KNOW THYSELF: a Conversation with Ai Weiwei at Bard College Berlin Bard College Berlin 2023-11-30 | This event took place on Saturday, November 25, 2023.“KNOW THYSELF” (ΓΝΩΘΙ СΑΥΤΟΝ) is the title of Ai Weiwei’s new exhibition that opened this September at Berlin’s neugerriemschneider gallery. Echoing the famous inscription on the ancient Greek Temple of Apollo at Delphi, this exhortation is traditionally associated with the figure of Socrates and the pursuit of an examined life. It is also a core ideal of Bard College Berlin. And yet, what does it mean to know oneself? Why and how should individuals and cultures strive for this ideal? And what is art’s role in urging and shaping the quest for self-knowledge?Bard College Berlin was pleased to host a panel discussion with Ai Weiwei, one of the most versatile and thought-provoking artists of our time, who is also a global civic activist and documentarian. Starting with the current exhibition at neugerriemschneider gallery, faculty members Ewa Atanassow and Geoff Lehman and senior student Jiayao Lilith Gao engaged Ai in a conversation about artworks from the exhibition, the relationship of his work to diverse traditions and cultural canons, and his vision of art’s power to reflect upon and to inspire global transformations. https://berlin.bard.edu/events/know-thyself-a-conversation-with-ai-weiwei▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00 - Speech by Dr. Florian Becker6:46 - Intro by Prof. Dr. Dorothea von Hantelmann 12:18 - Panel discussion 56:31 - Q&A

Firoozeh Farvardin, Why Do We Care? Roots and Consequences of the Feminist Revolution in Iran Bard College Berlin 2023-05-31 | This online lecture was delivered on March 27, 2023 and was made possible by OSUN and the Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice initiative. Despite its uniqueness and unpredictability, the current Jin Jiyan Azadi revolution in Iran is not born out of a void. In this lecture, Firoozeh Farvardin, a feminist activist/scholar, addresses the historical contexts of political discontent and mobilizations against gender/sexual politics of the Islamic Republic in the past four decades that led to the revolutionary movement in the present. She also discusses the meanings and implications of calling the revolutionary movement in Iran a feminist revolution. The lecture concludes with an invitation to think about the implications and long-term impacts of the Jin Jiyan Azadi revolution on transnational feminist struggles.Firoozeh Farvardin is a feminist activist/scholar based in Berlin. She is currently a postdoc fellow of IRGAC (International Research Group on Authoritarianism and Counter-strategies), Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, where she is working on gender/sexual (counter) strategies of authoritarian neoliberalism in Iran. She is also an affiliated researcher at MERGE (Middle East and Migration Research Network) and a former guest lecturer at the Berlin Institute for Integration and Migration Research (BIM), Humboldt University of Berlin.
Aslı Vatansever, Feminization, But Make It Cool: Academic Labor Activism Bard College Berlin 2023-05-31 | This online lecture was delivered on May 2, 2023 and was made possible by OSUN and the Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice initiative. Within labor studies, ‘feminization’ is a contested term with multiple connotations – rarely with positive ones. In this talk, Aslı Vatansever reflects upon whether the experiences of adjunct advocacy groups and precarious researchers’ networks can change the way we conceptualize feminization and help us reclaim the positive traits associated with the historical construct of the feminine. Following a broad overview on the qualitative and quantitative conceptions of the term in the general labor discourse, Vatansever proceeds to introduce its particular framings within the context of academic employment. Drawing on two contemporary cases of academic labor activism, namely the adjunct advocacy group New Faculty Majority in the United States and the precarious researchers’ Network for Decent Work in Academia in Germany, she illustrates the turn away from performative activism in favor of movements based on relational groundwork. Based on these case examples, Vatansever proposes to reframe ‘feminization’ affirmatively as a type of affective and relational mode of organizing and argue that this ‘affective turn’ in academic labor activism heralds a ‘feminization of resistance’ – a new era for both academic labor activisms and in the conceptual trajectory of the term ‘feminization’.Aslı Vatansever is a sociologist of work and social stratification with a focus on precarious labor and labor activism in academia. Currently, she is a research fellow at Bard College Berlin. Her work on academic labor activism has appeared in prominent outlets in the field of labor studies such as Work, Employment and Society. She has recently published a monograph At the Margins of Academia: Exile, Precariousness, and Subjectivity (Brill, 2020) and an edited volume Academic Freedom and Precarity in the Global North: Free as a Bird (co-edited with Aysuda Kölemen, Routledge, 2022).

