The work is installed in MIT's new concert hall and is free and open to the public; no tickets are required.

Islamic Windows as a Prism into MIT’s Past, Present, and FutureFebruary 26, 2025 - July 17, 2025Hidden within MIT’s Distinctive Collections, many architectural elements from the earliest days of the Institute’s architecture program still survive as part of the Rotch Art Collection. Among the artworks that conservators salvaged was a set of striking windows of gypsum and stained-glass, dating to the late 18th- to 19th c. Ottoman Empire. This exhibition illuminates the life of these historic windows, tracing their refracted histories from Egypt to MIT, their ongoing conservation, and the cutting-edge research they still prompt.The Maihaugen Gallery (14N-130) is open Monday through Thursday, 10am - 4pm, excluding Institute holidays.

- Apr 3012:00 PMDollar Dominance, Deterrence, and DenialProfessor Carla Norrlöf from the University of Toronto will speak at the MIT Security Studies Program's Wednesday Seminar.This talk examines how the United States leverages the dollar’s global dominance as a national security tool. By employing strategies of deterrence and denial, the US uses its financial hegemony to influence other states and non-state actors. This financial dominance has prompted others to seek alternatives to mitigate their exposure to US monetary power presenting risks to the dollar’s primacy with significant security implications. Professor Norrlöf will explore what these emerging dynamics mean for the future of US hegemony and global order.
