Duke Arts Presents: The Revival: It Is Our Duty

The Revival: It Is Our Duty, originally created to celebrate Juneteenth, is led by Harlem-based composer Troy Anthony. Performed by The Fire Ensemble, the work lifts people out of their sorrow through songs and rituals that center collective liberation. Drawing on the traditions of the Black church, The Revival invites audiences into a space of healing, joy, and transformation. As they say in the Black church, "you won't leave the way you came."

Latke vs. Hamantasch Debate with Jewish Life at Duke

Jewish Life at Duke is hosting a consequential debate for the ages: which is better? Latkes? Or Hamantaschen?

Join us as the answer is debated and revealed in a show-down with two Duke professors!

The Latke-Hamantasch Debate is a deliberately humorous academic debate about the relative merits and meanings of these two items of Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. The debate originated at the University of Chicago in 1946 and has since been held annually.

Open to all Duke students, faculty, staff, and the general public. Ticketing information coming soon.

Normalization of Gynecological Pain and Inductive Risk Evaluation in the CDC's Contraceptive Guidance

People with severe menstrual pain, fibroids, or undergoing many gynecological procedures are often not believed with reporting pain, but other times are told to bear the pain. I argue that normalization of gynecological pain explains why some pain reports are viewed as credible but do not inspire action to manage the pain during institutional decision-making.
