SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium: Dilip Ninan (Tufts)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Puzzle of Known Violation\n\nAbstract: \nSuppose it is true that I should sell all my possessions and give the money to the poor. Then it would seem to follow that I should sell all my possessions. This piece of reasoning is underwritten by a principle known as Inheritance: if p entails q\, then \"should p\" entails \"should q\". But Åqvist (1967) pointed out some apparent counterexamples to Inheritance: \"Max should have known he was breaking a rule\" does not entail \"Max should have been breaking a rule\" even though \"Max knew he was breaking a rule\" entails \"Max was breaking a rule\". I argue that Åqvist's observation is an instance of something more general: for many p and q where p entails and presupposes q\, \"should p\" does not entail \"should q\". I sketch a semantics that accommodates this fact while still preserving the truth of many instances of Inheritance. Finally\, I show that our discussion has consequences for a rather different debate in philosophy\, as it seems to undermine a recent argument against the knowledge account of assertion.\n\n\nResearch/Areas of Interest\nPhilosophy of Language\, Metaphysics\, Philosophy of Mind\n\nEducation\nPhD in Philosophy\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, United States\, 2008\nMSc in Economic and Social History\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2002\nBPhil in Philosophy\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2001\nBA in Philosophy\, University of Western Ontario\, London\, Canada\, 1999\n\nBiography\nDilip Ninan received his Ph.D. from MIT\, B.Phil. from Oxford University\, and B.A. from the University of Western Ontario. Before coming to Tufts\, he spent three years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.\n\nHis research interests include the philosophy of language\, formal semantics\, metaphysics\, and the philosophy of mind. He has worked on the representation of de se and de re attitudes\, the nature of personal identity over time\, and on foundational questions in semantics.\n\nWhen not philosophizing\, he enjoys reading\, running\, cooking\, and skiing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | “Working the Loops: Co-Constructing Painful Bodies and Categories in Thailand”
DESCRIPTION:“In the U.S.\, patients and practitioners usually imagine that pain is a thing\, that one’s approach to it may change how one copes with it\, but not the pain itself. This is connected to medicine’s insistence on a ‘view from nowhere\,’ perceiving nature without changing it. Meanwhile\, STS scholars have long taught us about looping effects between categories and the world. In this talk\, I present ethnography on painful bodies in Thailand\, where the idea of looping between category and reality is part of everyday cosmology. I share about: doctors who worry that giving ‘chronic pain’ a diagnostic code will bring it into being\; monks who suspect that pain equals fear-of-death\, leading them to induce near-death experiences\; anesthesiologists with evidence that poor Thai patients need less anesthesia during surgery (because lifelong pain-as-necessity crafts brains with low-pain neurotransmitter profiles?)\; and patients who dream that pain is a reincarnated being and awake with different pain. Through this ontological adventure\, I ask whether STS might benefit not just from ethically identifying co-constructionism as a sociohistorical force\, but also from examining times and places where people work co-constructionism to their advantage as a matter of course.”\n\nScott Stonington is a medical and cultural anthropologist\, and an internal medicine physician. His research broadly addresses the globalization of biomedical ethics and expertise. His first project in this area focused on decision-making at the end of life in Thailand\, where individuals face a complex combination of ethical frameworks generated by high-tech medical care\, human-rights politics\, and the metaphysical demands of dying. Dr. Stonington spent two years accompanying Thai elders at their deathbeds\, documenting their children’s attempts to pay back their “debt of life” via intensive medical care\, as well as the ensuing “spirit ambulance\,” a rush to get patients on life-support home at the last possible moment to orchestrate the final breath in a spiritually advantageous place. Dr. Stonington’s second project in this area focuses on global debates over the use of opiates for pain management. He spent a year accompanying patients in severe pain in Northern Thailand as they navigated their suffering within a fraught ethical environment\, from Thailand’s brutal drug war\, to its Buddhist-based value for pain as a spiritual path\, to a broader global ambivalence about how best to treat pain. Dr. Stonington’s secondary research agenda addresses medical epistemology in the U.S.\, specifically how health practitioners decide what constitutes true and/or useful knowledge and how this affects patients. This work grows out of his ongoing practice as an Internal Medicine physician\, both in the hospital and in primary care.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Calabi-Yau varieties\, essential skeleta\, and Berkovich spaces
DESCRIPTION:Associated to a Calabi--Yau (e.g. abelian varieties\, K3 surfaces)\, one can associate an essential skeleton\, which lives in the Berkovich analytification of the Calabi--Yau. This skeleton originates from mirror symmetry and captures geometrical and topological information of the Calabi--Yau. For example\, it is related to the birational geometry of the Calabi--Yau\, and in some situations the Calabi--Yau admits a Lagrangian fibration over this skeleton. \nWe will only assume knowledge of the definition of Calabi--Yaus and will introduce by examples.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Marina Suarez
DESCRIPTION:The Early Cretaceous is an important time of transition in Earth History. During this time significant variability in the carbon cycle likely affected the trajectory of the climate system and the evolution of life. Records\, especially continental\, of the Early Cretaceous are still poorly constrained. Even the base of what is considered the Cretaceous System is not clearly defined. To this end multiple investigations are ongoing to improve our understanding of the timing of Early Cretaceous continental rock records and to provide more quantitative paleoclimate records during this important time. Here I summarize the results to date of efforts to improve Early Cretaceous chronostratigraphic constraint of rock records as well as climate records for this time\; especially of the Western margin of the Western Interior Basin and northwestern China). Our efforts so far indicate that many of the Early Cretaceous units we investigate are only partially contemporaneous and for some locations extend deeper into the Cretaceous than previously expected. Climate parameters are consistent with the prevailing interpretations of the Cretaceous as a greenhouse climate\, but variation in these records show instances of cooler than expected temperatures during some times.
