SUMMARY:Eric Sanderson's Guide to NYC’s Indigenous Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Hosted at the CUNY Graduate Center \n\n\n\n\nIn Before New York\, the famed ecologist Eric W. Sanderson provides the long-awaited sequel to his celebrated Mannahatta — a grand historical atlas of the natural region that became New York City. The culmination of more than 25 years of research\, this monumental work features 75 original maps\, 200 color illustrations\, and nearly 4\,000 detailed descriptions of streams\, wetlands\, rocks\, plants\, animals\, and Indigenous settlements\, from before the arrival of Henry Hudson in 1609 until the present day. \nWith the keen eye of a landscape ecologist and the storytelling power of a bestselling historian\, Sanderson reconstructs the natural geography of the city as it was in September 1609\, just before Henry Hudson’s arrival. Imagine what Hudson might have seen\, what the Lenape sachems cherished\, and what nature itself revealed — long before the arrival of concrete and steel. \nThis is a hybrid event. Join us in person or on Zoom (link to be provided).

SUMMARY:An Interview with Mieko Kawakami: An Owl Takes Flight at Dawn
DESCRIPTION:Mieko Kawakami is one of the most critically acclaimed contemporary authors on the planet and perhaps the foremost contemporary female author hailing from Japan. Born in Osaka\, Kawakami made her literary debut as a poet and published her first novella\, My Ego\, My Teeth\, and the World\, in 2007. Her books\, translated into over 40 languages\, are known for their poetic qualities\, insights into the female body\, and an immersion into the themes of ethics and modern society. Starting with her win of the Akutagawa Prize for Chichi to Ran and later with the International Booker Prize for Heaven and the National Book Critics Circle Award for All the Lovers in the Night\, she has broken major domestic and international barriers\, all while championing feminism through her work and life. Kawakami’s further works include Breasts and Eggs and Sisters in Yellow. \nMieko Kawakami will appear live at Japan Society conversation with Professor Amanda Seaman. This conversation will go through her career with an in-depth discussion of her major themes and books. It will be followed by a signing with the author.

SUMMARY:CBH Talk | Rebuilding American Democracy: The Path to a Functioning Government
DESCRIPTION:According to legal scholar and former White House official K. Sabeel Rahman\, American democracy faces a crisis that goes beyond elections\, polarization\, and partisan division. In his urgent new book\, Remaking the State: A New Blueprint for American Democracy\, Rahman argues that the health of our democracy depends on rebuilding the institutions of government themselves.  \nTaking aim at both the top-down model of the traditional administrative state\, as well as efforts to dismantle government altogether\, Rahman centers his consideration on what it takes to make government genuinely responsive to the public it serves. Drawing on his experience as one of the Biden administration’s top regulatory officials\, he asks us to reconsider not simply how much government we want\, but what we want government to be. \nJoin us for a timely discussion about government power and capacity\, inequality\, public trust\, and what rebuilding the machinery of American democracy might look like. New York Times economics reporter Talmon Joseph Smith leads the conversation.

SUMMARY:Asian Americans and  The Great Writ: Habeas Corpus  Yesterday and Today

SUMMARY:"Only You" in a Girl from Zanzibar: The 1980s\, Neoliberalism\, and the Soundtrack of Protest
DESCRIPTION:The 1980s: Thatcherism\, neoliberalism\, privatization\, and union strikes. If these are the British legacy of that period\, its soundtrack is synthpop. For this presentation\, R. Benedito Ferrão\, the 2026-2027 CUNY Thomas Tam Visiting Professor\, “listens” to a pivotal scene in Roger King’s continent-spanning novel A Girl from Zanzibar (2001)\, hearing in it Yazoo’s “Only You” (1982). It is the score to the fraught nature of infrastructural changes brought on by the Thatcher regime\, manifested in the dichotomy of luxury homes built in the wake of the privatization of government properties. This is precisely how King’s Goan-Arab protagonist\, Marcella D’Souza\, achieves her immigrant dreams\, only to have them dashed with the discovery that she is an undocumented migrant from a former colony. Employing an intermedial approach between literature and music\, Professor Ferrão also relies on the Flying Pickets’ cover of “Only You” (1983/84)\, an acapella version linked to political theatre and improvisational strategy around mining strikes. In thus employing a sonic history\, Professor Ferrão contends that when heard alongside King’s novel\, “Only You” lyrically and historically signals infrastructural change in the 1980s while striking a note of resistance. \nTalk will be followed by a reception.
