SUMMARY:"A Kingdom and a Village: A One-Thousand-Year History of Moscow"
DESCRIPTION:Simon Morrison discusses his new book with Renata Kapilevich. A Kingdom and a Village is an erudite and entertaining history of Moscow\, a city defined by its survival and reinvention\, and whose rich history offers crucial insight into contemporary global politics\n\nThe city of Moscow stands at the center of a nation comprising eleven percent of the globe’s landmass\, 11 time zones\, and nearly 150 million people\, some 13 million of whom live in the capital. In A Kingdom and a Village\, acclaimed historian Simon Morrison offers a vividly rendered history of Russia’s heart and soul\, tracing its transformation from a “big village”—the demeaning nickname the St. Peterburg nobility gave to its provincial neighbor—into a spectacular metropolis of vast geopolitical import. \nThat arc is the stuff of dramatic\, violent\, stranger-than-fiction historical narrative: the last century alone has featured invasions and costly battles\, the destruction (and reconstruction) of sacred cultural and religious landmarks\, and the collapse of the Soviet republic—not to mention the rise of an authoritarian leader who is a keen student of Russian history.  Drawing on a rich array of archival materials\, from the birchbark scrawls that record the oldest layer of Russian civilization to the articles in European newspapers heralding the opening of the magnificent Bolshoi Theater\, Morrison brings to life the bloody power struggles; cultural marvels; excruciating famines\, droughts\, storms\, and fires that have shaped and reshaped the city and reinforced its essential character. \nWith A Kingdom and a Village\, Morrison makes a persuasive\, even impassioned case that to understand Moscow is not only to unlock the mysteries of Russia’s past but also\, critically\, to grasp the grim logic of its present. It is a magisterial biography of a place and an essential guide to a people and a nation. \n  \n Simon Morrison is a professor of music and Slavic languages and literatures at Princeton University. He is a regular contributor to The Times Literary Supplement and London Review of Books and has written for Time\, The New York Review of Books\, and The New York Times. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and holds a PhD from Princeton University. \nRenata Kapilevich is a classically trained vocalist\, arts educator\, and communications strategist who brings a performer’s perspective to arts leadership and storytelling. She holds a degree in Vocal Performance from Westminster Choir College and a Master’s degree in Vocal Pedagogy from Boston Conservatory at Berklee. As a singer\, she has performed on stages including Carnegie Hall\, Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts\, David Geffen Hall\, and Madison Square Garden. \nRenata’s career spans performance\, arts education\, and communications at leading cultural institutions. At the Metropolitan Opera\, she served as Press Officer\, managing media relations and developing press coverage for productions\, artists\, and major initiatives including the Met’s Live in HD broadcasts and education programs. She currently serves as Engagement Manager for the Princeton University Department of Music\, where she leads the department’s marketing and communications strategy. In this role\, she oversees digital and print initiatives\, promotes the department’s academic and performance programs\, and develops new projects that strengthen connections between students\, faculty\, alumni\, and the broader community. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council\, The Fund for Canadian Studies\, and Labyrinth Books.

SUMMARY:"The Five Ages of Antifascism"
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Fronczak\, research scholar at Princeton University’s Department of History\, is joined in conversation with Shiri Pasternak about his new book from Cambridge University Press\, The Five Ages of Antifascism\, a global history of antifascism from its inception to our own times. \nThe book’s inspiration and subject of critique is a work of fascist history\, Robert O. Paxton’s classic essay “The Five Stages of Fascism.” Paxton influentially studied fascism by comparing national case studies and proposing a cycle of five developmental stages through which each national fascism might progress. Fronczak counters Paxton’s method of stages with one of ages: instead of organizing antifascism into national case studies going through stages\, he organizes antifascism’s global history into five ages\, stressing the transnational causes and solidarities that pushed global antifascism to take form and shift shape over time. Part of Cambridge’s “Elements in the History and Politics of Fascism” series\, a further aim of this book is to pose this history of antifascism as a counterhistory of fascism\, a sort of epistemological experiment for rethinking fascism’s history through a formulation of antifascism’s history. \nJoseph Fronczak is a historian who has primarily written on politics and ideology in the modern world. He has also written on aspects of capitalism\, labor\, empire\, the national security state\, and social movements. He is the author of two books: Everything Is Possible: Antifascism and the Left in the Age of Fascism and The Five Ages of Antifascism. Fronczak received his undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin and his Ph.D. in history at Yale University. He has been a faculty fellow at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University\, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University\, and a postdoctoral fellow in the Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard. \nShiri Pasternak is an associate professor in the Department of Criminology at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is currently serving at Princeton as Laurence G. Pathy ’56 Distinguished Visiting Professor in Canadian Studies and is teaching a course titled “The Long Arc of Fascism” for the Humanities Council’s Program in Humanistic Studies. Pasternak is the co-founder and former research director for the Yellowhead Institute\, an Indigenous-led think tank based in the Faculty of Arts at Toronto Metropolitan University. She is the author of the award-winning book Grounded Authority: The Algonquins of Barriere Lake Against the State\, published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2017. She has contributed to numerous essay collections and academic journals\, while also writing for The Globe & Mail\, Toronto Star\, and Canada’s National Observer. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Department of History\, The Fund for Canadian Studies\, and Labyrinth Books.