Srila Roy, Changing the Subject: Feminist and Queer Politics in Neoliberal India Bard College Berlin 2022-12-07 | This online lecture was delivered on November 21, 2022 and was made possible by OSUN and the Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice initiative. In Changing the Subject, Srila Roy maps the rapidly transforming terrain of gender and sexual politics in India under the conditions of global neoliberalism. The consequences of India’s liberalization were paradoxical: the influx of global funds for social development and NGOs signaled the cooptation and depoliticization of struggles for women’s rights, even as they amplified the visibility and vitalization of queer activism.Roy reveals the specificity of activist and NGO work around issues of gender and sexuality through a decade-long ethnography of two West Bengal organizations, one working on lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues and the other on rural women’s empowerment. Tracing changes in feminist governmentality that were entangled in transnational neoliberalism, Roy shows how historical and highly local feminist currents shaped contemporary queer and non-queer neoliberal feminisms. The interplay between historic techniques of activist governance and queer feminist governmentality’s focus on changing the self offers a new way of knowing feminism—both as always already co-opted and as a transformative force in the world.Srila Roy is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and 2022 Hunt-Simes Visiting Professor in Sexuality Studies at the University of Sydney.

Real Talk: What Cannot / Should not be Shown Bard College Berlin 2022-11-18 | Syria under Assad, Afghanistan under the Taliban, Russian-occupied areas in Ukraine and many others parts of the world are settings of atrocious war crimes and crimes against humanity that can never be atoned for. They represent a raw challenge to those who seek to advocate for the victims and their cause in the most impactful and widespread manner possible. How to visualize the sufferings? How to show the assaults? Is it even possible and permissible to do so? Sociologist Teresa Koloma Beck, together with displaced students and alumni/ae from Bard College Berlin, will discuss the complexities of showing such material and shaking the complacency of audiences that are co-responsible for the acts of torture, murder and rape committed by criminal regimes.This free event was organized as a part of the GOYA - Yo lo vi / Ich sah es / I saw it series series and took place at the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg in Berlin.

Sara Abbas: The Problem with Icons. Feminist Contestations in Sudans Ongoing Revolution Bard College Berlin 2022-10-04 | In April 2019, during the early days of a mass sit-in in Khartoum calling for the fall of the alBashir regime, this image of Alaa Salah, a young Sudanese woman reciting poetry, went viral. Within days, the photo appeared in prominent media outlets, including the New York Times, which argued that images such as this “derive their power in part from the sheer quotidian nature of the individual, armored not in defensive gear or in depersonalizing military garb but in the clothes of the everyday.”In this event organized by OSUN's Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice project, political scientist Sara Abbas takes this image as a starting point and looks at feminist activism during the ongoing revolution in Sudan, situating it within the history of women’s struggles since independence. Highlighting the shifts that are taking place in how women, especially young women, conceive of the “political”, Abbas argues that devoid of an intersectional lens, such images serve to depoliticize struggles for gender justice, and obscure more than they show.Sara Abbas is a political scientist and current recipient of the “inequalities” fellowship at the Open Society Foundations. She is researching and writing a manuscript on the imaginations and collective practices that have arisen in the sit-in spaces (protestor camps) during Sudan’s ongoing revolution. Sara is a contributor to Diversity on Common Ground: Ten perspectives on contemporary feminism (2020) and A Region in Revolt: Mapping the recent uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (2020).

