SUMMARY:The Cost of Free Land: Jews\, Lakota\, and an American Inheritance
DESCRIPTION:The second in the “Out of the Frame” series hosted by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity. Growing up\, Rebecca Clarren knew the major plot points of her tenacious immigrant family’s origins. Her great-great-grandparents\, the Sinykins\, and their six children fled antisemitism in Russia and arrived in the United States at the turn of the 20th century\, ultimately settling on a 160-acre homestead in South Dakota. The Sinykins became an American immigrant success story. What no one mentioned was that their land\, the foundation for much of their wealth\, had once been reserved for the seven bands of the Lakota. Taken by the United States government\, it was splintered and handed for free to white settlers. Wayne L. Ducheneaux II\, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and the Executive Director of the Native Governance Center\, will discuss these intertwined histories with award-winning journalist Rebecca Clarren; together they will explore the personal and national consequences of this legacy of violence and dispossession. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Rain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Founder of the field of Critical Romani Studies Ethel Brooks will chat with award-winning author Ari Joskowicz about his new book\, Rain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust. Jews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust\, yet their murder has not been recognized equally. The Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts\, scholars\, educators\, curators\, and politicians in the postwar years\, while the genocide of Europe’s Roma and Sinti remained out of the frame. Prof. Ethel Brooks\, Chair of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University\, and Prof Ari Joskowicz\, Chair of the Department of Jewish Studies\, Vanderbilt University\, will discuss Joskowicz’s exploration of the simultaneous suffering of Roma and Jews during the Holocaust\, as well as the unequal yet necessary entanglement of their quests for historical justice and self-representation. Rain of Ash was awarded the 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize.\n\n \n\nChair: Prof. Raz Segal\n\n \n\nREGISTRATION LINK:\n\n \n\nhttps://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AJ0XE-0ZTPeoK5zUoPG5Mg\n \n\nThis event is hosted by The Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York\n\nIn association with:\nCenter for Jewish Studies at The Graduate Center—City University of New York\n\nCUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York\n\n \n\nThe Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme\, Education Outreach Section\, Outreach Division\, Department of Global Communications\, United Nations\n\n \n\nThe William T.

