together noon at Foley Square on March 16th as New York joins this day of action across the world.

We are the majority, we can win.

https://marxedproject.org/events/

Bringing together a decade of AK Thompson’s essays on the culture of revolt, Premonitions offers an engaged assessment of contemporary radical politics. Inspired by Walter Benjamin and addressing themes ranging from violence and representation to Romanticism and death, Thompson combines scholarship and grassroots grit to disabuse readers—and rebels—of cherished certainties. Whether uncovering the unrealized promise buried in mainstream cultural offerings or tracing our course toward the inevitable moment of reckoning ahead, the essays in Premonitions are both practical investigations and prescient provocations.

According to Thompson, Premonitions are similar to Walter Benjamin’s “illuminations’ and “reflections” in that, as forms of extrapolative reasoning, they reveal how a thing or event can be made to alert us to the broader social process from which it derives. The major difference is that, whereas Benjamin’s concepts placed emphasis on the resolution of accumulated tensions, “premonitions” direct our attention toward the future that will obtain should present dynamics be left undisturbed.

Because of his misgivings with “progress,” which Benjamin took to be both a central conceit of capitalist culture and an idea that had blunted class hatred among social democrats, Benjamin urged movements to turn their back on the future and focus more on “the image of enslaved ancestors … than that of happy grandchildren.” Even so, his work discloses a strong premonitory orientation. The concluding line to Paris, Capital of the Nineteenth Century (1935), for instance, recounts how “in the convulsions of the commodity economy we begin to recognize the monuments of the bourgeoisie as ruins even before they have crumbled.”

“A pleasure. “This incendiary little book is also a finely balanced one. It asks the defining questions of our hard moment and shows why the answers are uneasy  ones. One part an elegiac history of recent freedom movements and their quandaries, one part a caution against any too-easy commitment to nonviolence, Premonitions teems with insights.”
— David Roediger, author of Class, Race, and Marxism

 AK Thompson is an activist, author, and social theorist. Currently a professor of social movements and social change at Ithaca College, his publications include Sociology for Changing the World: Social Movements/Social Research (2006), Black Bloc, White Riot: Anti-Globalization and the Genealogy of Dissent (2010), Spontaneous Combustion: The Eros Effect and Global Revolution (2017) and co-edited Keywords for Radicals: The Contested Vocabulary of Late-Capitalist Struggle (2016). Between 2005 and 2012, he served on the Editorial Committee of Upping the Anti: A Journal of Theory and Action.

Trump says there will never be socialism in this country.

Let's prove him wrong. Capitalism has given us a world of obscene disparities of wealth, ecological devastation, endless wars, racism and oppression. But the ruling class is starting to fear the revival of an alternative to these horrors: socialism. Not only can socialists fight for reforms like a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, gender and racial justice, Palestinian liberation and more. We can fight for a whole different world based on human need rather than profit and full liberation from all oppression.

Join us this Saturday to organize for today's struggles and tomorrow's future.

Free admission.

Come celebrate immigration in America with two special screenings.

Three Trembling Cities (Arthur Vincie, 2017, TRT: 35 minutes) is an intimate portrait of the inner lives and daily struggles of the immigrants who make NYC’s heart tremble with hope.  The first season follows two fictional circles of immigrants as they juggle jobs, relationships, immigration issues, family expectations, and their own dreams.  Their stories are intercut with non-fiction interviews with immigrants who’ve faced parallel issues.  Three Trembling Cities has won 7 awards to date.  Arthur Vincie is an award winning Writer/Director living and teaching in Brooklyn. Find more info online at https://stareable.com/series/view/three-trembling-cities

With Q and A with the Director and special guest speaker.

The Immigrant (Charlie Chaplin, 1917, TRT: 22 minutes). With his trademark blend of humor and pathos, Chaplin follows a pair of immigrants to America and chronicles the very tangible problems they face. A vocal critic of both war and Capitalism, a scene in which Chaplin’s character kicks an immigration officer (the ICE of its day) was later used as evidence of his anti-Americanism when he was forced to leave the US in 1952.  The Immigrant is as relevant now as ever. Screening in glorious 16mm!

With live musical accompaniment.

You can't evict a movement!

