SUMMARY:On Display: Instagram\, The Self and The City
DESCRIPTION:Two billion people around the world use Instagram\, but so far social scientists have done little research on the platform. Despite Instagram’s reputation for shallowness\, the ongoing self-presentation it demands confronts users with profound dilemmas. Who are we? What do we want to show of ourselves? What do we aspire to be? \nOn Display is a book about how people remake their worlds through social media. John D. Boy and Justus Uitermark provide an encompassing account of how a platform that is unfailingly polished and ruthlessly judgmental shapes us and our environments. They examine how personalities\, relations\, social movements\, urban subcultures\, and city streets change as they are represented on Instagram. Interviews and ethnographic vignettes render an intimate account of the desires and anxieties that animate the platform. Just as importantly\, Boy and Uitermark reveal how Instagram is implicated in social inequalities. \nWhile previous accounts have argued that social media promote polarization\, On Display shows that this is not the case for Instagram where users belong to large and diverse networks\, compelling them to take many\, often contradictory expectations into account. This means users shy away from producing statements or images that may cause offense as a way to preserve their public image and their social connections. Drawing on sociological theory\, long-term qualitative inquiry in Amsterdam\, and computational analyses\, Boy and Uitermark argue that grasping the power of Instagram—and other social media platforms—requires seeing them not as digital networks of communication and sharing\, but as a stage for the expression and affirmation of social status. \nMy bio: John D. Boy is a tenured assistant professor of sociology at Leiden University in the Netherlands\, where he coordinates the d12n Research Cluster. His research employs a wide range of research methods\, including participant observation\, computational techniques\, and interviews\, and contributes to interdisciplinary social-scientific literature on the interface between digital technologies and social life spanning sociology\, anthropology\, urban studies\, and media studies. He is the co-author\, with Justus Uitermark\, on On Display: Instagram\, the Self\, and the City (OUP\, 2024). After several years of studying a commercial platform\, he recently began research on how critical technologists imagine the future of digital infrastructure. He is affiliated with Leiden University’s Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology as well as the Center for BOLD Cities at the Leiden–Delft–Erasmus (LDE) interuniversity consortium. Prior to joining Leiden University\, John was a postdoctoral researcher in sociology at the University of Amsterdam\, and he received his PhD in sociology (with a certificate in women’s studies) from the City University of New York in 2015.

SUMMARY:Within and against: tech workers\, migration and labor alliances in Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Tech companies have seen a rise of labor disputes in the last decade. The struggles of gig workers (delivery\, ride-hailing) and warehouse workers have been most visible in this regard. However\, labor struggles have also been taken up by white collar workers in tech. Conflicts on payment\, sexual harassment and corporate responsibility have led to mobilizations and unionization of office workers in tech companies. White-collar organizers in tech have also called for cross-class alliances in the industry\, although the feasibility of such alliances has remained unclear. \nValentin Niebler describes how tech worker organizing has unfolded in Berlin in the last years. It also discusses to what extent cross-status organizing has become viable in this case. The research is based on an ethnography of a grassroots collective of organized tech workers\, as well as interviews with tech workers\, gig workers and union organizers in the city. I argue that tech worker organizing in Berlin revolves around three interrelated conflict lines: (1) the challenges of recent arrival and migration\, (2) the difficulties of utilizing German labor law in the startup context\, and (3) frustration with German trade unions. These conflict lines\, he argues\, are also shared by many low-paid gig workers in the city and have made cooperation between tech workers and gig workers possible. \nValentin Niebler is a visiting scholar in the Sociology Program\, the Graduate Center\, CUNY\, and a doctoral candidate at the Institute for European Ethnology and the Berlin Institute for Migration Studies at Humboldt University in Berlin. His research is focused on conflicts and regulation in the tech industry. \nThis talk is moderated by John Torpey.  Sharon Zukin will serve as discussant. \nPlease RSVP for in person below or here for Zoom. \nREGISTER HERE VIA ZOOM

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:Beyond the Settler State: Anticolonial Pasts and Futures in Palestine/Israel
DESCRIPTION:Born in the Bronx or Berlin\, Jews of a certain age remember the justificatory slogan for the establishment of Israel\, “A land without a people for a people without a land.” Persuasive as this may have been at the time\, it spoke and continues to speak today to a settler colonial policy of violent erasure. Erasure that the November 2022 Israeli election and subsequent ministerial choices promise to intensify. Looking forward\, what possible futures beyond the settler state might there be? Please join sociocultural anthropologist and Feminist Studies scholar Sarah Ihmoud (College of the Holy Cross) and cultural historian Alon Confino (University of Massachusetts\, Amherst) as they discuss their work on Palestine/Israel\, considering possible paths toward anticolonial futures\, particularly in light of anticolonial pasts in the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Chair and moderator: Raz Segal\, Associate Professor and Director of the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Stockton University. \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_u8Z9T44TTzCBmXHq4JQMdQ

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). His next book\, Russia After Putin\, co-authored with Eugene B. Rumer\, is under contract to Oxford University Press. \n  \nIn addition to publications in numerous academic journals\, Menon has written for The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Foreign Affairs\, Financial Times\, Los Angeles Times\, The Boston Globe\, The Guardian\, Chicago Tribune\, Boston Review\, Foreign Policy\, and The National Interest.

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
