Windham-Campbell Prizes Festival

The 2025 Windham-Campbell Prize recipients will be in residence on Yale’s campus from September 16-19 for a multi-day international literary festival during which they will share their work, engage in conversation on a range of subjects, and celebrate reading and the written word with the New Haven community. All events are free and open to the public.

The full schedule of talks, discussions, and readings will be available at windhamcampbell.org in mid-August 2025.

Mondays at Beinecke: The Art of Listening: Testimony-Centered Teaching Practices from the Fortunoff Video Archive

The Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies emerged from a grassroots effort of survivors in the New Haven area to document their stories on video, starting in the late 1970s. The archive’s origins in the survivor community led to the development of an interview method that centers the voice of the witness. This conversation will focus on how the Fortunoff Archive’s ethos and interview methodology shape its current work with educators.
