Beacon Press said of Faux Feminism: 鈥淎fter over 175 years, the feminist movement, now in its 4th wave, is at risk of collapsing on its eroding foundation. In Faux Feminism, political philosopher Serene Khader advocates for another feminism鈥攐ne that doesn鈥檛 overwhelmingly serve white, affluent #girlbosses. With empathy, passion, and wit, Khader invites the reader to join her as she excavates the movement鈥檚 history and draws a blueprint for a more inclusive and resilient future.”

Khader holds the Jay Newman Chair in the Philosophy of Culture at 可乐视频 and is also a professor of philosophy and women鈥檚 and gender studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. She is a leading voice in feminist philosophy, with prior works including Decolonizing Universalism: A Transnational Feminist Ethic (Oxford University Press, 2018) and Adaptive Preferences and Women鈥檚 Empowerment (Oxford University Press, 2011).

Her research spans ethics,听social and political philosophy, and feminist philosophy, and she engages deeply with interdisciplinary fields such as development ethics, and global, decolonial, and postcolonial feminisms.

Founded in 1984, the NASSP fosters dialogue among scholars on topics of social and political concern, and its book award is among the most prestigious honors in the field.

Adding a dramatic outdoor flair on April 29 with help from dedicated faculty in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and students, the spotlight turned to the dynamic period between late antiquity and the Middle Ages鈥攕panning the third to 15th centuries鈥攐ffering visitors an immersive glimpse into a pivotal era of human history.

Far from a dusty history lesson, the series of events and presentations offered an immersive celebration of the premodern period, when the world鈥檚 modern institutions鈥攍ike universities, the nation-state, and the Catholic Church鈥攚ere being invented in Europe, and when indigenous communities populated North America. Undergraduates and graduate students alike collaborated across disciplines to breathe life into the past, showcasing everything from medieval drama to ancient spells to indigenous roads.

One of the Expo’s most ambitious endeavors came courtesy of History Professor Lauren Mancia, who, alongside nine students, unveiled a piece of what will be a dramatic restaging of the York Mystery Cycle鈥攁 sweeping series of 14th-century plays depicting stories from sacred history. With support from numerous grants and awards, including the New York Medieval Society Teaching Award and a Medieval Academy of America Centennial Grant, this performance-as-research project is headed to , where the team will join 17 other groups from across North America in a scholarly conference that blends performance with academic inquiry.

Mancia鈥檚 students spent the semester diving deep into medieval performance practices, staging early renditions of their pageants in open-air settings before offering a sneak peek at the Expo. Their final performance will take place on campus on June 2 at 1:30 p.m. (rain date: June 3), alongside the performance group from Fordham.

Donning T-shirts to celebrate the day they spent commemorating and educating the campus about premodernism the energy on the East Quad was palpable as students performed plays and engaged with other Medieval-related historical projects.

Adelaide Snow, a passionate History major, has spent the past year diving deep into the Medieval period under the guidance of Professor Mancia. She believes that exploring the premodern world offers powerful insights into our present and origins. On Day 2 of the HSS Expo, Snow helped bring history to life on the East Quad, working behind the scenes as a script assistant to support student-actors during the dynamic historical play performances.

鈥淗istory is not predetermined; this applies to all aspects of our lives,鈥� Snow said. 鈥淎ctually, the university is a premodern invention, and it鈥檚 important to study the premodern period so we know where we are and how we got here.鈥�

Student-actor Julia Krzysztalowicz is studying Spanish Translation and also taking the Medieval Ages course with Mancia. She said the best part of performing the plays “Adam and Eve” and “The Temptation of Jesus” was the reactions from the audiences.

鈥淢edieval plays are different. There is no etiquette for how this theater should be, so you can just go around and talk to the audience, and they can even talk back and throw something at you,鈥� Krzysztalowicz said. 鈥淭hrough these performances, you is how we discover a lot of this history of the Medieval Ages.鈥�

Mancia said the Expo showcases what the humanities and social sciences do best: investigate the world and its history from multiple angles and through student-led, experiential learning; collaborate in seminar classrooms where professors learn alongside students and ultimately engage with the wider Brooklyn and New York City communities; and use our study of the human creative and investigative spirit to infuse our contemporary world with a renewed commitment to discovery, knowledge-seeking, and community-building.

