How do neighborhoods, sweaters and scarves, videotapes and queer bars hold ghosts? How do we let them go? In this 2-hour webinar, we will introduce the panel and the video, screen it together (70 mins), and then the panel of "AIDS workers" who are authors or editors from the collection "AIDS and the Distribution of Crises" (Duke University Press, 2020) will discuss their reaction, feelings and questions.
In 2016-17, SPCUNY alumni Alexandra Juhasz engaged in a daily practice for the first 100 days of a presidency, blogging about fake news and matters of civic decency, and as often as not sharing the page with friends and colleagues.
15-20 participants in that project (writers, poets, teachers, friends), will read old poems from "My Phone Lies to Me" @punctum_books 2022 (download for free!) or new poems on theme.
You are invited to come hear poems.
There will be time for discussion or the reading of more poems after the one-hour reading.
ONLINE Session
Lead by SPCUNY Faculty Fellow Esther Neff, OUR STUDIES SHOW stages collective philosophy as a form of theatre. Spring 2025 sessions will involve "theoretical dramaturgies" (scores for thinking and theorizing together) which re-phrase, re-frame, and re-iterate such inquiries, particularly in relation to "biological" vs. "cultural" senses of sex and gender, de-alienation and "settler surrender," and the role of doxastic logics (belief systems) in collective self-recognition. All welcome; registration required.
Hear from alumni and staff of SPCUNY about the Student Fellow program and get your questions answered for the 2025-26 application cycle.
