River Monster: The Epidemiology, Ecology, and Pathobiology of Cholera || Radcliffe Institute
by Harvard 1,192 views
Water Lecture Series
John Mekalanos discusses the biology of cholera, driven by his investigations on the molecular genetics of the causative bacterial organism. With his many colleagues in Bangladesh, Haiti, and elsewhere, he has provided strong evidence for how this organism emerged as a human pathogen and has recently become more pathogenic, as well as for why epidemics begin and end so abruptly. He applied this knowledge to the construction of genetically stable cholera vaccines that have been successfully tested in the United States and Bangladesh.

Lizabeth Cohen Inaugural Lecture || Radcliffe Institute
by Harvard 472 views
The inaugural lecture by new Radcliffe Institute Dean Lizabeth Cohen RI '02 addresses a topic central to her work as a scholar of 20th-century American urban history.
Americans after World War II increasingly equated being modern with suburban life, and cities struggled to retain their importance to the nation's economy and culture. "Urban renewal" seemed to promise a new future for cities, but today it is often dismissed as a huge mistake. In this lecture, Cohen will examine some of the places, people, and power structures behind urban renewal to reveal a more complex story of its admirable ambitions and undermining flaws.

Recent and Likely Future Changes in the Hydrological Cycle || Radcliffe Institute
by Harvard 1,127 views
Water Lecture Series
How much rain and snow fall and where? How much of this precipitation evaporates? How much water is covered with ice? How much water is frozen in glaciers and permafrost? These linked questions—all aspects of climate—affect the "global energy balance," or the ratio of energy emitted by Earth and energy received from the sun. In the past half-century, trends have emerged in each area that are consistent with a warming climate due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere. Using the assumption that greenhouse gas emissions will continue to rise, James McCarthy extrapolates future-climate scenarios from these recent trends.

It's Complicated: 375 Years of Women at Harvard || Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study
by Harvard 1,021 views
Historian Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz explores Harvard University's relationship with women, which she describes as complicated. Her review begins with the University's founding 375 years ago, when Harvard excluded women as students and teachers. For 200 years, the University conveyed education and prestige to a ministry and a rising merchant class. Beginning in the 19th century, women found innovative ways to attain higher education, but the terms of access required accommodation—even invisibility. Horowitz contends that the fight for equity began more than a century ago and remains a work in progress today.

Approaching Midnight: Taking Midnight's Children from Book to Film || Radcliffe Institute
by Harvard 11,251 views
Director and screenwriter Deepa Mehta discusses her recent work with Salman Rushdie to adapt his 1981 novel Midnight's Children for the screen—they collaborated closely as he wrote the screenplay—including the challenges of casting 30 principal actors in India and spending days and nights in intensive workshops inspired by the ancient Indian performing arts treatise, the Natya Shastra. Mehta shares her philosophy of filmmaking and how she walks the fine line between conventional storytelling and pure instinct. Following the lecture, she is joined by Bapsi Sidhwa, who wrote the novel on which Mehta's 1998 film Earth was based, to discuss the relationship between author and filmmaker and the evolution of story from print to film.

Activists, journalists, and academics from different fields and disciplines examine and analyze recent events in countries affected by the democratizing efforts often described as "Arab Spring" and compare women's experiences of these events with those of women in other moments of democratic change around the world, including Eastern Europe, South Africa, and Latin America. -

Welcoming remarks by Lizabeth Cohen (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Harvard University), David T. Ellwood (Harvard Kennedy School), Peter Meade (Boston Redevelopment Authority), and Robert J. Sampson (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Harvard University)
"Reimagining the City-University Connection," sponsored by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Rappaport Institute, and the City of Boston, seeks to promote a new kind of partnership by stimulating mutually beneficial research and policy relationships involving Harvard and other universities with Boston and other cities and towns in greater Boston. Scholars and practitioners from a variety of fields and communities will explore accomplishments of—and lessons from—several notable university/city initiatives. Panels of leading academics and senior practitioners will focus on four areas: preventing and responding to violence; governance and new technologies; improving urban education; and the lessons and challenges of city-university collaborations. The symposium will create novel opportunities to strengthen existing collaborations and to begin to develop new ones—particularly those that cross academic disciplines and bureaucratic boundaries.
