SUMMARY:Africa Diaspora Forum: Keisha-Khan Perry from Brown University
DESCRIPTION:Keisha-Khan Perry from Brown University will be joining the Center of the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora (CSAAD) to present her research.\n  \nDr. Perry’s talk will focus on the political work of poor black women in struggles for land and housing rights in cities throughout the Americas\, this presentation examines the gendered racial logic of spatial dispossession. I illustrate how these women confront the violence of urban redevelopment that includes mass evictions\, housing demolitions\, and militarized policing. I emphasize that black women are key political protagonists\, mobilizing at the grassroots and exploding the conversation on racial and gender violence from North America to the Southern Cone. Moreover\, they understand black dispossession (loss of land/territorial rights\, access to adequate housing\, gentrification) to be a form of anti-black violence that shapes their gendered experiences and political formation in unique ways. This presentation represents my ongoing call for black feminist scholars to return our analyses to the material issues that are at the heart of women-led grassroots struggles and that informed black feminist thought in the first place. \n  \nKeisha-Khan Y. Perry is currently an Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University where she specializes in race\, gender and politics in the Americas\, urban geography and questions of citizenship\, intellectual history and disciplinary formation\, and the interrelationship between scholarship\, pedagogy and political engagement. Her first book\, Black Women against the Land Grab: The Fight for Racial Justice in Brazil (fall 2013\, Minnesota Press)\, is an ethnographic study of black women’s activism in Brazilian cities. She currently has three book projects under way: 1) Evictions and Convictions: The Gendered Racial Logic of Black Dispossession in New York City; 2) The Historical Paradox of Citizenship: Black Land Ownership and Loss in the Americas; and 3) Anthropology for Liberation: Research\, Writing and Teaching for Social Justice.

SUMMARY:THE THREE PATRIARCHS OF EMBATTLED LOVE: CASTE\, RELIGION AND STATE
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Meena Kandasamy\nIn this talk\, Meena Kandasamy\, Gallatin’s Global Faculty-in-Residence and author of The Gypsy Goddess (Harper\, 2014)\, discusses her site-responsive chronicle of the Dharmapuri atrocity which occurred in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. On one day in October 2012\, in response to the love affair between a caste-Hindu Vanniyar woman and a Dalit man\, the homes of 300 Dalit people were burned. Kandasamy reflects on the event\, explores how one bears witness to violence and the social realities of India’s caste-embattled terrain\, and considers what it means to be a politically engaged writer who seeks to unravel the specifics of caste violence in contemporary Tamil history. \nThis event is co-sponsored by SouthAsiaNYU.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: SOUNDING ISLAM: VOICE\, MEDIA AND SONIC ATMOSPHERE IN AN INDIAN OCEAN W/ PATRICK EISENLOHR
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk with Patrick Eisenlohr\, University of Göttingen and Faye Ginsberg David B. Kriser Professor\, NYU \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSounding Islam provides a provocative account of the sonic dimensions of religion\, combining perspectives from the anthropology of media and sound studies\, as well as drawing on neo-phenomenological approaches to atmospheres. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing long-term ethnographic research on devotional Islam in Mauritius\, Patrick Eisenlohr explores how the voice\, as a site of divine manifestation\, becomes refracted in media practices that have become integral parts of religious traditions. At the core of Eisenlohr’s concern is the interplay of voice\, media\, affect\, and listeners’ religious experiences. Sounding Islam sheds new light on a key dimension of religion\, the sonic incitement of sensations that are often difficult to translate into language. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick Eisenlohr is Professor of Anthropology\, Chair of Society and Culture in Modern India at the University of Göttingen. He obtained a PhD from the University of Chicago and previously held positions at Washington University in St. Louis\, New York University\, and Utrecht University. He is the author of Little India:  Diaspora\, Time and Ethnolinguistic Belonging in Hindu Mauritius. (University of California Press\, 2006)\, and Sounding Islam: Voice\, Media\, and Sonic Atmospheres in an Indian Ocean World (University of California Press\, 2018). He has conducted research on transnational Hindu and Muslim networks in the Indian Ocean region\, particularly between Mauritius and India\, the relationships between religion\, language\, and media\, the sonic dimensions of religion\, the links between media practices and citizenship\, as well as language and diaspora. \n  \nDiscussant: \nFaye Ginsberg David B. Kriser Professor\, NYU\,  Social anthropology; ethnographic film; ethnography of media; indigenous media; social movements in the United States; Disability. \n  \nWe have discounted copies ($20) of  Sounding Islam: Voice\, Media and Sonic Atmosphere in an Indian Ocean that can be purchased directly from James Ryan\, please email him at James.Ryan@nyu.edu or make sure to purchase it after the event!

