Walk Her Way New York City is a collection of 10 curated walking tours through New York neighbourhoods, each celebrating the city's history and the women that have made their mark here.Authors Jana Mader and Kaitlyn Allen have meticulously researched and traced the city blocks, uncovering important landmarks, events and women's stories, both well-known and forgotten, to create a series of fun and eye-opening walks that connect you to the city that surrounds you.Featuring beautiful illustrated maps and portraits by Aja O'Han, each walk covers a different neighbourhood, including Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo, Central Park, Chelsea, Chinatown, East Side, Greenwich Village, Harlem, Midtown, Roosevelt Island, and SoHo. The walks can be done individually or paired together for an ultimate walking history lesson. While some stops along the walks are worth an extended visit, such as a museum, others are marked as “on the way.” All include significant landmarks of women's history, some of them not yet memorialised. The stories and events of famous and lesser-known women come alive within the pages of the book and on each street corner, as readers can walk in the steps of this diverse set of creative women.

The Make America Great Again movement in the United States gives voice to a rising nationalism and tribalism we see around the world, from Modi’s India, to Putin’s Russian, Orban’s Hungary, and Netanyahu’s Israel. Against such a tribalism is the dream of a world citizenship, the cosmopolitan ideal that sees all human beings as part of one large political world. Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism is dedicated to exploring the humanity of both tribal affiliation and cosmopolitan dreams. Volume 13 of the HA. The Yearbook of Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities centers on the compelling theme of tribalism and cosmopolitanism. Inspired by the 2024 Hannah Arendt Center Conference Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: How Can We Imagine a Pluralist Politics, it brings together contributions by prominent thinkers such as Sebastian Junger, Fintan O’Toole, Seyla Benhabib, Niobe Way, Leon Botstein, Lyndsey Stonebridge, and more, featuring insightful conversations and talks held at the conference, alongside in-depth essays that build on and expand on the themes of tribalism and cosmopolitanism. An illuminating anthology of texts relating to both tribalism and cosmopolitanism from Anthony Appiah, Hannah Arendt, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Cicero, Emile Durkheim, Epictetus, Sigmund Freud, Immanuel Kant, Ibn Khaldûn, Martha Nussbaum, and more enriches the volume. The goal is to offer a broad introduction to the inquiry into the human tension between our need to belong to tribes and our aspirations to cosmopolitan humanism. Present scholarship and canonical texts are put into conversation to provide an extended sourcebook of ideas for the interested reader.

How can we experience joy in dark times, and what does it mean to truly love the world amidst suffering, injustice, and uncertainty? This volume, based on the Hannah Arendt Center’s 17th annual fall conference, explores joy as a complex and vital force. Drawing on philosophy, literature, the arts, and lived experience, contributors examine how joy differs from happiness, how it can foster resilience, and how it connects us to meaning beyond ourselves. Engaging with Arendt’s concept of Amor Mundi, the book offers a rigorous, timely exploration of joy as both ethical and existential practice, providing scholars and students with new insights into human flourishing and the cultivation of hope in fractured times.
