Katerina Clark, a native of Australia, is a Professor of Comparative Literature and of Slavic Languages and Literature at Yale University, and has taught at SUNY Buffalo, Wesleyan University, the University of Texas at Austin, Indiana University and Berkeley.  Her present book project, tentatively titled Eurasia without Borders?: Leftist Internationalists and Their Cultural Interactions, 1917–1943, looks at attempts in those decades to found a “socialist global ecumene,” which was to be closely allied with the anticolonial cause.

In this panel discussion, we'll look at Borderline, a piece by Company Wang Ramirez, in advance of their performance on the Carlson Family Stage on Saturday, March 3. The discussion will include examining the role of dance as a tool to analyze and interpret international relations, issues of immigration and borders, and hip hop, in an international context.

The IAS is pleased to cosponsor this talk, presented by the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies, by Professor Konrad Schmid of the University of Zurich.