SUMMARY:Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights Actors
DESCRIPTION:César Rodríguez-Garavito\, co-editor of Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights\, will speak on the new ideas and innovations that are emerging in response to populist regimes’ crackdown on civil society. \nWritten by scholars and advocates in challenging political settings from around the world\, this book offers ideas and inspiration to their peers in the human rights community who are grappling with and resisting the erosion of democracy and rights. \nThis collection takes two steps towards clearing the path for this civil society transformation. First\, it clarifies the specific challenges to human rights raised by contemporary populist regimes and movements. What is the populist playbook against human rights? Second\, it contributes to documenting and learning from a wealth of initiatives by human rights actors. What innovations are human rights actors introducing into their strategies and narratives to counter those of populist regimes? In short\, what is the human rights playbook against populism? \nFrom meticulous documentation of abuses in Turkey to more grassroots forms of social networking in Hungary\, from peace caravans in India to finding new ways of being useful under 21st century dictatorships in Venezuela\, like war correspondents reporting from the trenches\, our authors step forward to share their own continuing struggles to help their communities. \nBased on evidence from populist governments in India\, Venezuela\, Hungary\, Turkey\, Russia\, the United States\, and Ecuador-as well as crackdowns against civil society in South Africa\, Egypt and other countries-this volume provides hope\, solidarity\, and reinvigoration for the human rights movement.

SUMMARY:Skirball Talks: Angela Davis “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:What are the different tools for combating racism today\, after Obama’s presidency and the backlash of the Trump regime? What do the tools of struggle and emancipation look like\, and do aesthetics play a role? Please join us as activist\, scholar and writer Angela Davis discusses in the “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” lecture series.\n\nThrough her activism and scholarship over many decades\, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic\, racial\, and gender justice. Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University\, Mills College\, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA\, Vassar\, Syracuse University the Claremont Colleges\, and Stanford University. Most recently she spent fifteen years at the University of California Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness – an interdisciplinary PhD program – and of Feminist Studies. Angela Davis is the author of ten books and has lectured throughout the United States as well as in Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, Australia\, and South America. In recent years a persistent theme of her work has been the range of social problems associated with incarceration and the generalized criminalization of those communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination. She draws upon her own experiences in the early seventies as a person who spent eighteen months in jail and on trial\, after being placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List.” She also has conducted extensive research on numerous issues related to race\, gender and imprisonment. Her recent books include Abolition Democracy and Are Prisons Obsolete? about the abolition of the prison industrial complex\, a new edition of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\, and a collection of essays entitled The Meaning of Freedom. Her most recent book of essays\, called Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson\, Palestine\, and the Foundations of a Movement\, was published in February 2016. Angela Davis is a founding member of Critical Resistance\, a national organization dedicated to the dismantling of the prison industrial complex. Internationally\, she is affiliated with Sisters Inside\, an abolitionist organization based in Queensland\, Australia that works in solidarity with women in prison. Like many educators\, Professor Davis is especially concerned with the general tendency to devote more resources and attention to the prison system than to educational institutions. Having helped to popularize the notion of a “prison industrial complex\,” she now urges her audiences to think seriously about the future possibility of a world without prisons and to help forge a 21st century abolitionist movement.

SUMMARY:ALUFA RUFINO\, A MAN OF FAITH AND SORCERY ON THE PERIPHERY OF ISLAM
DESCRIPTION:CLACS and the History Department at NYU will be hosting a presentation by Brazilian historian João José Reis titled “Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam.” \nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems. \n  \nAbout the speaker: \n  \nJoão José Reis received his PhD in History from the University of Minnesota and is currently a Professor of History at the Universidade Federal de Bahia (UFBA) in Brazil. He is the author of Slave Rebellion in Brazil: The Muslim Uprising of 1835 in Bahia and Death is a Festival: Funeral Rites and Popular Rebellion in Nineteenth-Century Brazil\, which earned the 1996 Clarence H. Haring Prize from the American Historical Association and the 1992 Jabuti Prize for nonfiction from the Brazilian Book Council. From 1996 to 2004\, he served as editor for the Afro-Ásia journal published by UFBA’s Centro de Estudos Afro-Orientais. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of London and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University\, as well as a Visiting Professor at the University of London\, Princeton University\, University of Michigan and Brandeis University. In 2004\, he was awarded the Comenda da Ordem Nacional do Mérito Científico by the Brazilian Government. While at Harvard during the spring semester\, he taught in the Department of History and presented several public lectures including Divining Slavery and Other Diseases: An African Priest in Nineteenth Century Brazil and Social Mobility among Slaves in Bahia\, Brazil: The Case of Manoel Ricardo. \n

