Talk summary: The process of technological displacement of workers began in the automobile industry in the 1960’s, and with the rise of connectivity and AI it is accelerating rapidly. For example, it may be no surprise, given what’s happened in the automobile industry, that the world’s first farm that is completely run by robots has just opened in Japan; or that a new robot is available for the construction industry that can lay bricks three times faster than a human. This kind of displacement of manual labor happened in previous industrial revolutions as well. More surprising, however, is the breadth of jobs that can be replaced by intelligent automation; it isn’t just manual labor that’s being replaced: even writers, for instance, are being displaced by computer software. In January, 2016, “the Associated Press (AP) revealed that [a software program called] Wordsmith has been rolling out content since July 2014 without any human intervention.” This Wordsmith software has been generating 1000 stories per month, which is “14 times more than the previous manual output of AP's reporters and editors.” In terms of sheer productivity, human writers cannot keep up with computers and robots. So what can we do as a society to compensate for technological unemployment, and to prevent the poverty, dislocation, and even violence that might follow, as it has in past industrial revolutions? My talk will present both the problems and possible short and longterm solutions to them.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Kevin LaGrandeur is Professor at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), specializing in technology and culture. He is also a Fellow of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technology, an international think tank, and a co-founder of the NY Posthuman Research Group and of the Visual Pathways Technology Consortium (for researching tech apps for the blind). Dr. LaGrandeur has written many articles and conference presentations on digital culture; on Artificial Intelligence and ethics; and on literature and science. His publications have appeared in journals such as Computers & Texts, Computers and the Humanities, and Science Fiction Studies; in books such as Eloquent Images: Word and Image in the Age of New Media and Beyond Artificial Intelligence: The Disappearing Human-Machine Divide, which contains his essay, ‘Emotion, Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics.’ He has also published on Artificial Intelligence, society, and ethics in popular publications such as USA Today and United Press International (UPI). His book Artificial Slaves (Routledge, 2013), about the premodern cultural history of Artificial Intelligence and its foreshadowing of today’s technology, was Awarded a 2014 Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies Prize. In April, 2017, his latest book, co-edited with James Hughes, was published. About the future of AI’s displacement of human workers and how to meet this challenge, it is titled Surviving the Machine Age: Intelligent Technology and the Transformation of Human Work.

This event is free and open to the public.

The Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Genetics and Newborn Screening (September 25, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43249 43249-9748036@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 25, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Advances in prenatal screening and genetic manipulation have the potential to all but eliminate birth defects and genetic disorders. For example, prenatal genetic testing in Iceland has almost completely erased incidents of down’s syndrome in newborns. This has led to growing concerns over creating designer babies, hyperbole about the potential for a new era of eugenics, and broader questions about whether science is outstripping societal or ethical norms in regards to human genetic diversity.

Join Joselin Linder, author of “The Family Gene”, and Jodyn Platt, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School in a panel discussion about the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics and newborn screening. The conversation will be moderated by Kayte Spector-Bagdady, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School and chief of the research ethics service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine.

Music, Work, Society: Speculations and Mediations at the Jahrhundertwende (September 28, 2017 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44745 44745-9969053@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 28, 2017 5:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

In 19th century German cultural and academic life a wide-ranging discussion emerged about the relationship between music, work, society, and political economy. A disparate group sought to position music not as the ancients and early moderns had done, as a matter of mathematics, physics, and cosmic speculation, but as a matter of biology, physiology, ethnology, sociology, and economics. Focusing mainly on the political economist Karl Bücher and his influence across various media, this talk examines one social scientist’s encounter with music and follows its reverberations outside of academic life.

