“Cine-Memoria:” Past and Present in Latin American Cinemas

Faculty House 64 Morningside Drive, New York +1 more

Cine-Memoria: Past and Present in Latin American Cinemas is a conference and screenings that consider two times in the history of regional Latin American filmmaking.

GLP-1 Agonists: A New Frontier In The Treatment of Obesity

Faculty House 64 Morningside Drive, New York

There is considerable excitement about a new generation of anti-obesity medications (AOMs). These medications supply the body with analogues of hormones that are naturally produced in the gut, including glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1), which signal the termination of eating and suppress hunger. Recent clinical trials demonstrate marked efficacy of GLP-1-based AOMs in promoting weight loss with some evidence that their primary mechanism of action is to limit food intake. Although work is needed to precisely characterize effects on eating behaviors, initial data suggest that GLP-1 analogues can enhance satiation and curb appetite. Ultimately, these new classes of AOMs have potential to counter […]

2023 Schoff Memorial Lecture Series, III

Faculty House 64 Morningside Drive, New York

Hidden Hybridities III: The Black American Roots of the Broadway Musical Sound Much of my academic work addresses the results in language of contact between groups. My main interests are in revealing hybridities hitherto unsuspected, and in refining our conception of hybridities more obvious. My goal, addressing a wide range of languages and also extending to music, is to wean us from preconceptions due to superficial appearances, distracting gulfs between the present and the past, and concerns more local to our moment than scientifically framed. In these three lectures I will present areas that I have found of particular interest […]

The talk interweaves my perspective as the daughter of a Mexican immigrant Vietnam veteran with other stories of historical and mythic women responding to Vietnam and other forms of warfare—as warriors, widows, antiwar activists, and witnesses of violence. Drawing from the mythic figure of Hecuba, who committed herself […]

Schoff Memorial Lecture Series, Lecture III

Faculty House 64 Morningside Drive, New York

Photo by Jessica Collins During the decade of the First World War (1910-1920), African American philosopher, W.E.B. Du Bois, argued that white supremacy functioned both domestically and internationally to thwart the democratic political aspirations of the earth’s “darker peoples,” thus intensifying their vulnerability to anti-black mob violence, race-based economic exploitation, and the devastation wrought by the war itself.  During the same decade, Du Bois elaborated an aesthetics—a philosophy of beauty—that conceptualized beauty as a political force capable of supporting the struggle against white supremacy: of sustaining the moral resolve required to fight white supremacy and of undermining the grip of […]
