Each year, CAHI brings distinguished artists, scholars, and writers to IU Bloomington to share their work. Past speakers have included Margaret Atwood, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Roxane Gay, Juan Felipe Herrera, George Saunders, and more.
Prize-winning South African novelist and essayist Imraan Coovadia will discuss his new book, Revolution and Non-Violence in Tolstoy, Gandhi, and Mandela, with Political Science Professor Bill Scheuerman.
Carolyn Forché’s visit has been tentatively rescheduled for Fall 2021. Details coming soon. Award-winning poet, memoirist, human rights activist, and translator Carolyn Forché will speak to us about her memoir, What You Have Heard is True: A Memoir of Witness and Resistance, and her recent poetry collection, In the Lateness of the World.
This spring, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun will join CAHI’s Distinguished Scholar series. Her work in Critical Data Studies is timely and crucial: she pushes us to heed the power of algorithms and big data in fostering discrimination and misinformation, and offers tools for countering these trends.
