    Shape Note Singing

    Sponsored by:
    Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life

    Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.

  • Professionalizing the Environment: Architecture and Regulation in the Age of Ecology

    Sponsored by:
    History of Arts and Architecture

    This lecture considers the rise of the American environmental movement as a drive of changes in professional-managerial expertise, and how architects responded to a growing list of controls over land use and development with new design tools and techniques of persuasion. Placing architects at the heart of debates over the fate of the built environment, the lecture examines how aesthetic judgment, computational software, and bureaucratic regulation converged to remake both the products and practice of architecture.

  • Albertine Film Festival: L’étranger film screening

    Sponsored by:
    French and Francophone Studies

    In 1930s French Algeria, indifferent Frenchman Meursault faces upheaval after his mother’s death and a fatal beach encounter with an Arab man, leading to a trial that scrutinizes his detached character in this adaptation of Albert Camus’s existential novella. The story explores his emotional aloofness amid a violent intrigue involving his neighbor and the victim’s brothers.

  • Hirschfield International Film Series: La Bola Negra

    Sponsored by:
    Film & Media Culture

    Spanning 1932, 1937, and 2017, three men confront the ghosts of a Spain torn between desire and repression. Carlos fights for acceptance, Sebastián falls in love across the battle lines of the Civil War, and Alberto unearths a family secret buried for decades. Bound by forbidden passions, violence, and inherited wounds, their intertwined destinies expose a legacy of intolerance that refuses to die, echoing the tragic world of Federico García Lorca.

    Maryna Krut, Bandura

    Sponsored by:
    Performing Arts Series

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine transformed Bandura virtuoso Maryna Krut from being a singer and performer updating a beautiful tradition of music to being a witness testifying around the world about the devastating war in her homeland. From her temporary home in the west of Ukraine, she travels to the front lines of the war to perform for soldiers. In Ukraine, Krut gained a national following after appearances on that country’s versions of “The X Factor” and “The Voice,” as well as placing in Eurovision.
