Mar 16, 2026: What Was a Tree to a Medieval Buddhist?: Chinese Perspectives on Nonhuman Sentience and Agency at Psychology

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 17:00:00 -0700

In some accounts, as the famed monk Xuanzang (602–664) left on his pilgrimage to India, he stroked a pine and told it to point east when he was on his homeward journey. After many years of growing westward, the tree’s branches turned to the east, signaling to the monastery’s monks that the great pilgrim would soon return. Something, it would seem, connected the monk and the pine. What might this and other stories tell us about trees and plant-human relationships? In other medieval tales trees are inhabited by strange creatures, bleed or weep, take revenge, express lost love, or speak to people in dreams. Such narratives allow us to chart arboreal potentialities in medieval China. But we also tell our own stories about trees and plants, and in this talk I will put these medieval accounts of responsive trees in conversation with more recent work on plant sentience from Emanuele Coccia, Suzanne Simard, and others to ask how different types of narratives (literary, scientific, philosophical) might help us to think about the connections between plants and ourselves.

Natasha Heller is a cultural historian of Chinese Buddhism with research interests spanning the premodern period (primarily 10th through 14th c.) and the contemporary era. Illusory Abiding: The Cultural Construction of the Chan Monk Zhongfeng Mingben, her first book, is a study of an eminent monk of the Yuan dynasty using poetry, calligraphy, and gong’an commentary to explore the social and cultural dimensions of Chan Buddhism. Her second monograph, titled Literature for Little Bodhisattvas: Making Buddhist Families in Modern Taiwan was published in the Contemporary Buddhism series at the University of Hawai‘i Press in 2025, and is now out in paperback. She is now working on two books: a cultural and religious history of Alishan, Taiwan and a
history of trees in Chinese Buddhism.

Mar 16, 2026: Making the Desert a City: Recent Discoveries from Ancient Trimithis in the Dakhla Oasis of Egypt at Vollum College Center

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:15:00 -0700

The Dakhla oasis lies in a depression in the middle of one of the driest locations on Earth, some 400 miles due west of Luxor in Egypt’s Western Desert. Nevertheless it prospered: it was home to extensive cultivation and thriving settlements during the Roman period, including Amheida or ancient Trimithis. Tonight’s lecture incorporates recent work from the just-concluded 2026 excavation season at Trimithis into what we have learned over the last two decades about how Egyptians at the very edge of the Roman empire turned the western oases into a city, complete with traditional Egyptian temples (and later churches), painted villas, Roman baths, schools, and a sophisticated culture of feasting.

David Ratzan joined ISAW in 2014 as the Head of the ISAW Library. Before coming to ISAW he was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Greek and Roman Classics at Temple University and a lecturer in Contemporary Civilization in the Core Curriculum at Columbia University, where he also served as Curator of Papyri pro tempore in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library. His publications include several edited volumes, including Missing Mothers: Maternal Absence in Antiquity (with Sabine Huebner; Peeters, 2021), and Law and Transaction Costs in the Ancient Economy (with Dennis Kehoe and Uri Yiftach-Firanko; University of Michigan Press, 2015). Starting with the 2023 field season, he is the Director of NYU's Amheida Excavations in Egypt, along with his colleague Nicola Aravecchia (Washington University), who is Archaeological Director.

Mar 17, 2026: Computer Science Colloquium: Mik Zlatin, Pomona College at Eliot Hall

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:40:00 -0700

Online Matchings and Beyond: The Power of Water-Filling -
Many modern algorithmic tasks occur in an "online" setting, in which information is revealed sequentially over time, and a decision-maker must make irrevocable decisions as the situation evolves. A classic example is the Online Bipartite Matching problem (OBM). With applications to matching markets, ridesharing platforms, dating apps, and digital advertising, OBM and its variants are very well-studied, and an optimal (1-1/e)-competitive algorithm is known [Karp, Vazirani, Vazirani '90].

In this talk, I will introduce a generalization of OBM called the Online Submodular Assignment problem. This allows us to capture more complex assignment problems of practical relevance. I will show how "submodular water-levels" can be defined to adapt the water-filling algorithm to the submodular setting, and achieve an optimal (1-1/e)-competitive algorithm for Online SAP as well.

The talk will be accessible to all undergraduates with familiarity in algorithms, and it is based on joint work with Daniel Hathcock, Billy Jin, Kalen Patton, and Sherry Sarkar.

