Bucket List: Topics of Our Times

One of the greatest perks of an Ivy League education is having all sorts of guest lecturers and talks hosted right on campus. Yet many of these great talks are not publicized enough. Enter Bucket List, a new weekly feature that aggregates these events in a single location that will hopefully make you realize, like Bwog has, how special our campus is. Our recommendations for this week are below; the full list is after the jump. Dig around, who knows what you’ll find!

  • March 1: “Environmentalism as a Bridge to Peace in the Middle East,” “The Millennium Cities Initiative: Rethinking the 21st Century African City,” “ROOTEd – Where’s the BTQ in LGBTQ?”
  • March 2: “Seeking New Knowledge About the Earth – An Overview of Research at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory,” “The Role of Nuclear Weapons in the 21st Century – China, Russia, and the United States,” “A Celebration of the Life and Work of Professor Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi,” “A Bedouin’s Perspective on Israel,” “Dhoom Open Practice”
  • March 3: “The Protest Psychosis: How Schizophrenia Became a Black Disease,” “Mothers for Sale: The Women of Kolkata’s Sex Trade,” “Reproductive Justice in Action”
  • March 4: “Counting the Dead,” “We Look Like the Enemy,” “Family Homelessness: A Multi-System Dilemma,” “The Ivory Tower: A History of an Idea about Knowledge and Politics,” “Conducting Survey Research Online: Promises and Pitfalls,” “Reduce, Reuse, and Return for Kitchen Cabinet”
