The Dartmouth Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life is honoring the author and civil rights activist's legacy with eminent scholars and writers, students, staff, and alumni.
The Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life kicked off a celebration of renowned writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin on Aug. 2, which would have been his 100th birthday.
One of the most celebrated and iconic writers of the 20th century, the African-American author—who died in 1987—is known for his eloquent, passionate prose on race in America.
For 100 Days of Baldwin, the institute will feature short videos on Instagram this summer and fall where fans of Baldwin read from one of his works.
"The short video pieces are part of a layered conversation concerning the timelessness and reach of Baldwin's literary offerings, and we hope to showcase his expansive, continued appeal," says Kimberly Juanita Brown, Institute Director and an associate professor in the Department of English and Creative Writing.
Award-winning filmmaker Iyabo Kwayana, an assistant professor in the Department of Film and Media Studies, created a trailer for the celebration, which will culminate with a panel discussion about Baldwin's legacy on Nov. 2 at Dartmouth.
"It's a great way for audiences beyond Dartmouth to know about the Institute and our programs and initiatives, while also celebrating the life of this writer whose work is central to Black studies research," Brown says.
Founded in 2023, the Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life is a research center rooted in the study of the Black diaspora. IBICL illuminates and preserves the centrality of the transnational Black experience for the Dartmouth community and beyond.
The video features lighting and sound by R. Michael Murray and Signe Taylor, narration by Vievee Francis, and recitations by Anthony Fosu '24, Lucinda Hall, Jenee Potts, and Jorge Cuellar.Studying Sustainability in the ArcticDartmouth2024-07-30 | Ten undergraduates traveled to the northern coast of Iceland in June under a pilot "Arctic Sustainability Immersion" program organized by the Institute of Arctic Studies and the Sustainability Office.

The topics will include the dynamics of surveillance and safety, the protection of free speech in a time of widespread of misinformation, and the dangers—as well as the artistic possibilities—of image manipulation and creation.

When Polly Chesnokova ’24 was a first-year student and new to Dartmouth, they reached out to the Media Production Group to inquire about an internship.
What followed was a four-year collaboration that taught Chesnokova about the art of film and gave MPG, which is part of the Office of Communications, a talented student to work with.
Chesnokova, who is from Ukraine, went on to share in the Sudler Prize in the Arts and also found a “strong connection” between their cultural past and the creation of Ukrainian films.
“That’s where I find my purpose,” says Chesnokova, who made a short film related to the Holodomor, the Soviet-led starvation of Ukraine in the early 1930s.
Signe Taylor, a senior producer at MPG who served as a mentor to Chesnokova, turned the camera on the graduating student this spring for a look behind the video curtain.Dartmouth Baccalaureate Service 2024Dartmouth2024-06-13 | 2024 BACCALAUREATE
Key Note Speaker: Dr. Andrew Nalani '16, Ph.D.
Title: "The Hidden Blessing of a Question"
The Tucker Center is excited to sponsor the Multifaith Baccalaureate Service, which will feature Dr. Andrew Nalani '16, Ph.D., as well as student speakers and the Gospel Choir. Dr. Nalani will be talking about "The Hidden Blessing of a Question." As a student, Dr. Nalani was the recipient of numerous student awards, including the Churchill Prize (awarded to a first year male student) and the Barrett Cup (awarded to a graduating senior). He was also a student speaker for the inaugural Twilight Ceremony in 2014. Dr. Nalani is an Assistant Professor of Human and Organizational Development at Vanderbilt University
ABOUT THE SERVICE The Baccalaureate Service seems to have originated in the early 15th century at Oxford University in England. Each graduate was obliged to deliver an oration or sermon, in Latin, to demonstrate his worthiness to receive the degree of bachelor, signified by crowning him with laurels. This service is what we now call commencement.
In America, at religious colleges (like Dartmouth was at its founding and early years), the graduation ceremony included a church service, so that new graduates would understand both the seriousness of their new responsibilities and the true Source of all their achievements.
Today's service has evolved greatly since the days of Eleazar Wheelock. It is now a multi-faith, multicultural service in which we celebrate what we hold in common while also recognizing each tradition's beautiful particularities. It is a time of celebration and worship when we pause, as a college, to reflect and express gratitude and joy for our graduates.

African Giants and the American Hegemon:
Artists from megacities like Lagos or Seoul challenge the century-old global ascendancy of US cultural industries with Nollywood films, Afrobeats, K-Pop, and K-Drama.
A Conversation with Vinzenz Hediger:
In 1976 the Nigerian government produced a feature film, “Shehu Umar”, which was based on a Hausa language novel and premiered at FESTAC 77, the pan-African culture festival hosted by Nigeria. The film then disappeared – a key work of a post-colonial cinema which was given for lost and has only recently been rediscovered and restored. Today, Nigeria is one of the most prolific and successful producers of films and music worldwide.
What has changed? Just as new contenders like China, India or Brazil challenge the political and economic hegemony of the United States, megacities like Lagos, Istanbul, Mumbai, Seoul or Djakarta have emerged as new global centers of cultural production. Driven by a combination of affordable digital technologies, entrepreneurial ingenuity and cultural distinctiveness (plus, usually, a dose of hands-off government policy), Nollywood films, Afrobeats artists like Whizkid and Burnaboy, Korean K-Pop and K-Dramas now challenge the century-old ascendancy of US cultural industries from classical Hollywood cinema to the latest US global superstar, Taylor Swift.
But how much power do the “new kings of the world” really wield, as Pakistani writer Fatima Bhutto calls them? Do we witness the dawn of a “new world order of cultural production”, or just a new iteration of US hegemony with minor variations? A historical perspective on Nigeria, based on recent work in the country’s national film archive, can be a good starting point to address these questions in a global perspective.
