Virtual Event

On Tuesday, January 13, join independent scholar and New York Times contributor Eve M. Kahn for an in-depth discussion of her new book, <a href="https://fordhampress.com/queen-of-bohemia-predicts-own-death-hb-9781531511678.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death: Gilded Age Journalist Zoe Anderson Norris</a>.
Zoe Anderson Norris was a Kentucky belle turned restless Kansas housewife who became a celebrated writer, reformer, and publisher on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Through her bimonthly magazine, The East Side, she chronicled the hardships of immigrant life, often reporting undercover dressed as a pauper. Guided by her motto, “To fight for the poor with my pen,” Zoe boldly confronted corrupt landlords, charity officials, xenophobic Ellis Island guards, and garbage collectors who ignored the unsanitary conditions that spread disease.
Queen of Bohemia retraces Zoe’s path across the city, bringing to life a New York where many of the buildings that witnessed her activism still stand today. Along the way, Kahn reveals a journalist who blended incisive social critique with a love for the city’s beauty and a deep passion for community.

Today, half of the world’s 7,000-plus languages grow increasingly endangered, while contemporary cities, supported by migration, are more linguistically diverse than ever before. As speakers migrate across the globe, linguists and language activists are racing against time to map and document lesser-known, minority, endangered, and Indigenous languages.
Join us on Wednesday, January 21, as Ross Perlin, author of <a href="https://groveatlantic.com/book/language-city/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Language City: The Fight to Preserve Endangered Mother Tongues</a>, examines the past, present, and future of the world’s most linguistically diverse city, New York. He will also discuss multilingualism, language policy, and the role technology plays in the evolution and documentation of languages.

On Tuesday, January 27th, Tricia Romano, the author of <a href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/tricia-romano/the-freaks-came-out-to-write/9781541736399/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Freaks Came Out to Write: The Definitive History of the Village Voice, the Radical Paper that Changed American Culture</a>, will discuss the symbiotic relationship between New York City and the alternative weekly, the Village Voice, and how this relationship benefited both entities.
First issued in 1955, the Voice showcased the city as a hub for artists, poets, musicians, politicians, and activists, inspiring people to move here. The alt-weekly covered topics such as the environment, government corruption, housing, hip-hop, the avant-garde art scene, Off-Broadway, and the AIDS epidemic with gravitas, revolutionizing journalism.
Discover how the Village Voice became not just a local, but also a national and global influence, and how this highly acclaimed oral history came to be.

JERSEY CITY, NJ &mdash; MKT Ready Fitness Club, a Jersey City&ndash;based Pilates and movement studio, has been named Best Pilates Studio in Jersey City, and is expanding with a second location, The Pilates Market &mdash; a reformer-only Pilates studio set to open soon.
Founded by Jersey City local Kendra Beauford and Yves Gahimbare, MKT Ready has become known for its modern approach to Pilates, inclusive instruction, and strong sense of community. The &ldquo;Best Pilates Studio&rdquo; recognition reflects the studio&rsquo;s commitment to high-quality movement and thoughtful programming.
The Pilates Market builds on that foundation while introducing a boutique, reformer-only concept focused on small-group classes and personalized instruction. The new studio is designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners seeking a refined Pilates experience rooted in strength, alignment, and consistency.
&ldquo;Being recognized as Best Pilates Studio is incredibly meaningful because it comes directly from the community,&rdquo; said Beauford. &ldquo;The Pilates Market is a natural next step &mdash; it allows us to expand while staying true to the quality and intention that define our work.&rdquo;
The Pilates Market is expected to open in Jersey City at the beginning of 2026. Additional details, including class schedules and founding memberships, will be announced soon.
