SUMMARY:Key Passages Talk: Antidotes to Ageism in the Anthropocene: Generational Time and Multispecies Literary Ethnography
DESCRIPTION:Models of the passage from midlife to old age—from Freud\, Proust\, and Simone de Beauvoir to contemporary conversations about how old is too old to be an American president—disclose the ageism\, including internalized ageism\, rampant in our culture\, with aging figured overwhelmingly as decline. Today\, old age is imagined in terms of splitting: the good third age of incremental diminishment and the bad fourth age of unremitting medical catastrophe. What antidotes can alleviate the toxin that is ageism in the Anthropocene\, with older populations decidedly at risk? Stretching our capacity to comprehend and embrace generational time beyond three (human) generations is one way. Another is seeking kinship with other species that model longer life. Memoirs of ordinary realism\, another. Audience Q&A and a reception will follow. \nKathleen Woodward is Lockwood Professor of the Humanities and Professor of English at the University of Washington\, where she directs the Simpson Center for the Humanities. She is the author of Statistical Panic: Cultural Politics and Poetics of Emotions (2009) and Aging and Its Discontents: Freud and Other Fictions (1991) and the editor of Figuring Age: Women\, Bodies\, Generations (1999). Her essays in the cross-disciplinary domains of the emotions\, women and aging\, and technology and culture have been published in American Literary History\, Discourse\, differences\, and Indiana Law Journal\, among others. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Key Passages series and Idee Levitan Endowment

SUMMARY:Key Passages Talk: Black History's Warning to the World
DESCRIPTION:Resisting the tide of repression that threatens the teaching of Black history\, we should look to that past to understand the ongoing processes that have shaped our world. Our current predicament\, marked by extreme inequalities\, everyday violence\, militarism\, and political strife derives in part from the history of colonial conquest\, slavery\, and imperial warfare. Our struggles for freedom and dignity emerge from that history\, too. By understanding it\, we might discern the scope\, force\, direction\, and likelihood of the changes ahead—and be guided by the example and the wisdom of our ancestors. Audience Q&A and a reception will follow. \nVincent Brown is the Charles Warren Professor of American History and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. He has published two prize-winning books about the history of slavery: The Reaper’s Garden: Death and Power in the World of Atlantic Slavery (2008) and Tacky’s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War (2020). The author of numerous articles and reviews in scholarly journals\, he is also Principal Investigator and Curator for the animated thematic map Slave Revolt in Jamaica\, 1760-1761: A Cartographic Narrative (2013)\, he was Producer and Director of Research for the award-winning television documentary Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness (2009)\, broadcast nationally on the PBS series Independent Lens\, he was the executive producer and host for The Bigger Picture (2022)\, co-produced with WNET for PBS Digital Studios\, and he was executive producer\, writer\, and host for How Do You Remember the Days of Slavery? (2024).
