- Josh Fattal was one of three Americans detained by Iranian troops on July 31, 2009. He was hiking in Iraqi Kurdistan with friends Shane Bauer and Sarah Shourd when a border guard accused them of illegal entry into Iran. The three were later imprisoned and charged with spying. Fattal spent 781 days in an Iranian prison, 100 of those in solitary confinement. He was released on September 21, 2011. Josh Fattal is now a PhD candidate in NYU's history department, studying jurisdictional tensions, or how various forms of government (local, state, national) respond to similar issues. He lives in South Brooklyn with his partner, Jenny Borhman, and their son, Isaiah Azad Fattal. Azad means "freedom" in Farsi. Fattal, with Bauer and Shourd, is a co-author of the 2014 memoir "A Sliver of Light: Three Americans Imprisoned in Iran."

- Courant professor David Holland, director of NYU's Center for Atmosphere Ocean Science, has an unusual ground-floor lab at the southeast corner of Mercer St. and Washington Place. Pedestrians wandering by frequently peer in through its windows to stare at the spinning contraption inside—a scale model of the planet with a rotating fluid table that mimics the movement of the Earth's oceans.
What they might not realize is that it's all part of predicting the effects of climate change.
In this video, Holland gives a tour of the lab and connects experiments there to his field work in Greenland and Antarctica, where he studies how melting glaciers contribute to rising global sea levels.

- In 1964, less than 7% of eligible African-Americans in Mississippi were registered to vote.
Under the leadership of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a mixed race group of more than 800 young volunteers recruited from college campuses around the country traveled to Mississippi that summer to register black voters there.
Risking violence and arrest, they also set up Freedom Schools to educate and empower African-American students for social change.
Before they even arrived in the South, while the group was still training in Ohio, three volunteers—James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Mickey Schwerner—were abducted and murdered by Klansmen.Their bodies were found on August 4, 1964.

- Presented by the NYU Brademas Center
May 1, 2014
One of the most notable changes in British Politics in the past decade, is the growing Independence of Members of Parliament. Historically, MPs followed the Party Whips as Party support was essential to preferment. As a consequence of these changes, many political scientists in the UK have tended to devote their attention to studying the executive rather than the legislature.
While several academics have written about this phenomenon -- none has put forward, or even attempted to put forward, a coherent thesis to explain the rise in MP independence. This comparative discussion helped illustrate clear trends that have led to the decline in partisan voting, the growth in the number of 'safe seats', increasing lobbing activity in Parliament and the rise in importance of Parliamentary Committees.

- For the 10 percent of preschool and elementary school-aged children affected by speech-sound disorders, the request to "repeat after me" can present a real challenge. A child who struggles with the "r" sound, for example, may also have trouble hearing the difference between a "good" "r" and a "bad" "r." That's why speech pathologists at NYU's Steinhardt School are using ultrasound and acoustic biofeedback to present the "r" sound visually—allowing those with speech impairments to focus on what a sound "looks like."
In this video, Tara McAllister Byun, assistant professor of communicative sciences and disorders, and assistant research scientist Heather Campbell describe and demonstrate this unconventional therapy, which is currently being tested on English-speaking children aged 9 to 14.

For 35 years, he's been the keeper of the NYU torch—the person who coaches the lucky student who gets to carry it and who makes sure its yellow flame shines brightly on the big day. Made by Tiffany, the torch was a gift to NYU in 1911, but was retired from use in 1920s—that is, until the 1970s, when DeSantis was called upon to help revive the tradition. He's been keeping watch over the University's precious symbol ever since.

- Description
- Since the 1960s, many in the United States have dreamt of a "color blind" society, where we are all simply individuals rather than representatives of racial or cultural groups. In workplaces, especially, this idea has been the dominant model for encouraging diversity and inclusion.
But in their new book, The Color Bind: Talking (and Not Talking) About Race at Work, Erica Foldy, associate professor of public and nonprofit management at the Wagner School, and her co-author, CUNY's Tamara Buckley, question that premise, making a case that the "color blind" approach can actually reinforce existing racial hierarchies. Drawing on their two-and-a-half-year study of employees at a child welfare agency, Foldy and Buckley investigate race relations in office settings to show how a different strategy, which they call "color cognizance"—the practice of recognizing the profound impact of race and ethnicity on any experience—can help workers move beyond uncomfortable silences.

Yep, that's right—before "Dear Abby," there was "Dear Juliet": In 1937, an Italian municipal secretary named Ettore Solimani became the first "secretary" to Shakespeare's most famous lovelorn heroine, and later on the ladies of the Club di Giulietta took over answering her correspondence. Since 1989 they've amassed an archive of more than 50,000 letters touching on themes from illness and war to infidelity and interracial romance. Gallatin professor Lise Friedman's 2006 book on the phenomenon, Letters to Juliet, which she wrote with her sister Ceil Friedman, became the inspiration for a 2010 film, starring Amanda Seyfried, of the same name.

This event was a 1-year follow-up to the convening held in October 2012 entitled Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparity in the Criminal Justice System.
The convening discussion was tailored to promote conversation about advancing reform in the criminal justice system, specifically to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities, and included a review of the "best practices" outlined in the conference report from the October 2012 conference. Convening participants included invited guests from the academic, civil rights and social justice communities.
This event was by invitation-only.