On Sunday, March 10, Free University - NYC invites people to learn skills and histories of housing justice so we can create affordable quality housing for all. In 2019, New York has its best opportunity in decades to win housing justice for all. This Spring, New York rent protection laws could either be further eroded by wealthy politicians to benefit landlords, or could be strengthened to include Universal Rent Stabilization. While NYCHA needs $32 billion in repairs, the City and State plan to give Amazon $3 billion to take over Long Island City, Queens, and to spend $80 billion in the next decade to build multiple new jails and increased policing that will fill them. Fights against luxury rezoning are being lost all over the city as City officials steamroll residents’ voices and Community Board votes again and again. In response, several campaigns have emerged to build an alternative future of housing priorities, but we need a shared strategy that takes into account all of our lives. How are these housing struggles linked with racism, police violence, community accountability, disability justice, neocolonial gentrification, domestic violence, homeless shelters and beyond? How were the housing legislative victories of the 1970’s won, and which more recent victories and losses can we learn from?

This free school is intended to create waves of learning and action. Participants will commit to learning how to fight for stable housing -- with tenant associations, rent strikes, eviction defense, community land trusts, resisting the landlord/politician power structure, and more. Then, we’ll bring this information back to our homes, shelters, neighborhoods, and workplaces. We’ll uplift the goals of statewide rent control and stabilization, reinvestment in NYCHA, divestment from prisons and policing, and strengthening neighbor support and abolitionist relationships.

These are examples of potential workshops that we invite individuals and groups to design:
~ How to form a Tenant Association
~ How to conduct a Rent Strike (including perhaps a recent history of NYC Rent Strikes in Sunset Park, Crown Heights, etc)
~ Eviction Defense Workshop and Sign-Up
~ Housing Court Support Training and Sign-Up
~ Mapping out the Landlord/Politician power structure in NYC (Learning about rezoning fights, “adjusted median income”, who the “City Planning Commission” is, neighborhood by neighborhood, real estate dirty dealings with politicians)
~ How do we move protest earlier in the rezoning fights? What is the timeline and who are the targets?
~ Learning the history of how rent stabilization was won in 1974
~ Lessons from squatters, community gardens, and housing design innovation in the Lower East Side and across the city (30-day occupancy rights, yo!)
~ Role of DIY spaces in both gentrification and cultural expression
~ Disability/access issues: public accessible bathrooms!
~ NYC’s fight against Amazon (using lessons from how Germany kicked out Google)  
~ Tenant songwriting workshop!!!!

Event Accessibility:
For the health and safety of all participants, it is important that we ask that everyone come fragrance-free to this event. University Settlement’s ramp entrance is a few feet to the right of the entrance with steps.This event is held in a multiple floor building that has stairs and with an elevator. Each session will have mixed armless chair seating. There are 3 bathrooms in the building. 2 are in the basement (down a set of stairs, not accessible) and gendered. 1 single-stall bathroom (gender-inclusive, accessible) is on the 2nd floor that folx can go to via the elevator. At the event, people wearing an armband can provide support to help meet needs (e.g. refill water bottles or get food). Surviving ableism is tough.

El domingo del 10 de marzo, La Escuelita Libre de Nueva York invita a la gente a aprender nuevas habilidades y historias de justicia de viviendas para que podemos crear viviendas asequibles y de alta calidad para cada persona. En 2019, Nueva York enfrenta su mejor oportunidad en décadas para lograr justicia de viviendas para todes. Esta primavera, las leyes de protección del alquiler podrían ser deterioradas por polítiques riques para beneficiar a les propietaries, o podrían ser fortalecidas para incluir Estabilización Universal de Alquileres. Aunque NYCHA necesita $32 mil millones para reparaciones, la ciudad y el estado planifican a dar $3 mil millones a Amazon para apoderarse de Long Island City, Queens, y a gastar $80 mil millones en la próxima década para construir múltiples nuevas prisiones y a aumentar la vigilancia policial para llenarlas. Las luchas contra la recalificación barrial de lujo están perdiendo por toda la ciudad mientras que la oficialía municipal arolla a las voces de residentes y los votos de las Juntas de la Comunidad una y otra vez. En respuesta, varias campañas han surgido para construir un porvenir alternativo de prioridades de viviendas, pero necesitamos una estrategia compartida que toma en cuenta todas nuestras vidas. ¿De qué manera estas luchas de viviendas están vinculadas con el racismo, la violencia policial, la contabilidad comunitaria, la justicia de accesibilidad, la gentrificación neocolonial, la violencia patriarcal, los refugios para desemparades, y más? ¿Cómo lograron las victorias de legislación de viviendas de la década de 70, y de cuáles nuevas victorias y pérdidas podemos aprender?

