German Colonialism and the Concept of Transnational HistoryOrganized by Hartmut Berghoff, Clelia Caruso and Uwe Spiekermann (GHI)

In 1897 Chancellor von Blow claimed "einen Platz an der Sonne" (a place in the sun) attempting to justify therecent and, as it turned out, comparatively short-lived German imperial ambitions. By the end of World War I,Germans colonial endeavors were already a thing of the past. The former German colonies quickly merged intoother European empires and German society was hardly influenced by the brief imperial episode - or so it seemed.Following the lead of recent scholarship on transnationalism the lecture series "The Aftermath of GermanColonialism" reopens the case. Historians from Germany and the United States will explore whether and to what extent imperialism shaped Germany and its former colonies and possibly continues to do so.

Beyond the Individual Mandate: Why ObamaCare Must Be Repealed

With the Supreme Court set to hear challenges to the federal health care law, much attention is rightly focused onthe constitutionality of the individual mandate. But there is much more to be concerned about in the massivehealth care overhaul law. The law creates a maze of bureaucratic regulation, will burden taxpayers and businesseswith unknown costs, and impacts every aspect of the health care economy. Join us as three noted health reformauthorities examine the continuing debate on ObamaCare, the impact and consequences of these policies, and analternative path to improve health care for America.

Responding to Islam: Lessons from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth, and Bishop George Bell

Thursday, January 26, 12:00 p.m.

Family Research Council801 G Street NWWashington, DC 20001

RSVP: http://www.frc.org/eventregistration/responding-to-islam-lessons-from-dietrich-bonhoeffer-karl-barth-and-bishop-george-bell?utm_source=DC+Linktank&utm_campaign=c49ca8bfbe-DC_Linktank_Weekly_Events-01_22x_012&utm_medium=email

Featuring Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, International Director, The Barnabas Fund

Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Karl Barth. Bishop George Bell. Dismissed, derided, and in one case even martyred, eachof these Christian leaders took a stand against the threat of Nazism.

Today, a similar threat faces Christians in the US, across Europe, and much more dramatically throughout theMuslim world. Radical Islam's jihadist ideology does not peacefully coexist with Christianity. And Christianleaders--both political and pastoral--should know more about the threats they face.

Join us at noon on Thursday, January 26th as author, pastor, and human rights advocate Dr. Patrick Sookhdeoexplains the threat of radical Islam and offers a clear and Christian response.

Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo is director of the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity, a Christian researchinstitute specializing in the status of Christian minorities in the Muslim world. He is also international directorof the Barnabas Fund. Dr. Sookhdeo is a prolific lecturer and author who holds a Ph.D. from LondonUniversity's School of Oriental and African Studies and a D.D. from Western Seminary, Oregon, USA. In 2001,Dr. Sookhdeo was awarded the Coventry Cathedral International Prize for Peace and Reconciliation, and in1990, he was given the Templeton Project Trust prize for progress in religion.

The main ministry of the Barnabas Fund is to send financial support to projects which help Christians wherethey suffer discrimination, oppression and persecution as a consequence of their faith. The projects aim tostrengthen Christian individuals, churches and their communities by providing material and spiritual support inresponse to needs identified by local Christian leaders.

Join us for lunch on Thursday, January 26th to find out how today's Christians can follow the faithful examplesof Bonhoeffer, Barth, and Bell.

How did Jean Monnet, an entrepreneurial internationalist who never held an elective office, never joined apolitical party, and never developed any significant popular following in his native France, become one of themost influential European statesmen of the twentieth century? How did he conceive of, and becomeinstrumental in achieving, European integration?

Sherrill Brown Wells, professorial lecturer in history and international affairs at The George WashingtonUniversity will discuss her latest book, a political biography, entitled Jean Monnet: Unconventional Statesman which addresses these questions and sheds light on the role of European and American leaders in establishingpeace in war-ravaged Europe in the aftermath of World War II.

Joining Wells on the panel is Thomas Alan Schwartz, professor of history at Vanderbilt University.

Christian F. Ostermann, director of the Wilson Center's History and Public Policy Program and European

Studies will chair the event.

If you would like to attend, please RSVP to HS-CT@CSIS.org

In 2004 the U.S. Congress passed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, which established theInformation Sharing Environment (ISE) to facilitate the exchange of terrorism-related information across the U.S.security apparatus. Since that time, the United States has greatly improved and expanded its information sharinginfrastructure. Yet despite marked progress, the United States still faces significant information sharing challenges.As recent incidents have shown, rapid changes in information sharing practices, procedures and technology havehad ramifications for both security and privacy. As the ISE and government information sharing efforts mature,technology, cultural, policy and legal mechanisms will have to continue to evolve and be strengthened to meet these challenges. Please join the CSIS Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Program for a full-day conferenceto discuss the challenges of and future for expanded information sharing.

Opening Reception

Friday, January 27, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Carroll Square Gallery975 F Street NWWashington DC 20004

Washington Realism gathers representational paintings bylocal and regional artists who paint what the eye cansee." Each artist in the exhibition approaches a challenge

that has persisted in painting for more than 3,000 years that of realistically representing people and places what we might call our perpetual reach for

realism. Realism as a modern artistic movementdeveloped in opposition to the romanticism dominating19th century French painting. It coincided with the advent

of photography, which solidified a concept of the everydayas subject matter. As similar as we believe our ideas ofreality might be, each painting in the show attests to howvaried reality is from one artist to another, as well as fromone observer to another. Yet, the show possesses acollective viewpoint. Contrary to the political drama andimagery projected by mass media to those outside ournations capital, these artists choose to eschew the glitzand glam and depict the everyday.

