    Mapping the Global: The Middlebury Atlas of Globalization

    More than five years ago, three Middlebury College faculty embarked on an ambitious project: to create an atlas textbook for courses in global studies, international relations, and geography that offer a road map to the omnipresent strands of globalization. Our talk will cover the story behind the creation of the atlas and its companion website.  We will discuss the writing process, challenges of covering novel topics, and collaborating with 18 student researchers.

  • Storying Harm: Centering Victims of Vermont’s Sterilization Program

    In 1931, Vermont passed a sterilization law aimed at curbing what it saw as “undesirable” traits in its population. But who, exactly, was this law applied to — and why? While it is documented that this law primarily targeted people of low socioeconomic standing, and those who were institutionalized and disabled, many instead claim that the program disproportionately affected Indigenous people—a claim which evidence does not support.

  • A Real Pain: Screening followed by discussion

    We are pleased to present “A Real Pain,” in observance of the April’s Holocaust Memorial Day, or Yom HaShoah. The Oscar winning film follows two American cousins as they travel to Poland to witness the place where their grandmother survived the Holocaust. The film addresses intergenerational trauma and the question of how best to remember tragedy in a serious, yet not too heavy-handed way—mixing humor and recognizable family dynamics with philosophical questions. Rabbi Danielle Stillman will lead a discussion after the movie for those who wish.
