"French B Movies: Suburban Spaces, Universalism, and the Challenge of Hollywood" : 2024 Film and Media Colloquium Series
The Pittsburgh Film and Media Colloquium Series continues with a book release of David Pettersen's new book: French B Movies: Subruban Spaces, Universalism, and the Challenge of Hollywood. There will be a Q&A with the author.
About the book:
In the impoverished outskirts of French cities, known as the banlieues, minority communities are turning to American culture, history, and theory to make their own voices, cultures, and histories visible. Filmmakers have followed suit, turning to Hollywood genre conventions to challenge notions of identity, belonging, and marginalization in mainstream French film.
French B Movies proposes that French banlieue films, far from being a fringe genre, offer a privileged site from which to understand the current state of the French film industry in an age of globalization. This gritty style appears in popular arthouse films such as Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine and Bande de filles (Girlhood) along with the major Netflix hit series Lupin. David Pettersen traces how, in these works and others, directors fuse features of banlieue cinema with genre formulas associated with both Hollywood and Black cultural models, as well as how transnational genre hybridizations, such as B movies, have become part of the ecosystem of the French film industry.
By combining film analysis, cultural history, critical theory, and industry studies, French B Movies reveals how featuring banlieues is as much about trying to imagine new identities and production models for French cinema as it is about representation.

How the Soviet Jew Was Made - Book Discussion
How the Soviet Jew Was Made Book Discussion
Sasha Senderovich will discuss his new book, How the Soviet Jew Was Made, which offers a close reading of post-revolutionary Yiddish and Russian-language literature and film that recasts the Soviet Jew as a novel cultural figure: an ambivalent character navigating between the Jewish past and Bolshevik modernity. Senderovich urges us to see the Soviet Jew anew, as not only a member of a minority group, but also a particular kind of liminal being.
Hosted by the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Languages
About The Author

Together with Harriet Murav, he is currently working on In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union, a collection of stories by several different authors translated from both Yiddish and Russian.
His first monograph, How the Soviet Jew Was Made, was published by Harvard University Press in 2022; he has also published on contemporary Soviet-born immigrant Jewish authors in America. In addition to scholarly work, he has also published essays on literary, cultural, and political topics in the Los Angeles Review of Books, the New York Times, the Forward, Lilith, Jewish Currents, the Stranger, and the New Republic

Portraits of Irish Art in Practice
Jennifer Keating’s Portraits of Irish Art in Practice Book Launch
Portraits of Irish Art in Practice mines the space where aesthetic expression meets lived experience for Irish artists Rita Duffy, Mairéad McClean, Paula McFetridge and Ursula Burke. Portrait essays, woven with photographs, document each artist’s coming of age in Ireland and Northern Ireland, in the context of her emerging practice.
As individuals, their work considers infringements on human rights, systemic violence, gender roles and the negotiation of figurative and literal borders and boundaries. Together, they interrogate past and present conflict and emergence from conflict, locally and globally. Their critical work is threaded with hope in the context of past and present political fragmentation.

Battlefield Cyber: A Lunchtime Dialogue
Battlefield Cyber: How China and Russia Are Undermining Our Democracy and National Security
A Lunchtime Dialogue
Pitt Cyber’s David Hickton will join authors Michael McLaughlin and William Holstein for a timely conversation about cyber warfare and the American response.
Hosted by Pitt Cyber and Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC
The United States is being bombarded with cyber-attacks. From the surge in ransomware groups targeting critical infrastructure to nation states compromising the software supply chain and corporate email servers, malicious cyber activities have reached an all-time high. Russia attracts the most attention, but China is vastly more sophisticated.
They have a common interest in exploiting the openness of the Internet and social media—and our democracy—to erode confidence in our institutions and to exacerbate our societal rifts to prevent us from mounting an effective response. Halting this digital aggression will require Americans to undertake sweeping changes in how we educate, organize and protect ourselves and to ask difficult questions about how vulnerable our largest technology giants are.
About The Authors
McLaughlin is the former Senior Counterintelligence Advisor for United States Cyber Command, where he was responsible for the coordination of all Department of Defense counterintelligence operations in cyberspace. He was at the heart of the Pentagon’s efforts, for example, to prevent Russia from using cyberattacks to disrupt Ukraine’s economy. He is now a cybersecurity attorney in Washington, D.C. and currently serves as a Research Affiliate at the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS), where he leads a team in evaluating Department of Defense policies and federal regulations to enable the integration of government and private sector cyberspace capabilities to provide for national defense
Bill Holstein was based in Hong Kong and Beijing for United Press International and has been following U.S.-China relations for more than 40 years. He also has specialized in covering technology since joining U.S. News & World Report in 1996. He has worked for or written for Business Week, The New York Times, Business 2.0, Fortune and other top publications.

SpearIt - Muslim Prisoner Litigation
Muslim Prisoner Litigation: American Tradition
Book Launch and Discussion with author SpearIt
Pitt's Department of Religious studies presents Muslim Prisoner Litigation Book Launch written by SpearIt.
SpearIt, Professor of Law at Pitt, and Affiliated Faculty in Religious Studies, will discuss his new book, Muslim Prisoner Litigation: An Unsung American Tradition. Copies will be available for sale onsite and light refreshments will be served.
Since the early 1960s, incarcerated Muslims have used legal action to establish their rights to religious freedom behind bars and improve the conditions of their incarceration. Inspired by Islamic principles of justice and equality, these efforts have played a critical role in safeguarding the civil rights not only of imprisoned Muslims but of all those confined to carceral settings.
In this sweeping book—the first to examine this history in depth—SpearIt writes a missing chapter in the history of Islam in America while illuminating new perspectives on the role of religious expression and experience in the courtroom.
About The Author
SpearIt is an internationally recognized scholar and teacher, and is a Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. He is the author of American Prisons: A Critical Primer on Culture and Conversion to Islam (First Edition Design 2017), and his most recent book is entitled, Muslim Prisoner Litigation: An Unsung American Tradition (University of California Press 2023), which examines the history of Muslim prisoner litigation through the lens of OutCrit jurisprudence.
As an instructor, SpearIt has taught a range of courses in the law school curriculum, including Evidence, Criminal Procedure, Criminal Law, Sentencing, Corrections Law, and Professional Responsibility, among other courses.

