There has been a revolution in the production of data, and many possible answers to complex questions can be produced from these data with new AI technologies. Yet a black-box conversion of data to evidence may not be trusted by the public: incorrect results can be generated that lead to confusion and even harm.

1975 marks the momentous end of the Vietnam War—when the U.S. military formally withdraws its troops and North Việt Nam begins to occupy its southern counterpart. Both events are memorialized in American visual memory, in which images of U.S. helicopters leaving scores of desperate people behind and a tank bulldozing through National Unification Palace in Sài Gòn are iconic mnemonics of the war and its close. In other words, much of our understanding of “Vietnam,” my own included, has been narrated through visuality and spectacle.

In Almost Futures: Sovereignty and Refuge (UC Press, 2024), I question practices of sovereignty at the heart of modern understandings of what it means to be human in a history imagined as moving ever closer to human mastery at its end. If colonialism and imperialism subjugate others by treating them as less than human in this progressive historiography, nationalist and liberation movements have sought to reverse such dialectics, yet stayed well within this understanding of the human defined by sovereignty.
The Yale Native American Cultural Center presents the fourth annual Indigenous Arts Night.
The night will highlight Native and Indigenous artists and art makers of all disciplines, genres, and mediums – from music, dance, comedy, poetry, to film.

Abstract
The Jackson School of Global Affairs will host the panel discussion, “Sex and Gender in Hard Times: Theory, Law, Policy,” featuring an interdisciplinary, international group of scholars and advocates invested in the questions of how rights attach to gender and sexuality and with regard for the fault lines and internal contestations which hover below the surface of contemporary rights advocacy.
We are hosting an experimental non-traditional classical music event, featuring music that draws from a wide variety of cultures and styles. Removing the barrier between artist and audience, we seek to bring together an eclectic group of artists of all types. Each short 5-7 minute piece will be introduced with points of interest, personal anecdotes, cultural background, and relevance; following each performance, we will lead a small discussion, reacting to what we heard and felt.
