Tuesday March 26
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Join us for the opening of "Groundings," the final of four exhibitions on the theme of Care and Climate Justice, and a roundtable discussion with artists from the exhibition series: Shanequa Benitez, Emily Johnson, Courtney Desiree Morris, Sarah Rosalena, Laia Cabrera, and Isabelle Duverger. Through their diverse lenses, the artists will discuss ways of thinking, sensing, and responding to our environmental crisis beyond the registers of urgency and anxiety that dominate current discourse. They will also consider the ways that art relates to questions of care and justice under the conditions of racial capitalism and settler colonialism. Care in this sense includes practices of grief, remembrance, attention, slowness, kinship, and expansive imagination and storytelling in anticipation of other futures. This series is co-curated by Sarah Hamill and Izzy Lockhart and supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation to teach climate justice across the humanities at Sarah Lawrence and Bronx Community College.

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
In conversation with Philipp Nielsen, history faculty and the Adda Bozeman Chair in International Relations, Jodi Rudoren, Editor-in-Chief of "The Forward" and former bureau chief of the "New York Times" in Jerusalem, will discuss the role of American media in shaping U.S. perceptions and politics towards the Middle East. The current war in Gaza is also a war for and against media coverage. The very language used to describe the events, "war," "conflict," "genocide," Israel and Gaza, Israel and Palestine, Israel and Hamas, is contested and has different political and legal implications. How to describe and contextualize the attack of October 7 remains controversial. The conditions of the war itself create material problems for reporting. Scores of Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza, while access for international journalists is still restricted. At the same time, American and European media coverage has been criticized for being biased, devoting significantly more space to stories about Israeli victims since October 7 than to Palestinians. Classic conspiracy tropes of Jewish control of the media are surfacing on the fringes of the discourse as well. Rudoren became Editor-in-Chief of "The Forward," the nation's leading Jewish news outlet, in 2019. Before coming to the Forward, she spent 21 years as a reporter, editor, and digital innovator at The New York Times, including a tour as Jerusalem Bureau Chief, where she led coverage of two wars in Gaza. This event will be held on campus and is open to the public to attend in person or virtually. A Zoom link will be provided to virtual registrants within 24 hours of the event.

Brian Christian is an acclaimed author and researcher whose work explores the human implications of computer science. He is best known for his bestselling series of books: "The Most Human Human," which uses his experience as a human "confederate" in the Turing test to examine what chatbots reveal about the nature of language and communication; "Algorithms to Live By," with Tom Griffiths, which applies computational principles to everyday human decision making; and "The Alignment Problem," a nuanced investigation of the ethics and safety challenges confronting the field of AI and a portrait of the community of researchers working to address them. Christian's writing has been translated into 19 languages, and has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Wired, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Paris Review, and in scientific journals such as Cognitive Science. His work has won several literary awards, including fellowships at Bread Loaf, Yaddo, and MacDowell, publication in Best American Science & Nature Writing, and an award from the Academy of American Poets. He has been a featured guest on The Daily Show, The Ezra Klein Show, and Radiolab, and has lectured at Google, Meta, Microsoft, Yale, the Santa Fe Institute, and the London School of Economics. He has advised business executives as well as Cabinet Members, Parliamentarians, and administrators in five countries about matters ranging from decision making to AI. This event is free and open to the public. Guests are invited to join Brian Christian and the college community on campus or via Zoom.
