In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

17 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 17, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 17, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

The Impact of Four Years of Warfare on Ukraine

17 Apr 2026 13:15:00 GMT

CGIS South Building
Room S020, Belfer Case Study Room
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 17, 2026, 9:15 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Russia’s war against Ukraine recently entered its fifth year. The effects of the war in both countries cannot be fully assessed until the conflict ends, but at this point there is no doubt that four years of warfare — the largest European conflict since 1945 — have produced far-reaching changes in Ukraine, the Russian Federation, and Western organizations.

This workshop focuses on the changes the war has already brought about in Ukraine in several crucial areas:  (1) politics and state-building; (2) the international position of the country; (3) the army and defense industry; (4) the economy; (5) religions and languages; and (6) demography. Leaders of their respective fields will discuss the nature of these changes, and their presentations will be reviewed by designated commentators and then debated in two general, open sessions.

Harvard and the American Revolution

17 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 17, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

17 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 17, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Co-curated by Christine Jacobson, Associate Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts, and Dale Stinchcomb, Drue Heinz Curator of Literary and Historical Manuscripts at The Morgan Library & Museum.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the film with it which it as if it is to be, which takes its title from Gertrude Stein's poetry and features women’s artmaking processes. Building on this, as well as further research and her long photographic practice, this tour provides a deeper engagement with the artists' materials and practice.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

17 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 17, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

2026 Prather Lecture Series: Neil Shubin, "Fossils, Genes, and the Origin of Limbs"

17 Apr 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Northwest Labs Building, Room B103
52 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 17, 2026, 1 – 2 p.m.

Tetrapod limbs are characterized by three developmental and anatomical compartments: stylopid (upper arm or leg), zeugopod (forearm or foreleg) and autopod (wrists, ankles and digits). Fossils reveal that all three segments are present in the Devonian ancestors of tetrapods. While extant fish do not have the anatomical equivalents of these regions, antecedents exist at the genetic level. For example, Hox gene expression, regulation and 3D chromosomal organization reveal equivalents in fish and suggest scenarios for their origin.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

18 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Sat., Apr. 18, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

In South Korea, the term apʻatŭ—derived from the English “apartment”—designates a high-density, vertical residential building which may include both owned and rented units, and is also a site of both intense communal bonding and friction. Merging the unique spatial dynamics of apʻatŭ life with a sharp feminist perspective, the film challenges the patriarchy that has long dominated Korea, turning the building's roof into a stage for solidarity and resistance.

Released in the wake of South Korea’s 1997 financial collapse—marked by a $58 billion IMF bailout and seismic economic restructuring—The Quiet Family follows a seemingly ordinary family’s descent into serial crime; the secluded inn they run becomes a paradoxical space: at once a container that keeps their mounting violence within the boundaries of their family network, and an incubator that breeds further transgressions that must be literally buried.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 20, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

20 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 20, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Co-curated by Christine Jacobson, Associate Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts, and Dale Stinchcomb, Drue Heinz Curator of Literary and Historical Manuscripts at The Morgan Library & Museum.

The Cold War and the Mystery of An Anti-Stalinist Intellectual: Josef Guttmann's Two Lives

S354, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 20, 2026, 4:30 – 6 p.m.

Jacques Rupnik's book delves into the mystery of Josef Guttmann, a Marxist intellectual and a leading figure in the Czechoslolvak Communist Party, who split with the party over the Soviet Union's strategy that helped bring Hitler to power in1933. The Czech historians who in 1968 helped rehabilitate Guttmann's name had no idea of what had happened to him after he left the country at the end of 1938. Nor did exiled historians from Czechoslovakia know anything about his fate when they were asked about him in the late 1970’s and early 1980s. Conversely, U.S. scholars of Soviet affairs and Guttmann’s former colleagues at the Library of Jewish Information of the American Jewish Committee in New York, where Guttmann worked as a researcher during most of his life in the United States, had no idea about Guttmann's role as a member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party leadership in the early 1930’s.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

21 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 21, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 21, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

21 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 21, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

How Young Georgians See the Future and What We Must Learn

21 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Tue., Apr. 21, 2026, 10 – 11:30 a.m.

When the Rose Revolution took place two decades ago, young Georgians envisioned a European future. But then, an oligarch captured the state. They consolidated economic power, restricted civil liberties, and gave up on a democratic future. When universities dissented, the government threatened to dismantle or defund them. And when Georgians came out to protest, the government decided to use violence against its own citizens.

This webinar is a conversation with young Georgian scholars and activists, who have themselves experienced and resisted the entrenchment of authoritarian rule in Georgia. Focusing on the future, it aims to paint a picture of the constraints and opportunities that they face today, and to articulate a vision for a better tomorrow.

As protests continue in Georgia, is this story becoming part of a wider wave of youth-led protest movements that have emerged across the globe in the last year?

Adolphus Busch Hall at Cabot Way

Tue., Apr. 21, 2026, 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Ayelet Shachar discusses the outward expansion of the border in the context of EU policy ("externalization") and the inward intrusion of the border we have recently been witnessing in the US. She will examine the theoretical framework developed in her influential book, The Shifting Border (Manchester University Press, 2020), which analyzes current legal developments in comparative perspective, and explores the increased use of surveillance technology to highlight tensions between territorial conceptions of sovereignty and the near-unbounded reach of actual bordering activities. Placing significant strain on basic legal assumptions about the border as clearly demarcated—a solid line on the map— the destabilizing effects of the shifting border not only erode and “displaces” constitutional rights and international human rights but also contributes to democratic backsliding and intensifying disputes over who counts as a member of the political community.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

21 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 21, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Whose Genes? What Genes Can (and Can’t) Explain About Life

21 Apr 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Geological Lecture Hall
24 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 21, 2026, 6 – 7:30 p.m.

