The launch of Trinity's new Centre for Resistance Studies will be marked by a keynote lecture from Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat (Professor of History and Italian Studies, NYU), ‘How to Resist a Strongman: Lessons from a Century of Authoritarian Rule' The Centre aims to provide an intellectual response to the growth of populism and authoritarianism across the globe by fostering interdisciplinary research in the field of resistance studies. It will provide a forum for academics, postgraduate researchers, intellectuals and activists to discuss the meanings and manifestations of ‘resistance' and its cognate terms, such as opposition, dissent, protest, non-conformism and resilience. The disciplines represented in the Centre include history, cultural studies, the social sciences, language and literature, law, peace studies and the health sciences, and its geographical scope stretches from Hong Kong to South America, through Europe (East and West), Ireland (North and South), the Near and Middle East and the United States. The motivations behind establishing this new research centre are both academic and civic, and future activities will include events for academic as well as public audiences. In addition to organising conferences, panel discussions and podcast series on relevant themes, the Centre intends to establish a special ‘resistance collection' of archival and contemporary sources that will be made available for prospective researchers. The Centre for Resistance Studies will be launched by Vice Provost of Trinity College, Juergen Barkhoff and the event will feature a keynote lecture from Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat of New York University, entitled ‘How to Resist a Strongman: Lessons from a Century of Authoritarian Rule.' This lecture will examine a century of resistance to ‘strongman' rule, using examples from Italy, Chile, Russia, America, Libya, Turkey and elsewhere. Professor Ben-Ghiat will look at the impact of changing media technologies on practices of dissent, and will also discuss what has not changed in relation, for example, to the use of mass non-violent protest or to the use of the body as a site of resistance.

Explore the meaning and story behind one of David Bowie's most iconic songs. In 1973, while travelling by train across the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, David Bowie had a brief and seemingly insignificant stopover in Warsaw. However, what he witnessed there, and elsewhere in the Eastern Bloc, served as an inspiration for Warszawa from the widely-acclaimed 1977 album Low. In this episode, our hosts John and Nitzan will look deeper into the origins of this iconic song. Why was Bowie so fascinated with Eastern Europe and the nature of Cold War politics in the first place? How did the sights and sounds that Bowie witnessed during his brief time in Warsaw impact the song’s creation? What were the inspirations for the sonorous yet mysterious lyrics found in the song? And finally, our hosts will attempt to answer arguably the most perplexing question – is Warszawa even about Warsaw? Like our show? Sign up for our newsletter!