https://twitter.com/InterferenceArc  info@interferencearchive.org

We’ll kick off this event at 2:00pm with a presentation and conversation led by Bev Grant, an activist, musician, and photographer, about the feminist organizing in the late 1960s and the performative protests at the 1968 Miss America Pageant.

Stick around to join local Wikipedians and Interference Archive volunteers to work on a rhizomatic campaign to improve coverage of radical women and the arts on Wikipedia. Participants will have the opportunity to work directly with archival materials in the Interference collection and explore intersections between art, feminism, and activism. This edit-a-thon is one of dozens of Art+Feminism events happening in an asynchronous, worldwide effort to address a Wikipedia gender gap.

Research shows that only 8.5-16% of Wikipedia editors are women. The reasons aren’t quite clear, but the effect is that the world’s most popular source of information is lacking coverage of women and topics important to women. Let’s change that!

No experience editing Wikipedia is required but please bring a laptop! Experienced Wikipedians will be around to help out, and we’ll be starting the edit-a-thon
around 2:45pm with a brief tutorial to cover the basics. Check out our Wikipedia Dashboard for more information  (https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Interference_Archive/IA_Women_Make_Change); RSVP to let us know you’ll be coming.

Refreshments provided. Childcare available but requires RSVP by March 5. Contact us with questions at info@interferencearchive.org.

Bev Grant is an activist, musician, and photographer. She was the winner of the 2017 ASCAP Jay Gorney songwriter award and the 2017 Joe Hill Award. Grant grew up singing and playing in Portland, Oregon, where she began her performing career as a child in a band with her two sisters.

Join NOW-NYC and the New York Alliance Against the Legalization of Prostitution — a coalition of women’s rights organizations, direct service providers, faith-based community leaders, sex trade survivors, and concerned New Yorkers to voice opposition to proposed legislation that would fully decriminalize prostitution, including pimping and sex buying.

We agree that individuals who sell sex should not be punished or criminalized, but wholesale legalization is not the answer. Let’s find a middle ground that mandates comprehensive services for people engaging in the sex trade but draws the line at legalizing pimping and opening the doors to a friendly climate for sex trafficking to occur.

We are rising up...

...despite Trump’s shameless lies and misogynist and racist rhetoric. Together, with you, we elected more women to office than at any other time in our history, and more of us are engaged in on-the-ground activism than ever before. Help us to keep this going by joining as a member or supporting our work with a donation today.

About the book:
For more than fifty years, the United States supported the Colombian military in a war that cost over 200,000 lives. During a single period of heightened U.S. assistance known as Plan Colombia, the Colombian military killed more than 5,000 civilians. In Plan Colombia John Lindsay-Poland narrates a 2005 massacre in the San José de Apartadó Peace Community and the subsequent investigation, official cover-up, and response from the international community. He examines how the multibillion-dollar U.S. military aid and official indifference contributed to the Colombian military's atrocities. Drawing on his human rights activism and interviews with military officers, community members, and human rights defenders, Lindsay-Poland describes grassroots initiatives in Colombia and the United States that resisted militarized policy and created alternatives to war. Although they had few resources, these initiatives offered models for constructing just and peaceful relationships between the United States and other nations. Yet, despite the civilian death toll and documented atrocities, Washington, DC, considered Plan Colombia's counterinsurgency campaign to be so successful that it became the dominant blueprint for U.S. military intervention around the world.

https://pcp.gc.cuny.edu/?id=316

Thousands of people in the Philippines have died as a result of President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal “war on drugs,” which have mostly targeted the country’s poorest people. Meanwhile, over 130 human rights defenders, mostly famers and indigenous peoples, have been killed since Duterte’s rise to power in 2016. Opposition leaders and journalists also were arrested. While Duterte’s deadly policies have been condemned by the international community, his popularity in the country remains high. What are the prospects of peace in the Philippines under Duterte? How do grassroots social movements advance the struggles for human rights under a culture of impunity? What are the consequences of U.S. foreign policy in the Philippines, a former colony, in promoting democracy in the country? Join us in this conversation with Filipina human rights defender, Cristina Palabay, and Prof. Nerve Macaspac of CUNY College of Staten Island.