What exactly is a gene? What can genes really tell us about the evolution of life and human beings? These are some of the questions behind Whose Genes?–a project funded by the Harvard President’s Building Bridges Fund. Drawing on interviews with Harvard faculty and questions gathered from the broader community, the project explores both shared ground and points of debate in contemporary genetics, bringing together diverse perspectives on one of biology’s most enduring and contested questions: How do genes shape organisms, identities, and evolution? Join us for a public conversation around this question. Audience members are invited to complete this short anonymous survey in advance and to bring their own questions about evolution, inheritance, and the limits of genetic explanations.

Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5:00 pm.

Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History, one of the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture, with support from the Harvard President's Building Bridges Fund, and the Herman and Joan Suit Lecture Fund.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

22 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 22, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 22, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

22 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 22, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

22 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 22, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Co-curated by Christine Jacobson, Associate Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts, and Dale Stinchcomb, Drue Heinz Curator of Literary and Historical Manuscripts at The Morgan Library & Museum.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

22 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 22, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

The Impact of 4 Years of Warfare on the Russian Federation (Part I)

22 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Wed., Apr. 22, 2026, 12 – 2 p.m.

Russia’s war against Ukraine entered its fifth year. The effects of the war in the two countries cannot be fully assessed until the conflict ends, but at this point, there is no doubt that four years of warfare — the largest European conflict since 1945 — have produced far-reaching changes in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Western organizations. This two-day workshop focuses on the changes the war has already brought in Russia in four crucial areas: (1) politics and ideology; (2) the armed forces and state security organs; (3) the economy; and (4) demography and population movements. Lead-off speakers will discuss the nature of these changes, and their presentations will be reviewed by designated commentators, who will then debate them in open sessions with the online audience.

The Literary Legacy of Julius Margolin, Gulag Veteran and Public Intellectual

S354, CGIS South
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 22, 2026, 4:30 – 6 p.m.

One of the earliest essential contributions to the corpus of Gulag literature is "Journey into the Land of the Zeks", the memoir of Julius Margolin, a Russian/Polish/Israeli writer who had been imprisoned in Soviet labor camps for five years and, managed to leave the USSR in 1946, as part of the repatriation of Polish citizens after World War II. Margolin’s book, long recognized for its literary merit, and for its testimonial function, represents the Gulag through the eyes of a liberal Western intellectual. The book’s fate was thorny, possibly because of what some of the readers perceived as a clash between the author’s protest against labor camps and his concern with (among other issues) specifically Jewish fates. An astonished outsider in the camps, Margolin remained a partial outsider in Israel, a Russian intellectual, recognized and listened to by narrow circles of the audience, which, however, proved to be indomitably faithful.

A book talk and discussion with author Darya Tsymbalyuk, Assistant Professor at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Committee on Environment, Geography and Urbanization (CEGU) at the University of Chicago

Winner of the 2025 Kovaliv Prize in Nonfiction/History

Russia's war on Ukraine has not only destroyed millions of human lives, it has also been catastrophic for the environment. Forests and fields have been burned to the ground, animal and plant species pushed to the brink of extinction, soil and water contaminated with oil products, debris, and mines.

In this poignant book, Ukrainian researcher Darya Tsymbalyuk offers an intimate portrait of her beloved homeland against the backdrop of Russia's war and ecocide. In elegant and moving prose, she describes the damage to the country's rivers, the grasslands of the steppes, animals, insects, and colonies of birds, as a result of Russia's ground and air operations.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

23 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

23 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

23 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

23 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Replicating Bias: What AI Sees — and What It Misses

23 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 12 – 1 p.m.

Join us for a conversation with Michelle Greene, assistant professor of neuroscience & behavior and psychology, as she shares insights from her recent research published in Nature Humanities & Social Sciences Communications on socioeconomic bias in artificial intelligence. Based on an analysis of nearly one million images from Airbnb listings across 200 countries and every U.S. county, Greene examines how AI systems used for scene recognition are less accurate in lower-income areas and more likely to assign harmful or stigmatizing labels. The event will explore what these patterns reveal about how AI “sees” the world, the real-world consequences of biased systems, and approaches to developing fairer, more representative AI that can also inform design practices in technology and the built environment.

The Impact of 4 Years of Warfare on the Russian Federation (Part II)

23 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 12 – 2:30 p.m.

Russia’s war against Ukraine entered its fifth year. The effects of the war in the two countries cannot be fully assessed until the conflict ends, but at this point, there is no doubt that four years of warfare — the largest European conflict since 1945 — have produced far-reaching changes in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Western organizations.

This two-day workshop focuses on the changes the war has already brought in Russia in four crucial areas: (1) politics and ideology; (2) the armed forces and state security organs; (3) the economy; and (4) demography and population movements. This part of the workshop segment will begin with a 15-minute presentation on the most important changes in that area, followed by one or two 5-minute commentaries.

Filing the Justice Gap: Yazidis, Universal Jurisdiction and International Law

23 Apr 2026 16:15:00 GMT

WCC B015
18 Everett St.
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 12:15 – 1:15 p.m.

What happens when justice is dispersed across multiple jurisdictions and forums? What are the potentials and limitations of these cases in addressing crimes against the Yazidis?