Celia Applegate is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Chair of History and Professor of History at Vanderbilt University. She studies the culture, society, and politics of modern Germany, with particular interest in the history of music, nationalism and national identity. She is the author of A Nation of Provincials: The German Idea of Heimat (Berkeley, 1990), the co-editor (with musicologist Pamela Potter) of Music and German National Identity (Chicago, 2000), and the author of Bach in Berlin: Nation and Culture in Mendelssohn’s Revival of the St. Matthew Passion (Cornell, 2005), winner of the DAAD/GSA Book Prize. She is currently working on comprehensive interpretation of musical life in Germany from the 17th century to the present, titled "Music and the Germans: A History." She teaches courses on modern German politics and culture, the history of the Holocaust, of European thought, and of European nationalism and ethnic conflicts. In 2017-18, Applegate is a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton, NJ), sponsored by a grant from the Edward T. Cone Foundation as a Edward T. Cone Member in Music Studies.

#fragilemasculinity: The Role of Threatened Masculinity and Anonymity in Men's Perpetration of Online Harassment (October 6, 2017 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43553 43553-9818658@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 6, 2017 3:00pm

Women navigate an unprecedented amount of gender-based harassment in online environments. The breadth of this aggression has received attention not only from academics, but in popular press, where it has been widely critiqued as unfortunate consequences of trolling culture. Largely absent from these conversations is the role of gender, and in particular masculinity, in sustaining harassment in digital contexts. In this talk, I examine the connections between masculinity and sociotechnical affordances of computer-mediated communication in men's motivations to gender harass online. I propose that men's endorsement of online gender-based harassment is motivated by attempts to (re)affirm their masculinity following threats that question their manhood. Anonymity afforded by online communication can exacerbate these effects, since the impression of being anonymous makes it easier to engage in harassment. Technology therefore enables gender harassment to thrive, yet men's motivations to gender harass are grounded in performances of masculinity and maintenance of gender relations between (and among) women and men.

Generalized Entropy and Epistemic Risk (October 11, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45336 45336-10161395@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of Philosophy

This talk will focus on developing a theory of risk for the normative assessment of an agent's credence functions, within the framework of epistemic utility theory. In particular, I propose a general theory of epistemic risk in terms of relative sensitivity to different types of graded error. While this account is analogous in important respects to contemporary approaches to risk in ordinary expected utility theory, it has a uniquely epistemic interpretation, which has its roots in Peirce's ``economy of research''. I express this framework in information-theoretic terms and show that epistemic risk, so understood, is a scaled reflection of information entropy. As a result, every unit increase in risk comes with a corresponding unit decrease in information entropy and epistemic risk may be expressed in terms of entropic change. I explain the significance of this for the choice of scoring rule, the selection of priors, and the Laplacian principle of indifference.

On miracles: Reflections on the dynamical and geometrical approaches to spacetime theories (October 13, 2017 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45338 45338-10161397@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 13, 2017 3:00pm

The dynamical approach to relativity, developed and defended by Brown and Pooley offers an interpretation of relativistic spacetime theories based on a claim about the origin of chronogeometricity---the property that the metric is surveyed by rods and clocks---of the metric in those theories. The sine qua non of this view is its claim about the origin of chronometricity but this is often overshadowed by the reductive ontological claim that follows in the special case of special relativity (SR). As a result, its status as a viable interpretation of general relativity (GR) is often overlooked. In GR, this interpretation relies on the existence of two contingent, unexplained, seemingly conspiratorial facts---miracles, if you will. In this paper, I argue, based on recent work by Schuller and collaborators, that the dynamical approach, in fact, requires only one miracle. Based on this, I argue that it provides an explanatorily superior interpretation to orthodox geometrical approaches.

Moral Norms and the Aesthetic Appreciation of Nature (October 20, 2017 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45805 45805-10307557@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 20, 2017 3:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of Philosophy

The central issue in environmental aesthetics is whether there are norms that constrain aesthetic judgments about nature, and if so, what are they? This paper asks whether there are "moral" norms that act as such constraints. I will argue that the recent attempts to demonstrate that there are have been unsuccessful, but I will also try to construct the best case I can for the existence of such a moral norm.

Those who believe that morality has a bearing on aesthetic judgments about nature take one of two tacks. The first appeals to the idea that morally bad states of nature detract from their aesthetic value. Call this idea "interaction." The other tack is that certain aesthetic judgments manifest disrespect for nature, which makes them defective or inappropriate, while others manifest respect making them more appropriate. Call this idea "respect for nature."