SUMMARY:Framing the Long Arc of Fascism with Naomi Klein and Aaju Peter
DESCRIPTION:Schedule\n4:30pm: Opening Remarks\n4:40pm: Aaju Peter\, Inuk lawyer and activist (joining virtually)\n5:00pm: Naomi Klein\, journalist and author\n5:40pm: Audience Q&A \nIn this keynote lecture\, Inuk lawyer Aaju Peter and journalist Naomi Klein will examine the historical throughlines and impacts of colonialism\, fascism\, and climate injustice. \nFirst\, Aaju Peter will address the shared struggle for Inuit sovereignty across Danish Greenland and Canadian Nunavut borders and how recent threats from Donald Trump impact Inuit self-determination. Naomi Klein will then trace the historical arc of fascism\, from colonial genocides to climate apartheid. She will explore how this resurgence is due to a faulty retelling of the story of European fascism as a rupture in modernity rather than as a throughline of racial capitalism. Finally\, she will argue that fascism does not simply repeat; it compounds\, but so does antifascism. \nThis lecture serves as the keynote for “The Long Arc of Fascism\,” a full day symposium on Friday\, April 10. \nThis event is free and open to the public.  \n\nNaomi Klein is an award-winning journalist\, columnist\, and the international bestselling author of nine books published in over 35 languages including No Logo\, The Shock Doctrine\, This Changes Everything\, No Is Not Enough\, On Fire\, and Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World which won the inaugural Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction in 2024. A columnist for The Guardian\, her writing has appeared in leading publications around the world. She is the honorary professor of Media and Climate at Rutgers University and is Associate Professor in Geography at the University of British Columbia where she is founding co-director of UBC’s Centre for Climate Justice. Her new book\, End Times Fascism: and the Fight for the Living World\, written with Astra Taylor\, will be published in September 2026. \n\nAaju Peter was born in Arkisserniaq\, a northern Greenland community. In 1981\, Aaju moved to Iqaluit\, in Nunavut\, Canada where she learned Inuktitut and English\, which has helped her succeed in her work as an interpreter. Her interests led her to the Arctic College where she took Inuit studies. Aaju has travelled in Greenland\, Europe\, and Canada performing lamp lighting ceremonies\, traditional Inuit songs\, and displaying sealskin fashions. Aaju graduated from the Akitsiraq Law School in 2005 and was called to the bar in 2007. She has been involved in documentaries such as Angry Inuk\, Tunniit: Retracing the lines of Inuit tattoos\, Arctic Defenders\, and most recently Twice Colonized. Today\, Aaju is advocating for Inuit rights to sea; and sealskin products as well as the Inuit right to be involved in issues related to Arctic waters. In December 2011\, Aaju received the Order of Canada for preserving and promoting Inuit culture. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Humanities Council and the University Center for Human Values.

SUMMARY:"Occupying Selves” or “How to be an Indian via Unciteable Pain”
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here. Reception to follow lecture. \nHow has trauma come to operate as a claim in the making of self? How is this element of a familial past been operationalized by the recent and ongoing revelations of “ethnic frauds” or so-called “pretendians”? What are the narrational and experiential raw materials that constitute the definitively Native self? Emerging as a near sociological fact\, the snippets and narratives of now-revealed fakes tend to a claim of trauma rather than relation. These claims fly in the face of Native modes of relationship to family\, to land and to political orders\, and undermine Indigenous systems of descent and governance while claiming\, obliquely\, gesturally\, to accord to them. What are the conditions that make for this imagining\, this fantasy– or rather to the apparent demand for a new departure point for and constitution of selfhood? This talk examines the invocation of trauma in the biographical accounts of well-known frauds to analyze both the content of these stories of self-making and its imbrications with race and gender. These are operations of a settler colonial society that no longer only claims lands\, but also claims selves\, and historical experiences\, as its own. \n\nAudra Simpson (Columbia University) is a political anthropologist whose work is focused on contextualizing the force and consequences of governance through time\, space and bodies. Her research and writing is rooted within Indigenous polities in the US and Canada and crosses the fields of anthropology\, Indigenous Studies\, American and Canadian Studies\, gender and sexuality studies as well as politics. Her recent research is a genealogy of affective governance and extraction across the US and Canada. \nHer book\, Mohawk Interruptus: Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States (2014\, DUP) won the Sharon Stephens Prize (AES)\, the “Best first Book Award” (NAISA) as well as the Lora Romero Award (ASA) in addition to honorable mentions. It was a Choice Academic Title for 2014. In 2010\, she won the School of General Studies “Excellence in Teaching Award.” In 2020 she won the The Mark Van Doren Award for Teaching from the Academic Awards Committee of the Columbia College Student Council.