Naminata Diabate: Naked Agency / Protest: Between the Occult and the Internet Bard College Berlin 2022-05-10 | The last two decades have registered an outstanding wave of naked protests globally. In Africa, the proliferation and hypervisibility of that which is erroneously called genital cursing can be explained by multiple factors, including the power of the digital sphere and the intensification and multiplication of negative biopolitical conditions. This lecture traces the historical trajectory of mature women’s insurrectionary disrobing and examines its recent deployment during moments of socio-political duress. Thirdly, I meditate on the impact of the sharing affordances of Internet media to reframe the terms of the debate around women’s agency. As news and images of the gesture travel outside of their original site of performance, the women’s agency takes on new forms. Diverging, thus, from the longstanding logic that frames the women as endlessly empowered and empowering, I propose that we think of their agency as naked, in the keys of instability and openness. Naminata Diabate is an associate professor of comparative literature at Cornell University. A scholar of gender, sexuality, and race, taking her archives literary fiction, cinema, visual arts, and digital media, her most recent work has appeared in a monograph, peer-reviewed journals, and collections of essays, including Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art (2020), Routledge Handbook of African Literature (2019), African Literature Today ALT 36 (2018), Critical Interventions (2017), Research in African Literatures (2016), and Fieldwork in the Humanities (2016). Her book, Naked Agency: Genital Cursing and Biopolitics in Africa was published by Duke University Press in 2020 and awarded the African Studies Association 2021 Best Book Prize. This year, she holds the Ali Mazrui Senior Research Fellowship at the Africa Institute of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, working on two monographs, “The Problem of Pleasure in Global Africa” and “Digital Insurgencies and Bodily Domains.”This lecture series is jointly curated by faculty involved in Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice, a new project that offers a sustainable platform for students and professors from OSUN colleges to engage in rigorous academic work, express themselves freely, inspire each other through art, and work closely with local and international initiatives to further the feminist agenda for social justice.
Tatsiana Shchurko: From Harlem to Tashkent Bard College Berlin 2022-05-05 | Tatsiana Shchurko – From Harlem to Tashkent: Rethinking Histories of Socialist Internationalism for Transnational Feminist SolidaritiesIn 2006, Esther Cooper Jackson, a renowned Black civil rights activist, social worker, and leftist thinker, participated in a community event in Harlem. Among many things, she also talked about her Cold War-era political activism and underlined that “more and more of us need to become internationalist.” What does this statement mean for transnational feminist solidarities today? How to pick up on Esther Cooper Jackson’s call thoughtfully and ethically? What are the prospects to engage with histories of socialist internationalism for social justice struggles today? To engage with these questions, I return to alternative histories of transnational feminist solidarities rooted in practices of socialist internationalism. Today, many past solidarities associated with the Soviet Union and socialist internationalism have been excluded from transnational feminist inquiry and devalued. However, our current ongoing context of the pandemic, rise of the global right, imperial violence, and authoritarian politics make obvious the transnational interdependencies and raise concerns about the possibility of feminist solidarity and care between distant communities. To approach the contemporary urgencies, I look at the link between past radical struggles in the U.S. and the former second world. In this way, I focus on alternative geographies of connection, togetherness, and solidarity that appear marginal, insignificant, or invisible for conventional historiographies and traditional geographic arrangements. For this talk, I will address why to study the various histories of socialist internationalism and what significance these stories can have for contemporary transnational feminist solidarities.Tatsiana Shchurko is a researcher and queer feminist activist from Belarus. In 2021, she completed her PhD in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio State University. Her dissertation explores hidden or unclaimed histories of socialist internationalism for their relevance today. Specifically, Tatsiana explores the relations between Black women and state socialist women and “sister cities” solidarities to reevaluate how internationalist ideas and transnational mobility play a fundamental role in producing a sense of agency and resistance to global injustices.This lecture series is jointly curated by faculty involved in Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice, a new project that offers a sustainable platform for students and professors from OSUN colleges to engage in rigorous academic work, express themselves freely, inspire each other through art, and work closely with local and international initiatives to further the feminist agenda for social justice.
Kaan Bulak – Listening in Dreams: Making a living as a composer and musician Bard College Berlin 2022-05-02 | 'Listening in Dreams:' Making a living as a composer and musicianFor artists who are living the life they have always dreamed of, it’s easy to keep forgetting that. And if dreams are the easiest access we have to our inner selves, our subconsciousness, that part of our being is the most interesting for artists, since art also allows for experiences that can't be described in words. Our biggest challenge, then, lies in balancing our dreamy state of being with the state of being that has to run a label, recording studio, and get projects through funding processes.Kaan Bulak is a composer and pianist who writes music, performs on stage with his ensemble and creates sonic experiences. Along the way, Kaan has started releasing electronic music and played live sets in clubs. In 2017 he was able to gather commissions by classically oriented institutions and moved over to classical stages to perform with his ensemble, as a soloist with symphony orchestras, and solo concerts. For electronically augmenting the grand piano, he co-designed a radial loudspeaker specifically for classical concert halls. With such speaker concepts and his label Feral Note, which focuses on music between electronic and acoustic sounds, his aim is to bring underground sounds, artists, and attitudes to classical stages.
