Waterfronts: Cities, Shipping, and the Sea
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ 68 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY
Does every “great” city possess a waterfront? Historical hubs of trade, waterfronts inculcate cultures that structure and permeate modern urban space—cultures of capital, labor, leisure, sex, and, in a de-industrial age, decay. Inextricable from the history of cities, waterfronts are, by extension, inextricable from the history of transnational capitalism.

Class Description
Description
What you'll learn in this lecture class:
Did you miss our sold-out lecture in March? We’re bringing it back virtually on Zoom as a fundraiser to help QED reopen when they can. This lecture will be a special Mother’s Day edition, so you can share this in event virtually with your mom!
On this talk, Marie Carter will take you on a journey back in time to learn about the women who were considered “witches” in pre-twentieth century New York. Learn about New York City’s only witch trial, and the witches who inhabited Broome Street (no joke here) and many other enclaves of downtown. These women were fortunetellers (and many were moms), and their practice allowed them to make money and maintain autonomy in their business practices. In this talk, you’ll become acquainted with the methods and lifestyles of these infamous “witches” and the men who tried to frame them.
You'll receive a special link and password with your ticket purchase on the day of the event (or sooner).
