Ambassador Patrick Gaspard joined the IOP for a conversation with David Axelrod on protecting freedom in an age of fear. Amb. Gaspard is the current president of the Open Society Foundation.

Positive and necessary social change is paramount to improving lives and life situations; it fosters hope and provides incentives leading to success.

Hugues Bastien is a native Haitian who emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 15. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from City College of New York. Through deep, genuine, almost gut-wrenching urgency to improve conditions for fellow Haitians, Hugues returned to his home village in 1994 and founded Institution Univers and Coalition of Children in Need Association. These organizations were created to guide and teach Haitians how to better their own stations in life through education and acquisition of practical working skills. In 2013, Hugues was named the Entrepreneur of the Year in Education in Haiti.

He has built a school for children and one for adult education; he planned and built a medical clinic to service a population of 150,000; he has added housing for professionals who have moved into the area; he planned and implemented a working agricultural farm which now provides food for 2,700 students and staff; the village now has a bakery which provides jobs and bread

The Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora hosted their annual Black History Month event sponsored by Unifor on February 15, 2018.

In this conversation, award-winning poet, novelist and documentarian Dionne Brand engages in dialogue with Toronto social activist Angela Robertson, and Montreal community organizer and author of Policing Black Lives (2017), Robyn Maynard. Together they reflect on the ways in which in their activism, people of African descent resist the daily acts of gendered, classed and sexual racialization in Canadian society.

An M7.2 earthquake struck southwest Haiti on Aug. 14, leaving hundreds dead and causing widespread devastation, and Tropical Storm Grace passed over Haiti on Monday, Aug. 16, bringing heavy rains, flash floods and landslides, further complicating response efforts.

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) hosted a webinar to look at the impact of the earthquake and tropical storm. Speakers shared the latest information, including critical needs and gaps, and provided concrete takeaways for funders to effectively support relief and recovery efforts.

Even prior to this latest disaster, Haiti was a country in crisis. It still hasn’t recovered (economically, socially, culturally, etc.) from the January 2010 earthquake that devastated the capital and killed approximately 200,000 people. Eleven years later, 33,000 people live in displacement camps and an additional 300,000 live in informal settlements. An additional 140,000 are still displaced from 2016’s Hurricane Matthew. The COVID-19 pandemic and the recent assassination of President Jovenel Moïse have further destabilized the country.

During the webinar, we examined the 2021 earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace in the context of the existing disparities and social disruption in the country.

CDP Director of International Funds Alex Gray moderated the discussion and panelists included:
- Karen Keating Ansara, New England International Donors
- Pierre Noel, Haiti Development Institute
- Marie-Rose Romain Murphy, The Haiti Community Foundation/Economic Stimulus Projects for Work and Action
- Sebastian Rhodes Stampa, UNOCHA

This webinar was co-sponsored by Giving Compass, Council on Foundations, Philanthropy New York, Alliance Magazine and National VOAD.

KATHERINE DUNHAM: A LEGACY OF SOCIAL ACTIVISM THROUGH DANCE
David DeBlieck, Visiting Assistant Professor, Theater
CSB – ALUMNAE HALL
1/23/2019

Katherine Dunham was an internationally-recognized dance artist, social activist and cultural anthropologist who changed the face of the American dance stage by incorporating dances from the African diaspora in her choreography and by presenting danceworks that explicitly addressed social issues of her time. Although she was a contemporary of Martin Luther King, Jr. and active in her pursuit of social justice during the civil rights era, her work is not known to most people outside of the dance world. This session will reveal important aspects of Dunham’s work, including an examination of Southland, a dance from 1950 that depicted the lynching of a black man in the racist American south. This session will also explore how Dunham’s legacy is continued through the Institute for Dunham Technique Certification and the training of today’s dancers in her African-based dance technique as well as her social philosophies. The session will also include reflections on my participation in the Institute’s intensive training program in the summer of 2018 and a description of how I plan to apply Dunham’s strategies and theories to engage CSB/SJU students in the creation of a new dancework that addresses themes of social justice.

This conversation features representatives from student representatives from the Students for Sanctuary organization as well as the New Sanctuary Coalition, Andres Jiminez and Deirdre, joined by Shakoure (who was in ICE detention at the time of recording, released as of 02/17/2021) to bring awareness to the #FreeShakoure direct action, ICE & CBP and carceral system injustices. The goal of this discussion is to teach how everyone can help people targeted by ICE and the carceral system, bring awareness to the reality of the crisis, and learn how activism can be integrated into pedagogy.

This presentation examines the interstices of mysticism, mothering/hospitality and community organizing in the lives of women of African descent in Brazil and the United States – a confluence about which there is little extant scholarship. Using an analytical framework that incorporates history of religions of the Afro-Atlantic diaspora, ethnographic and historical studies of contemporary social justice movements, oral histories, and womanist ethics, my work explores the moral and mystic universe of contemporary Afro-Brazilian and African American women activists.

A collaboration between Africana Studies and the Brazil Initiative, with the generous co-sponsorship of the Watson Institute, the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice, the Center for Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women, and Religious Studies.