meLê yamomo: Postmigrant Listenings Artist Talk Bard College Berlin 2022-04-19 | Theater maker and composer meLê yamomo discusses his artistic philosophy and research on how soundings and listenings transform us towards a postmigrant society. What lies in between theory and aesthetics? Situatedness and migration? Sounding and listening? Performing and perception? The Universal Self and the Colonial Other? What understandings transpire in imagining beyond social imaginations of racial, national, cultural, gender, or disciplinary borders and boundaries? What knowledges emerge through hearing? How can processes of soundings and listening transform us towards a postmigrant society? In this artist-talk, meLê yamomo speaks about his biography and philosophy as an artist-scholar migrating between continents, cultures, artistic practices, and academic disciplines.meLê yamomo has lived in Lucena City, Los Baños, Metro Manila, Seoul, Bangkok, Warwick, and Munich, and now inhabits Amsterdam and Berlin researching, teaching, and creating performance/theatre and sound/music. He is an Assistant Professor of Theatre, Performance, and Sound Studies at the University of Amsterdam, the author of Sounding Modernities: Theatre and Music in Manila and the Asia Pacific, 1869-1946 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), and project leader and principal investigator of the projects »Sonic Entanglements« and Decolonizing Southeast Asian Sound Archives (DeCoSEAS). meLê is a resident artist at Theater Ballhaus Naunynstrasse where his creations Echoing Europe, sonus, and Forces of Overtones are on repertoire. meLê also curates the Decolonial Frequences Festival and hosts the Sonic Entanglements podcast. In his works as artist-scholar, meLê engages the topics of sonic migrations, queer aesthetics, and post/de-colonial acoustemologies. This event was part of the OSUN-cross-campus project "Research-Creation: (Im-)Materialities of 20th/21st Century 'Refugee Protection'"
Poulami Roychowdhury – Capability and Incorporation Bard College Berlin 2022-03-23 | Capability and Incorporation: Pathways to Redress in the Aftermath of ViolenceGender-based violence is a heavily politicized issue in India with diverse organizations supporting women’s legal claims. Meanwhile, law enforcement personnel are both sexist and have limited abilities to enforce the law. How do women claim rights within these conditions? How do rights negotiations impact gender inequality, legality, and state authority? Using participant observation and in-depth interview data, Roychowdhury shows how women are compelled to demonstrate “capability” when they claim rights against violence. Law enforcement personnel respond favorably to women who mobilize collective threats and do the work of the state themselves, while ignoring women who are meek and docile. They incorporate “capable” women into regulatory functions, urging them to complete case processing duties, negotiate extra-legal settlements, and deploy violence. The talk urges listeners to reconsider existing theories of law and gender-based violence, arguing that the study of India may house insights for how law enforcement relates to survivors in other parts of the world.Poulami Roychowdhury is Assistant Professor of Sociology at McGill University. Her research focuses on politics, law, and gender. She has published in a range of journals, including the American Journal of Sociology, Law & Social Inquiry, Gender & Society, and Signs. In this lecture, she will be talking about her recent book, Capable Women, Incapable States: Negotiating Violence and Rights in India, published with Oxford University Press in 2021.This lecture series is jointly curated by faculty involved in Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice, a new project that offers a sustainable platform for students and professors from OSUN colleges to engage in rigorous academic work, express themselves freely, inspire each other through art, and work closely with local and international initiatives to further the feminist agenda for social justice.
Akwugo Emejulu – Intersectional Vulnerabilities and the Banality of Harm Bard College Berlin 2022-01-28 | Intersectional Vulnerabilities and the Banality of Harm: The Dangerous Desires of Women of Color Activists Prof. Akwugo Emejulu examines how 'intersectional vulnerabilities' are experienced and made sense of by women of color activists in Europe. She names intersectional vulnerabilities as a broad, sometimes contradictory, set of emotions, all tied to activists’ complex experiences of insecurity and community. Intersectional vulnerabilities are those risks and rewards, derived from women of color activists’ positioning in relation to race, class, gender, sexuality, disability and legal status, which shape the possibilities of women of color’s activist labor. These vulnerabilities are Janus-faced, in that they are experienced as social harms that oftentimes lead to community. Prof. Emejulu attempts to grapple with the bittersweetness of vulnerability and how the banality of harms meted out to women of color nevertheless contains the seeds of resistance, solidarity and self-love. Akwugo Emejulu is Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. Her research interests include the political sociology of race, class and gender and women of color's grassroots activism in Europe and the United States. She is the author of several books including Fugitive Feminism (Silver Press, forthcoming) and Minority Women and Austerity: Survival and Resistance in France and Britain (Policy Press, 2017). She is co-editor of To Exist is to Resist: Black Feminism in Europe (Pluto Press, 2019). This lecture series is jointly curated by faculty involved in Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice, a new project that offers a sustainable platform for students and professors from OSUN colleges to engage in rigorous academic work, express themselves freely, inspire each other through art, and work closely with local and international initiatives to further the feminist agenda for social justice.

