Is Harvard Killing Me? - Anthony David UNE Center for Global Humanities 2023-08-02 | In this lecture, historian Anthony David will discuss how we can overcome the crisis of the humanities by reflecting on the life of Svetlana Boym, the Russian-Jewish scholar who died of cancer in 2015.Drawing on his forthcoming biography of Boym titled The Daring Club, David will introduce listeners to Boym’s life in Leningrad in the 1970s, where her teachers at the Daring Club, an after-school writing program housed in an old Czarist palace, taught her to write, think, and act freely despite Soviet tyranny. David will follow Boym through her emigration to America in 1981 and into her academic stardom at Harvard. He will explain how it was only after she was diagnosed with cancer that Boym reflected on what she had abandoned and betrayed to achieve her success. “Is Harvard killing me?” she asked herself shortly after her first session of chemotherapy. Grappling with the ultimate meaning of her life during her six-month illness, she came to celebrate the Russian-Jewish culture, and its unlikely freedoms, she had known as a youth.After telling the story of Boym’s physical and intellectual journey, the lecture will conclude with a tribute to Boym that illuminates how her renewed passion for writing and the life of the mind can help us rethink the mission of the humanities.BIOGRAPHYAnthony David is an historian, teacher, and author of nine books, most recently Friendly Fire: How Israel Became Its Own Worst Enemy and Its Hope for the Future, which he wrote with Ami Ayalon, the former director of the Israeli Shin Bet (Steerforth, 2021). His next book is The Daring Club: The Many Lives of Svetlana Boym (Steerforth, 2024).
Social Media and Social Justice - Ellen Armour UNE Center for Global Humanities 2023-08-02 | We call social media the new public square. How is this new visually saturated media landscape affecting the struggles for social justice? What role is photography playing in it and on it, and thus in and on those struggles? We live (virtually) in social media “bubbles,” research tells us. What we see there tends to reinforce what we already believe, it seems, and what we already believe shapes what we see. And yet the #BlackLivesMatter movement (among others) demonstrates this new media landscape’s power to draw at least some of us together across lines that tend to divide us. Drawing on Seeing and Believing, Ellen Armour will analyze these challenges and opportunities, offering strategies drawn from religious ways of seeing for navigating them to advance social justice.BIOGRAPHYEllen T. Armour is professor and E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Chair of Feminist Theology at Vanderbilt Divinity School where she directs the Carpenter Program in Religion, Gender, and Sexuality. In addition to Seeing and Believing: Religion, Digital Visual Culture, and Social Justice (Columbia University Press, 2023), she is the author of Signs and Wonders: Theology after Modernity (Columbia University Press, 2016) and Deconstruction, Feminist Theology, and the Problem of Difference: Subverting the Race/Gender Divide (University of Chicago Press, 1999). She also co-edited Bodily Citations: Judith Butler and Religion (Columbia University Press, 2006).
