SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Regions of the Mind: 19th-Century Travel Writing and Neurodiversity
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nIn her 1843 travelogue of the Great Lakes region\, American intellectual Margaret Fuller digresses at length about the “Seeress of Prevorst\,” whose cognitive disturbances were understood as supernatural visitations. This talk proposes one explanation for Fuller and her contemporaries’ preoccupation with cognition while traveling abroad: biopolitical anxieties collided with their real-world observations\, prompting Bostonian intellectuals to question theories of natural inequality in ways that might inform discussions of neurodiversity in the present.\n\nIttai Orr is a 2025-26 Norman and James Katz Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assistant Professor\; English Language & Literature.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Reallocation and Recessions: Re-Evaluating Unemployment in Interwar Britain
DESCRIPTION:How does labor reallocation across industries impact recessions? This paper takes up this question for interwar Britain\, where the Great Depression coincided with significant structural shifts resulting from World War I and the return to the gold standard. The extent to which workers reallocated across industries in response to these allocative shocks is examined using historical data on relative changes in employment and unemployment by industry. Impediments to worker reallocation are found to have played a substantial role in the interwar unemployment crisis\, but labor market fluidity varied considerably across sectors\, regions\, and gender. The Great Depression intensified these patterns\, but leaving the gold standard was associated with only a modest improvement in fluidity. Differences in worker reallocation across demographic\, industrial\, and regional groups shape our understanding of the causes of interwar unemployment and may have implications for modern policymaking regarding labor reallocation and recessions.
