4/21/18: Quick Reminders, Class 4/23/18 & Invites

Hi All,

Quick reminder that this Monday we'll be joined byDr. Andrew Sparks, he is Laura's husband, has worked extensively in the K-12 and higher education in both New York and Philadephia, and along with Peter Buckley will be teaching the second half of 100&Cooper this coming fall 2018. We've heard a bit from Eva, Ariana, Kiersten, Taesha, and Casey regarding topics covered this first semester by Nicholas Tampio.

We'll also have a presentation from Faye and next week one from Cecilia. If anyone would like a bit of space outside the class go around to share in presentation form or otherwise please let us know and we can account for it in the coming weeks.

Thanks to folks who were able to help coordinate and come along to yesterday's Archive Club & Foundation Walk-Thru with Katie Blumenkrantz and David Gersten. We've run various forms of this encounter over the years and likely will continue to workshop the who/when/where and maybe grab mic'd headset for whoever is leading the tour... pix at the bottom!

Finally, I mentioned to a few of you that Casey & I will briefly be on a panel centered around the idea of the 'Archive' later today at the New School, it is right below Union Square and part of a day of public programming celebrating the Vera List Center's 25th Anniversary. I recommend the panels featuring the other fellows as well if you are free or in the area!

How does the necessarily selective nature of an archive bracket and determine what can and will be remembered of our pasts and how does this shape our futures? Who has the capacity to intervene in such structures and what are some contemporary methodologies for doing so? Vera List Center Fellows Wendy Ewald, Casey Gollan, Victoria Sobel,Jonathan Weinberg join in a conversation moderated by Vera List Center Curator Amanda Parmer to think through these questions and their relationships to agency, conviviality, and desire.
