Alongside China’s rapid economic growth and urbanization, the country has witnessed an unprecedented wave of rural-to-urban migration. Educating this large population poses considerable challenges to the nation’s household registration (hukou)–based education system. Addressing the educational needs of migrant children is not only essential for promoting social equity and cohesion, but also carries profound implications for China’s long-term economic development and social progress. Since the central government issued a 2001 directive requiring destination cities to provide public education for migrant children, their access to urban schools has improved substantially, however, reforms related to high school admissions have progressed more slowly. This lecture addresses the data gathering structure created by the author and examines how these policies influence family migration decisions and the educational outcomes of migrant children.
Chen Yuanyuan is Vice Dean and Chair Professor of the School of…

Futurisms and the African Now: Tech for Development and Democracy
Free and open to the public. Registration required.
In this talk, Dr. Reginold Royston will discuss technology and role of Pan-Africanism in the fields of international development, diaspora and politics in Ghana and beyond. Royston's new book Pan-African Futurism examines the state of IT for development work in this critical moment of "post-aid” drawing from his ethnographic research with programmers, artists and entrepreneurs on the continent since 2010. The book charts the explosion of mobile Internet across Africa during the early 2000s, growing interest in African tech entrepreneurship as a development driver, and the flowering of digital diasporas in the time since, especially in the creative fields of Nollywood and AfroBeats. Royston describes how Ghana's Pan-African futurists advocate entrepreneurship and civil society activism as a means of “hacking” the kinds of socio-economic development work that has long been advocated by NGOs. He will discuss how the controversial ideas of Afropolitanism and…

Augustine of Hippo (354–430), also known as Saint Augustine, was one of the most influential theologians in history. His writings, including the autobiographical Confessions and The City of God, helped shape the foundations of Christianity and Western philosophy. But for many centuries, Augustine’s North African birth and Berber heritage have been dismissed. Catherine Conybeare puts the “African” back in Augustine’s story. As she relates, his seminal books were written neither in Rome nor in Milan but in Africa, where he had returned as a wanderer during a perilous time when the Western Roman Empire was crumbling. Using extant letters and other shards of evidence, Conybeare retraces Augustine’s travels, revealing how his ground-breaking works emerge from an exile’s perspective within an African context. In its depiction of this Christian saint, Augustine the African upends conventional wisdom and traces core ideas of Christian thought to their origins on the African continent.

Book Talk: 'Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy: Sexual Disorientation in the Films of Tsai Ming-liang' with Nicholas de Villiers
In Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy: Sexual Disorientation in the Films of Tsai Ming-liang (University of Minnesota Press, 2022), Nicholas de Villiers contends that we need to theorize both queer time and space to understand Taiwan-based director Tsai Ming-liang's cinematic explorations of feeling melancholy, cruisy, and sleepy. Building on those arguments, this presentation starts with a reading of Tsai’s short film It’s a Dream (2007)—set in a movie theater in Malaysia—as a microcosm of Tsai’s themes and motifs of sleep/dreaming, cruising, nostalgia, and the space of the cinema. It then addresses Tsai’s “post-retirement” (after 2013) films and museum installations, including the queer Teddy award-winning digital feature film Days (Rizi, 2020) shot in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and the short film The Night (2021) shot in Hong Kong in 2019. Both were featured in the solo exhibition Tsai Ming-liang’s Days at the Museum of National Taipei University of Education (MoNTUE) in 2023, experimenting with "expanded…

Book Talk: Mark Letteney – Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration
Join us for a talk with Mark Letteney on his new book: Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration, co-authored by Matthew D. C. Larsen.
This book examines spaces, practices, and ideologies of incarceration in the ancient Mediterranean basin from 300 BCE to 600 CE. Analyzing a wide range of sources—including legal texts, archaeological findings, documentary evidence, and visual materials—Matthew D. C. Larsen and Mark Letteney argue that prisons were integral to the social, political, and economic fabric of ancient societies. Ancient Mediterranean Incarcerationtraces a long history of carceral practices, considering ways in which the institution of prison has been fundamentally intertwined with issues of class, ethnicity, gender, and imperialism. By foregrounding the voices and experiences of the imprisoned, Larsen and Letteney demonstrate the extraordinary durability of carceral structures across time and call for a new historical consciousness around contemporary practices of incarceration.

Join us for a talk on Miriam Udel's new book: Modern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children's Literature, hosted by the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, a group of Yiddish-speaking educators, authors, and cultural leaders undertook a bold project: creating a corpus of nearly one thousand books and several periodicals, which flourished in conjunction with the secular Yiddish school systems that spanned the globe in the 1920s and 30s. These vibrant texts cut across continents and ideologies but shared in their creators’ overarching goal: to write into being a better world, a shenere un besere velt—in a distinctively Yiddish key. The question of what a “better world” looks like is, of course, inextricably bound up in questions of political vision. Investigated as an archive, the stories, poems, and plays written for children during the early twentieth century furnish a novel record of the movements—geographic and ideological—that made Ashkenazi Jewry fully…

Free and open to the public. Registration encouraged.
Since the early 2000s, literary scholarship has read Hebrew and Arabic literatures together to find moments of transgression or trespass, challenging logics of partition. In Static Forms: Writing the Present in the Modern Middle East, Shir Alon develops an alternative model for reading Arabic and Hebrew literatures, as two literary systems sharing a remarkably similar narrative of modernization and developing parallel literary forms to address it. In this talk, Alon will discuss the potentials of a paradigm grounded in formal and affective analysis for new understandings of transnational modernism, Middle Eastern literatures, and comparative literary studies at large. She will also explore the limits of this approach, when parallel readings of Hebrew and Arabic literatures obfuscate rather than clarify the conditions of the present.
Shir Alon is assistant professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Her work on…

Our question to consider: what does the work of Indira Allegra offer us when thinking about the project of liberation?
This program is part of the Liberation Book Club at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery. This year-long program series hopes to honor our commitment to social justice and to gather our community to think about the work of liberation through shared texts, art, film, music, conversation, and workshops. Unlike your traditional book club all the reading and study happens together, so no need to prepare. Join us monthly as we approach the topic of liberation from a number of perspectives. We look forward to being in community with you.
