The Office of International Students & Scholars is excited to collaborate with the Native American Cultural Center and the Association of Native Americans at Yale for our third Understanding America event of the fall semester.
At a moment of transnational racial reckoning, this listening session explores black frequency as a site of possibility. It engages black frequency in multiple forms: as a sonic space that ranges from silence to deafening, dissonant noise; as a register of ecstatic rapture and spirituality; as a temporal feedback loop of memory, repetition, and renewal; as a dynamic relation of call and response, or chorus and verse; as a haptic and kinetic space of contact and connection across the African continent and its various diasporas.
As museums reimagine how anthropology interprets Africa and “Blackness,” they are wrestling with both the residues of historical race science and the realities of anti-Black racism in America today. For anthropologists working in museums this “decolonizing the museum” approach means balancing anthropology as a science against pseudoscientific notions of Africa and “Blackness” that museums and anthropology helped to visually codify in the popular imagination.
Continuing this year’s ¡Fiesta Latina! programming and curated in partnership with Colectivo Bambula, this panel will bring together Latinx professionals across the diaspora working to challenge anti-Blackness in Latinx culture, highlighting the dynamic work of organizers, educators, artists, and freedom fighters.
Join the Yale community for this special livestream event to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with two iconic national disability rights leaders who were instrumental in the passage of this historic bill. A lifelong disability rights advocate, Judith E. Heumann has served in the Clinton and Obama administrations, the nonprofit sector, and at the World Bank and State Department to promote the mainstreaming of disability rights domestically and abroad—she was recently featured in the Netflix documentary, Crip Camp.
Please join the Yale Environmental Dialogue for an online panel discussion with leading environmental justice scholars and practitioners on what the result of the election means for the future of the environmental justice movement. The panel will be held on Zoom on Monday, November 9, 2020, from 6:00-7:00 PM ET. Please register at https://yale.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_omxhlX__S1-J4-emp0htMg.
DESCRIPTION:
Since the onset of the global pandemic, every day has meant adapting, resisting, reflecting, re-energizing and re-imagining with our hopes, fears and dreams in stride. As we look to 2021, we collectively navigate the iterations of our present moment more intentionally than ever before. With the theme of navigation in mind, the Yale Schwarzman Center invites undergraduate, graduate and professional school students to share creative responses to the following questions:
· How are you navigating space, change and truth in an ambiguous and fluid time?
This event marks the second of a four part conversation series around technology and social justice; an intersectional conversation series that aims to investigate the impact of innovation upon our communities.
This month’s panel CONTACT TRACE examines contact tracing and its implications for public security and privacy. The discussion will be moderated by C. Brandon Ogbunu.
C. Brandon Ogbunu is a computational biologist at Yale University. His popular writing takes place at the intersection between sports, data science, and culture.
