TANNENBAUM LECTURE "Arthur Mitchell: The Extraordinary Life of Harlem's Ballet Visionary" Lynn Garafola Professor Emerita of Dance at Barnard College Born in 1934 to parents who came to Harlem during the Great Migration, Arthur Mitchell fell in love with ballet as a teenager and against all odds became New York City Ballet's first African American star.

  • Environmental and Racial Justice in Shakespeare Studies

    Faculty House 64 Morningside Drive, New York
    Conferences/Symposia

    Sponsored by The University Seminar on Shakespeare This symposium brings together scholars and artists to consider the intersections of racial, social, and environmental justice in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The interlinked racial and environmental crises of our time seem to compound faster than mitigating efforts, let alone the human imagination, can keep up. But the reparative work they demand requires a deep investigation of the early modern past. As the imaginative literature from this period demonstrates, premodern ideas of racial difference were inseparable from questions of geographical distance, understandings about “nature,” and the complexity of the more-than-human […]

    Annual Events

    Postponed until Fall 2027 Art of the Lecture Brent Hayes Edwards Peng Family Professor of English and Comparative Literature Lecture III: “Accompaniments of the Utterance” Although lecture courses are a staple of university teaching, there is oddly little scholarship considering the lecture as a format. This series of lectures is framed neither as a straightforward history nor as a practical how-to guide, but instead as an argument for the unique generic qualities and political stakes of the lecture as a mode that hovers between pedagogy and performance. Brent Hayes Edwards is the Peng Family Professor of English and Comparative Literature at […]