The Campus as Battleground. Precarious Work and Labor Struggles in 21st-Century Academia - Part II Bard College Berlin 2022-01-07 | The commodification of knowledge and the gradual privatization of higher education from the last quarter of the 20th Century onward have radically transformed the academic employment relations. As a result of decreased public funding, contingent employment has become the norm in the academic sector on a global scale. In the meantime, pervasive job insecurity has kicked off waves of academic labor activism over the course of the last two decades. Especially in the leading scientific countries of the Global North, mobilizations of precarious academics have increased significantly despite the obstacles for collectivity and organization posed by precarious employment. Protests against Covid-19-related layoffs at several universities in the UK and the US and the latest academic strike wave that swept the UK and France in late 2019/early 2020 represent some of the more recent examples. But prolonged unionized struggles or unionization attempts, wildcat strikes, campus protests, and campaigns against fixed-term academic employment organized by advocacy groups and solidarity networks have been going on and off for some time now in several countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, France, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, and Germany.In view of this rather surprising and encouraging uproar, this online workshop on December 11, 2021 brings together academic labor activists from the US and Europe. The main aim is to contribute to an extended exchange of activist know-how among various academic labor movements.

Campus as Battleground. Precarious Work and Labour Struggles in 21st - Century Academia. Part I Bard College Berlin 2022-01-07 | The commodification of knowledge and the gradual privatization of higher education from the last quarter of the 20th Century onward have radically transformed the academic employment relations. As a result of decreased public funding, contingent employment has become the norm in the academic sector on a global scale. In the meantime, pervasive job insecurity has kicked off waves of academic labor activism over the course of the last two decades. Especially in the leading scientific countries of the Global North, mobilizations of precarious academics have increased significantly despite the obstacles for collectivity and organization posed by precarious employment. Protests against Covid-19-related layoffs at several universities in the UK and the US and the latest academic strike wave that swept the UK and France in late 2019/early 2020 represent some of the more recent examples. But prolonged unionized struggles or unionization attempts, wildcat strikes, campus protests, and campaigns against fixed-term academic employment organized by advocacy groups and solidarity networks have been going on and off for some time now in several countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, France, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, and Germany.In view of this rather surprising and encouraging uproar, this online workshop on December 11, 2021 brings together academic labor activists from the US and Europe. The main aim is to contribute to an extended exchange of activist know-how among various academic labor movements. It is planned as a virtual-only, one-day event, featuring only invited speakers but open to public upon registration. Workshop language is English. The event is organized jointly with the Global Affairs Committee of the Labor and Working-Class History Association, supported by Bard College Berlin, and funded by the Philipp-Schwartz-Initiative of the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation.Speakers: Theresa O’Keefe is a lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at University College Cork where she directs the MA in Sociology of Sustainability and Global Changes.http://research.ucc.ie/profiles/A024/theresa.okeefe@ucc.ieAline Courtois is a senior lecturer in the Department of Education at the University of Bath.researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/persons/aline-courtoisEleonora Priori is a Ph.D. student in Economics and Complex Systems at the University of Turin (Italy).phdpareto.carloalberto.org/eleonora-prioriPeter Ullrich is a sociologist and senior researcher in the research unit “Social Movements, Technology, Conflicts” at the Technical University Berlin and fellow at the Institute for Protest and Social Movement Studies and the Center for Research on Antisemitism.