Gallery open during business hoursMonday Friday, 8:00am 6:00pm

The events of the Arab Spring highlighted the potential of digital and traditional media to transformpolitical structures. Government officials and citizens across the region and around the world closelywatched the role of technology in the protests, while advocates of independent media felt that the eventsaffirmed the power of information and its fundamental role in developing democratic states. Still,policymakers rarely recognize independent media as a critical component in fostering democracy and

development. Moreover, they continue to question the international development community about whether aid to developing nations has worked. With the revolutionary power of media catching theworlds attention, it is a good time to examine the evidence on media, technology, and development. Domedia matter?

Works by seven winners of gute aussichten 2011/2012 , the eighth annual German competition for graduate

photography students, come to Washington on the exhibitions worldwide tour. Featuring Sebastian Lang, Sara -Lena Maierhofer, Johannes Post, Luise Schrder, Miriam Schwedt, Julia Unkel and Franziska Zacharias.gute aussichten presents a unique and far-ranging synopsis in terms of both the content and style of the workscreated by young photographers in Germany during the past 12 months. Individual image series aredistinguished by their highly diverse aesthetic, formal and conceptual approaches, providing an insight into themultifaceted themes that form the focus of young artists interests today.

In this years selection of winners, edits proves to be a unifying link. According to curator Josefine Raab, lastyears trend for treating the medium of photography both experimentally and playfully and lacking coercionalso continued this year. The photographic legacy of schools influenced by the image has led youngphotographers to an imaginative exploration and expansion of their instrument repertoire. The construction of images, as ever, remains a major theme, with the total staging of image worlds moving into the foreground byusing various means. The analysis of the political, societal, social and cultural themes of our time continues to

be virulent and has pushed the topics of narrative self determination and self -positioning into the background.

Opportunities and Disappointments of the "Look North" Policy: Indian Strategies for Central AsiaThursday, February 2, 12:00-1:45 p.m.George Washington University

The rise of "regioness" is an important aspect of globalization, implying a potential geopolitical pluralism. Likeother emerging powers, India calls into question the "eurocentrism" of international relations and suggests that foreign policy is impacted by the cultures of international actors. It projects its normative power and strategicculture into different regions, including Central Asia. With the expected American withdrawal from Afghanistan,Pakistan's increasing fragility, and China's growing power in the post-Soviet space, Central Asia-South Asiarelations have become key to understanding the future of the Eurasian continent. But so far India has not been ableto achieve the objectives that it defined in its "Look North" policy, caught in a dilemma between its would-becultural capital and very concrete geopolitical disadvantages.

CONFERENCE

"Diego Rivera in New York" conference

February 2, 6:30 p.m. Mexican Cultural Institute

2829 16th Street NW Washington, DC, 20009 Free RSVP: RSVP@instituteofmexicodc.org

Join us for this fascinating conference by Leah Dickerman, Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art and the organizer of the Museums

current exhibition Diego Rivera: Murals for the Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition features pieces that Rivera made inthe winter of 1931 1932 when The Museum of Modern Art inaugurated a major exhibition his work. Rivera, a forty fiveyear old, openly Communist, Mexican artist, may have seemed an unlikely choice for the young Museum's second onlyretrospective, but the show was wildly popular. Rivera's international celebrity was based on his fame as a muralist.

But murals, by definition fixed on site, were impossible to transport. In order to solve this problem, the Museumbrought Rivera to New York from Mexico six weeks before the opening, and installed him in a makeshift studio space inan empty gallery. There he produced eight "portable" murals (freestanding fresco panels) which were featured in theshow. Five of these monumental works are now on view at the MoMAs exhibition, along with working drawings andrelated material. This eye-opening discussion will focus on Rivera's extraordinary commission for MoMA, as well as hisill-fated mural for Rockefeller Center. Together these projects provide a compelling perspective on the intersection of art making and radical politics in the 1930s.

"Social justice grantmakers aim to go one step beyond teaching a man to fish, to borrow an old saying. They ask why so few people in this mans community can afford to own a fishing pole; why the county incinerator is

being sited in his neighbourhood, befouling his pond rather than that of his wealthier townsmen; and why hesbeing taught to fish when hes more likely to earn a living wage as an accountant or engineer. So wrote AlbertRuesga, President and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation, in an effort to answer the question: what issocial justice philanthropy? He notes that it draws on a number of traditions: the effort to combat structuralinjustice, to enforce universal human rights, to insure equal distribution of resources, to empower

disenfranchised individuals and communities, and several others.

We have asked a panel of experts to tackle this question, taking their bearings from Ruesgas reflections on thequestion in the articles below. The panel will include Albert Ruesga of the Greater New Orleans Foundation;Christine Doby of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation; Thomasina H.

Friday, February 3, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Paintings by Linda Button explore the visual eloquence of Window Dressing through drawings and oil paintings that feature the multiple realities ofmannequins and the reflections of pedestrians, architecture, sky, and bits offlora

Painter Lesley Clarke uses acrylics and found objects in complex abstractworks focusing on emotion and conflict. Born and raised in Scotland, Lesleyswork invites the viewer into the larger experience of both the work and itsconstruction.

Peter Loge works in assemblage, bringing together found objects and imagesto represent an idea of an object or emotion, rather than the object or emotionitself. Peters work s hows reflection of the world as we imagine it to be.

Edward Bear Miller is an emerging artist whose recent oil paintings explore arange of subjects: mudes, portraits, cityscapes, the mountainous Adirondacks,and the parks and waterways of his native Washignton, DC. Miller applies hispaint rapidly and generously, producing bold, clear images that break downinto gracefully abstract brushwork as the viewer steps forward.