Mar 17, 2026: Pathogens, Pests, and Policy: Environmental Control at the U.S.-Mexico Border at Psychology

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:00:00 -0700

Pathogens, Pests, and Policy: Environmental Control at the U.S.–Mexico Border

Mary E. Mendoza, Assistant Professor of History and Latino/a Studies, Penn State University

When we think of the border today, we often think of walls, fences, patrols, and controlling the influx of undocumented immigrants. But the border has not always functioned to control human migration. In this talk, Mary E. Mendoza will explain the causes, development, and legacy of fence construction along the US-Mexico Divide, arguing that the border began as a project to control dynamic, nonhuman nature, and over time, transformed into a project to change the nature of human migration. As this process unfolded, the construction of the border and the construction of racial categories developed in tandem, and the environment played a critical role in this process.

Mar 17, 2026: Glitchcraft: Twink Death and Becoming Himbo at Eliot Hall

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0700

Your AI doesn't know what to do with you. And neither did the category.

"Twink death" names what happens when a queer body ages out of a youthful archetype — an archetype racialized white. Its eroticism gets flagged by content moderation as proximate to childhood. But the data image doesn't age anyway. This performance-lecture follows one impossible twink through the machine: AI refusals, glitch-bodies that might be trans, SORA-generated trad tops, and the question of what you mourn when the self you lost never quite existed.

Shaka McGlotten runs their own old images through generative tools live. The failures are the data. The talk is part of a larger project on "the computational hex," which examines how algorithms seduce, bewitch, and occasionally himboify us all.

Shaka McGlotten is Professor of Media Studies and Chair of Media Studies and Gender Studies at Purchase College–SUNY. An anthropologist and artist, they work at the intersection of Black study, queer and trans theory, and computational media, with a focus on “messy” networked intimacies and algorithmic hexes. They are the author of Dragging: Or, in the Drag of a Queer Life and Virtual Intimacies: Media, Affect, and Queer Sociality, and co‑editor of Black Genders and Sexualities, Zombies and Sexuality, and the forthcoming Postdigital Intimacies. Their projects Ima Put a Computational Hex on You and Black Data: Against the Hegemony of the Transparent are supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stiftung Künstlerdorf Schöppingen, the Weibel Institute for Digital Cultures, the Andy Warhol Foundation, and Data & Society.

Sponsored by the art department and the Comparative Race and Ethnicity Studies program. Free and open to the public.

Mar 17, 2026: What Is To Be Done? How to Take Action in Horrifying Times at Vollum College Center

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 19:00:00 -0700

The year is 2026, and the Trump administration violates the Constitution so regularly that it scarcely makes the news anymore. Masked paramilitary goons invade our cities, where they abduct, imprison, and murder people with apparent impunity. Warehouse concentration camps run by private prison companies mushroom into communities across the country. America's support of Israel's atrocities in Gaza continues, and we have once again destabilized the Middle East with an unprovoked war that promises to kill thousands. It is very easy to become overwhelmed at times like this. What can any of us do to stop this juggernaut? What meaningful actions can we take? This talk will explore what we can do, as individuals and as a collective, to fight back and keep our neighbors safe, and why we have reason to hope for a brighter, better future.

Laura Jedeed ('19) is a freelance journalist at firewalledmedia.com who recently exposed ICE's lax hiring practices for Slate. Her work has also appeared in publications like Rolling Stone, Politico, and Slate. Laura's Reed thesis centered around a 1.5-year ethnography of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group affiliated with the Proud Boys, and her work primarily focuses on American conservatism. When not writing or arguing online, you can find her taking pictures of graffiti and enjoying New York City's EDM scene.

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:40:00 -0700

Graphs Viewed Through Commutative Algebra -
Edge ideals of graphs were introduced by Rafael Villarreal in the 1990s and binomial edge ideals were introduced by Herzog, Hibi, Hreinsdottir, Kahle and Rauh and independently by Ohtani, in 2010, all to study the graph-theoretic properties through commutative algebra. The specific ideal-theoretic properties that play a role are various matching numbers, connectivity, the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity,arithmetical rank, associated primes of powers of ideals, and more. This talk will be a survey of the area.