Begüm Başdaş – Militarization of Migration: Spatial Politics of European Borderlands Bard College Berlin 2022-01-05 | In this Global Histories of Migration lecture Dr. Begüm Başdaş will speak about EU border policies in relation to migration-EU policies of externalization of asylum, militarization of border policing and racialized criminalization of refugee bodies produce spaces of physical deterrence at the borderlands of Europe. To prevent people from moving, Frontex turns a blind eye to brutal pushbacks at the borders and EU provides funds to governments for the construction of inhumane camps, where people live without access to basic rights and remain in limbo for long periods of time. Through new configurations of technology, security and violence, these borderlands, such as in Hungary, Croatia, Poland, and Greece are declared as spaces of “emergency” to justify the measures taken to curb migration and send “a message” to people on the move, while “closed controlled” camps on the Greek hotspot islands are built by EU funding. Focusing on the borderlands of Europe, this lecture rethinks what militarization of migration and architecture of deterrence tell us about the future of Europe.Begüm Başdaş (hertie-school.org/en/research/faculty-and-researchers/profile/person/basdas) is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Fundamental Rights at the Hertie School. Her research interests are in the fields of migration, human rights, political theory, gender and sexuality studies with a focus on EU and Turkey. She received her PhD in Geography from the University of California Los Angeles and her MA in Art History from the University of California Riverside. Her BA was in Sociology at Boğaziçi University, Turkey. Before joining the Hertie School, she was an Einstein Fellow at Humboldt University in Berlin at BIM, where she worked on the spatial politics of solidarity and care among Afghan refugees and rights defenders in Greece. She also worked full-time as a human rights campaigner at Amnesty International Turkey for six years. She has a biweekly TV program titled “On the Move with Begüm Başdaş” on Medyascope TV in English and Turkish, where she discusses current issues on migration with different guests.As a critical feminist geographer, her current research titled “In the Making of New Europe: Embodied Politics of Borderlands and Refugee Resilience” aims to contribute to migration and border studies by examining the reconstruction of EU borderlands at multiple scales through the governance of migration particularly in Greece and the Balkan routes.This event is part of the Global Histories of Migration lecture series and funded by the Mellon Consortium on Forced Migration, Displacement and Education.
2021 REAL TALK Afghanistan - The Great Betrayal Bard College Berlin 2021-11-15 | After the precipitous withdrawal of the U.S. and its allies from Afghanistan in August, tens of thousands of Afghans who had worked with the Western Allies are stranded in Afghanistan, fearing for their lives and futures. Comparatively few have been evacuated to the West. Women, queer people, and minorities like the Hazara are especially endangered. While every day civic and political rights are being more restricted by the Taliban, many are trying to flee to neighboring countries. But entering Uzbekistan, Iran, and Pakistan has become almost impossible. In Pakistan, which advocates for the legitimacy of the Taliban, the mood against refugees is tipping. Prices for a visa, transportation, smugglers, food, and everything else are skyrocketing. Desperation is growing among the people left behind and in Afghan diasporas around the world.Join us for an online event discussing the current developments with BCB students from Afghanistan.Speakers:Qais Sangarkhail, (Humanities, Arts, and Social Thought ‘23)Having survived Taliban rule in Afghanistan, he arrived alone in Germany aged 22. He went on to study Humanities at Bard College Berlin, with a full scholarship and now he is in his third year of BCB's BA program. Today he is working to raise awareness on issues concerning the violations of human rights and rights to education in Afghanistan as a diaspora in Berlin.Ibrar Mirzai (Economics, Politics, and Social Thought ‘24)Ibrar is a second year BA student at Bard College Berlin. He has been living in Germany for over a year after having spent three years in Hungary. He grew up as a second-generation Afghan in Pakistan and always felt connected to Afghanistan through culture, language and ethnic identity. “Today, another generation of Afghans are losing their homes and livelihoods - another generation of Afghans are going to live in exile. The world has to stand up in solidarity with Afghans." Sayed Parviz Khyber (Economics, Politics, and Social Thought ‘22)Sayed was born in Afghanistan and has lived most of his life as a refugee first in Pakistan and then in Hungary, graduating from high school there. He is currently in his final year of the Economics, Politics, and Social Thought BA program at BCB. He has worked as a social worker in refugee integration programs in Hungary until 2019 and is now a member of the European Commission Expert Group on the Views of Migrants in the Field of Migration Asylum and Integration.Respondents:Pashtana DurraniPashtana is a former refugee who was born in Pakistan's refugee camp and is now an educator and the director of LEARN, Afghanistan. She is also a global youth representative for Amnesty International and the Malala Fund Education Champion. Pashtana was evacuated from Afghanistan very recently and currently is in the US. Fatima AiranFatima Airan is a former senior specialist at the Ministry of Finance of Afghanistan who graduated from the American University of Central Asia in 2019 after completing her bachelor in Economics. Fatima along with her sister was evacuated in August after the Taliban's takeover and she is currently waiting for relocation in Kigali, Rwanda.This event is part of the Real Talk Series and supported by the Open Society University Network Threatened Scholars Initiative and the Mellon Consortium on Forced Migration, Displacement and Education.