Jennifer Silbaugh - A Dove In The Shadows
A Dove In The Shadows
Book Signing & Reading with Jennifer Silbaugh
A Dove In The Shadows is a memoir of Jennifer Silbaugh's journey from decades as a patient in the mental health system to becoming a person who helps others as they travel similar paths. She strives every day to maintain her recovery and make her wellness her number one priority.
Jennifer was caught in a system she depended on to keep her alive, but reached the end of the road, looked around, and saw nothing but darkness.
When the mental health community ran out of options to help her, she chose to turn within. She decided to live fully, with hope, seeking joy, knowing that she needed to be in charge to create what she wanted in life.
And that's when she transformed her darkness into the most beautiful light.
Though she was once behind locked doors, looking for ways to stop the pain in her head, she was able to heal and find peace. She discovered that the place where she'd suffered the greatest was the place where she was meant to work, to help others in the shadows. As a certified peer specialist, she could tell others she believes in them too, that they can recover like she did.
If you've struggled with mental health-through depression, anxiety, despair, desperation-then know there really is hope for change. And sometimes it lies within.
Jennifer's story inspires the reader to be their own advocate, friend, and hero on the journey from broken to belonging.
About The Author
Jennifer is a first-time author and a mental health advocate. She is a healthy, strong woman and a daughter, sister, wife, dog-mom, homeowner, artist, handbell ringer, consumer, advocate, and professional in the mental health field. She is dedicated to offering help and hope to those suffering from mental health challenges and finds joy in her family, friends, art, and God.
Jennifer's journey from patient to professional began in 1993 as a patient seeking help with her own mental health struggles. After many years and some changes in the system, she was (and is) considered a consumer. A tumultuous journey involving a great deal of pain, lots of self-initiated hard work, and some key medical professionals started Jennifer's advocacy path.
Beginning in 2010, she was an advocate for UPMC's Youth and Family Training Institute (YFTI) and worked on the Peer Support & Advocacy Network's (PSAN) Warmline from 2011-2013.A commitment to her own healing allowed Jennifer to become a certified peer specialist from 2013-2020. Jennifer was the first certified peer specialist to receive the UPMC Award for Commitment in Excellence and Service (ACES) in 2015.
Jennifer spends her summers camping and picking out beach glass on the shores of Lake Erie. She has a passion for recycling and finding beauty in what others see as trash. She loves finding treasures at garage sales and her local Goodwill outlet. Jennifer believes sharing her story is empowering and hopes it can help others in their healing journey. She lives in Rostraver Township, Pa., with her husband Scott and her poodle, Petey.
Proceeds from books sales will benefit UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital's "Making Minds Matter" fund.

Katie Booth - The Invention of Miracles Book Event
The Invention of Miracles: Language, Power, and Alexander Graham Bell’s Quest to End Deafness
Lecture with Katie Booth and The Thornburgh Family Lecture Series on Disability Law & Policy
Moderated by Dr. Kenneth DeHaan, Professor and Director of the MA in Sign Language Education Program at Gallaudet University.
Invention of Miracles is a story of brilliance and a reminder of the ethical responsibilities of great minds. Taking place in the Victorian Age and an era of expansive innovation and invention, Booth tells parallel stories - the first details the advent of one of the world’s most famous inventions, the telephone; while the second powerfully reveals the many unintended and dire consequences that were perpetrated during this time by its inventor, Alexander Graham Bell.
Booth’s biographical account of Alexander Graham Bell depicts a passionate and brilliant man who gained international fame racing to invent the telephone while he was also fixated on curing deafness by teaching the deaf to speak. Each of his pursuits originated from a place of love -- for his mother and his wife each of whom lived with non-congenital deafness, and for his father who was an internationally renowned elocutionist. Despite his good intentions, Bell had a profound and long-lasting negative impact on the language development and education of the world’s deaf community in the 19th and 20th centuries. This impact continues today.
As the story unfolds, Booth demonstrates that good intentions can easily be corrupted by the absence and the denial of scientific data. Join us to learn more!
About The Author
Katie Booth has been researching this story for more than fifteen years, poring over Bell’s papers, Library of Congress archives, and the records of deaf schools around America. But she’s also lived with this story for her entire life. Witnessing the damaging impact of Bell’s legacy on her family would set her on a path that overturned everything she thought she knew about language, power, deafness, and the telephone.
Katie Booth teaches writing at the University of Pittsburgh. Her work has appeared in The Believer, Catapult, McSweeney’s, and Harper’s Magazine, and has been highlighted on Longreads and Longform; “The Sign for This” was a notable essay in the 2016 edition of Best American Essays. Booth received a number of prestigious fellowships to support the research for The Invention of Miracles, including from the Library of Congress and the Massachusetts Historical Society. She was raised in a mixed hearing and deaf family. This is her first book.
Refreshments will be served. Parking suggested at Soldiers and Sailors auditorium garage.
This lecture series is co-sponsored by the Institute of Politics, Pitt Law, the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, the David C. Frederick Honors College, the department of Disability Resources and Services with assistance from the Office of the Chancellor.