Through a conversation with Harvard Law Professors Alex Whiting and Ioannis Kalpouzos, we will examine universal jurisdiction cases, corporate accountability, the future of international criminal law, the role of international tribunals. The panel will be moderated by Nariman Salem Hame (LLM ’26).

For context, in 2014, ISIS attacked Yazidi villages in Sinjar, killing, capturing, and internally displacing populations. The situation remains dire. The city of Sinjar, the Yazidis’ ancestral homeland lies largely in ruins, with few having returned. ISIS’ atrocities against Yazidis took place primarily in Iraq and Syria. Yet neither Iraq nor Syria has ratified the Rome Statute or given ad hoc consent to the International Criminal Court (ICC). A patchwork of proceedings based on universal jurisdiction as well as corporate accountability cases have emerged throughout the world to fill the justice gap.

The Holocaust, Nazi Germany, and the War on Bolshevism: Reexamining the Causes of World War Two

23 Apr 2026 16:30:00 GMT

CMES Room 102
38 Kirkland St.
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 12:30 – 2:30 p.m.

Jochen Hellbeck is the Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University, specializing in modern Russia, the Soviet Union, and the history of World War II. Hellbeck is the acclaimed author of "Stalingrad: The City That Defeated the Third Reich", "Revolution on My Mind: Writing a Diary under Stalin", and the online project Facing Stalingrad. Now in "WORLD ENEMY NO. 1: Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia and the Fate of the Jews" (Penguin Press; on sale October 21, 2026), Hellbeck transforms our understanding of WWII as he traces the conflict and its most infamous crime, the Holocaust, to Germany’s implacable hostility toward Soviet Russia. "WORLD ENEMY NO. 1" is the first major work of history to describe the war from both the German and Russian side and the interactions between both, as opposed to only following one nation’s experience. To tell this revisionist history of WWII, Hellbeck had rare access to the most important, never-before-seen Soviet wartime documentary trove, which contained hundreds of oral histories of life under Nazi occupation as well as photographs.

In the West, WWII is commonly understood as the Allies’ struggle against Nazism. Often elided, if not simply forgotten, is the Soviet Union’s crucial role in that fight. Hellbeck rectifies this omission by relocating the ideological core of the conflict. It was not the Western powers but Communist Russia that Nazi Germany viewed as an existential threat—in fact, “World Enemy No. 1.” Jewish revolutionaries, the Nazis believed, had seized power in 1917 and were preparing the Soviet state to destroy Germany and the world. And so, on June 22, 1941, a German army of three million attacked the Soviet Union to exterminate Hitler’s cardinal obsession: “Judeo-Bolshevism”. While Europe’s Jews were expelled, exiled, and persecuted by the Nazis, Soviet Jews were immediately slated for elimination. Soviet lands thus became ground zero for systematic extermination, which was only later extended to all Jews, igniting the Holocaust.

Hellbeck expertly reconstructs the years leading up to the war when “Europe against Bolshevism” was the Nazis’ most fervid rallying cry, and documents their annihilatory ambitions on the battlegrounds in the East. Widely disseminated accounts of German atrocities mobilized millions of Soviet citizens to join a people’s war against the hated invaders. Hellbeck tracks the desire for revenge that drove the Red Army on its path of reconquest, an advance that further inflamed the belief in a murderous “Bolshevik Jew,” stirring the Germans to fight to the bitter end. Recounted here in vivid detail are the events at Babi Yar, the Battle of Stalingrad, the liberation of the concentration camps, and the arrival of the Red Army in the Nazi capital. Finally, Hellbeck reckons with the West’s persistent disregard of the Soviet Union’s incalculable contribution to winning the war—and its sacrifice of twenty-six million citizens—as anti-communism and the Cold War turned erstwhile allies into mortal enemies.

By mining the newly declassified archives and previously undiscovered sources—testimonies, diaries, and dispatches from soldiers and civilians, Soviet and German— Hellbeck, who himself is West German by birth and a Russian historian by training — offers a unique history that takes account of both sides. Groundbreaking and eye-opening reading for understanding the root causes of the war, "WORLD ENEMY NO. 1" will no doubt be an essential reading in the cannon of World War II literature.

Jochen Hellbeck is Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University, specializing in modem Russia, the Soviet Union, and the history of World War II. The recipient of fellowships from the New York Public Library Cullman Center, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the American Academy in Berlin, among others, he is the acclaimed author of "Stalingrad: The City That Defeated the Third Reich", "Revolution on My Mind: Writing a Diary under Stalin", and the online project Facing Stalingrad.

Reading Group: Psychedelics Beyond Psychedelics

23 Apr 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Conference Room, CSWR, 42 Francis Ave., Cambridge, MA 02138
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 3 – 5 p.m.

This group meets, Thursdays, 2/5, 2/19, 3/5, 4/2, 4/16, 4/30
Registration is required.
Please register to attend each session.

The Psychedelics Beyond Psychedelics Reading Group invites participants to explore expansive understandings of transcendence, healing, consciousness, and connection through and beyond the use of psychedelic substances. Engaging themes such as war, AI, madness, clowning, childbirth, and death, we interrogate and reimagine what constitutes the “psychedelic” within the field of psychedelic humanities. Rooted in queer, feminist, ecological, Indigenous, and decolonial perspectives, this group offers a collaborative space for exploration, critical questioning, and integration of our own experiences and communities. This reading group brings together students, staff, faculty, and members of the broader community to learn with and from each other.

