Wounds for Posterity: More-than-Human Experiences of War in Colombia
Wounds for Posterity: More-than-Human Experiences of War in Colombia, Thursday April 25, 4:30-6pm, Thomson 101, War is an experience wherein suffering extends beyond the people, provoking a form of collective harm that is embodied by the other-than-human beings and the sentient places that compose the traditional territories of Indigenous and Afro-Colombian peoples. Following the premise that war, just as everyday human life, is always a multispecies effort, I explore what justice means and how it can be achieved in regions where colonialism, state violence, and militarism entangle human and other-than-human lives in a shared vulnerability. Daniel Ruiz-Serna is Faculty Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at McGill University. He works at the intersection of Indigenous ontologies, peace and conflict studies, and environmental justice. His book When Forests Run Amok. War and its Afterlives in Afro-Colombian Territories (Duke University Press) received the 2023 Julian Steward Award for the Best Book…

Anton Hur, "Translator Jetlag: Voice and the World We Build" |Translator's Lecture
What do we mean when we say a character or an author—or even a translator—has a “voice”? What is the difference between a work of prose that has a voice and one that doesn’t? And how do translators bring a “voice” to life? In this talk, Anton Hur will examine the idea of voice in literary translation. He will focus on the practice of “triangulation,” or the zeroing in on a narrative voice, and “translator jetlag,” or the tendency for translators to require periods of adjustment between book-length projects defined by different narrative voices.
Anton Hur is the author of Toward Eternity and No One Told Me Not To. He is a prolific translator of numerous books, including the bestseller by and about the Korean boy band BTS. His translation of Bora Chung’s Cursed Bunny was shortlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize and the 2023 National Book Award for Translated Literature.
Anton Hur's work will be available through Third Place Books, which has a comprehensive selection of Anton Hur’s translations…

Learn more about the Winter 2025 CHID study abroad program, "Legacies of Empires: Power and Diversity in Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia."This program interrogates the ongoing legacies of colonialism and imperialism in Europe and the contemporary world. How are the frameworks we use to understand racialized, excluded, and marginalized people born from those legacies? In this program we will evaluate some of the methods individuals and groups use to generate and interpret knowledge about themselves and about others, analyzing the limits inherent in those systems. Working with Romani artist and activist Vicente Rodriguez Fernandez, we will explore these ideas through the lenses of cultural studies, literature, and political activism.

TALK | Our Enemies will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence with Yaroslav Trofimov
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war’s decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to more recently the gruelling and bloody arm wrestle involving the Wagner group over Bakhmut—to show how Ukraine and its allies have turned the tide against Russia, one of the world’s great military powers, in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath. Putin had intended to conquer and annex Ukraine with a vicious blitzkrieg, redrawing the map of Europe in a few short weeks with seismic geopolitical consequences. But in the face of this existential threat, the Ukrainian people fought back, turning what looked like certain defeat into a great moral victory, even as the territorial battle continues to seesaw to this day. This is the story of the epic bravery of the Ukrainian people—people Trofimov knows very well.
For Trofimov, this war is deeply personal. He grew up in…
