58th Annual Throckmorton Lecture, Unsettled: Citizens, Migrants, and Refugees
Today, no one really thinks of Britain as a land of camps. Camps seem to happen “elsewhere,” from Greece to Palestine to the global South. Yet over the course of the 20th century, dozens of British refugee camps housed hundreds of thousands of Belgians, Jews, Basques, Poles, Hungarians, Anglo-Egyptians, Ugandan Asians, and Vietnamese. But refugee camps also housed Britons who had been displaced by war and poverty, as well thousands of civil servants and a fractious mix of volunteers. This lecture explores how these camps have shaped multicultural Britain. They generated unique intimacies and frictions, illuminating the closeness of individuals and groups that have traditionally been kept separate - “citizens” and “migrants,” but also refugee populations from diverse countries, conflicts and generations. This talk will speak to all who are interested in the plight of the encamped, and the global uses of encampment in our present world.
An Evening with Jacques Rancourt and Corey van Landingham
Please join us to hear Stegner Fellow poets Jacques Rancourt and Corey van Landingham read their work and discuss the art of poetry.

An Evening with Nikky Finney
Join us for An Evening with Nikky Finney as she shares her work and discusses her marvelous craft. Love Child’s Hotbed of Occasional Poetry (pub date April 15, 2020) is her first poetry collection since winning the National Book Award in 2011. In addition to the poems, there are hotbeds, a horticulture term introducing her readers to her journals, the place where most of her poems have always found their calcium and strong knees. There are also artifacts, images and photographs, that assist the words in composing how the poet’s poet-life came to be. Over the last 30 years each and every Nikky Finney book has always been wonderfully different but this long awaited new minglement of word and image crafts a new kind of American poesy.

Nixon’s War at Home: The FBI, Leftist Guerrillas, and the Origins of Counterterrorism
Daniel Chard, Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Western Washington University, will be discussing his recent book, Nixon’s War at Home: The FBI, Leftist Guerillas, and the Origins of Counterterrorism (UNC Press, 2021). Drawing on research in declassified FBI documents, Nixon’s War at Home explains how war with homegrown guerrilla groups like the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army helped bring down the presidency of Richard Nixon while prompting the FBI and White House to develop the preemptive policing practices of American counterterrorism, entrenching mass surveillance as a cornerstone of the national security state in the 21st century.

What We Can Learn from the T.V. Series “Philly D.A.”
The TV series “Philly D.A” is a riveting, up-close look at Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s progressive District Attorney (who will be joining us for the event) and his recent election, with all of the requisite complexity and political drama that ensues.
We will watch the first episode together, followed by an in-depth conversation with a fascinating panel (see below) that will be focused on the possibilities and challenges of making change. This event provides a stepping-off point for us all, wherever we are located, to think about how we might reimagine justice. Though the series takes place in Philadelphia, it can be regarded as a harbinger of wider social change writ large.
A special aspect of this series is that Ted Passon, one of its co-creators and directors, took an Inside-Out course back in the early 2000s. Please mark your calendar and share this information with others.
PANELISTS:
Larry Krasner: District Attorney of Philadelphia
Mike Lee: Chief of the Diversion Unit and Government Affairs in the D.A.’s Office
LaTonya Myers: Formerly Incarcerated Activist and Co-Founder of AboveAllOdds.com
Ted Passon: Co-Creator and Director of the Philly D.A. series

Quinn Slobodian - The Past and Future of Economic Globalism
With the outbreak of the pandemic, neoliberal globalism seems to have lost another of its nine lives. What remains of the consensus around global economic governance that seemed so solid from the end of the Berlin Wall until a few years ago? This talk will recount the history of the twentieth century that led to the naturalization of globalization in the long 1990s and consider the challenges we can expect from attempts to roll out progressive politics to address inequality and climate change from the top down in coming years.

“But how could we sing the Lord’s song in a strange Land?” Slave Religion and Consciousness in the Afro-Peruvian Diaspora
Consortium for Faculty Diversity Dissertation Fellow, James Padilioni, Jr., will give a lecture that interrogates the experience of Black chattel slavery by centering slave religion. In particular, I focus on Martin de Porres (1579-1639), a mixed-race friar from Lima, Peru who ministered to the enslaved community. The Vatican canonized Martin in 1962 as the patron saint of social justice. Martin and the enslaved community’s Catholic practices reveal the ways Africans made sense of their American captivity by selectively braiding together aspects of their indigenous traditions with the trappings of Baroque Spanish Catholicism. By reinterpreting their worldviews in additive and expansive ways, enslaved Africans creatively worked out new forms of spiritual knowing that related them to the material conditions of their lives. I approach these ritual practices as critical expressions of Afro-Peruvian values that harbored memory, catalyzed everyday politics, and populated integrated social worlds that span spiritual and material planes, returning the full potentiality of the divine to those most-marginalized on Earth.