Facilitators include:
LILA GLENN RIMALOVSKI is an MDiv candidate at Harvard Divinity School studying the relationship between eco-spiritual practice and movements for land justice. Her research explores the spiritual technologies that awaken and sustain ecological belonging and reparative action, specifically for diasporic Jewish and Euro-descendant peoples. Working with Jay Michaelson, JD, PhD, Lila helped produce the 2025 Psychedelics in Monotheistic Traditions Symposium at Harvard Law School. Lila is a Salata Institute Climate Leader, Radcliffe Institute Grantee, and Aleph Fellow at The Shalom Center.

PAULA ORTIZ is a third-year Master of Divinity student at Harvard Divinity School. Her research explores the intersections of expanded states of consciousness, the sonic imagination, and relational ontologies. She previously worked as a Ketamine Integration Chaplain at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital. Paula has a background in filmmaking and social and environmental impact. She was a Watson Foundation Fellow and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art and Philosophy from Hamilton College.

EMILY MARIE LIPPOLD CHENEY I have identified as a sacred medicine practitioner for two decades, though I am increasingly questioning the assumptions that framing carries. More directly, I bring both personal and professional experience in working with a variety of substances (e.g., psychedelics) and practices (e.g., erotic play) as pathways for engaging the unseen and the unmeasurable. I am currently pursuing a Master of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School, seeking to bring the expertise and knowledge I have cultivated into conversation with practitioners and scholars across disciplines and traditions.
My current and forthcoming research projects include an investigation of psychedelic sex workers in the Bay Area, supported by the Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard, as well as an exploration of the intersections of eroticism, psychedelics, and mothering. Most importantly, I am the mother of a brilliant and delightful almost-three-year-old.

Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 4 – 5 p.m.

France’s far-right party Rassemblement National (National Rally) is the country’s most popular political party. Led by Jordan Bardella, Marine Le Pen's young protégé, the party is likely to win power in the 2027 national presidential and legislative elections.

Victor Mallet, author of the new book Far-Right France: Le Pen, Bardella and the Future of Europe (Hurst, 2026), has spent years reporting from all over France to analyze the rise of the country’s far right and compare it to a broader pattern of right-wing mobilization across continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Join Mallet to discuss what a Le Pen–Bardella victory in 2027 could mean for France’s domestic institutions, the future of the EU, and Europe’s liberal internationalist world view — as well as for France's transatlantic relationship with Europe and the U.S.

Study Group with Chrystia Freeland: Navigating Trade, Security, and Human Rights with China in the Age of a Strained Transatlantic Alliance

Institute of Politics, Harvard Kennedy School
79 JFK St.
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 4 – 5 p.m.

Few people have experienced the collision of geopolitics and diplomacy more directly than Michael Kovrig. Detained in China for nearly three years as part of the Meng Wanzhou affair, Kovrig emerged with rare insight into authoritarian statecraft, great power competition, and the vulnerabilities — and strengths — of open societies. In conversation with Chrystia Freeland, he reflects on what his detention revealed about China's strategic calculus, the resilience of democratic institutions, and what the transatlantic alliance must do to compete in an era defined by rivalry, coercion, and contested rules.

AUDIENCE: These conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address.

From SPAM™ to K-Pop: The Korean War and the Rise of Modern South Korea

23 Apr 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Geological Lecture Hall
24 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 23, 2026, 6 – 7 p.m.

South Korea has recently jumped onto the global stage through its economic rise and export of popular culture. Drawing on their new book, The Forgotten Home Front: Roger Marshutz’s Photographs of Pusan, South Korea, 1952–1954 (Peabody Museum Press and KMEC Books, 2026), coauthors Lisa Barbash and Sean Kim will visually explore a key moment of transition in the development of South Korea: the Korean War (1950–1953). This conflict ruptured Korea’s traditional and colonial past and ushered in new political, economic, and cultural opportunities—under American influence—that have shaped modern South Korea. By examining this moment of change through photography, the lecture illuminates South Korea’s rise from a war-torn peninsula to an economic powerhouse and global cultural trendsetter.

Copies of The Forgotten Home Front will be available for purchase and signing following the program.

Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5:00 pm.

Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture in collaboration with the Harvard Korea Institute.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

24 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 24, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 24, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

24 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 24, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

24 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 24, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Co-curated by Christine Jacobson, Associate Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts, and Dale Stinchcomb, Drue Heinz Curator of Literary and Historical Manuscripts at The Morgan Library & Museum.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

24 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Fri., Apr. 24, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Tarr made a dramatic stylistic and critical breakthrough with this brooding and visually striking study of desolation and betrayal set in small-town Hungary, tracing the cruel love triangle that emerges between a taciturn loner, a nightclub singer and her smuggler husband. The first of five features written with novelist Lázló Krasznahorkai and structured around the haunting minimalist music of Mihály Vig, Damnation—with its decaying factories, dingy bars and bleak, expressionistic landscapes—introduced the dark, rainy and irretrievably melancholic realm that is arguably Tarr’s greatest creation.

“A man should live any way he wants,” comments samurai Kiyokawa (the charismatic Tanba Tetsuro); “what else is there?” Assassination resembles Pale Flower: both films map out a strange and fascinating transitional territory between traditional genre cinema and a more critical, free-wheeling mode. The storytelling of Assassination is baroque, using numerous flashbacks from various characters’ points of view.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

25 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Sat., Apr. 25, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 27, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

27 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 27, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

27 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 27, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Co-curated by Christine Jacobson, Associate Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts, and Dale Stinchcomb, Drue Heinz Curator of Literary and Historical Manuscripts at The Morgan Library & Museum.

Human Relationships in an Artificial World

Thompson Room, Barker Center
12 Quincy St.
Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 27, 2026, 4:30 – 6 p.m.

