CEE NEWS #68

Six more weeks of winter, and people have still not been able to dig out from last week’s snowstorm.  I could embrace winter as long as it does not bring six more weeks of children being used as pawns, six more weeks of ICE killings, six more weeks of inflammatory and inaccurate proclamations, six more weeks of normalizing sexual violence, and six more weeks of intimidating people who gather to ask for governmental accountability.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Third thursday with laura kunreuther

For our February Third Thursday we will eat and enjoy refreshments while hearing from visiting researcher Laura Kunreuther, the Director of the Experimental Humanities program at Bard College, and Associate Professor of Anthropology. Laura will screen  portions of a research-based fiction film "The Bridge" and critically converse about the process behind the film and the pedagogical possibilities of creating classrooms with participants in the field. How might we think together about replicating this model of  classroom and research?