I will first explain why constraints on aesthetic judgment play such central role in environmental aesthetics. I will then consider each of the two approaches to justifying the claim that there are moral constraints on such judgments, and in each case show that there has not been successful arguments for a moral norm that bears on aesthetic judgments. I will then use elements from each approach to make a case for the existence of such moral norms. I will argue that there are at least two reasonable competing moral norms that bear on our aesthetic judgments about nature, and in general, it is permissible to adopt either one in the face of degraded natural environments.

In the wake of continued structural asymmetries between women of color and white feminisms, this essay revisits intersectional tensions in Catharine MacKinnon’s Toward a Feminist Theory of the State while exploring productive spaces of coalition. To explore such spaces, we reframe Toward a Feminist Theory of the State in terms of its epistemological project and highlight possible synchronicities with liberational features in women-of-color feminisms. This is done, in part, through an analysis of the philosophical role “method” plays in MacKinnon’s argument, and by reframing her critique of juridical neutrality and objectivity as epistemic harms. In the second section, we sketch out a provisional coalitional theory of liberation that builds on MacKinnon’s feminist epistemological insights and aligns them with decolonizing projects in women-of-color feminisms, suggesting new directions and conceptual revisions that are on the way to coalition.

Transparency: The Neglected Question in Science and Values (November 1, 2017 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/45337 45337-10161396@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 11:30am

The recent philosophical literature on science and values has focused primarily on questions about whether non-epistemic values can play legitimate roles in scientific reasoning and, if so, how to distinguish influences that are legitimate from those that are illegitimate. This paper argues that the question of how to achieve adequate transparency about the influences of non-epistemic values deserves much more attention. First, the paper argues that transparency is crucial for responding to an important ethical worry about non-epistemic influences on science—namely, that they threaten principles of democratic accountability and individual self-determination. Second, it shows that achieving adequate transparency about the influences of non-epistemic values is much more difficult than it initially appears. Finally, it proposes an overarching strategy for achieving greater transparency, focusing on the identification of specific value judgments that are of particular significance to stakeholders. It concludes by highlighting the wide range of institutions and initiatives needed for implementing this strategy and by identifying a number of questions that merit further discussion.

Every country in the world imposes strong restrictions on immigration. Can those restrictions be justified?

On one hand, immigration restrictions seem to impinge on individual liberty. Greater freedom of movement will also make potential immigrants better off. On the other hand, open-border policies might strain civil society and harm the interests of certain groups of citizens (especially the poor). They are also politically unpopular in democratic countries. Modern political reality further raises the issue of partial border enforcement, as is presently the case in the U.S. Regardless of whether current immigration restrictions are justified, is there injustice in selectively enforcing immigration laws?

The panelists will defend very different answers to these questions. Reihan Salam argues from a conservative perspective that open-border policies will strain important social and political institutions, in part by dramatically increasing inequality. Michael Huemer argues for the libertarian position against restrictions on immigration on grounds of justice and liberty. And Hrishikesh Joshi contends, from classical liberal starting points, that partial border enforcement is both unjust and bad public policy.

The panel will end with a Q&A session, and refreshments will be served!

This talk will argue for a form of humanism on which we have reason to care about human beings that we do not have to care about other animals, and human beings have rights against us other animals lack. Humanism respects the equal worth of those born with severe congenital cognitive disabilities. We can defend this view from the charge of illicit “speciesism” and explain why being human is an ethically relevant fact.

Join the Nineteenth Century Forum for a Lazarus Belle's dissertation workshop.

This dissertation chapter asks a simple question: to what extent does America's "first philosopher," Jonathan Edwards, demonstrate a strand of philosophical argument that resembles and sets the intellectual conditions for William James's doctrine of radical empiricism? A corollary to the more well-known method of pragmatism, radical empiricism has received less attention, despite being a major concern for James in his later years. Not against but in relation to the obvious reasons why radical empiricism emerges in the history of western philosophy, my gambit is that there are precedents within American religious culture from the antebellum revivals to the postbellum Social Gospel movement that generate the intellectual conditions calling for the radicalization of classical empiricism. This chapter deals specifically with Edwards's place within the so-called first great awakening of the 1730s-40s and his revision of empiricism to explain religious experiences. This examination of the theological underpinnings of American revivalism is the first step in a larger intellectual history about the religious "origins" of pragmatism.