Mar 19, 2026: Deserts Reimagined: How Saharanism Colonized Arid Lands at Physics

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:45:00 -0700

Deserts occupy a third of the Earth's area. They are very ubiquitous landscapes and ecologies, but they are also understood as being remote, dead, and empty. Most important, these assumptions about desert spaces have a history that scholarship has not conceptualized in terms that would make it discrete. Using the notion of "Saharanism," this talk will chart the history of ideas that has allowed different entities to do what has been done in and to deserts for a very long time.

Brahim El Guabli is Associate Professor of Comparative Thought and Literature at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of the award-winning book Moroccan Other-Archives: History and Citizenship after State Violence (Fordham University Press, 2023) and of the recently published Desert Imaginations: A History of Saharanism and Its Radical Consequences (University of California Press, 2025).

Mar 19, 2026: Because of You/Dahil sa ‘yo: Film Screening and Director Q&A at Performing Arts Building

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 18:30:00 -0700

Reed's Comparative Race and Ethnicity Studies program and the Theatre and Music Departments present a screening of "Because of You: A History of Kilawin Kolektibo" (Dahil Sa ‘Yo: Ang Storya Ng Kilawin Kolektibo) on Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 6:30pm. To be followed by a Q&A with director Barbara Malaran, and a reception.

Directions: Navigate to "Reed College West Parking" to park at the lot adjacent to the Performing Arts Building. The entrance to the lot is across the street from the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. Room 320 is on the third floor which is accessible by stairs or ramp/elevator.

About "Because of You: A History of Kilawin Kolektibo"
Dahil Sa ‘Yo: Ang Storya Ng Kilawin Kolektibo

This archival documentary traces the history of Kilawin Kolektibo, a pioneering collective of Filipinas who came together in NYC in the mid-nineties. Having experienced marginalization in Filipino culture because of their queerness and in mainstream gay culture because of their race, language, and gender, the members of the group sought political empowerment and increased visibility.

Above all, they sought to create a space of friendship and safety for those who found themselves suspended between cultures and identities. Kilawin Kolektibo allowed them to transform their experience of oppression into one of joy and growth. Kilawin made lasting connections with similar groups in the global Filipino diaspora, most significantly, with Babaylan, a queer Filipinx group based in Toronto.

Culling from a treasure trove of over a quarter-century’s worth of historic documentation, including footage, photographs, interviews, and ephemera, the film tells the inspiring story of members as they found each other, fell in love, and became each other’s lifeblood amidst a society that rejected them. From marching, partying, and protesting, to its oftentimes incestuous sexual politics, the film serves as an exhilarating memorial to the rebellion and nostalgia of the nineties.

Mar 20, 2026: Greek Hymns to Egyptian Gods: Dialogue and Difference at Performing Arts Building

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:30:00 -0700

When Lucius, in the final book of the Metamorphoses, prays to an unknown lunar goddess and receives a reply from Isis, Apuleius has his characters, one human and one divine, address each another in Latin literary versions of well-known Greek texts: hymns and self-revelations of Isis. Apuleius was not simply adapting particular texts; he was also participating in a dialogical discourse attested in a range of Greek inscriptions and in the network of correspondences between them. Several of these texts adopt and adapt typical expressions and formal features from each other that were regarded as characteristics of a distinct genre of discourse. Drawing on examples from the Memphite self-revelation of Isis, the aretalogies from Maroneia and Andros, as well as the hymns of Isidorus from Medinet Madi, this talk explores the dialogical discourse of Greek hymnic texts belonging to Isis and her circle. While these texts have long been understood as domesticating representations of an exotic divinity intended to facilitate her assimilation into Hellenistic and Roman societies, examining them collectively and in their dialogical relations with one another shows that their discourse held a place for difference, figuring Isis as a stranger who was neither fully assimilated nor wholly other.

Ian Moyer (associate professor of history at the University of Michigan) explores the ancient history and modern historiography of cultural and intellectual encounters between ancient Greeks and Egyptians. His work ranges across history, classical studies, Egyptology, religion, and reception studies, and addresses questions of culture, identity, and agency in cross-cultural interactions. His first book, Egypt and the Limits of Hellenism (2011), explores the ancient history and modern historiography of cultural and intellectual encounters between ancient Greeks and Egyptians. He is co-editor, with Celia Schultz, of a special issue of Archiv für Religionsgeschichte on “The Religious Life of Things” (2016); a collection of essays entitled Classicisms in the Black Atlantic (2020) with Adam Lecznar and Heidi Morse; and a volume on Cultures of Resistance in the Hellenistic East with Paul Kosmin (2022). With Chris Faraone, Sophía Torallas Tovar and an international team of collaborators, he has produced a new edition of the hymns of Isidorus from Medinet Madi together with translations, commentary and interpretive essays (forthcoming). He is also currently writing a monograph entitled “At the Gates of the Temple,” in which he studies the gates and forecourts of temples as a form of public space in first millennium BCE Egypt.