Speakers:
Cristina Palabay
Secretary-General, KARAPATAN
(Alliance for the Advancement of People’s Rights in the Philippines)

Nerve V. Macaspac
Assistant Professor, CUNY College of Staten Island;
Philippine Country Specialist, Amnesty International USA

Join us for a Women's History Month panel in celebration of the 35th Anniversary of the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium.

Meghan Duggan    A native of Danvers, Massachusetts, Meghan Duggan has achieved sustained success at all levels of her hockey career in international and collegiate play. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin where she won three NCAA Championships, led the nation in scoring and is the all-time leader in career points. During her Team USA career, Duggan won three Olympic medals, including during the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, where as captain she led the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team to its first gold medal in 20 years. A member of the U.S. Women’s National Team since 2007, she has won seven IIHF Women’s World Hockey Championships. Professionally, she has been a three-time All-Star in the two different women’s leagues in the U.S. (NWHL) and Canada (CWHL), a two-time Clarkson Cup champion while playing for the Boston Blades of the CWHL and a two-time Isobel Cup finalist while playing in the NWHL for the Buffalo Beauts & Boston Pride.

Off the ice, Duggan led a successful strike by the 2016-17 U.S. Women’s National Team vs. their national governing body, USA Hockey, for the gender equitable treatment of their team in advance of the 2017 IIHF Women’s World Championship. The team received ESPN’s 2018 Sports Humanitarian Award for their efforts. In the spring of 2018, she became an athlete ambassador for the Women’s Sports Foundation & Tyler Clemente Foundation to combat bullying in which she still advocates for today in 2019.

Judie Lomax holds the distinction of being the first NCAA Division I women’s basketball player to lead the nation in rebounding in consecutive seasons, and the first Columbia women’s basketball player to be named Ivy League Player of the Year. In each of her two seasons, Lomax was both a first-team All-Ivy selection and an Academic All-Ivy honoree. She was an Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention in 2009-10 after leading the Lions to a school-record 18 wins, their most since becoming a Division I program. A 2010 graduate of Barnard College, Lomax was inducted into the Columbia University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.

After graduation, she pursued a professional basketball career with the Connecticut Sun of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), Aanekosken Huima of Finland’s Naisten Korisliiga and Eisvogel USC Freiburg of Germany’s Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga. Lomax retired to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a psychologist. She is a clinical psychology doctoral candidate at Loyola University Maryland, where she earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology in 2015. Her primary clinical and research interests are in resilience, maximizing adjustment, aging and end of life, and the relationship between physical and mental health. For her dissertation research, she examined the role of team-based physical activity in fostering self-efficacy and self-esteem in individuals striving to exit homelessness. She is currently completing her pre-doctoral psychology internship with an emphasis in health psychology at Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System and anticipates earning her doctorate in July 2019.

 
Caroline Nelson-Nichols    Former U.S. National Team member and two-time Olympian Caroline Nelson-Nichols was named head coach of the Columbia field hockey program in May 2015 after three years as an assistant coach. Nichols wrapped up a brilliant seven-year international field hockey career in the summer of 2014. A pivotal piece of Team USA's backfield, Nichols compiled a total of 165 impressive caps to her name. A solid force on penalty corners and penalty strokes, her skill set was greatly utilized most recently at the 2014 Champions Challenge and Hockey World Cup where the United States made an impressive fourth-place finish.

Nichols graduated from Old Dominion with a B.S. in biology with honors and an outstanding four-year playing career. She was a national all-academic team selection and an all-conference honoree from 2004-06. In 2006, Nichols was recognized as an NFHCA first team All-American and an NFHCA first team All-South Region honoree. Additionally, she was named the 2006 CAA Player of the Year and CAA Defender of the Year, marking the first time in CAA history someone swept both honors in the same season.