SUMMARY:Roundtable conversation moderated by Pamela Newkirk\, with Paula Giddings\, Shola Lynch\,  Louise Greaves\, sculptor Richard Hunt\, and Michelle Duster\, great granddaughter of Ida B. Wells
DESCRIPTION:Though virtually forgotten today\, Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a household name in Black America during much of her lifetime (1863-1931) and was considered the equal of her well-known African American contemporaries such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice (1989\, 55 min) by filmmaker William Greaves retells the dramatic life and turbulent times of the pioneering African American journalist\, activist\, suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the post-Reconstruction period. Wells’ great-granddaughter Michelle Duster is working with the Ida B. Wells Commemorative Art Committee to memorialize Wells in bronze. The monumental artwork will be located at 37th and Langley in Bronzeville\, the Chicago neighborhood where she once lived\, worked\, and raised her family. The central sculpture will be created by sculptor Richard Hunt.

SUMMARY:Economics and Culture  2018 Annual Conference by NYU Development Research Institute\, NYU Africa House\, and the C.V. Starr Center for Applied Economics at NYU
DESCRIPTION:  \nNew York University\nKimmel Center\, Rosenthal Pavilion (10th Floor)\n60 Washington Square South\nNew York\, NY 10012 \nOverview:\nThere has been increasing interest over the last decade in understanding the role of culture in shaping development outcomes. The push has come from many directions: from studying economic history\, from the institutions and growth literature\, from political economy\, and more recently from a literature that has explicitly tried to measure dimensions of culture and their evolution and their impact on economic interactions and on the process of development. Culture\, defined loosely as shared ideas\, customs\, and social behavior\, is from the perspective of economics a deeply endogenous variable\, in other words\, something that is determined through a history of economic\, social\, and political interaction. At the same time\, once a culture forms\, it acquires its own valence\, shaping the way individuals interact\, transact\, and aggregate into a process of growth. \nConference Program: \nMCs: Rajeev Dehejia\, (New York University)\, and Yaw Nyarko\, (New York University) \n8:00am–9:00am Registration\, coffee\, and pastries \n9:00am–9:05am DRI welcome remarks by Rajeev Dehejia\, (New York University) \n9:05am-9:10am Introductory remarks by Yanoula Athanassakis\, Associate Vice Provost\, Academic Affairs and Special Projects; Director\, Environmental Humanities Initiative\, (New York University) \n9:10am–9:50am Nathan Nunn\, (Harvard University). “The Importance of Culture and Context for Development Policy“ \n9:50am–10:30am Enrico Spolaore\, (Tufts University). “Modern Fertility” \n10:30am–10:45am Break with coffee and pastries \n10:45am–11:25am William Easterly\, (New York University). “Does Ethnicity Predict Culture?“ \n11:25am–12:05pm Raquel Fernandez\, (New York University). “Cultural Change” \n12:05pm–12:45pm Alberto Bisin\, (New York University). “The Joint Dynamics of Culture and Institutions“ \n12:45pm–1:45pm Lunch for audience and speakers \n1:45pm–2:25pm Gerard Roland\, (University of California\, Berkeley). “The Deep Historical Roots of Modern Culture”

SUMMARY:Dr. Tejumola Olaniyan "Cartooning the Rwandan Genocide: Propaganda\, Pleasure\, Evil\, Interest." 
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nDr. Tejumola Olaniyan will present his paper\, “Cartooning the Rwandan Genocide: Propaganda\, Pleasure\, Evil\, Interest.” At this forum\, This paper asks: what is the role of mass propaganda in the commission of mass-scale evil such as genocide? If the latter is impossible without the former\, and pleasure and the pleasurable are at the heart of every successful propaganda\, does it mean that pleasure and evil have a relationship? What is the name of that relationship? And\, yes\, what if political cartoons\, the typically radical form with its caustic humor\, are at the heart of the propaganda? What can resistant cartoonists do?\n \nDr. Tejumola Olaniyan is the Louise Durham Mead Professor of English\, African\, and African Diaspora cultural studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His publications include Scars of Conquest/Masks of Resistance: The Invention of Cultural Identities in African\, African American and Caribbean Drama (Oxford UP\, 1995)\, and Arrest the Music! Fela and His Rebel Art and Politics (Indiana UP\, 2004). He is also editor or co-editor of Taking African Cartoons Seriously (MSU Press\, 2018); State and Culture in Postcolonial Africa: Enchantings (Indiana UP\, 2017); Audible Empire: Music\, Global Politics\, Critique (Duke UP\, 2016); African Literature: An Anthology of Criticism and Theory (Blackwell\, 2010); and African Drama and Performance (Indiana UP\, 2004). He runs the web encyclopedia\, africacartoons.com.\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by NYU’s Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora (CSAAD) and the Department of History.