A fundamental and early difference between Western philosophy and Chinese Confucianism is the importance in the West of certain dichotomies and their absence in China. I refer to reason/emotions and mind/matter, which, as dichotomies, are absent in classical Chinese thought. The Chinese position is that we cannot talk about knowing apart from the emotions; they are mutually involved. The same is true of the subjective and objective. My comments argue that in modern Anglo American philosophy there has also been a division between natural facts and moral values. Violating this division (such as claiming that we can derive an “ought” from an “is”) is called the “naturalistic fallacy.” This division owes part of its origin to the old dichotomies between knowing and emotions, and between mind and matter. Drawing on Chinese ethics, and also considering Western positions, I argue that there is a necessary connection between moral values and a theory of human nature. There are also connections between certain values, emotions, and facts: (1) Health and well-being; contentment and suffering; clinical and subjective facts (2) Social bonding; love and sympathy; symbiotic care. (3) Harmonious [和谐的] adaptation to hierarchy; respect and shame; conformity and potential cooperation. My position ends by being in some ways consistent with those of the contemporary Western thinkers Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Hillary Putnam.

The lecture will be followed by a response from Professor Sonya Özbey. If time permits, there will be a Q&A at the end.

There is No Moral Ought and No Prudential Ought (December 8, 2017 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46995 46995-10722269@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 8, 2017 3:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of Philosophy

It is natural to think that there are a number of different oughts. There is a moral ought, there is a prudential ought, etc. Furthermore, it is natural to think that each ought is such that one ought to do the best thing one could do, where the sense of best at issue varies with the kind of ought it is. Thus, it is natural to think: morally, a person ought to do the morally best thing she could do; and prudentially, a person ought to do the prudentially best thing she could do. One might also express these thoughts by saying: morality recommends that one do the morally best thing one could do; and prudence recommends that one do the prudentially best thing one could do.

These natural thoughts suggest the further thought that the moral ought and the prudential ought often conflict, and thus that often, morally, one ought to do something although, prudentially, one ought to refrain from doing it.

While these thoughts are natural, and they express a commonly-held view, I will argue that these thoughts are wrong. My modest aim is to show that there is an alternative view to the view I describe above. My more ambitious aim is to show that my alternative view is correct. Once the two views are contrasted, I think it will be clear that although the commonly-held view is indeed common, it is not supported by or warranted by ordinary moral thinking or ordinarily-recognized moral phenomena, and we do better at capturing moral reality – and normative reality more broadly – by jettisoning the common view in favor of the alternative view I outline.

The alternative view denies all the natural thoughts above. It holds that there is no distinctively moral ought, though there are some ought facts that are distinctively moral. Similarly, there is no distinctively prudential ought, though there are some ought facts that are distinctively prudential. Finally, the alternative view holds that distinctively moral ought claims never conflict with distinctively prudential ought claims: it is never the case that, morally, one ought to do something, while prudentially, one ought to refrain.

Excuses and Justifications in Epistemology (January 12, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47012 47012-10725027@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 12, 2018 3:00pm

Epistemology concerns what we should believe. Ethics concerns what we should do. Much recent work in the two fields emphasizes their similarities—their shared concern with oughts, normativity, and how things should be in some broad sense—over their differences. An increasingly influential argumentative strategy in the spirit of this broader trend is to argue that the distinction between justifications and excuses—familiar in ethics and the philosophy of law—can be exported to epistemology, where it can do substantial philosophical work. Timothy Williamson, Clayton Littlejohn, Amia Srinivasan, John Hawthorne, Jason Stanley, and others have all argued, in one form or another, that many mistakes in epistemology are the consequence of conflating the distinction between justified belief on the one hand, and merely excusable or blameless belief on the other.

