Ann Snitow May 9, 1943-August 10, 2019 Ann Snitow, a founding faculty member of Lang College and the creator of the Gender Studies Program at the New School, passed away on August 10, 2019. She was a beloved member of the Literary Studies faculty. While indeed her books and essays are crucial texts in feminist studies and in the life of the mind, as Literary Studies colleagues our remembrances here are more personal, testaments not just to her work but to the power of her being.

Artistic Director Alexandra Chasin, Associate Professor of Literary Studies at Lang College, The New School, created Writing On It All, a participatory writing project open to all interested members of the public. In sessions led by artists and writers, participants are invited to write on the interior surfaces of an out-of-use house – and no two sessions are alike. Facilitators and session members take to the walls to write, attending to the dynamics of writing as well as to pressing issues of the day. […]
In her forthcoming book (Fordham UP), The Sound of Biopolitics, Naomi Waltham-Smith asks if the contemporary can be described as a crisis of listening. How have sound and aurality been caught up in philosophy’s attempt to theorize the politics of sovereignty? Panelists bring together work on art, media, and literature, as well as police data, protest culture, and the colonial archive.
Naomi Waltham-Smith is an Assistant Professor of Music at University of Pennsylvania. The colloquium will also feature Soyoung Yoon, Assistant Professor of Visual Studies at Lang College and Julie Beth Napolin, Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities at Lang College. Lana Lin, Associate Professor of Film Theory and Digital Cinema at the School of Media Studies, will be the respondent.
This event is sponsored by Eugene Lang College and the Junior Women’s Mentoring Group.