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 12:00:00 -0700

One lazy zinester's favorite way to bind! Let's make drum leaf-bound zines!

Drum leaf binding is an adhesive-only method for binding pages together that lies flat, lets you avoid dealing with rearranging spreads for printing, and is just a really fun way to bind. It's great for binding things like photographs or art into a cute and chunky book.

This Reed Zine Fest workshop is led by Sarah Joy Calpo and is being held in PAB 104 (Performing Arts Building, Room 104).

Apr 2, 2026: Free Speech on Campus at Vollum College Center

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0700

Free speech is indispensable on college campuses. Allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise and the pursuit of truth. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits “abridging the freedom of speech,” yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement?

Apr 3, 2026: Biology Seminar: Dr. Yan Wang at Biology

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0700

Death and the Octopus

In octopuses, longevity is controlled by a part of the nervous system, the optic glands, which trigger death after reproduction. Though this phenomenon has been referenced by cephalopod biologists since at least the beginning of the 20th century, how and why this happens has only recently begun to come into focus. In this talk, I highlight recent advances in our understanding of death and dying in the octopus and preview some of our new work on the octopus vestibular system.

Yan Wang is an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Biology at the University of Washington, Seattle. She is a neuroscientist interested in the evolutionary and social dimensions of senescence. Yan completed her postdoctoral work at Princeton University, studying the effects of social isolation on the brains and behaviors of bumblebees, and her graduate work at the University of Chicago, investigating the molecular neuroendocrinology of maternal behaviors and death in the octopus. She uses emerging invertebrate model systems to investigate how the nervous system organizes, encodes, and mediates end-of-life transitions and death. Her work uses multiple high-dimensional omics, behavioral, and molecular approaches to uncover fundamental rules about the aging nervous system.

Join us for a special screening of Tarajal: Desmontando la impunidad en la frontera sur (Tarajal:A European Phantasmagoria) a documentary directed by Xavier Artigas, Xapo Ortega, and Marc Serra, 2015. The film examines the massacre of 15 immigrants attempting to swim to the Tarrajal Beach in Ceuta, Spain and "articulates a rigorous investigation through videos recorded by witnesses, media footage, legal analysis and interviews with lawyers, activists and victims' relatives. Its strength lies in its capacity to dismantle the Spanish government's official narrative and to expose systematic practices of racist violence and the lack of institutional accountability" (https://www.xavierartigas.cat/en/cinema/tarjal-a-spanish-phantasmagoria/)
The documentary will be the focus of a discussion led by Mónica López Lerma, April 8, 4:10-5:30 in Kaul Lounge, as part of the "Languages of Truth Series" organized by the Program in Comparative Literature.

Apr 8, 2026: Post/Imperial Longing: Cornelia Sorabji in Victorian Oxford at Psychology

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:30:00 -0700

A figure of both curiosity and celebrity during her life, Cornelia Sorabji (1866-1954) has been recuperated as a feminist icon in both postimperial academic scholarship and popular culture. This talk reconsiders her time at Oxford in the late 19th century, where she trained as a “lady barrister,” exploring what a complex figure she was and is – and tracking how she has been transformed over the last thirty years into an object of postimperial desire, if not nostalgia as well.

Antoinette Burton is professor of History and Swanlund Endowed Chair at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. A historian of the modern British empire, her work has used feminist and anti-colonial methodologies to contest the grand narratives of imperial power and violence, and to make visible the complex lives of those subjected to imperial rule. Her most recent works include Gender History: A Very Short Introduction (OUP 2024) and, with Renisa Mawani and Samantha Frost, Biocultural Empire: New Histories of Imperial Lifeworlds (Bloomsbury 2024). She is the recipient of awards for her research from the NEH, the ACLS and the Guggenheim Foundation, and for her work as director of the Humanities Research Institute from the Mellon Foundation. In 2025 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her latest edited collection, Up Against the Archive: Experiments in Writing British History Otherwise, is forthcoming from Duke University Press in 2027.