SUMMARY:CIT.I.ZEN.SHIP: REFLECTIONS ON RIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:October 4\, 2018 – January 18\, 2019\nDepartment of Photography & Imaging Galleries\nNYU Tisch School of the Arts\n721 Broadway Lobby & 8th floor\n\nLorie Novak and Deborah Willis\, Ph.D.\, curators\nRiana Gideon\, assistant curator\n  \nTo accept one’s past — one’s history is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.  –James Baldwin\, The Fire Next Time \n  \nThe Department of Photography & Imaging at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in collaboration with For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative presents cit.i.zen.ship: reflections on rights\, an exhibition featuring photographs\, works on paper\, writings\, and video that reflect on human rights and notions of citizenship. The theme of the exhibition reminds us that our actions today will affect the future\, just as the actions of courageous individuals during the Civil Rights Movement changed the world. Conceptually and characteristically\, each of the artists uses different symbolic references to visually represent definable issues surrounding civil rights\, resistance\, immigration\, race\, class\, gentrification\, gender equality\, LGBTQ+ rights\, prison reform\, freedom of speech\, environmental issues\, and more. They use documentation\, process\, history\, and personal experience to engage the politics of this nation and pave the way for future narratives. \nThis exhibition is part of For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative\, a non-partisan\, nationwide campaign to use art as a means of inspiring civic participation in advance of the 2018 midterm elections. For Freedoms was founded by artists in 2016 as a platform for civic engagement\, discourse\, and direct action in the United States. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 paintings of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear—For Freedoms uses art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values\, and to clarify that citizenship in American society is dependent on participation\, not ideology. \nThe artwork included in this exhibition shares For Freedoms’ conviction that people shape the cultural systems that shape their lives—from politics to art\, from advertising to civic life. We believe that citizenship is defined by the creative use of one’s voice\, one’s body\, one’s mind\, and\, ultimately\, one’s vote. The 50 State Initiative is the largest creative collaboration in the history of this country\, and we want everyone to get involved. For Freedoms’ 200+ institutional partners are bringing together artists and community leaders across the country through exhibitions\, town hall meetings\, and public billboard projects. These collective activities inject creativity\, critical thinking\, and an uplifted multiplicity of voices into our public conversation. Together\, we can blur the line between artistic and political discourse to create an open and nuanced national dialogue in a partisan climate. \nArtists\nJack Adam • Aaron Adams • Gregory Michael Alders • Bridgette Auger/Itab Azzam • Perry Bard/Richard Sullivan • Laylah Amatullah Barrayn • Alexandra Bell • Cydney Blitzer • Terry E.

Students explore photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression. Situated within New York University\, the program offers students both the intensive focus of an arts curriculum and a serious and broad grounding in the liberal arts. \n\n\nFor Freedoms is a platform for greater participation in the arts and in civil society\, producing exhibitions\, installations\, public programs\, and billboard campaigns to advocate for inclusive civic participation. Inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear— For Freedoms Federation uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century. Founded by Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman\, For Freedoms Federation encourages new forms of critical discourse. The mission is to use art as a vehicle to build greater participation in American Democracy.

SUMMARY:Save the Date – Celebration of Manthia Diawara
DESCRIPTION:Join us the evening of September 19th as we honor and say thank you to Manthia Diawara for his years of dedicated service and vision for the Institute of African American Affairs. The evening will begin with a screening of his latest film An Opera Of the World\, the centerpiece of which is a staging of Wasis Diop’s Bintu Were\, A Sahel Opera filmed on location in Bamako\, Mali in 2007. The opera is a pioneering work telling the story of migration from West Africa to Europe by combining traditional Malian music with the structure of the Western operatic art form.
