  • Humanitarian Affairs Theory, Case Studies And
    HUST 4501: Humanitarian Affairs: Foreign Service Program Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs Fordham University – Summer Session II Monday – Thursday, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM Lincoln Center – Classroom 404 INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION Instructor: Dan Gwinnell Email: [email protected] Tel: +1 908-868-6489 Office hours: By appointment – but I am very flexible and will always be happy to make time to meet with you! COURSE OVERVIEW The Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) prepares current and future aid workers with the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively in times of humanitarian crisis and disaster. Our courses are borne of an interdisciplinary curriculum that combines academic theory with the practical experience of humanitarian professionals. The Humanitarian Studies program is multi-disciplinary and draws on a variety of academic and intellectual frameworks to examine and critique the international community’s response to situations of emergency, disaster and development. There is a natural tension in humanitarian studies between the practical implementation of humanitarian initiatives related to disaster or development; and, on the other hand, more introspective and academic attempts to understand and critique the effectiveness of these initiatives. Understanding how to effectively navigate this tension between theory and practice is at the heart of Fordham’s undergraduate program in humanitarian studies, and will serve as a guiding theme of this class. Throughout the course, we will work to try and form a coherent set of opinions on a) whether humanitarian action is a positive and necessary component of our global landscape, and b) if so, how our theory can guide our practice to help improve the efficiency and outcomes of humanitarian endeavors.

Who, for example, could forget the 1939 Nazi-Soviet Pact? Not Poland! For that matter, mutu- ally-beneficial exchanges play an integral role even at our fine school. Between Columbia College and SEAS students: “You do my problem set, I’ll read the Iliad for you.” Between the ladies of Barnard and Columbia: “You Take Back The Night, we’ll give you back your men.” Between the Office of University Development and the United Arab Emirates: “You give us 2.1 million dol- lars, we’ll give you an Edward Said Chair for Middle Eastern Studies.” Over the last two years, the Varsity Show and The Blue and White have enjoyed their own especially rewarding relationship. For instance, dur- ing tonight’s performance of Off Broadway, the Varsity Show will prove remarkably adept at wowing the audience with catchy tunes, flashy lights, and jokes at Barnard’s expense (it’s so easy). But what is the audience expected to do while waiting for the show to begin? Enter The Blue and White.

  • OJAI at BERKELEY VIJAY IYER, Music DIRECTOR
    OJAI AT BERKELEY VIJAY IYER, MusIC DIRECTOR The four programs presented in Berkeley this month mark the seventh year of artistic partnership between the Ojai Music Festival and Cal Performances and represent the combined efforts of two great arts organizations committed to innovative and adventur- ous programming. The New York Times observes, “There’s prob- ably no frame wide enough to encompass the creative output of the pianist Vijay Iyer.” Iyer has released 20 albums covering remarkably diverse terrain, most recently for the ECM label. The latest include A Cosmic Rhythm with Each Stroke (2016), a collaboration with Iyer’s “hero, friend, and teacher,” Wadada Leo smith; Break Stuff (2015), featuring the Vijay Iyer Trio; Mutations (2014), featuring Iyer’s music for piano, string quartet, and electronics; and RADHE RADHE: Rites of Holi (2014), the score to a film by Prashant Bhargava, performed with the renowned International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE). The Vijay Iyer Trio (Iyer, stephan Crump on bass, and Marcus Gilmore on drums) made its name with two acclaimed and influential albums. Acceler ando (2012) was named Jazz Album of the Year in three separate critics polls, by the Los Angeles Times, Amazon.com, and NPR. Hailed by PopMatters as “the best band in jazz,” the trio was named 2015 Jazz Group of the Year in the DownBeat poll, with Vijay Iyer (music director), the Grammy- Iyer having earlier received an unprecedented nominated composer-pianist, was described “quintuple crown” in their 2012 poll (Jazz by Pitchfork as “one of the most interesting Artist of the Year, Pianist of the Year, Jazz and vital young pianists in jazz today,” by the Album of the Year, Jazz Group of the Year, and LA Weekly as “a boundless and deeply impor- Rising star Composer).