Nichols was a member of the 2008 Beijing Olympics team, the 2008 Olympic Qualifier team and the 2010 World Cup Qualifier Team. She earned a gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games when the U.S. defeated top-ranked Argentina in the Championship game. In 2006, she was named to the USA World Cup Training Squad and was a member of the Netherlands Tour team in 2007. She competed with the 2012 London Olympics team in June 2012 and was re-selected for the National Squad in June of 2013.

Michele Roberts     Notably, Michele Roberts is the first woman to head a major professional sports union in North America. In her role as Executive Director, Ms. Roberts serves as the primary advocate for all players, ensuring the protection of the organization and its membership, including serving as the lead negotiator in all collective bargaining activities. Prior to this selection, Ms. Roberts was a renowned trial lawyer and member of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom’s Litigation Group.

Ms. Roberts is a frequent lecturer and presenter to both the bench and bar on a variety of topics related to litigation and trial practice.

David Neiwert at The Half King

event https://versobooks.com/events/1873-david-neiwert-at-the-half-king

David Neiwert, author of "Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in The Age of Trump" in conversation with Glenn Raucher.

Just as Donald Trump’s victorious campaign for the US presidency shocked the world, the seemingly sudden national prominence of white supremacists, xenophobes, militia leaders, and mysterious “alt-right” figures mystifies many. But the American extreme right has been growing steadily in number and influence since the 1990s with the rise of patriot militias. Following 9/11, conspiracy theorists found fresh life; and in virulent reaction to the first black US president, militant racists have come out of the woodwork. Nurtured by a powerful right-wing media sector in radio, TV, and online, the far right, Tea Party movement conservatives, and Republican activists found common ground. Figures such as Stephen Bannon, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Alex Jones, once rightly dismissed as cranks, now haunt the reports of mainstream journalism.

Investigative reporter David Neiwert has been tracking extremists for more than two decades. In Alt-America, he provides a deeply researched and authoritative report on the growth of fascism and far-right terrorism, the violence of which in the last decade has surpassed anything inspired by Islamist or other ideologies in the United States. The product of years of reportage, and including the most in-depth investigation of Trump’s ties to the far right, this is a crucial book about one of the most disturbing aspects of American society.

 . Sleeping With Strangers: David Thomson and Lili Anolik
Monday, Mar.  11, 7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/sleeping-strangers-david-thomson-and-lili-anolik-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/2271885483084508/)  Film can make us want things we cannot have. But the interaction of onscreen beauty and private desire speaks to a crisis in American culture, one that pits delusions of male supremacy against feminist awakening and the spirit of gay resistance. Combining criticism, memoir, and his encyclopedic knowledge of film history, David Thomson examines how film has found the fault lines in traditional masculinity and helped to point the way past it toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person desiring others. David Thomson is the author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, Moments That Made the Movies, and the novel Suspects, peopled with characters from film. Lili Anolik is the author of Hollywood’s Eve.

 . Nervous States: William Davies and Max Read
Tuesday, Mar.  5, 7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/nervous-states-william-davies-and-max-read-williamsburg)  (https://facebook.com/events/625507037895509/)     In this sweeping and provocative work, political economist William Davies draws on a four-hundred-year history of ideas to reframe our understanding of the contemporary world. He argues that global trends decades and even centuries in the making have reduced a world of logic and fact into one driven by emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. This has ushered in an age of “nervous states,” both in our individual bodies and our body politic. William Davies is a political economist at Goldsmiths, University of London. Max Read is a senior editor at New York magazine, where he edits Select All, a website covering the intersection of technology and culture.

 . The Life of Gabriel García Márquez: Silvana Paternostro with Alvaro Enrigue
Wednesday, Mar.  6, 7:00pm at 52 Prince St.
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/solitude-company-life-gabriel-garc%C3%ADa-m%C3%A1rquez-silvana-paternostro-alvaro-enrigue-prince-st)   (https://facebook.com/events/763111614060828/)
Irreverent and hopeful, Solitude & Company recounts the life of a boy from the provinces who decided to become a writer. This is the story of how little Gabito became Gabriel García Márquez, and how he survived his own self-creation. Silvana Paternostro was born in Colombia, and is the author of In the Land of God and Man. Álvaro Enrigue is the author of Sudden Death.
 
