The Politics of Translation
2025-03-18 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | 20 Cooper Sq, 20 Cooper Square, New York, NY, 10003, United States
Featuring Madhu H. Kaza, Matvei Yankelevich, Emily Apter, Maria Jose Zubieta, and Simon Leser

Madhu H. Kaza, Matvei Yankelevich, Emily Apter, Maria Jose Zubieta, and Simon Leser explore the political potential and the constraints of translation especially in our time. Is translation inherently political? Or is it simply the transfer of knowledge and meaning from one language to others? What does it mean to translate texts that traverse languages and nations and also cultures and class? How can translation serve as a tool for liberation, and conversely, in what ways might it hinder understanding?

Who is Government? |Michael Lewis, Casey Cep, and David Shipley at Sidwell
2025-03-18 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Sidwell Friends Meeting House, 3825 Wisconsin Avenue, Washington, DC, 20016, United States
An urgent and absorbing civics lesson from an all-star team of writers and storytellers.

The government is a vast, complex system that Americans pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It’s also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it’s made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone.
Michael Lewis invited his favorite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them in a special in-depth series for the Washington Post. The stories they found are unexpected, riveting, and inspiring, including a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving thousands of lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees.
Whether they’re digitizing archives, chasing down cybercriminals, or discovering new planets, these public servants are committed to their work and universally reluctant to take credit. Expanding on the Washington Post series, the vivid profiles in Who Is Government? blow up the stereotype of the irrelevant bureaucrat. They show how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters.

Michael Lewis is the best-selling author of Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, The Big Short, The Fifth Risk, and Going Infinite. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his family.

Casey Cep is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee, which was a New York Times bestseller and named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post, The Economist, Time Magazine, and President Barack Obama. She lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with her family.

David Shipley is an American journalist, book author, and the editorial page editor at The Washington Post.