Ultimately, I suspect that this move is too quick—the justification/excuse distinction cannot be straightforwardly or uncritically adopted by epistemologists. But vindicating this suspicion is a major task. My argumentative strategy will involve paying close attention to the roles the excuse/justification distinction plays in the law, and arguing that there aren’t analogous roles to be played by a similar distinction in epistemology. Stepping back, my broader hope is to sound a cautionary note about drawing parallels between practical and epistemic normativity. Concepts and distinctions that have application in the former domain don't 'automatically' have application in the latter, and when they do, it takes theoretical work to show this.

The goal of CSAAW is to support graduate students interested in complex systems research. Through our regular meetings, students discuss their own work and receive feedback from other students, faculty, and researchers. For some meetings, students present "tutorials" on various complex systems related topics or methodology. Other meetings consist of talks by and discussions with invited speakers who are active in complex systems research.

Professor Patrick Grim has taught for Complex Systems for several years, and organizes many research groups with students - a great mentor to our Complex Systems flock. Professor Grim is a retired Emeritus Philosophy Professor from SUNY at Stoneybrook.

Abstract: I argue for the existence of two coincidences—or ‘miracles’—in the foundations of general relativity, which do not admit of explanation from within that theory. I suggest that these ‘miracles’ may be accounted for naturally in one particular successor theory to general relativity, namely perturbative string theory. I close by reflecting on the nature of spacetime in general relativity versus string theory.

This presentation is part of the Winter Colloquium of the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures.
A pre-circulated paper in English is available upon request.


Matthew Handelman will share new work on Gershom Scholem, preeminent scholar of Jewish mysticism with widespread impact on twentieth-century Zionism, culture, and thought. Handelman will highlight the importance of mathematical concepts for understanding Scholem's ideas of aesthetics and negativity and their relationship to critical theorists such as Franz Rosenzweig and Siegfried Kracauer.

Matthew Handelman is an Assistant Professor of German and a member of the Core Faculty in the Digital Humanities at Michigan State University. His research interests include German-Jewish literature and philosophy in the early twentieth century, the intersections of science, mathematics and culture in German-speaking countries, as well as the digital humanities and the history of technology. Matthew has published on these topics in international journals such as The Germanic Review, Scientia Poetica and The Leo Baeck Yearbook. He is currently finishing a manuscript called Negative Mathematics: German Jewish Intellectuals and the Origins of Critical Theory. It explores the underdeveloped possibilities of mathematics in critical theory, focusing on Gershom Scholem, Franz Rosenzweig, and Siegfried Kracauer. A second book project, which explores the relationship between necessity and narration in scientific and aesthetic thought after 1800, is also in the works.

Refutation (February 2, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47013 47013-10725028@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 2, 2018 3:00pm

Organized By: Department of Philosophy

The practice of refutation has been a central preoccupation of philosophers since Socrates. But what is a refutation? And why do philosophers feel impelled to produce them? With reference to the first question, I produce a definition of refutation: a refutation disproves one proposition in order to discredit another. With reference to the second question, I argue that the refuter’s activity to undermine her interlocutor's account solves a problem facing the project of knowledge-acquisition. This problem was articulated by William James: the project of coming to believe truths is in tension with the project of avoiding belief in falsehoods. The first motivates one to embrace dogmatism, the second to retreat to skepticism. The practice of refutation solves James’ problem by way of a division of labor.

He is a founding member of the New World Agriculture and Ecology Group. He is currently a professor of ecology at the University of Michigan. ​

*************

This event kicks off Science for the People's weekend-long convention. During the convention, we will be making collective decisions about our organizational structure, ratifying our foundational principles and bylaws, and developing national projects, we plan to include time to get to know one another, to learn from each other, and to further our political self-education. The original Science for the People arose in 1969 out of the anti-war movement and lasted until 1989. With radical analysis and non-hierarchical governing structure, Science for the People tackled the militarization of scientific research, the corporate control of research agendas, the political implications of sociobiology and other scientific theories, the environmental consequences of energy policy, inequalities in health care, and many other issues.

