Snacks, tea, and coffee will be provided. All undergraduates welcome—bring your curiosity and an open mind! About the Current Affairs Cafe The Current Affairs Cafe is a chance for undergraduate students to come together over coffee, tea, and snacks to discuss timely issues facing our world. While these conversations can seem difficult in our increasingly polarized society, this series will teach best practices on productive dialogue so that students can build critical discourse skills. The Nanovic Institute for European Studies will be presenting these student events a few times each semester, bringing in a speaker to start a conversation on a globally relevant topic, so while we will discuss Europe, we will also consider perspectives and questions drawn from all continents. Any undergraduate looking to engage and have a stimulating conversation is most welcome to attend. Originally published at nanovic.nd.edu.

This panel presents the recent book Righteous Demagogues: Populist Politics in South Asia and Beyond by our guests Adnan Naseemullah and Pradeep Chhibber in a conversation moderated by Kellogg faculty fellow Susan Ostermann. The book looks at the causes, dynamics, and consequences of populist politics in South Asia and beyond. It argues that populist mobilizations are rooted in crises of representation, and populism is a symptom, not an underlying cause, of democratic malaise.

A stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life, Sugarcane, the debut and Oscar-nominated feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. In 2021, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence, the forced separation, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, Sugarcane illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere. GET TICKETS
