  • Public-Fellows-Position-Descriptions
    The Humanities Center Public Humanities Fellow Program Position Descriptions Position 1 LOCATION: City of Asylum TITLE: Public Humanities Fellow START DATE: May 15, 2017 Organization Description History: In 1989, after publication of his novel The Satanic Verses, a fatwa was issued by the Supreme Leader of Iran that ordered the killing of its author, Salman Rushdie. As a result, Rushdie was forced into hiding. Because of Rushdie’s fame and his resources, he was able to do this securely, though as his memoir Joseph Anton reveals, even his resources were stretched to the limit. Most endangered writers, however, come from circumstances where they have neither fame nor resources. In 1993, in response to a growing incidence of attacks on writers and specifically writer assassinations in Algeria, a group of writers led by Rushdie formed the International Parliament of Writers. At the behest of the IPW, governments in several European cities agreed to provide one to two years of support for endangered writers in exile. These were called “Cities of Asylum,” and they aimed to protect not only freedom of speech and freedom of publication but also the physical safety of writers. In 1997, Salman Rushdie gave a talk in Pittsburgh as part of his re-emergence into public life, during which he briefly mentioned the Cities of Asylum network. Diane Samuels and Henry Reese happened to be in the audience, and they were immediately drawn to this mission. Following the talk, they wrote to Cities of Asylum in Europe about starting a chapter in Pittsburgh. Getting no response, they regularly e-mailed their inquiry, until in 2003 they were put in contact with author Russell Banks, who was charged with expanding the Cities of Asylum movement to the U.S.

  • Schenley Plaza Event Rentals
    Schenley Plaza Event Rentals The Schenley Plaza Oval with Tent (Maximum Capacity: 400 standing / 250 seated / 4,275 ft2) This large paved space is located directly across the street from the Mary Schenley Fountain and offers a grand view of the impressive 46-story Cathedral of Learning on the University of Pittsburgh’s campus. The space is ideal for weddings, receptions, fundraising dinners and concerts. A permanent oval tent (68’ x 80’) with clear sides provides protection from the elements. The side panels may be opened or closed based on the needs of the event. The Emerald Lawn (Maximum Capacity: 5,000 standing / 41,100 ft2) Taking up the foremost space in the Plaza, this one-acre lawn is a great location for large-scale events, such as concerts, graduations or large festivals. The Garden along Forbes Avenue provides a decorative border and buffer from the street. As the most popular and highly trafficked area in the Plaza, the availability of the Lawn is limited depending on its condition. Weather conditions on the day of and prior to an event may also limit its availability. The Garden (Maximum Capacity: 125 standing / 22,500 ft2) Bordering the Lawn, the Ornamental Garden is an ideal gathering spot for smaller groups that want a more intimate setting. The Garden can fit approximately 40 people on the unique hand-carved cedar benches. It also provides an elegant backdrop for wedding photos. PNC Carousel (Maximum Capacity: 17 seated) The PNC Carousel is an exciting destination in the Plaza. Its colorful menagerie of animals ranges from a triceratops to a tiger.
