The Henry J. Leir Institute for Migration and Human Security (Leir) invites you to Visualizing Migration and Human Security in Türkiye.
Türkiye hosts the largest refugee population in the world, and it sits at the crossroads of Europe’s busiest migration routes. How did its borders harden from open thresholds into some of the most policed pathways on earth? And how has Türkiye turned migration itself into diplomatic leverage over the European Union?
Join the Fletcher student team as they present an interactive StoryMap tracing the journeys from the eastern mountain passes to the chokepoints of the Aegean, and discuss what a map-based, story-driven approach reveals that conventional analysis misses.

Tufts University Events - events.tufts.edu
University campuses occupy significant tracts of land with contested histories of enclosure, aesthetic management, and institutional control. At Tufts, the transition from a working agricultural commons to a landscaped campus mirrors patterns documented across higher education, raising questions about what forms of access, stewardship, and shared governance remain possible on institutional land. Drawing on the commons governance framework of Elinor Ostrom and over a decade of large-scale social practice, artist Mary Mattingly will present her work on public food access, including Swale, a floating food forest in New York City's waterways that contributed to the city's first edible public foodway and introduce a proposed agroforestry installation at Tufts. The project would bring edible perennial plantings and participatory decision-making into the campus landscape, asking what it means for a university to act as steward of a living commons rather than as landowner.

Tufts University Events - events.tufts.edu
At the intersection of the research developed in two of his books, Lawn, published last year by Bloomsbury, and Avant-gardeners, forthcoming with Prestel, the lawn and the garden emerge as cultural forms through which to rethink the relationship between art and nature. As a monoculture, the lawn suppresses biodiversity, demands water, fertilizers, pesticides, and repeated mowing, while offering no hospitality to animals and other forms of life. A rooted manifestation of outdated colonial and patriarchal ideals of order and normativity, the lawn conceals histories of exclusion and extraction, making the garden’s unrulier, more relational forms of cultivation all the more politically significant. The recent interest in gardening as an artistic practice constitutes a form of dissent against the extractive logics that have impoverished soils and reduced the living world to resource or passive backdrop. Many contemporary artists are now working with the vegetal world, unsettling the categories of artwork and proce…

Arnold J. Kemp: Artist Lecture-Performance

Join Tufts University Art Galleries and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) at Tufts MFA Program for an artist lecture with Fall 2026 exhibiting artist Arnold J. Kemp. Arnold J. Kemp will reprise a 2023 performance lecture he developed after his first encounter with N. H. Pritchard’s poems in the Johnson Publishing Library, Chicago. Kemp will bring together recent scholarship and dynamic performance in honor of Pritchard’s innovative approach to poetry, sound, and visual art.
Norman Henry Pritchard (b. 1939, Manhattan, New York; d. 1996, Pennsylvania) was one of the most formally innovative poets of the 1960s and early 1970s. Affiliated with downtown literary and art circles, he was a member of Umbra, a collective of Black writers and musicians on the Lower East Side, and a regular at Greenwich Village’s Cedar Tavern. Pritchard published two collections of poetry in his lifetime (The Matrix, Poems: 1960–1970 (Doubleday, 1970), and Eecchhooeess (New York University Press, 1971), which were both…

Tufts University Events - events.tufts.edu
As climate change drives rising seas and stronger coastal storms, communities are facing difficult decisions about where—and whether—to rebuild. Across Massachusetts and around the world, a growing strategy known as managed retreat is challenging the idea that every shoreline can, or should, be protected forever. Instead, it asks a difficult question: When is it time to move?
This talk explores one of the most controversial topics in climate adaptation: relocating people, infrastructure, and development away from areas at greatest risk. This talk will provide real-world examples that explain why managed retreat is gaining attention, the social, equity, and environmental challenges it raises, and how thoughtful planning today can help create safer, more resilient communities for the future.

At a moment of significant political change in the United States and around the world, the Frontiers of Democracy 2026 convening will explore the essential elements of democratic process, policy, and partnership. Drawing on global, historical, and youth perspectives, and using the framework of generous listening, we will examine the intersections of political pluralism, activism, and academia—and consider how to meet this pivotal moment in history.
While this framing guides our conversation, the convening is not limited to a single theme. Sessions will also engage with topics central to Tisch College’s north star: building robust, inclusive democracy for an increasingly multiracial society.
The agenda will feature concurrent breakout sessions, keynotes, plenary sessions, and networking opportunities,…

[ENVS] Pipeline Pedagogy: Prioritizing American Indian Peoples in Addressing Environmental Crisis
Tufts University Events - events.tufts.edu
In the United States, non-Indigenous (non-American Indian) peoples articulate this environmental jeopardy within the privileges of stolen American Indian lands and worlds. Their articulations of climate change and various other related phenomena (e.g. data centers) are both out of conversationwith American Indian peoples and non-responsible to the sovereignties and complexities of American Indian nations and communities as they (American Indian peoples) remain the preeminent sufferers of environmental poisoning and dismemberment within the United States. Using examples from his research in the Lumbee community, in/around MIT, and (increasingly) in Maine, David will begin to place American Indian peoples up front within communicative and policy processes that address environmental poisoning. This placement, which he labels “pipeline pedagogy” shines a bright light on American Indian peoples as both the first (and continual) victims of environmental poisoning and key stakeholders in business and political…

[ENVS] Community-based scaling for innovations in sustainability
Tufts University Events - events.tufts.edu
Society currently faces many, interconnected and accelerating sustainability challenges. We also have many innovative solutions that, if rapidly scaled, could help address these challenges. But most solutions do not scale or, if they do, only do so at rates that cannot keep up with intensifying problems. What if scaling could be accelerated through strategies that work? We’ll use an interactive, dynamic model of community-based scaling approaches to explore when this strategy is needed, how it works, and why it can be far more effective than outreach, advertising, or word-of-mouth scaling approaches. We’ll explore how community-based scaling has been used to innovations in sustainability education, regenerative agriculture, and political movements. The model and its initial application are described by Rooney-Varga et al. (2024).

[ENVS] After the Flush: Rethinking the Future of Human Waste
Tufts University Events - events.tufts.edu
What happens when the modern toilet goes flush? Where does this waste go and what eventually becomes of it? Who is responsible for its management and who is implicated in its afterlives? And is it all just waste or might it be something more? This talk, based on Kawa’s new book of the same title, draws on long-term ethnographic research in the American Midwest to investigate these questions while also considering more radical alternative approaches to sanitation and ways of relating to bodily excess.

[ENVS] Climate, food, and power: Lessons from now, directions for the future
Tufts University Events - events.tufts.edu
There is widening gap between large-scale decision-making and on-the-ground realities of food insecurity. Drawing on experience that spans secondary analyses of environmental and health data alongside small-scale, community-based research, Khristopher draws from his experience at high-level decision-making forums—from IPCC expert meetings to COP30— which often diverge from community needs and lived experience. The presentation reviews findings from community-based work in small island settings, outlines the magnitude of global climate-related nutrition challenges with key statistics, and illustrates relevant mechanisms linking human and planetary health through food systems. Although climate is used as the primary lens in this talk, similar gaps emerge whether the driver is the food economics, policy, or agriculture, underscoring a central concern for global food security.
Campus: Medford/Somerville campus. Location Details: Curtis Hall Multipurpose Room,
474 Boston Avenue. Open to Public: Yes. Speaker Name: Dr. Khristopher Nicholas, Assistant Professor of Agriculture, Food and Environment at Tufts University. RSVP Information: https://tufts.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UgZMSddaSF-ZOalxvUKt7g.