 . On the End of Privacy: Richard Miller with Jeffrey Longhofer
Thursday, Mar.  7,  7:00pm at 76 North 4th St., Brooklyn
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/end-privacy-richard-miller-jeffrey-longhofer-williamsburg)   (https://facebook.com/events/615722578874282/)     On the End of Privacy explores how literacy is transformed by technology that lets us publish anything that we can see or hear. Miller examines the 2010 suicide of student Tyler Clementi, after he discovered that his roommate spied on him via webcam. Why did nobody intervene? This question leads Miller to online porn sites, the invention of Facebook, the court-martial of Chelsea Manning, the contents of Hillary Clinton’s email server, Anthony Weiner’s text messages, and more. Richard E. Miller is a professor in the English Department at Rutgers University. Jeffrey Longhofer is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Rutgers University.
 
 . The Wall: John Lanchester with Keith Gessen
Wednesday, Mar.  13,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/wall-john-lanchester-keith-gessen-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/362409084596756/)          Ravaged by the Change, an island nation in a time very like our own has built the Wall—an enormous concrete barrier around its entire border. Joseph Kavanagh, a new Defender, has one task: to protect his section of the Wall from the Others, the desperate souls who are trapped amid the rising seas outside and attack constantly. Beset by cold, loneliness, and fear, Kavanagh tries to fulfill his duties to his demanding Captain and Sergeant, even as he grows closer to his fellow Defenders. And then the Others attack. John Lanchester’s novels include Debt to Pleasure and Capital and have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Keith Gessen is the author of A Terrible Country and All the Sad Young Literary Men, and an editor of n+1.

 . Mars: Asja Bakić with Jennifer Zoble
Thursday, Mar.  14,  7:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/mars-asja-baki%C4%87-jennifer-zoble-prince-street)  (https://facebook.com/events/397499890824020/)         Mars showcases a series of unique and twisted universes, where every character is tasked with making sense of their strange reality. One woman will be freed from purgatory once she writes the perfect book; another abides in a world devoid of physical contact. With wry prose and skewed humor, an emerging feminist writer explores twenty-first century promises of knowledge, freedom, and power. Asja Bakić is a Bosnian poet, writer, and translator. She writes the blog In the Realm of Melancholy (asjaba.com) and is coeditor of the feminist webzine Muff (muf.com.hr). Jennifer Zoble is a writer, editor, educator, and literary translator. She coedits InTranslation, the online journal of international literature that she cofounded in 2007.

 . Elliott Sharp and Evan Eisenberg
Saturday, Mar.  16,  3:00pm at 52 Prince St., NYC
(https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg-prince-street) (https://facebook.com/events/mcnallyjacksonbooks/elliott-sharp-and-evan-eisenberg/2242421136075763/) (https://facebook.com/events/2242421136075763)   To celebrate the publication of Elliott Sharp’s IrRational Music and Evan Eisenberg’s The Trumpiad, both from Terra Nova Books, Sharp and Eisenberg will engage in a wide-ranging conversation about music and art, politics and culture. Sharp’s IrRational Music is a mix of memoir, cultural discussion, and music theory; and Eisenberg’s caustic, uproarious Trumpiad reinvents Swiftian satire for our demented times. Elliott Sharp is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who leads the projects Orchestra Carbon, SysOrk, Tectonics and Terraplane. Evan Eisenberg is the author of The Ecology of Eden.

 . Justin Smith and Dora Malech
Tuesday, Mar. 19, 7:00pm at
76 North 4th St., Brooklyn (https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/austin-smith-and-dora-malech-williamsburg)
Austin Smith’s Flyover Country is a powerful collection of poems about violence: the violence we do to the land, to animals, to refugees, to the people of distant countries, and to one another. Drawing on his childhood on a farm in Illinois, Smith explores the beauty and cruelty of rural life. Dora Malech’s Stet takes constraint as its catalyst and subject, exploring what it means to make or break a vow, to create art out of a life in flux, to reckon with the body’s bounds, and to arrive at a place where one might bear and care for another life.

