On 20 May, we will be welcoming Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld, PhD, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of African People and Wildlife. For more than two decades, Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld has partnered with communities in Tanzania to build conservation solutions that hold — through shifting politics, funding disruptions, and the daily pressures of life in landscapes where people and wildlife rely on the same land. Her work centers on a question that rarely gets asked in environmental science: not whether a solution was implemented, but whether it lasts. In this talk, she draws on field experience to explore what sustainable solutions require in practice, including local decision-making, women’s leadership, and the collaborative processes that keep conservation grounded when conditions change. The lessons reach well beyond conservation, offering a framework for anyone working on complex social and environmental challenges in an uncertain world. false

      In Becoming Mary Sully, Yale GSAS alum Philip J. Deloria excavates the extraordinary work of Dakota Sioux artist Mary Sully, whose vibrant abstract “personality prints” reimagined American celebrity and modernism through Indigenous aesthetics. Through close visual analysis and cultural history, Deloria reclaims Sully’s art from obscurity and reframes it as a bold, vision of American Indian modernity. Edward Balleisen will engage Deloria about his own career, Sully’s extraordinary life, and the challenges of piecing together Sully’s biography and artistic innovation.

    • YDS Center for Continuing Education: American Apocalypse Now with Dr. Yii-Jan Lin

      Add to Calendar 2026-06-02T19:30:00 2026-06-02T20:30:00 America/New_York YDS Center for Continuing Education: American Apocalypse Now with Dr. Yii-Jan Lin America appeared on the European horizon at a moment of apocalyptic expectation and ambition. Within that kind of beginning, explorers, colonizers, and politicians imagined the land to be paradise, God’s country, and the New Jerusalem of the Bible’s Book of Revelation. But while the metaphor of the New Jerusalem has been useful in portraying a shining, God-blessed refuge with walls and gates, it has also been used to exclude, attack, and criminalize unwanted peoples. This lecture demonstrates the influence of Revelation’s violent and extreme language on American immigration, and how the nation needs to break out of such apocalyptic thinking.
