SUMMARY:Africa~Diaspora Forum: Peter Hulme
DESCRIPTION:Drums over Harlem: Signifying Africa\, 1919-1932 \nIn the 1920s in New York the jazz cabaret was seen as offering what the writer Eric Walrond called “Africa undraped”\, and its sound was the tom-tom.  This talk will explore the period’s fascination with that instrument and with what it might signify\, focusing on two texts entitled Tom-Tom\, both of which offer to associate contemporary Harlem with “Africa”\, in one or another of its manifestations.\nPeter Hulme is Emeritus Professor at the University of Essex\, where he taught for 40 years.  His books include Colonial Encounters: Europe and the Native Caribbean\, 1492 1797 (1986)\, Cuba’s Wild East: A Literary Geography of Oriente (2011)\, and The Dinner at Gonfarone’s: Salomón de la Selva’s Pan-American Project in Nueva York\, 1915-1919 (2019).

SUMMARY:African Diaspora Forum-Maya Trotz (U. of South Florida) and Kevin Rhiney (Rutgers U.)
DESCRIPTION:Caribbean in the Flux of Change – People\, Land\, Air & Sea \n  \nBattered States and ‘Resilient’ Futures? A Critical Reflection on the Caribbean post Irma-Maria \nKevon Rhiney\, Rutgers University \n  \nRoughly one month after hurricanes Irma and Maria battered the Caribbean nation of Dominica\, Roosevelt Skerrit\, the Dominican Prime Minister asserted\, “we have a unique opportunity to be an example to the world\, an example of how an entire nation rebounds from disaster and how an entire nation can be climate resilient for the future.” Skerrit’s message relays a common theme emerging throughout the Caribbean after the devastating 2017 hurricane season\, that saw two of the most powerful hurricanes in recorded history wreaking havoc across the region. Though Irma and Maria serve as a stark reminder of how vulnerable the Caribbean is to extreme climate events\, there seem to be a growing emphasis on the opportunities presented by the post-hurricane situation. Ideas around resilience and ‘building back better’ are increasingly being used to justify recovery efforts aimed at rethinking existing development paradigms. At the same time\, events that have unfolded since Irma and Maria have revealed just how much these ‘natural’ disasters intertwine with underlying issues of non/sovereignty and uneven development. In this talk\, I demonstrate how the current post-hurricane situation has become a highly contested and politicized post/colonial terrain\, and offer some initial thoughts on how we might best understand these recent developments. This includes a foregrounding of the historical legacies driving modern-day vulnerabilities across the region\, and a rethinking of ‘resilience’ as a precondition for securing sustainable Caribbean futures under a changing climate. \n  \n  \nCaribbean People Centered Resilient Futures   \nMaya Trotz\, University of South Florida \n  \nResilience\, Build Back Better\, Climate Adaptation – commonly used terms in the Caribbean region today for new climate financing mechanisms like the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Having a job that puts food on the table gets packaged as investments in workforce development with a particular emphasis on gender\, improved irrigation for agriculture\, value add nutritional crops\, and improved livelihoods. Restoring a coral reef devastated by an earthquake and/or hurricane becomes a coastal resilience project to increase biodiversity\, flood protection\, science literacy on climate change\, the number of women licensed as tour guides\, and improve livelihoods. As the region plans to raise the funds and spend billions of dollars on infrastructure for the provision of food\, water\, electricity\, transportation etc.\, designing the projects for that investment provides opportunities for meaningful community engagement\, including inter island and diaspora relations. Using projects that I have worked on in the Caribbean\, this talk discusses opportunities and challenges to build more community focused solutions and management practices for critical resources. These projects range from 1) Water Sector Resilience for Sustainability in Barbados\, a GCF funded project to the Caribbean Community Climate Change Center for the Barbados Water Authority\, 2) Reefs of Hope\, a $100 million dollar 100&Change proposal\, and 3) a sustainability challenge for high school students in 12 Caribbean countries\, the Sagicor Visionaries Challenge.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Looking Like a Language\, Sounding Like a Race by Jonathan Rosa
DESCRIPTION:How are Latinxs racialized through Language? Stanford professor Jonathan Rosa will be discussing his new book Looking Like a Language\, Sounding Like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in a predominantly Latinx Chicago public high school and its surrounding communities\, this presentation approaches Latinidad as a crucial site from which to understand the creation of racial\, linguistic\, and national borders\, as well as to reimagine worlds beyond these borders. Co-sponsored by NYU’s Anthropology Department. \nJonathan Rosa\, PhD\, is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics at Stanford. As a sociocultural and linguistic anthropologist\, Jonathan Rosa’s research theorizes the co-naturalization of language and race as a key feature of modern governance. Specifically\, he analyzes the interplay between youth socialization\, raciolinguistic formations\, and structural inequity in urban contexts.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities\, By Alain Bertaud
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nJoin us on Tuesday\, December 10 at 5:30pm for the launch of Alain Bertaud’s new book from MIT Press\, Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities. In it\, Bertaud argues that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world\, Bertaud links cities’ productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed. \nEvent Program:\nProfessor William Easterly\, Co-Director of NYU’s Development Research Institute\, will provide an opening commentary on the book. Bertaud will then sit down for a discussion of the book with Weiping Wu\, Professor of Urban Planning and Director of the M.S. in Urban Planning program at Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning\, and Preservation\, before fielding questions from the audience. Books will be available for sale and signature. \n\nAlain Bertaud is Senior Research Scholar at New York University’s Marron Institute of Urban Management. He has worked as Principal Urban Planner for the World Bank and as an independent consultant and resident urban planner in cities ranging from Bangkok to New York. \nWilliam Easterly is Professor of Economics at New York University and Co-director of the NYU Development Research Institute. His most recent book is entitled The Tyranny of Experts: Economists\, Dictators\, and the\nForgotten Rights of the Poor. He is a Research Associate of NBER and has served as Co-Editor of the Journal of Development Economics. \n \nWeiping Wu is Professor of Urban Planning at Columbia GSAPP and Director of the M.S. Urban Planning program. Trained in architecture and urban planning\, Prof. Wu has focused her research and teaching on understanding urban dynamics in developing countries in general and China in particular. \n  \nThis event is co-hosted by NYU’s Marron Institute of Urban Management\, NYU’s Development Research Institute\, and NYU’s Urban Planning Student Association.