The intellectual framing of this panel begins from a long-standing insight in philosophical and social thought: that human identity and moral life are formed through encounter and interdependence—through how we live and build relationships with others. As generative AI systems increasingly shape how people learn, work, seek companionship, and experience solitude, we ask: what happens to human relationships when technologies can meet us in the very forms of interaction through which those relationships have traditionally been constituted? How might the availability of fluent, responsive, non-human interlocutors reshape the value we place on the effort, vulnerability, and reciprocity required by relationships with other humans—and, in turn, our understanding of the human condition itself?

Institute of Politics, Harvard Kennedy School
79 JFK St.
Cambridge
Mon., Apr. 27, 2026, 5:30 – 6:45 p.m.

Before a nominee ever sits at the witness table, a quiet machinery has already been at work: identification, interviews, vetting, the choreography of a public announcement, and the behind-the-scenes effort to tee up a hearing on favorable terms. This session walks through that full confirmation process, from the moment a name is announced to the vote that seals it.

The centerpiece is a live confirmation hearing for a top national security post, with student participants playing senators pressing the nominee on local issues, state priorities, and whatever else they can use to extract a commitment or create a moment. You'll see the art of the nonanswer in action, learn the unwritten rules that separate nominees who survive from those who don't, and walk away with an understanding of what it actually takes to get confirmed in today's polarized Senate.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

28 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 28, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

28 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 28, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

28 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 28, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

28 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 28, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Co-curated by Christine Jacobson, Associate Curator of Modern Books and Manuscripts, and Dale Stinchcomb, Drue Heinz Curator of Literary and Historical Manuscripts at The Morgan Library & Museum.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

28 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 28, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Historians often assume that Jews have lacked political power since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, and that this only changed with the creation of the state of Israel. But this narrow understanding of political power—one that emanates from state sovereignty alone—represents a misunderstanding of Jewish history, and the history of minoritized communities more broadly...

Analyzing Post-Soviet Reforms and Reform Proposals: Results of Comparative Research, Part 2

CGIS South Building, Room S050 (Thomas Chan-Soo Kang Room)
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 28, 2026, 4:30 – 6 p.m.

The Initiative for Analyzing Post-Soviet Reform Proposals, led by Davis Center visiting scholar Irina Busygina, enters its second year. It examines and compares current institutional reforms and reform proposals advanced by ruling elites, opposition groups, and external actors in former Soviet republics, applying a specially developed matrix. Last year, the initiative presented three case studies of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Moldova. You can watch the recording here.

This year, the initiative's research team will present their first round of key findings — on Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. In this seminar, presenters will share the findings of a comparative analysis of the main goals of reforms, the role of the Soviet legacy, the role of external factors, and the cleavages between conservative and reformist elites in the selected cases. The discussion will focus on the approaches taken by reformers in various post-Soviet countries: what they focus on and why, and what they leave out.

European Politics Seminar — The Rise of the French Far Right and Its Impact on Transatlantic Relations

Adolphus Busch Hall at Cabot Way
27 Kirkland St.
Cambridge
Tue., Apr. 28, 2026, 5 – 6:15 p.m.

From 1940 to 1945, the German author and Nobel laureate Thomas Mann delivered a series of antifascist radio addresses broadcast into Germany by the BBC while he lived in exile in California. In his early Deutsche Hörer! (German Listeners!) speeches, Mann urged Germans to resist fascism by appealing to their humanistic heritage. However, as evidence of Nazi barbarism and widespread German compliance mounted, Mann shifted his rhetoric, arguing that while not all Germans were guilty of Nazi crimes, all shared responsibility.

Join Elaine Chen and Jan-Paul Sandmann as they explore how Mann’s rhetorical strategy reflected a parallel evolution in his understanding of patriotism and the civic duties that love of country demands of its citizens. At the beginning of the war, when Mann appealed to the better nature of his fellow citizens, he frequently invoked the humanistic legacy of figures such as Schiller and Goethe—individuals revered by Germans, including the Nazis. He reminded his listeners that there was nothing Schillerian or Goethean about committing unprecedented acts of violence against vulnerable minority groups. However, after 1942, Mann’s rhetoric shifted: he expressed patriotism not by celebrating Germany’s achievements, but by subjecting notions of Germanness and German greatness to rigorous critique. Chen and Sandmann argue that this critical stance arose not from hatred of his fellow citizens, but from his love of Germany and his desire, ultimately, to expose and eradicate the roots of contemporary fascism.

In his early speeches of Deutsche Hörer! (German Listeners!), Mann pleaded with Germans to resist fascism by reminding them of the humanistic heritage.

He reminded his German listeners that there was nothing Schillerian or Goethean about committing acts of unprecedented violence against vulnerable minority groups. However, when Mann’s rhetoric changes post-1942, he displayed patriotism not by lauding Germany’s accomplishments, but by subjecting notions of Germanness and German greatness to a process of rigorous critique. Chen and Sandmann will argue that this process of critique did not emerge from Mann's hatred of his fellow citizens but from his love of Germany and his desire, ultimately, to see the sources of contemporary fascism unearthed and eradicated.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 29, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

29 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 29, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

29 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 29, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Reading Group: Transcendentalism

29 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Common Room, CSWR, 42 Francis Ave., Cambridge, MA 02138
Wed., Apr. 29, 2026, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

This group meets on Wednesdays, 10-12 pm (1/28, 2/11, 3/4, 3/11, 3/25, 4/8)
Registration is required.
Please register to attend each session.