Reina de Aztlan is your favorite millennial Xicana matriarch whose end goal is to dismantle systems of oppression, redistribute resources and End the United States of America. As VP alongside our recently announced interim President, Vaginal Davis, she will seek to promote world peace via global non-interventionist strategies in order to allow countries that have long been held in states of underdevelopment to thrive. Within the near future, Empire will fall. The local, state and federal US governments will be dismantled to make room for autonomous Mutual Aid communities that fulfill the needs and desires of the people who directly live in them. We will no longer live in fear and coercion from the police state or so-called Democratic institutions that have only ever benefited those with the most wealth. We will live in peace. Reina is a DQoC (Drag Queen of Color) and she has had the opportunities to present at Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, New York Public Library, community fundraisers, bars, clubs, private weddings and Quinceañera's. For bookings feel free to slide into her DM's on Instagram @reinadeaztlan.

Discussion Moderated by Prof. Gil Hochberg,  Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies

Films
Interrupted Biographies
Mirna Bamieh
The film is a visitation to incidents in Bamieh's family history, that occurred in Beirut, Jerusalem and other parts of the world. Where the ever-shifting film consists of footage from a home-video tape that was filmed in Beirut in 1996. It is an attempt to highlight an almost forgotten period of history, through personal narrative.

The White Elephant
Shuruq Harb
An experimental video loosely based on the adventures of a Palestinian teenager coming to grips with her angst within the political climate of the Oslo Accords in Palestine in the 1990s. Narrating a story of lies amongst thieves, the confessional and at times darkly humorous video projects a confrontational gaze onto the landscape through acts that transgress political boundaries and explore personal desires.

A Magical Substance Flows Into Me
Jumana Manna
The film weaves through musical traditions of a multitude of communities living in and around Jerusalem. It takes as its starting point German-Jewish ethnomusicologist Robert Lachmann’s field recordings of ‘Oriental’ groups in Palestine in the 1930s and his Oriental Music radio series made for the Palestinian Broadcasting Service; established under the British Mandate (1920-1948). Responding to Lachmann’s project, Manna revisits the communities that he studied–including Kurdish, Moroccan, and Yemenite Jews, Samaritans, members of urban and rural Palestinian communities, Bedouins and Coptic Christians–replaying his recordings and making new recordings of her own. These exchanges take place in their homes, offices, recording studios, and places of worship, and are interspersed with scenes from her own family home in East Jerusalem. Weaving from one site to another, the intertwinement of heritage and identities are presented, along with the imagining of a multifaceted Palestine.

Ordinary Violence: on Democratic Governance and Racial Capitalism
 a lecture by Jodi Melamed

 How can we explain the open secret of permissible violence for capitalist accumulation, in the U.S. and globally?  Jodi Melamed argues that we must come to grips with the diffuse and deadly capacities of administrative power to give impunity to racial capitalist violence through seemingly neutral repertoires of ‘democratic’, ‘procedural’, and ‘technical’ governance. In this talk, she examines administrative power rooted in rights. That is, Melamed examines how capitalist economies are constituted, operationalized, and administrated through differential rights. In particular, she looks at the administration of today’s financial, extractive, and logistical neoliberal capitalism through differential rights and identifies two racialized repertoires of rights powerfully at work in the present: the right of investor classes to be unencumbered by concern for the wellbeing of others, and assetless individuality as the right to be handled.

Jodi Melamed is associate professor of English and Africana Studies at Marquette University. She is the author of Represent and Destroy: Rationalizing Violence in the New Racial Capitalism (University of Minnesota Press, 2011) and has published many articles and chapters in a wide array of journals and editions.  She is an editor of a recent volume of Social Text focused on “Economies of Dispossession.”  This lecture is drawn from her current book project, Dispossession by Administration. Melamed is the recipient of numerous awards, fellowships, and grants, including a Fulbright, a Woodrow Wilson Postdoctoral Fellowship, and grants from the American Studies Association, the Social Science Research Council, the Mellon Foundation and the Wisconsin Humanities Council.

This event is co-sponsored by the American Studies Certificate Program and the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics. It is free and open to the public.