(Left to right) Students Jonathan Rakhamimov, History M.A. ’26, as Adam; Katryna Alexis, MHC Education/Theater ’27, as God the Father; and Lina Mazioui, MHC History ’27, perform the play 鈥淎dam and Eve.鈥�

But the York plays were just the beginning. Building on the strong community of premodern scholars at 可乐视频 through the Late Antique-Medieval-Early Modern Faculty Working Group and others, the Expo also featured a rich lineup of interactive, hands-on experiences. Highlights included:

鈥� Monastic Scribes: Students joined Mancia in re-creating a medieval scriptorium, complete with manuscript illumination and Byzantine icon-painting using historical techniques.

鈥� Scent of the Past: History Professor Karen B. Stern Gabbay and her students crafted a 鈥減remodern sensorium,鈥� letting visitors quite literally smell their way through the history of late antiquity.

鈥� Mapping the Premodern Campus: Anthropology Assistant Professor Kelly Britt and students offered a glimpse of 鈥渋ndigenous 可乐视频,鈥� revealing what the land and culture may have looked like before settler colonialism.

鈥� Curses and Charms: Classics Associate Professor Brian P. Sowers and his Tow student mentee led a workshop on ancient curse tablets and magical rituals, proving the supernatural was alive and well in the premodern imagination.

鈥� Medieval Debate Club: English professors Karl T. Steel and Nicola Masciandaro and Professor of Philosophy Andrew W. Arlig staged a spirited debate using rhetorical techniques from the earliest European universities.

Sirandrew Purcell, Education MA ’27, gives a class on how to be a medieval knight.

鈥� Traveling Troubadour: CUNY Graduate Center Ph.D. candidate, Lehman College Adjunct Professor, and founder of Christopher Preston Thompson serenaded the campus with medieval songs and harp music.

And the medieval festivities aren鈥檛 over yet. On May 10, Mancia will take students to the Met Cloisters for a special event titled The afternoon includes student-led museum tours and performances of 14th-century plays and processions on the Cloisters lawn, followed by a student-led discussion about the theme of temptation and how engaging with medieval art and performance has shaped their understanding of the past.

In total, this year鈥檚 HSS Expo featured an impressive 67 student presentations and 34 research posters supported by 24 dedicated faculty mentors. The campus buzzed with activity over the two days as students shared their work, while nine distinguished alumni delivered thought-provoking guest lectures鈥攂oth in person and via Zoom. A panel of 15 judges, including faculty, graduate students, and alumni, evaluated the presentations, adding a professional and celebratory dimension to the events. (See the full HSS Expo schedule here.)

Whether through scent, song, storytelling, or sacred drama, the 2025 HSS Expo proved one thing: the premodern world is anything but outdated.

The Philosophy Department from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences has several faculty members who specialize in philosophical issues involving immigration, multiculturalism, and international justice, including Professor Daniel Campos, Professor Serene Khader, and Assistant Professor . These faculty and their colleagues are committed to the values of diversity and inclusion that the college community so strongly embodies.

In that spirit, the department has created a series of events featuring prominent philosophers who are deeply engaged with facts on the ground that inform their views on immigration. Issues like democratic states, including the United States, regularly failing to secure the rights of migrant adults speak to a kind of internal reckoning that has sparked their debates.

Lindauer helped create the series and hopes it serves as a platform to share broad ideas about the concepts surrounding immigration.

鈥淲e are pleased to offer this series in conjunction with the Immigrant Student Success Office and the Ethyle R. Wolfe Institute for the Humanities,鈥� Lindauer said. 鈥淭hese lectures are aimed at honoring both the scholarly importance and the practical significance of immigration justice issues, with the hope of pushing these conversations further along and opening up new questions in these areas.鈥�

Philosophy of Immigration Series

Moral Obligations in a World Afraid of Refugees鈥擯hilosophy of Immigration Series, Part I
February 26, 6鈥�7:15 p.m.