SUMMARY:Book talk- Night on Earth: International Humanitarianism in the Near East
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 20 \n6:00 pm\, Skylight Room \nThe Graduate Center\, City University of New York \n365 Fifth Avenue \nNew York\, NY 10016 \n  \nA book talk with author Davide Rodogno\, Geneva Graduate Institute \nin conversation with Rajan Menon. City College/CUNY and Joshua Craze\, writer. \n  \nCo-presented by the European Union Studies Center\, The Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies and Centro Primo Levi. \n  \nThis event is presented in person only. RSVP to eusc@gc.cuny.edu \n  \n“Western humanitarians pretended to act upon a kind of tabula rasa\, when in fact there was no tabula rasa there\, and there was a very long Ottoman humanitarian tradition.” \n  \nConstructed after Jim Jarmusch’s film and driven by profound empathy\, Davide Rodogno’s Night on Earth is a broad-ranging account of international humanitarian programs in Central and Eastern Europe\, the Balkans and the Near East from 1918 to 1930. The author shows that international ‘relief’ and ‘development’ were intertwined long before the birth of the United Nations with humanitarians operating in a region devastated by war and famine and in which state sovereignty was deficient. Influenced by colonial motivations and ideologies\, these humanitarians attempted to reshape entire communities and nations through reconstruction and rehabilitation programs. The book draws on the activities of a wide range of secular and religious organizations and philanthropic foundations in the US and Europe including the American Relief Administration\, the American Red Cross\, the Quakers\, Save the Children\, the Near East Relief\, the American Women’s Hospitals\, the League of Nations\, and the International Committee of the Red Cross. \n  \nRodogno applies the metaphor of relationship between taxi drivers and passengers\, to the givers and recipients of humanitarian aid. Inevitably\, miscommunication\, tensions and distortions take place\, especially in the Ottoman context which was linguistically\, culturally and politically removed from the mentality of the providers of relief. Both geographies and chronologies become central to these equivocations and\, in some ways\, carry on their impact well beyond that period. \n  \nThis geographical area is rich in terms of the reflection on sovereignty. The history of the mandates\, the independence of Turkey\, the processes of Sovietization or the role of the Refugee Settlement Commission all happened in Ottoman Lands. In scholarly research\, the Ottoman Lands are studied separately but in fact – as in the mental imaginaire of the Western humanitarians described in the book – these lands were considered to be one. Many of these actors found themselves in places spanning from Georgia to what would soon become the Soviet Republic of Armenia or Greece\, or Lebanon and Palestine\, because these institutions had a very broad reach parallel to that of warfare. \n  \nRodogno also repositions chronological perspectives. For instance\, the recent years’ academic focus on 1918 is meaningful for Western Europe as the end of World War I. However\, for these areas\, 1918 is not an end. If anything\, it is the beginning or the continuation of many wars. Humanitarians operating in Central and Western Europe moved down to the Balkans and to other former Ottoman Lands after 1918 precisely because they could deploy resources and extend their raison d’être to where humanitarian aid was needed by civilian populations. By delving into a specific chapter of humanitarian history\, Night on Earth offers a fruitful sounding board to re-evaluate the questions and problems we face today in this field. \n  \nDavide Rodogno is a Professor of International History and Politics and the Head of the Interdisciplinary Master Programs at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies\, the Director of the Certificate in Advanced Studies in Advocacy in International Affairs at the Geneva Graduate Institute. He specializes in researching international organizations and associations\, philanthropic foundations\, and transnational networks and movements since the 19th century. His research interests include the history of human rights\, of minorities\, of crimes against humanity and International Law\, the concept and practice of international development programs\, state-building and international administration since creation of the League of Nations. \n  \nJoshua Craze has written on art\, war\, and literature. His works have appeared in n+1\, Cabinet\, and the Guardian. His Grammar of Redaction\, which examined the strange linguistic categories of the redacted documents of the war on terror\, was exhibited at the New Museum\, New York\, and he has written catalogue essays for Jenny Holzer’s redaction paintings. He has had residencies at Dar al-Ma’mûn\, Marrakech\, where he was a UNESCO artist laureate in creative writing; Art OMI\, New York; and\, most recently\, at the Embassy of Foreign Artists\, in Geneva\, where he began research for a new project in the archives of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. \n  \nRajan Menon is director of the Grand Strategy program at Defense Priorities and the Anne and Bernard Spitzer Chair Emeritus in International Relations at the Powell School\, City College of New York/City University of New York. He is also a Senior Research Scholar at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies\, Columbia University and a Non-Resident Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Menon has been a fellow at the Carnegie Council on Ethics in International Affairs and the New America Foundation\, academic fellow at the Carnegie Corporation\, research scholar at the Kennan Institute\, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (the Wilson Center)\, and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. His books include Soviet Power and the Third World (Yale University Press\, 1986)\, The End of Alliances (Oxford University Press\, 2007)\, Conflict in Ukraine: The Unwinding of the Post-Cold War Order\, coauthored with Eugene Rumer (MIT Press\, 2015)\, and The Conceit of Humanitarian Intervention (Oxford University Press\, 2016).

SUMMARY:“The Bedouin Village of Rah'ma: Toward Recognition and Beyond”
DESCRIPTION:The Bedouin of the Negev desert have long sought legal recognition from the State of Israel. Without legal status\, they are denied their basic rights as Israeli citizens: access to public health services\, water\, electricity\, public transportation\, is inadequate or unavailable. Rah’ma is one of the few unrecognized villages that has been promised recognition\, yet that promise remains unfulfilled. Still: a school has been approved and built\, public utilities have improved\, and village residents see some hope. What makes Rah’ma different from other Bedouin villages in the Negev? What paved the way to the promise of recognition? What changes will recognition bring? And can Rah’ma be a model for Israeli-Bedouin relations going forward? Please join for a discussion between Sliman Elfregat\, Rah’ma school principal; Debbie Golan\, co-founder and president of Atid Bamidbar; and Dvir Warshavsky\, Ministry of Education project director. Chair and moderator: Eli Karetny\, deputy director of the Ralph Bunche Institute. \nThis event is hosted in association with: \nThe Center for Jewish Studies\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York \nCUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences\, The Graduate Center–CUNY \nThe School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Stockton University \nThe Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies\, New York University \n  \nREGISTER HERE https://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YM_0xJ14SGGSZ-0ISpTpzw