SUMMARY:Latin America's 1968 - Marta Minuj´ín
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Latin America’s 1968 Colloquium series\, New York University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS)\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, The Hemisphiric Institute of Performance and Politics\, and The Institute of Fine Arts (IFA)\, are proud to present a conversation with internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist Marta Minujín and IFA’s Deputy Director Edward Sullivan. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Ticket holders receive priority seating. \nAbout the speakers: \nMarta Minujín is an internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist whose career has helped define the role of participation\, performance\, and media in contemporary visual art. Minujín created her first “ephemeral” works in the 1960s in Paris and New York\, where she and became an innovator of pop art\, happenings\, soft sculpture\, and early video. Her celebrated La Menesunda (1965) created a sequence of 16 multi-sensory “situations” or environments for spectators to traverse; these included a beauty parlor\, a couple in bed\, and a shower of a confetti in an octagonal mirror chamber. Her 1967 Minuphone created an interactive “psychedelic” telephone booth in which voice triggered sensory changes in light\, image\, and sound. In May 1968—at the height of the cultural and political ferment of global 1968—Minujín hosted a series of soirèes/happenings with luminaries of fashion\, art\, finance\, and politics at Manhattan’s Center for Inter-American Relations (now Americas Society); the documentation became the basis of an immersive film installation\, known as Minucode\, which advanced a subtle critique of the role of “cultural” diplomacy needed to carry out the US cold war in Latin America. While in New York she participated in activities at Andy Warhol’s Factory\, and in the 1980s\, created a performance in which she offered Warhol a corn on the cob as a way of paying off Argentina’s foreign debt. She is perhaps best known for the 1983 piece The Parthenon of Books\, a large-scale replica of a Greek parthenon built on Buenos Aires’s main avenue\, comprised of 30\,000 books banned by the military regime during Argentina’s “Dirty War\,” including works by Marx\, Freud\, and Foucault. Spectators were then invited to dismantle work. She has continued to create works that combine ephemeral materials with monumental scale\, including Tower of Babel (2011)\, Agora of Peace (2013)\, and Hopscotch Art (2014). She lives and works in Buenos Aires. \nEdward J. Sullivan is the Helen Gould Sheppard Professor in the History of Art and the Deputy Director of the Institute of Fine Arts New York University. He has developed extensive research and curated several shows on the arts and visual cultures of the Americas from a transnational perspective\, with a particular concentration in Mexico\, Cuba\, Brazil\, Argentina\, Puerto Rico\, and Uruguay. Edward is the author of From San Juan to Paris and Back: Francisco Oller and Caribbean Art in the Era of Impressionism\, published by Yale University Press in 2014\, and The Language of Objects in the Art of the Americas\, published also by Yale in 2007\, among many other books and catalogs. \nSullivan’s latest book is entitled “Making the Americas Modern. Hemispheric Art 1910-1960” published this past March. He is currently curating a major exhibition of the Brazilian garden architect and painter Roberto Burle-Marx that opens in June next year at the New York Botanical Garden. His next book project concerns the relationships between artists and choreographers in the US and Latin America in the mid twentieth century. \nAbout the series: \nLatin America’s 1968; Curated by Jill Lane & Dylon Robbins. \nIn Latin America\, the year 1968 marked a turning point in the social\, political\, and cultural transformations that had been unfolding in the wide wake of the Cuban Revolution of 1959. For Latin America\, as for the rest of the world\, the sixties were shaped by geopolitics of the Cold War\, and of anti-colonial struggles across the globe. Yet they are most remembered by those who lived them as a time when ordinary people felt\, like never before and perhaps never after\, that they could change the course of history: millions of youth in student movements\, advocates for indigenous rights\, workers\, campesinos\, educators\, intellectuals\, and artists\, long with guerillas and other armed insurgents\, were self-aware in world-historical projects of radical social\, political\, economic\, and cultural change. In these years\, the personal became the political\, politics became theatrical\, theatre became a weapon\, and the lines between self\, art\, and politics were forever redrawn. To mark the 50th anniversary of this momentous year\, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) offers a film and lecture series that will explore and celebrate its significance in the region. \nImage: Marta Minujin | by Martin Lucesole | Flickr

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”