Ewa Majewska: Feminist Antifascism Bard College Berlin 2021-11-15 | When we say "never again!" in the context of World War II and the fascist political ideology, which, as some claim, have returned in the 21st century, what do we mean exactly? Does this exclamation confirm an existing reality? Or is it a sort of spell cast to contradict what we see? And if yes, then what exactly do we see? From the perspective of living in Warsaw, we might recognize the historical patterns of fascist descent in today's exclusions and inequalities. However, in today's globalized academia and public debate more broadly, the question of translation and translatability of particular experiences immediately appears. The conversation should thus have a twofold structure: testing the possibilities and limitations of historical comparisons as well as the politics and limits of translation of such analysis in the globalized debate. I will thus address the project of transnational feminism from a specific Central European perspective of both historical and today's antifascist analysis conducted as a feminist one. The perhaps obvious, yet still insufficiently emphasized centrality of feminism in today's antifascism will thus be emphasized.Ewa Majewska is a feminist philosopher and activist living in Warsaw. She has taught at the University of Warsaw and the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and was also a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, ICI Berlin, and IWM in Vienna. She published one book in English (Feminist Antifascism: Counterpublics of the Common, Verso 2021) and four books in Polish as well as 50 articles and essays in journals, magazines and collected volumes including e-flux, Signs, Third Text, Journal of Utopian Studies, and Jacobin. Her current research is in Hegel's philosophy, focusing on the dialectics and the weak; feminist critical theory and antifascist cultures.This lecture series is jointly curated by faculty involved in Transnational Feminism, Solidarity, and Social Justice, a new project that offers a sustainable platform for students and professors from OSUN colleges to engage in rigorous academic work, express themselves freely, inspire each other through art, and work closely with local and international initiatives to further the feminist agenda for social justice.

Aslı Vatansever – Passionate and Burnt Out: Academic Work in the 21st Century Bard College Berlin 2021-06-03 | In this talk Philipp-Schwartz-Fellow and BCB faculty member Dr. Aslı Vatansever discusses the current state of academic work and employment. She pays specific attention to the tension between neoliberal labor casualization and the traditional academic work culture based on passion and intrinsic motivation. The impact of the decrease in job security and the rise of temporary employment practices is discussed from the perspective of both the future of higher education and the well-being of early-career researchers. Dr. Vatansever aims to illuminate how sector-specific factors can be conducive to neoliberal exploitation mechanisms, especially in creative/intellectual sectors. Ultimately this talk seeks to stimulate critical reflection on possible means to overcome voluntary self-exploitation in the creative sectors.Dr. Aslı Vatansever (PhD University of Hamburg, 2010) is a sociologist of work and social stratification with a focus on precarious academic labor. Currently, she is a Philipp-Schwartz-Fellow at Bard College Berlin and works on a project titled “Varieties of Academic Labor Activism in Europe”. Her books include: "Ursprünge des Islamismus im Osmanischen Reich. Eine weltsystemanalytische Perspektive" (Hamburg: Dr. Kovač, 2010), "Ne Ders Olsa Veririz. Akademisyenin Vasıfsız İşçiye Dönüşümü" (Ready to Teach Anything. The Transformation of the Academic into Unskilled Worker, Istanbul: İletişim, 2015 – co-authored with Meral Gezici-Yalçın), and "At the Margins of Academia. Exile, Precariousness, and Subjectivity" (Brill: 2020).
Michael Rothberg – Multidirectional Memory and Postcolonial Studies in Contemporary Germany Bard College Berlin 2021-06-03 | In this talk as part of the BCB Global Histories of Migration lecture series Michael Rothberg introduces his book: "Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization" on the occasion of the publication of the German translation. The translation appears in a moment of intensive debate in the German public sphere about colonial legacies, postcolonial studies, the relation between antisemitism and racism, and the place of the Holocaust in Germany’s memorial landscape. In addition to providing an overview of the book’s central arguments, Rothberg will reflect on how the concept of multidirectional memory can help illuminate and address the current controversies. Michael Rothberg is the 1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studies and Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Los Angeles. His latest book is The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators (2019), published by Stanford University Press.