American Transcendentalism emerged in the mid-1800s from New England Unitarianism and European Romanticism. It distinguished itself by rejecting convention, challenging traditional religious doctrines of authority and election, opposing dominant philosophies, discarding genteel literary styles, and defying political complacency regarding slavery, gender inequality, and disenfranchisement. At Harvard, Transcendentalists were seen as mystics, misfits, rogues, and dissidents. Their refusals, however, sparked a social movement based on friendship and collaboration, united by a radical spirituality promising personal renewal and social transformation. This reading group invites participants to explore both sides of that legacy. We'll focus on Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller in the fall, and on figures including Bronson Alcott, Theodore Parker, Orestes Brownson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, and Caroline Dall in the spring.

RUSSELL C. POWELL is a research affiliate at the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School. He has held teaching positions at Boston College, Amherst College, and Princeton University. Russell is currently completing a book manuscript focused on Ralph Waldo Emerson's relevance to modern ecological thought, particularly as an architect of the concept of “nature” and its religious and political resonances in the United States. He is also an associate editor of the Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature, & Culture. He sits on the advisory board of the Forum on Religion and Ecology at Yale University.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

29 Apr 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 29, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Please register to attend on Zoom.

Join Maia Kotrosits, author of After Transformation (Duke, 2025), and Madeline Vosch, author of Undead (Beacon Press, 2026), for a reading and discussion of their new books, each of which explores the history and texts of early Christianity through self-writing, blurring the distinctions between the sacred and the profane. How do the themes and traces of ancient Christianity live on in our experience and the texture of the everyday? What written forms best hold the collision of the personal, the historical, and the structural? Can memoir become a cultural-historical archive of its own?

Maia Kotrosits is an expert in first through fifth-century Christianity. She received her PhD from Union Theological Seminary in NYC in 2013, has since taught at Amherst College and Denison University, and is currently a researcher with Harvard's Center for the Study of World Religions. She is also the author of The Lives of Objects: Material Culture, Experience, and the Real in the History of Early Christianity (Chicago, 2020) and History, Theory, and the Study of Religion in Late Antiquity (Cambridge University Press, 2023).

Madeline Vosch, a writer and professor, graduated from Harvard Divinity School in 2018. A recipient of a Fulbright grant, she was also an Aspen Words Emerging Writer in 2020 and 2021, and is an alumna of the Tin House Summer Workshop. She contributed translations to the poetry collection The Scar We Know(Cicada Press, 2021). Her work has appeared in The Washington Post, The Rumpus, and The Offing, among others. An excerpt of her first book, Undead (Beacon Press, 2026), was selected as the winner of the Ploughshares Emerging Writer Contest in 2021.

Seminar on European Development in a Historical Perspective — Religion as a Political Double-Edged Sword

29 Apr 2026 19:30:00 GMT

Adolphus Busch Hall at Cabot Way
27 Kirkland St.
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 29, 2026, 3:30 – 5 p.m.

How can religion shape politics in opposite directions? Felipe Valencia Cailcedo argues that people's proximity to historical religious legacies affects their level of support for right-wing populist parties. Using municipality-level data from Europe, he demonstrates that people who live close to historical Crusade routes demonstrate greater support for anti-migration parties after jihadist attacks involving European citizens. In contrast, people living close to pilgrimage routes tend to show more tolerance and are more compassionate to migrant deaths along migration routes.

Join Cailcedo as he explores the ways Christianity carries both exclusionary and inclusive traditions, and how different shocks can activate these competing legacies in contemporary politics.

Ilse and Leo Mildenberg Memorial Lecture: Gods? Beasts? Warriors? Interpreting the Imagery of Celtic Coinages

29 Apr 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy St.
Cambridge
Wed., Apr. 29, 2026, 6 – 7:15 p.m.

Celtic coins present a remarkable world of varied, often fantastic images. The earliest coinages were generally close copies of Hellenistic coins from the Mediterranean world, but gradually they developed a distinct visual language. Elements of the original prototypes were adapted or became disjointed; because these were combined with new elements, the resulting designs can be difficult to understand today. Different regions also followed different iconographical traditions, leading to a wide variety of designs. In a later phase, the arrival of Rome on the political stage led to the re-appearance of coinages with a classical look, particularly in Britain.

In this lecture, David G. Wigg-Wolf, of Leicester University, will trace the iconography of Celtic coins, from its origin to its later development, and will interpret their visual language and sociopolitical role.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

30 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 30, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

AI Companions as Hyper Attachment Objects

30 Apr 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Thu., Apr. 30, 2026, 5 – 6 p.m.

AI is beginning to move from tool to social presence. A new generation of systems—often called AI companions—is designed not just to help us accomplish tasks, but to build ongoing, emotionally meaningful relationships with us. These systems are highly personalized, always available, and often strikingly empathetic, leading some users to treat them less like assistants and more like confidants, partners, or companions. In this talk, Julian De Freitas argues that we need a new framework for understanding these bonds. He proposes that AI companions function as hyper attachment objects: unusually powerful attachment targets because they combine qualities rarely found together elsewhere, including responsiveness, validation, nonjudgment, reciprocity, and constant availability. Drawing on qualitative, experimental, longitudinal, archival, and legal evidence, he shows that AI companions can fulfill some of the core functions of attachment relationships: people seek them out in distress, feel comforted by them, miss them when they change or disappear, and use them as a source of confidence in navigating the broader social world. Understanding AI companions as hyper attachment objects offers a new lens for making sense of both their promise and their peril, with implications for research, design, clinical practice, law, and public policy.

