A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • Timothy Simonds, adjunct associate professor of humanities and media studies, is featured in The New York Times about Manhattan-based station Montez Press Radio. Simonds hosts a show called “Miss Othmar’s Meeting with Teachers,” which “collects the voices of different teachers and facilitators from a variety of fields and their approaches to leading the listener through exercises over radio.”

  • Leslie, a Non-Fiction II project by Lisa Dodell, BFA Film ’25, is showing at DOC NYC. It will be playing at the Angelica on November 21.

  • Rebekah Morris-Gonzalez, director of climate initiatives at the Pratt Center, wrote a piece for City Limits about New York’s $5 billion climate opportunity. “With $5 billion at our disposal and the climate and housing crises looming, we can’t afford to continue the energy efficiency redlining that is currently built into the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) incentive design,” she writes. “It’s time to address long-standing inequities and make investments that will deliver clean energy technology to LMI communities hardest hit by historical disinvestments and the climate crisis.”

  • An exhibition by William Kim, MFA Fine Arts ’25, was featured as a “Must See” in Artforum.

  • Assistant Professor of Social Science and Cultural Studies Jan Dutkiewicz wrote an article for Vox about PETA. “Its controversial tactics are not above critique,” writes Dutkiewicz. “But the key to PETA’s success has been its very refusal to be well-behaved, forcing us to look at what we might rather ignore: humanity’s mass exploitation of the animal world.”