Newton will guide us on an odyssey from papyri to the printing press, from Bibles to scrapbooks, and algorithms to artificial intelligence. Come learn about those cultural texts that people read and that also seem to read them back.

Dr. Richard Newton is Associate Professor and Undergraduate Director in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. Newton explores how people create “scriptures” and their role in identity formation and cultural boundaries. Known for transdisciplinary research, digital methods, and creative public engagement, Newton presents religion as a provocative opportunity to consider how human beings work.

Apr 10, 2026: Biology Seminar: Dr. David Reznick at Biology

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0700

From Birth to Death: The Evolution of Life Histories in Guppies (Poecilia reticulata)

Most think of evolution as being too slow to be observable in real time. My career goal was to challenge this presumption and to perform experiments that test aspects of the theory of evolution in natural populations. Nature has created a template for doing so in the form of natural variation among populations of guppies in the predators they co-occur with and providing a setting in which risks of predation can be manipulated and the rate of evolution can be quantified. This setting enabled me and my colleagues to describe how, why and how fast evolution happens. We discovered that ecology and evolution are interacting processes that can reciprocally shape one another. Predators don’t directly cause guppy evolution by increasing their risk of mortality. They instead act indirectly by lowering their population density, which in turn reduces their impact on their ecosystem and increases per capita resource availability.

David Reznick, Ph.D. studies the process of evolution by natural selection from an experimental perspective and test evolutionary theory in natural populations.

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0700

This July marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the pinnacle of a longer commemoration of the American Revolution's semiquincentennial. This panel of Reed faculty and visiting scholars will use this landmark anniversary as an occasion to reflect on the state of the United States today--and how we got here. Topics likely to be considered include culture wars, American empire, birthright citizenship, state-federal relations, and whatever members of the audience wish to bring up. Come join us as we grapple with the past, present, and future of the U.S. in advance of its 250th birthday.

Sponsored by the American Studies Program.

Apr 14, 2026: What Causes Urban Wildfires: Applying L.A.’s Lessons to Portland - by Robert McCullough ’72 - Lecture and Reception at Vollum College Center

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0700

Join us for an evening with eminent energy consulting expert Robert McCullough '72 on Tuesday, April 14 at 6pm in Vollum Lecture Hall and Lounge.

6–7 p.m. - Vollum Lecture Hall - What Causes Urban Wildfires: Applying L.A.’s Lessons to Portland
Robert will examine how laws, economic incentives, and institutional structures shape wildfire outcomes, with a close look at the fragmented and siloed agencies that understood the risk but couldn't coordinate an effective response. Wildfire has evolved from a regional, seasonal threat into a continental crisis, as demonstrated by last year's $30-billion disaster in Los Angeles—a city with sophisticated plans and expert knowledge that still failed to act in time. Robert's work with the New York Times last January helped identify the ignition point of the Eaton fire in Los Angeles. The presentation also brings the issue home to Portland, where structural vulnerabilities similar to LA's put neighborhoods like Eastmoreland and Sellwood at serious risk.

7:30–9 p.m. - Vollum Lounge - Reception

Join us for a reception after McCullough's presentation—light snacks and beverages will be served. Space is limited, so please register today!

Apr 16, 2026: Take Back the Night at Eliot Hall

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 19:00:00 -0700

Join us in Eliot Chapel for our annual survivor speak-out: a time for those impacted by sexual violence to have their stories’ heard in supportive community. Stories may be expressed in poems, essays, art collections, and can be read anonymously by a SHARE student staff member. You may submit in advance, or read your own piece in person.

Take Back the Night is an annual community event demanding an end to sexual violence, accountability for offenders, and support for survivors. Held each year on a night in April–Sexual Assault Awareness Month–Reed participates in this tradition alongside other colleges and community organizations across the world. Started in the United States in 1973, Take Back the Night has taken the form of marches, rallies, and community gatherings throughout the years.

All of us have the right to be free from violence, the right to be heard, and the right to reclaim those rights if they are violated. Too often survivors are shamed, blamed, and silenced; we take back the night by uplifting survivor stories and honoring the experiences shared. By participating in Take Back the Night, we recognize that sexual violence affects all of us, and that it will take all of us to end it.