"The Long Way Home": Mysticism as a Dimension of Human Experience

30 Apr 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Common Room, CSWR, 42 Francis Ave., Cambridge
Thu., Apr. 30, 2026, 5 – 7 p.m.

Registration is required.
Please register to attend both days.
You must be able to commit to the two days of the workshop.

A two-part seminar led by Michael Prettyman, CSWR Artist-in-Residence
What if the deepest thing you’ve ever felt has been felt by others, but named differently? This two-part seminar invites participants to explore mysticism as a recurring dimension of human experience across cultures and traditions. Drawing on ancient sources and contemporary theological reflection, the seminar approaches mysticism not as a system of belief, but as a mode of inquiry grounded in lived experience. Combining theory and practice, each session pairs guided discussion with simple exercises and visualizations designed to sharpen attention and help participants recognize and translate their own creative impulses. The seminar is shaped by the conviction that creativity is not something we simply produce through force of will, but something already present within us, which can be allowed, cultivated, and brought more fully into form. In this sense, mystical traditions offer not only conceptual frameworks, but practical resources for nurturing and harnessing the creative potential that often remains hidden or inhibited.

Please note: registration is required, and participants are asked to attend both sessions, as each builds on the other.

No prior background is required. The Long Way Home is for thinkers, skeptics, and seekers—anyone curious about the deeper structures of human experience, and willing to take the inward journey seriously as a way of returning more fully to the world.

Session I: Inward Attention and the Space of Emptiness
The opening session serves as both orientation and entry point. We begin by tracing the emergence of “mysticism” as a category and introducing the idea that self-knowledge and knowledge of reality arise together. Drawing on early traditions from India and Nepal alongside Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, and Taoist sources, we explore non-dual awareness, interior silence, and the notion of emptiness—not as absence, but as openness, capacity, and the relational space that allows anything to appear at all.

Session II: The Dark Night, Love, and Creative Return
The second session turns to the unfolding of the inward path within the conditions of lived experience. What happens when clarity meets doubt, fear, or the loss of certainty? Engaging the idea of the “dark night of the soul,” we consider these moments not as failures, but as integral to transformation. Love is approached not sentimentally, but as a sustained form of attention and courage that keeps the path alive when insight alone is not enough. The seminar concludes by exploring creativity as something sacred in itself: not merely an act of production, but an ongoing way of attending, receiving, and returning more fully to the world. Mystical insight, in this view, becomes a way of clearing space for what is already latent within us to take form.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

01 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Fri., May 1, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Fri., May 1, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

01 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., May 1, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Thanks for Typing: Women’s Type Labor in Literature and the Arts

01 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Houghton Library
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., May 1, 2026, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

From the poems of Emily Dickinson to Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita," many of the masterworks of modern literature were originally written by hand, then typed. But their creators were rarely the ones to type them. This work was performed by typists—usually women—working for love, money, or both. Largely uncredited, this labor has generally been undervalued and misunderstood, with the typists seen as mere conduits for the writing that passed through their hands.

Recent scholars have started to challenge these assumptions about typists and their work. Borrowing its title from a 2021 essay collection edited by Juliana Dresvina, the exhibition Thanks for Typing builds on this scholarship, drawing on the collections at Houghton Library to spotlight typists’ contributions to literature, theater, film, and dance. In addition, the exhibition puts typists in context by showing the technical skill required for their work and exploring portrayals of typists in popular culture.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Fri., May 1, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

And rather than framing the Aral case as a uniquely Soviet story, it will consider what we can learn from it, as we confront similar cases of shrinking bodies of water around the globe.

Sun., May 3, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Harvard and the American Revolution

04 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., May 4, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Borrowed Voices: Indigenous Rights, Representation, and the Crisis of Legitimacy in Global Governance

CGIS South Building, Room S010 (Tsai Auditorium)
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Mon., May 4, 2026, 5:30 – 7 p.m.

Over the past decades, Indigenous peoples have gained access to international institutions, from the United Nations system to Arctic governance forums. These developments are widely understood as a significant achievement in advancing participation. Yet they rest on a powerful assumption: that representation, once recognized, continues to reflect the communities in whose name it speaks.

This lecture examines that assumption through the case of Russia. It shows how representation can remain institutionally intact while the conditions that sustain its independence are fundamentally altered — and why Indigenous peoples, long hidden in domestic political space, have acquired growing significance for the state’s global positioning, particularly under conditions of geopolitical tension and selective engagement with international commitments. The lecture also raises the question of legitimacy in an emerging landscape of Indigenous political activity beyond Russia’s borders.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Tue., May 5, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

PON Live! Book Talk — Never Settle: Persuasion and Negotiation Skills to Get What You Want

05 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Tue., May 5, 2026, 12 – 1 p.m.

In this webinar, negotiation experts Attia Qureshi and John Richardson will share insights from their new book, Never Settle: Persuasion and Negotiation Skills to Get What You Want. Drawing from decades of experience teaching at Harvard and MIT, as well as incorporating insights gathered from FBI hostage conflict resolution strategies and work with the U.S. State Department to negotiate with Colombian drug cartels, they outline actionable strategies to negotiate with confidence, no matter the circumstance.

Rather than focusing only on concepts, Qureshi and Richardson provide actionable tools and exercises designed to help people strengthen their negotiation reflexes in low-stakes environments. In this session, they will provide guidance on how to:

Build trust through reciprocity.
Understand your own interests—and the other party’s—clearly.
Craft multiple win-win outcomes through creative problem solving.
Practice saying “no,” even when it’s uncomfortable.
Manage rejection and failure (and even seek them out!).
Leverage a good deal into future successes.

