  • 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.

    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.

  • Hirschfield International Film Series: The Oldest Person in the World

    Sponsored by:
    Film & Media Culture
    A ten-year worldwide exploration tracks successive holders of the oldest living person title. A study of longevity transforms into reflection on time’s flow, fate’s unpredictability, and the joy of human existence. “For a movie so filled with death, The Oldest Person in the World is surprisingly, almost confrontationally life-affirming.” - Vulture “A soft and gentle hug of a film, one that reifies life’s most sacred values while retaining the essential mystery behind our most pressing questions.” - ScreenRant Brought to you by the Hirschfield International Film 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.

    Imani Winds and Stewart Goodyear, Piano

    Sponsored by:
    Performing Arts Series

    The Grammy award-winning Imani Winds joins forces with dynamic pianist and composer Stewart Goodyear. Blending music and narrative—and inspired by the African American folktale “The People Could Fly”—this program marks America’s 250th year with a mediation on freedom, memory, and transformation. Rather than a patriotic celebration, it offers a space for reflection—a journey through works by living composers who give voice to migration, resistance, and the ongoing pursuit of justice.
