• On Tuesday, February 8, at 10 am is The Nuclear Suppliers Group: Its Future in a Low-Carbon World. The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is a group of nuclear supplier countries that seeks to contribute to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons through the implementation of two sets of guidelines for nuclear and nuclear-related exports. The Center on Global Energy Policy will host two panels of experts to discuss past NSG activities as well as current policy topics confronting the group. This event is an online webinar, with registration required to attend.
• On Wednesday, February 9, at 6:15 pm is Hugo Hamilton in Conversation with Colm Tóibín. This online event includes a reading and discussion with Hugo Hamilton and Colm Tóibín. Hamilton will read from his new book, The Pages, which dramatically illuminates the connections between past and present as it looks at censorship, oppression, and violence. Interweaving the past and present with characters real and imagined, the novel tells the story of Joseph Roth, an Austrian Jewish author, and the survival of a single copy of his book, Rebellion. Registration for the webinar is required.
• Also on Wednesday, February 9, at 4 pm is an in-person event, Effective Energy: The “Equicratic” Politics of Solar Technology from Wall Street to West Harlem. Lecturer Myles Lennon will speak on sustainable energy policy and climate mitigation infrastructures and their impacts on different communities in New York City. This talk will take place at Diana LL03 on the Barnard campus, with entrance restricted to BC and CU affiliates.
• On Thursday, February 10, at 12 pm is an online book talk for Stalin’s Millennials: Nostalgia, Trauma, and Nationalism by Tinatin Japardize. Stalin’s Millennials examines Joseph Stalin’s increasing popularity in the post-Soviet space, and analyzes how his image, and the nostalgia it evokes, is manipulated and exploited for political gain. Through a combination of sociopolitical commentary and autobiographical elements that are uncommon in monographs of this kind, the book explores how Joseph Stalin’s complex legacies and the conflicting cult of his irreconcilable tripartite of personalities still loom over the region as a whole. Registration for this online event is required.
• Also on Thursday, February 10, at 6:30 pm, the Union Theological Seminary celebrates Black History Month with a Zoom webinar about the life of Rev. Absolom Jones, the Episcopal Church’s first African American priest. Dean Kelly Brown Douglas will host a panel discussion about the life of Rev. Jones and his significance to the Church and nation today. Registration for the online event is required.