Effective negotiation does more than improve your daily life and relationships; when done correctly, it can make the world a better place.

Harvard and the American Revolution

06 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., May 6, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

06 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Wed., May 6, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes.

Věra Chytilová’s second most famous work is perhaps her aesthetically wildest. Shot on the heels of Daisies (1966), Fruit of Paradise retells the origin myth of Adam, Eve and Satan amidst the opulent spring foliage of a prehistoric spa. Exploiting Eastmancolor to its limits, Chytilová and director of photography Jaroslav Kučera open the film with a hypnochromatic bravura of movement, montage and multiple exposure, which sets the terrain for an Edenic comedy-thriller absurd and universal in equal measure.

An unjustly forgotten treasure of the Czech New Wave, Squandered Sunday was shot in 1969 (only months after Warsaw Pact tanks invaded Prague) and did not see the light of day until the end of communism. FAMU graduate Drahomíra Vihanová chronicles a day in the life of depressed alcoholic army officer Ernest, whose existential despair, anxiety and directionless anger paint a sharp contrast to the exuberant, colorful satires one might be accustomed to from '60s Czechoslovakia.

Funeral Parade of Roses / Land of Silence and Darkness

24 Quincy St.
Cambridge
Sat., May 9, 2026, 2 – 5:10 p.m.

Matsumoto Toshio' queer New Wave masterpiece, FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES captures the intoxicating nihilism of 1960s counterculture by treating nothing as sacred, mixing styles, genres and tones. “I am a wound and a sword, a victim and an executioner,” declares Eddie, a mesmerizing transgender woman whose presence both anchors and complicates a world where characters and actors slip between roles that bleed into one another.

LAND OF SILENCE AND DARKNESS, Herzog’s first feature and one of his purest, most self-defining works revolves loosely around Fini Straubinger, a woman who lost sight and hearing as a teenager and spent decades confined to bed before becoming an advocate for deaf-blind people.

Sat., May 9, 2026, 7 – 8:20 p.m.

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders sees post-‘68 Czech cinema move firmly into surrealism, spiritualism and the occult. Thirteen years young at the time of filming, Jaroslava Schallerová embodies the titular protagonist with intrigue and wisdom, anything but childlike in the array of violent, disturbing incidents she is forced to endure. Made during Czechoslovakia’s era of repressive normalization after the shock and promise of 1968, Valerie retains a steadfast commitment to imagination and the transformative powers of fantasy, even as it abandons this world for the higher domains of faith, ecstasy and the supernatural.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

10 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Sun., May 10, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., May 11, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Corporate Reckoning: How Businesses Can Address Historical Wrongs

11 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Mon., May 11, 2026, 12 – 1 p.m.

Survivors and descendants increasingly demand accountability from governments, universities, museums, seminaries, and corporations for historical harms. While business leaders may know how to fix failing products or teams, many are unprepared to address legacies of mass atrocity such as slavery, genocide, or colonialism. Some deflect responsibility, arguing their actions were legal at the time or that too much time has passed; others simply lack a clear path forward.

In this webinar, Sarah Federman offers a practical approach for responding to these calls for reckoning. Drawing on her book Corporate Reckoning (MIT Press, 2026), she introduces an atonement model grounded in case studies across industries, regions, and historical contexts.

Although demands for reckoning may ebb and flow, these histories persist. Confronting them is neither easy nor comfortable, but meaningful accountability requires engaging directly with the past rather than avoiding it.

A long-neglected gem of feminist satire, Murdering the Devil is Czech costume and set designer Ester Krumbachová’s only output as director. An unnamed forty-something bachelorette (referred to only as “Her”) attempts to impress a ravenous engineer (the titular Mr. Devil) with a series of mouthwatering homemade dinners. To no one’s surprise, the man turns out to be a chauvinist boor, his comically insatiable appetite only good for instigating increasingly absurd fiascos.

Lives in Transit: Visualizing Georgian Migration Across Continents After 1921

12 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Tue., May 12, 2026, 10 – 11:30 a.m.

Movement and exile are recurring themes in Georgian history. The twentieth century, however, brought a dramatic rupture in the lives of Georgia’s citizenry. The Red Army's invasion of the Democratic Republic of Georgia in February 1921 set in motion waves of emigration that would carry tens of thousands of Georgians to destinations as far apart as Warsaw, Istanbul, Paris, Harbin (China), and New York.

This webinar traces four principal corridors taken by Georgian exiles. We will look at the stories of individual men and women and their extraordinary journeys. Presenters will bring to life the human experience behind the archival records and biographical notes. We will employ an interactive Story Map which will help us visualize their routes and illuminate the wide-ranging dispersal of Georgians following twentieth century wars and revolutions.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

12 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Tue., May 12, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

3 James St.
Cambridge
Wed., May 13, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

13 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., May 13, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

13 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Wed., May 13, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

14 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Thu., May 14, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

16 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Sat., May 16, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cambridge
Mon., May 18, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

18 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., May 18, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

19 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Tue., May 19, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

21 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Thu., May 21, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cambridge
Thu., May 21, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Thu., May 21, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

26 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Tue., May 26, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Tue., May 26, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

26 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., May 26, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

26 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Tue., May 26, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

29 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., May 29, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

29 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Fri., May 29, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

30 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Sat., May 30, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

The exhibition stretches from 800 BCE through today, showcasing the craftsmanship, innovation, cultural connections, and multilayered reception that characterized Celtic art in Europe and beyond.

Harvard and the American Revolution

03 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., June 3, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

03 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Wed., June 3, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 4, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.
