  "To Love an Island: Reading and Conversation with Poet / Organizer Ana Portnoy Brimmer"

  4:30 PM ET

  Sponsored by:

  Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, Center for Comparative Study of Race & Ethnicity, Latin American Studies, Creative Writing, Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies, and Luso-Hispanic Studies

  Ana Portnoy Brimmer, poet and organizer from Puerto Rico, will be talking about and reading from her debut poetry collection, To Love An Island. This book offers the stark recognition that disaster is political and colonialism the most violent of storms. Beginning with the aftermath of Hurricane María and spanning the summer insurrection of 2019 and subsequent earthquakes in Puerto Rico, To Love An Island is an exploration of collective trauma, an outpour of amassed grief, a desire for unleashed mourning, a fuck-you to resilience, a brandishing of resistance.

  American Studies Guest Lecture: Prof. Ford Risley, "Abolition and the Press: The Moral Struggle Against Slavery"

  American Studies

  Prof. Ford Risley, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Communications at Penn State University, will give a guest lecture titled, “Abolition and the Press: The Moral Struggle Against Slavery.” Abolitionist newspapers played an essential role in opposing slavery in the decades before the Civil War. Some 40 newspapers were founded with the goal of promoting emancipation of the more than three million slaves in the United States. At a time when most mainstream publications either supported slavery or ignored the subject, abolitionist newspapers were an unmistakable voice of outrage.
