No where else in the world can you find the range of disciplines in one school. Over the last 50 years as we forged new programs, built our home in New York and expanded to our global academic centers, institutes emerged. Each are built with shared values, common goals, and a priority for putting students first. The result – a place where artists and scholars create the future.
Women have been part of global and historical movements of people, to escape war, to avoid persecution, for work, for security. Women have been uprooted, stolen, trafficked, enslaved; they have been displaced from land despoiled of resources and habitats lost to extreme weather patterns and climate change. In these 7th and 8th sessions of the eight-part series, we will continue to explore the importance of photography, art, film, history, law, policy and writing in identifying and remembering these migratory experiences. Speakers will include Jennifer Bajorek, Bridget Cooks, Michèle Pearson Clarke, Ana Teresa Fernandez, Carolina Mayorga, Muna Muhammad, Roshini Kempadoo, Laylah Amatullah Barrayn, Peju Alatise, and Qiana Mestrich.