Professor and author Serena Parekh will be in conversation with Professor Matthew Lindauer on the ethics of immigration, especially as it pertains to refugees. The discussion, grounded in philosophy, is aimed to engage students and the public.

听When We Decide: Plural Agency, Voluntariness, and Migrant Choice鈥擯hilosophy of Immigration Series, Part II
March 13, 6鈥�7:15 p.m.

Arianna Peruzzi, who is writing a dissertation on migration justice, territorial rights, and rights of non-displacement at the University of Michigan, will speak on voluntariness in migration. The decision to migrate is often made by households, not individuals. In these cases, the act of migration is often best understood as an exercise of plural agency. She offers criteria for voluntariness in migration that are apt to cases of plural agency. A conversation with Professor Matthew Lindauer and the audience will follow.

The Diminished Citizenship of U.S.-Citizen Children of Undocumented Migrants鈥擯hilosophy of Immigration Series, Part III
April 10, 6鈥�7:15 p.m.

Birthright citizenship is a policy that entitles anyone born in the United States to automatic U.S. citizenship, regardless of the immigration status of their parents. In the debate about the merits and drawbacks of birthright citizenship, wide-ranging claims about the impacts of the policy have been made, but one assumption that both critics and defenders share is that the U.S.-born children of undocumented migrants benefit significantly from U.S. citizenship. Associate Professor of Philosophy Lori Gallegos, Texas State University, presents a caveat to this conclusion by showing that although the beneficiaries of birthright citizenship are formally included in political membership and have all the rights and protections that are afforded to them by law, they don鈥檛, in practice, obtain the full bundle of goods that accompanies citizenship for those who are born to U.S.-citizen parents.

Campos, who has been part of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences for 16 years and was recently named chair of the Philosophy Department, incorporates his passion for mathematics, literature, and sport into his writings and his lessons. Before 可乐视频, Campos taught at Penn State University while pursuing his Ph.D. After completing a doctorate, he was a postdoctoral scholar at the Dibner Library of the Smithsonian Institution and then at the Catholic University of S茫o Paulo, Brazil. The diverse education Campos received prepared him well for 可乐视频.

We asked Campos about his experience in and out of the classroom and the eclectic symposium, “Great Circles: Mathematics, Philosophy, and Poetry,鈥� he hosted at the college in spring 2023.

What is your area of expertise?

In terms of philosophical traditions, I mostly research and write about philosophies from the Americas. That includes Anglo-, Latin-, and Native American philosophies as well as U.S. Latin philosophies. Currently, I am researching Lakota, Haudenosaunee, and other Native American philosophies regarding the sacredness of the land. As a teacher, I also emphasize African- and Asian-American philosophies.

In terms of topics, I have been focused recently on the ethics of immigration from American perspectives and on American conceptions of the good life鈥攅specially how love between people and communal respect for the land can sustain the ethical life of societies.

What do you plan to bring to your new role as chair of the Philosophy Department?

I have been chair for one year. I have two more years to serve. I am committed to making a personal presence on campus鈥攆or students, staff, and faculty鈥攁n enriching and worthwhile experience, for example, through conferences, lectures, debates, and gatherings that are both social and academic. We discuss philosophy and have good meals! I want to support student initiatives through Philosophy Society events.

I also want our department to offer culturally pluralistic courses more regularly. So far, we have been able to reactivate the course in Asian philosophy. In the fall, we are offering Jewish and African-American philosophy and another course that emphasizes Islamic philosophical traditions (Landmarks in History of Philosophy). Later, we will offer Latin American and Africana philosophy courses as well as courses on race, justice, and equality.

You recently organized a symposium, “Great Circles: Mathematics, Philosophy, and Poetry.” What was the inspiration for that, and what did you take away from the event?