SUMMARY:Sinews of the Soul: Comparing Christian Baptism and Indigenous Adoption
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reception following the lecture. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP Here. \nFor all of the real and important contrasts between them\, the Indigenous peoples and French Catholic colonists who encountered one another in seventeenth-century New France were both convinced that spiritual change was possible across cultural\, linguistic\, and ethnic lines.  Both saw religious belonging and cultural identity as being essentially behavioral – and thus volitional – rather than as an immutable ethnic given.  Both boasted powerful rituals that could effectively transform strangers into kin: positing a kind of symbolic rebirth or soul shift involving the reception of a new name and identity that literally and objectively re-made the individual concerned from “one of them” into “one of us.”  For Indigenous people\, this ritual was adoption.  For Catholics\, it was baptism.  This presentation will explore the many fascinating parallels between Indigenous adoption and Catholic baptism in seventeenth century New France\, and chart how these ceremonies of transformative incorporation were themselves transformed with the imposition of foreign blood quantum measurements as an index of Indigenous identity in the late nineteenth century. \n\n \nEmma Anderson graduated with a Ph.D. in American Religious History from Harvard University in 2005\, and has taught at the Department of Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Ottawa ever since.  An expert on the religious encounter between Catholic missionaries and Indigenous peoples in colonial North America\, she is the author of two award-winning books published by Harvard University Press. Her first book\, The Betrayal of Faith: The Tragic Journey of a Colonial Native Convert explores the momentous transatlantic transformation of an Indigenous boy\, Pierre-Antoine Pastedechouan.  Her second work\, The Death and Afterlife of the North American Martyrs critically re-examines the lives and deaths of eight slain Jesuits in the 1640s\, and probes the ongoing consequences of their veneration for Indigenous peoples. \nAs Pathy Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies\, Prof. Anderson teaches the Program in Humanistic Studies course\, Indigenous Peoples and Christianity\, and continues to write her current monograph-in-progress\, Dawn in the West: How the Thought of Indigenous People Ushered in Modernity\, which delineates the seminal impact of Indigenous perspectives upon Enlightenment philosophes. To read more about Anderson’s teaching\, publications\, and current projects\, please visit her website at www.emmajaneanderson.com.

SUMMARY:Getting to Net-Zero: A Canadian Perspective
DESCRIPTION:In-person attendance for Princeton University ID holders and invited guests; Livestream open to the public on MediaCentral. \nThe world needs to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century for a chance at limiting warming to less than 1.5°C. Last year\, the Canadian government followed the lead of other nations and legislated a goal of net-zero by 2050. Achieving this goal requires shifting from incremental to transformational approaches to public policy\, a challenge for a physically large country with decentralized governance and a substantial fossil fuel industry. In this talk\, I will discuss the Canadian approach to climate policy and the lessons for US climate action\, based on my work as a member of Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body\, created to advise the federal government on achieving its 2050 goal. \nBio: Simon Donner is a professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) whose research lies at the intersection of climate science\, marine science and public policy. He holds appointments in the university’s Institute for Resources\, Environment and Sustainability\, Department of Geography\, and Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries. He was as a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s recent Sixth Assessment Report\, and is the only climate scientist appointed to Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body. \nThis event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI).

SUMMARY:Celebrating Diversity in the Francophone World: Theos’ Choice
DESCRIPTION:The French Program will host the second public event of its Spring festival “Celebrating Diversity in the Francophone World”\, a discussion with Professor Thomas Cauvin\, Assistant Professor of Public History at Colorado State University and co-producer of the documentary “Theos’ Choice” (Le choix de Théo)\, a 2018 documentary film on French heritage and language revitalization efforts in Louisiana. \nThe documentary follows Theodore Brode\, a young Louisiana French teacher hoping to revive and preserve the French language in his community.

SUMMARY:Within & Without: Les Six at 100\, Musicology Conference
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years ago\, music critic Henri Collet christened a group of young composers as ‘les six Français’ in his column for the Paris daily Comœdia. Celebrating the lives and music of those artists—Georges Auric\, Louis Durey\, Arthur Honegger\, Darius Milhaud\, Francis Poulenc\, and Germaine Tailleferre—whose modern sound changed the course of French musical history after the death of Debussy\, this centennial conference offers us a chance to review and reconsider our understanding of this group and its members. The conference theme\, “Within and Without\,” will guide these reflections\, encouraging questions not only on the nature of the composers’ collective\, but also on their individual work in domains that might lie outside of the realm of strictly musical composition\, as well as such issues as exclusion\, influence\, and identity. \nSee a full description of the three-day conference and registration information here.

DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the critical interplay among settler colonialism\, Indigenous resurgence\, and the politics of climate justice. In the wake of a planet-wide movement riddled with idioms about “saving our home\,” where the ground is fast-shifting and the fate of humanity’s collective future is at stake\, there has been a tidal wave of interest in Indigenous knowledge(s) about the land\, water\, and sky—a desire to “capture and store” the intergenerational wisdom that speaks to the unpredictable path lying ahead. Still\, limited attempts have been made to theorize how conquest and persistent settler colonial violence necessarily factor into debates over the environmental crisis—this\, despite the creation of territories of material and psychic abandonment largely fueled by settlers and “settlement.” \n