SUMMARY:“Israel/Palestine: What the Archives Reveal and Conceal”
DESCRIPTION:The story of the past calls for extensive use of archival documents. But\, adducing risk to state security\, Israeli archives\, especially the state archives\, block access to key collections that pertain to the state’s history in general and the Palestinian Nakba and ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular. Palestinian researchers who seek to tell the story of the Palestinian past using Palestinian personal papers and archival materials face additional\, unofficial\, obstacles. Areej Sabbagh-Khoury\, professor of sociology at the Hebrew University and a 2022 Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar\, and Yaacov Lozowick\, a historian who served as Israel’s chief archivist from 2011-2018\, will discuss what Israeli archives reveal and conceal. Please join for a challenging conversation that will range from the role of archives in the power dynamics of the conflict to the stories still to be told if access to the archives were unfettered. Chair and moderator: Hebrew University professor Amos Goldberg\, head of the Avraham Harman Research Institute for Contemporary Jewry. \nThis event is hosted in association with: \nThe Center for Jewish Studies\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York \nCUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences\, The Graduate Center–CUNY \nThe School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Stockton University \nThe Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies\, New York University \n  \nREGISTER HERE

Materialists have tended to focus more on the direct contribution of the social circumstances in which the subject finds herself (e.g. her relationship to the means of production and the means of subsistence). In this talk I try out one strategy for reconciling the former focus with the latter\, one rooted in the political ideal of self-determination\, which I associate with the latter group of thought. I’ll attempt to describe subjective security as a resource that allows a person to extend herself across time\, institutions\, and persons in ways that are vital for securing her freedom\, and sketch some political implications of this view. \nSpeaker Bio \nOlúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University. His work focuses on Africana and social/political philosophy and emphasizes themes and figures from anti-capitalist\, anti-colonial\, and Black radical traditions of thought and practice.

SUMMARY:Limitarianism from a Global Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Limitarianism from a Global PerspectiveIngrid Robeyns (Utrecht University)Tuesday\, November 15\, 6:30 p.m. (ET)GC Room 9205 And online via Zoom\nWe are excited to welcome philosopher Ingrid Robeyns as our third colloquium speaker of Fall 2022. The talk will be followed by a Q&A with the speaker.This is an in-person event that will allow for virtual participation via Zoom. The in-person talk will be followed by a reception with wine and snacks.If you plan to attend virtually\, please register in advance for this meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining.Members of the public who wish to attend should email us. They may enter the GC if they show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test taken within 7 days prior to the visit. \n\n\n\nAbstract\nLimitarianism is the view that there should be an upper limit to how many resources a person can appropriate; in most cases\, the focus is on economic resources\, and the claim is that there should be a limit to how rich a person can be. Limitarianism is thus a view in the wider family of egalitarian proposals\, but urges us to focus explicitly on the harms and bads done by extreme wealth concentration.However\, most of the reasons given for limitarianism are focusing on the effects among a political community of voters. Similarly\, most of the institutional proposals that have been put forward on how one could move in the direction of a limitarian world focus on the  possibilities given by the fiscal system. In other words\, in the existing literature there is a significant focus at what this means for political actions within a country. In this talk\, I ask what the limitarian view needs when considered from a global perspective. Does limitarianism become implausible if we consider the realities of an interconnected world? Or does it require us to make modifications or put additional requirements to the institutional proposals to advance limitarianism? \nSpeaker Bio \nIngrid Robeyns holds the chair in ethics of institutions at Utrecht University. She works mainly in normative political philosophy\, but also engages in interdisciplinary research. Some of the topics on which she published are the capability approach\, concepts of wellbeing\, gender inequality\, methods in normative political philosophy\, climate justice\, as well as specific institutional proposals\, such as universal basic income or inheritance taxation. Her most recent work is on limitarianism\, on which she is writing a book aimed at a broader audience (in North America\, forthcoming with Astra Publishing House).