Daniel Campos speaks at the symposium, “Great Circles: Mathematics, Philosophy, and Poetry,” which he organized and was held at 可乐视频 on June 9.

A 鈥渟ymposium鈥� is literally a banquet鈥攔ead Plato’s dialogue The Symposium if you are curious鈥攁nd this event was a philosophical and professional celebration. A group of philosophers, humanists, professors, higher education consultants, and 可乐视频 students and alumni gathered to discuss the relationship between mathematics, philosophy, and poetry.

We approached them as intellectual and creative endeavors that enrich human experience and our understanding of our world and our place in it. The work of distinguished philosopher and poet Emily Grosholz was at the heart of the discussions, illuminating our conversations. There was rigorous, thoughtful scholarship, poetry readings, intellectual friendship, joy, and good food.

What would you tell students who might be interested in studying philosophy but don’t understand much about it or its application?

Philosophy means the love of wisdom. It provides a way to pursue intellectual wonder and curiosity and to discover one’s vocation, one’s calling. To me, philosophy is a way of life. The philosophy we read, discuss, and write in courses, conferences, symposia, and debates is important for the sake of living a good life. In short, the true value of studying philosophy lies in the way it helps one to discover the life one finds worthwhile. As an academic field, philosophy hones students鈥� analytic, logical, and communication skills; trains them to become ethical professionals; and is one of the best majors to prepare them for careers in law, journalism, medicine, teaching, social work, justice, and other fields. Recent graduates from our department are now teachers, physicians, lawyers, and project managers, or are studying organizational psychology or cognitive neuroscience, for example. philosophy graduates earn high median salaries, close to $80,000 per year. But the joy of philosophizing is to question, imagine, and think about worthy life paths.

Mindful of the sacrifices his parents made to achieve this goal, Janani has never taken his educational opportunities for granted. He has thrown himself into his learning with both discipline and energy. Selected for the 可乐视频 Scholars Program, Janani has been on the Dean鈥檚 List every semester he has attended the college.听听

Graduating with honors as a chemistry major, Janani chose to immerse himself in scientific research during his time at the college. Since 2021, he has studied the connection between epigenetics and neurodegenerative disease as a researcher in Assistant Professor Mariana Torrente鈥檚 lab. Praising Janani鈥檚 commitment to his research, Torrente says, 鈥淗e has done a really beautiful job.鈥澨�听

Janani co-authored a paper based on this research, published last year in the journal Pathogens. Selected as a fellow in the 可乐视频 Tow Mentoring and Research Program, Janani also presented his work at the Tow Research Mentoring Symposium and has had work accepted for presentation at the American Society for Cell Biology and the National Conference on Undergraduate Research.听听

Janani expresses appreciation for the generosity of his professors in providing mentorship opportunities to students. 鈥淭he mentorship from the professors is very warm,鈥� he says. 鈥淭hey are very open to giving you opportunities and allowing you to pursue your interests.鈥�听

After exploring many fields, Janani decided medicine was his passion. He has been shadowing a pediatrician every summer since he was in high school, and he has shadowed other primary care doctors as well. He is drawn to primary care medicine because of the enormous impact that he saw such physicians have on patients, especially those with low income. Observing 鈥渢hat special bond between a primary care physician and a patient,鈥� Janani says that fostering such a bond is 鈥渟omething that I always wanted to have the opportunity to do.鈥�听

Janani has taken a circumspect approach to medicine. In addition to time spent with practitioners and in the research lab, he has considered the structures of thought that underlie practice. Graduating with a philosophy minor, Janani credits Associate Professor Anna Gotlib with helping him to think deeply about the physician-patient relationship, in a way that will enrich the care he one day provides.听听

Accepted to multiple medical schools, Janani plans to attend Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University in the fall. He has been selected as a , one of CUNY鈥檚 most prestigious awards, which includes an $8,000 scholarship that Janani will put toward medical school.听听

This is his third time as valedictorian. He received that honor from his elementary and high schools as well. One of the things Janani remembers most about those occasions is his parents鈥� smiles.听
