Emma L. Briant on Government Efforts to Counter Propaganda and the Risk of Undermining Public Trust
“If strategies such as fact-checking and digital literacy efforts are to be trusted and if labelling and removal of false or misleading claims are to gain public acceptance, then the limits to how governments involve themselves in tackling influence operations online must be clear and transparent for their citizens,” writes Briant, visiting research associate in human rights.

How Do We Process the Loss of Our Homes? Professor Jeannette Estruth in Conversation with Filmmaker Swetha Regunathan
Last month, Assistant Professor of History Jeannette Estruth sat down with filmmaker Swetha Regunathan at a virtual event at Bard College. Dr. Regunathan’s work often grapples with homelessness, immigration, exile, and climate change, telling the stories of people misrepresented or underrepresented in American film.

In her introduction to their conversation, Professor Estruth writes, “Regunathan’s films bear out the urgent reality that home—as place and as concept, as shelter and as structure of social belonging, as physiological human need and as place of physical safety—is an economically, structurally, and ecologically precarious idea for increasing numbers of people, especially people of color, women, and young people. When homes disappear or become untenable, people are forced to make new homes, new stories, and new meanings about these places and themselves. Regunathan’s films do the invaluable work of showing us that our past and present dreams of home persuasively compel urgent action today for our collective future.”

Brooklyn Museum Exhibition Curated by Bard Faculty Jeffrey Gibson and Christian Ayne Crouch Listed in <em>Artforum</em>’s Best of 2020
The Brooklyn Museum commissioned Bard College artist in residence Jeffrey Gibson to revive a neglected collection. Collaborating with associate professor of history Christian Ayne Crouch, the curators “took aim at the museum’s archive, cracking open the ideological biases—the ignorant and often racist beliefs and values—on which its collecting was premised,” writes Lynne Cooke of Artforum. Jeffrey Gibson: When Fire Is Applied to a Stone It Cracks at the Brooklyn Museum is curated by Jeffrey Gibson and Christian Ayne Crouch with Eugenie Tsai and Erika Umali, and is on view through January 10, 2021.
