    • GLC Book Talk: David Blight with Connor Williams, author of “The Confederacy Myth: How an Insurrection of Slaveholders Tried to Destroy the United States”

      Add to Calendar 2026-10-28T16:00:00 2026-10-28T17:30:00 America/New_York GLC Book Talk: David Blight with Connor Williams, author of “The Confederacy Myth: How an Insurrection of Slaveholders Tried to Destroy the United States” In-person and online via zoom. In-person seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Join Gilder Lehrman Center director David W. Blight and author Connor Williams for a discussion of this important new book. What can Americans learn about our divided country today from the Civil War that divided us in the past? Connor Williams’s "The Confederacy Myth" answers that question with a blistering historical exposé that reframes our understanding of the Confederacy towards with what it really was - a relatively small insurrection of uncompromising fanatics that plunged the nation into its deadliest war. In his new book, Williams reveals the truth about the Confederacy by unraveling its myths and uncovering its perilous political tactics, irate ideologies, reckless brand of warfare, impotent governance, and enduring commitment to slavery. Most importantly, Williams reminds us why the United States prevailed in the Civil War: five out of six Americans resisted the Confederate insurgency and instead put everything on the line to fight for democracy so that our Republic would have a new birth of freedom.

    • Yale Club of Vermont Online Book Club: “Country People” by Daniel Mason

      Add to Calendar 2026-10-28T19:00:00 2026-10-28T20:15:00 America/New_York Yale Club of Vermont Online Book Club: “Country People” by Daniel Mason Daniel Mason’s critically acclaimed and inventive 2023 novel, North Woods, was set in rural Western Massachusetts. In his new quirky and highly creative novel, Country People, we land firmly in Vermont. An academic couple has moved from California for the wife to take a visiting professor gig at a small Southern Vermont college. She is a renowned Milton scholar; her husband Miles is virtually unemployable after working on his dissertation for over a decade, and getting nowhere. The Vermont setting is the perfect foundation on which to build this gentle satire, focused around Miles and his overly-romanticized notions about rural life. For example, when Miles considers writing about Russian peasants, he imagines meeting Vermont “country people” will help his research. Mason creates a cast of characters that could populate a “Keep Vermont Weird” campaign, offering them up with both affection and parody. In a fantastical sub-plot, some natives believe they are close to discovering caves in Vermont that lead down to an entire other world stored inside the earth. This through line underscores the bit of myth, hope, magical thinking, community and the power of storytelling that gives this book a special heart. Plenty to enjoy!

    • YCBA Paul Mellon Lecture with Courtney J. Martin ’09 PhD | Rasheed Araeen: Modern, Minimal, Practical, and Social

      6:00PM – 7:00PM ET
      New York, NY
      Add to Calendar 2026-10-29T18:00:00 2026-10-29T19:00:00 America/New_York YCBA Paul Mellon Lecture with Courtney J. Martin ’09 PhD | Rasheed Araeen: Modern, Minimal, Practical, and Social

      In the second lecture of this two-part series, join Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Executive Director Courtney J. Martin as she discusses Rasheed Araeen’s concept of participatory transformation.

      Central to the seminal artist’s mid-career and later work were his early sculptures, which he defined as structures. Alongside an otherwise minimalist practice, Araeen began to write about his objects, shifting his definition of them as sculpture into the more sociocultural designation of structure. Structures relied on viewer engagement and invited interaction with other objects, viewers, and each other, changing the economy of space within the exhibition. These structures showed the signature of Araeen’s interest in low technology, ephemerality, roughness, and an overall surface crudeness taking shape.

      A conversation will follow between Martin and Kellie Jones, Hans Hofmann Professor of Modern Art in the Department of Art History & Archaeology and a Professor in the Department of African American & African Diaspora Studies at Columbia University.  

      There will be a reception at The Yale Club of New York City following the talk. 

      Registration required.
