Series: Window on Williams
Lectures and special events from the Williams College campus in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
Williams Faculty Lecture Series 2023 – Greg Mitchell, Panics Without Borders
We are living in a time of great panic about “sex trafficking”—an idea whose meaning has been expanded beyond any real usefulness by evangelicals, conspiracy theorists, anti-prostitution feminists, and politicians with their own agendas. This is especially visible during events like the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games, when claims circulate that as many as 40,000 women and girls will be sex trafficked.
Window on Williams – Club Zambezi Dance Party 2024
Zambezi, founded in 1992 by Ernest Brown, plays traditional music from Zimbabwe, Zambia and the African continent. They maintain a broad repertoire that embraces music broadly with a musical depth that is enhanced by the quality of student musicianship and orchestration that includes brass, woodwinds, strings and percussion as an expression towards hybridity. Artist in Residence: Tendai Muparutsa
WCMA – Conversation to Open ‘Across Shared Waters’
Ariana Maki, curator of "Across Shared Waters: Contemporary Artists in Dialogue with Tibetan Art from the Jack Shear Collection," leads a conversation between two artists who have artwork in the show, Marie-Dolma Chophel and Palden Weinreb.

Williams Faculty Lecture Series 2023 – Leo Goldmakher, Primes I Have Enjoy’d