The event is open to current students, with an emphasis on creating space for survivors to be in community with other survivors and their alliles. SHARE student staff will be present for any support you may need. If you would like more information about accessibility or disability accommodations or if you have any questions, please email L. at mattsonl@reed.edu or reach out to the student team at share@reed.du.

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 13:00:00 -0700

Denim Day is a campaign on a Wednesday in April where folks wear denim to demonstrate support for survivors and challenge myths supporting sexual violence. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court in 1999, where a rape conviction was overturned after the judges ruled that the jeans worn by the victim were too tight to not have been removed by the victim–thereby implying consent. The day following the ruling, women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.

Come by our table outside the GCC to add your patch to our Denim Quilt and show your allied support for survivors.

Sun, 03 May 2026 15:00:00 -0700

Experience Reed’s renowned HUM 110 course, focusing on Mexico for this syllabus, particularly the city of Tenochtitlan/Mexico City, from the Spanish invasion to the twentieth century. Participants may sign up for one or all three standalone sessions. Each session includes optional advanced reading. The first half of each session features a lecture viewing, followed by discussion in the second half.

Unit II: Representation and Its Discontents - Sunday, May 3, 3-5 pm PT

Elena Poniatowska’s Massacre in Mexico was chosen for HUM 110 because it powerfully illustrates how literature and visual culture can challenge official narratives, expose systems of power, and give voice to those excluded from democratic participation. Through a collage of eyewitness interviews, protest slogans, newspaper headlines, and photographs, the text documents the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre, an event the Mexican government attempted to suppress and deny, raising critical questions about the relationship between truth, speech, and political power.

The Spanish and English editions of the book differ significantly in their narrative structure, selection and placement of photographs, and Poniatowska’s editorial framing, reflecting how history, meaning, and collective memory are shaped through acts of translation, mediation, and audience-specific presentation. These differences invite reflection on how the modern nation-state constructs and narrates its own history, often through exclusion, silence, or violence, and how alternative narratives survive and resist erasure.

This lecture was presented by Jan Mieszkowski, professor of German and humanities, on March 2, 2020.

*Please be aware that many of the photographs are quite disturbing, as they include images of dead bodies.

How do Poniatowska’s narrative choices, such as the use of multiple voices, the integration of disturbing images, and the reorganization of visual and textual elements across editions, shape our understanding of the Tlatelolco massacre? In what ways do these choices reveal the construction of difference, the imposition of hierarchies of class, race, and citizenship, and the ethical and political stakes of representing collective trauma and state violence for different audiences?

Oct 18, 2026: Hum 110 Parent & Family Book Club: "Year 2" Mexico: Unit III: The Inconvenience of Revolution: Zapatismo, Cynicism, Dignity, and Memory

Sun, 18 Oct 2026 15:00:00 -0700

Unit III: The Inconvenience of Revolution: Zapatismo, Cynicism, Dignity, and Memory - October 18, 3-5 pm PT

The readings on the Zapatista movement (EZLN), which emerged publicly in 1994, were selected for HUM 110 because they vividly illustrate how difference is constructed, utilized, and reframed through Indigenous-led political activism. These texts challenge dominant narratives of Mexican national identity and neoliberal economic policies, offering alternative visions of democracy, citizenship, and self-governance that confront exclusion and inequality.

Through the “Fourth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle,” the “Sixth Declaration,” and related texts such as “Mexico City: We have arrived. We are here,” “The Story of the Questions,” and the “Zapatista Women’s Revolutionary Law,” the Zapatistas use historical narratives, national symbols, and alternative political frameworks to contest the construction and narration of the modern nation-state. Their movement highlights the ongoing processes by which history, place, and identity are created and re-created, especially in the context of colonial legacies and resistance.

These readings also expose the imposition of hierarchies of class, race, and gender, while emphasizing the ways these are negotiated and resisted, including through the important leadership of Zapatista women. Moreover, the Zapatistas’ strategies connect to broader themes in the Black diaspora and other global movements, where artistic and political creation serve as powerful tools for social and political transformation.

This lecture was presented by Christian Kroll, associate professor of Spanish and humanities, on March 6, 2020.

How do the Zapatistas use historical narratives, national symbols, and alternative political frameworks to redefine Mexican identity and confront longstanding social and economic inequalities? What do these texts reveal about the broader goals and strategies of the movement, and how do they reflect the themes of difference, resistance, and the reimagining of democracy and citizenship that HUM 110 explores?