Its members opposed racism, sexism, and classism in science and above all sought to mobilize people working in scientific fields to become active in agitating for science, technology, and medicine that would serve social needs rather than military and corporate interests. They organized in universities and communities, published a magazine offering sharp political analysis, and sought meaningful scientific exchange internationally in Vietnam, China, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other countries.

Some of the issues we face today have changed in important ways, but fundamental questions of power, ideology, and democracy in science remain.

Supersymmetry and the Philosophy of Space and Time (February 8, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48908 48908-11328385@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 8, 2018 5:00pm

Organized By: Department of Philosophy

Abstract: Some areas of physics are heavily discussed by philosophers; others are engaged with more sparsely. Despite its being a central component of many attempts to go beyond the standard model of particle physics, supersymmetry (SUSY) is an example of the latter. This talk is part of an ongoing project to establish a discussion in the philosophy of SUSY.

SUSY is a proposed dynamical symmetry between bosons (broadly speaking, force carriers) and fermions (matter). As a result of being a transformation between particles of different spin, the algebra of its generators has an interesting feature---it appears to allow for an interpretation as a (generalisation of a) spacetime symmetry. Construing SUSY as such, it is possible to re-express the theory in a new setting---superspace, in which ordinary Minkowski spacetime is augmented with a number of anticommuting ‘dimensions’. These are dimensions along which, counter-intuitively, coordinate values are sensitive to the order in which they are multiplied---they cannot, therefore, be visualised in the way that ordinary spatial or temporal dimensions are, as lines extending in some direction. Even though superspace is not a geometry in the familiar point-set sense, it manifests geometric structure in a more general, algebraic way: objects with the algebraic properties of vectors, tensors, derivative operators and so on are well-defined. Thus metrical and inertial structures exist in superspace, but algebraically. In this talk, I address the question of what difference this generalisation makes to our understanding of the roles of the metric and inertial structure in constituting spacetime.

(No prior familiarity with supersymmetry or quantum field theory will be assumed)

Suppose that a democratic society has an associative duty to assist a specific group of individuals, the Usual Suspects group. Members of this group frequently do not go to their jobs. They are seen mostly in streets, smoking, drinking and having fun. They are defaulting debtors. They often cheat on the welfare system, claiming to be unable to work. Since they run quickly out of money, they often shoplift in small quantities and evade taxes. They are more prolific than their fellow citizens. Their children, for some combination of a culture of poverty, low opportunities and bad parenting, usually miss classes, medical appointments and reproduce the eternal cycle of poverty and dependence.

A democratic society could assume this duty for several reasons: they are citizens, they are humans or for their children extreme vulnerability. However, this obligation can be fulfilled in multiple ways. Society can assist them conditionally or unconditionally; can offer them lucrative jobs or can force them to work in exchange of meager assistance; can give them cash or untradeable vouchers; can demand sterilization from mothers or can improve public services; can create special houses for their children. These choices depend heavily in the accuracy of Usual Suspects diagnose.

In this communication, I challenge this Usual Suspects narrative in social protection, which has been active since English Poor Laws to the expansion of Conditional Cash Transfers in Latin-America. First, I will claim that there are no empirical nor normative arguments for taking suspicion as a default attitude to poor. Second, I argue that there are relational reasons for reducing suspicion in social protection policies: it will not only improve the probability of the least advantaged of escaping poverty but it will also improve the most advantaged members capacities for moral reasoning.

A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America (February 16, 2018 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/48424 48424-11233230@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 16, 2018 9:30am
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

Presented by the Michigan Journal of Race & Law, "A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America" is a symposium happening on February 16 and 17 at the University of Michigan Law School.

Over two days, we will examine five archetypal spaces in America: homes and neighborhoods, schools, courthouses, prisons, and borders. The symposium endeavors to consider the ways in which these spaces have become increasingly racialized, diagnose how that racialization impedes their basic functioning, and reimagine these spaces at their best, and our world as a more human dwelling place. James Baldwin gave us this name, embedded in his imperative “to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through vast forests, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.”

The symposium will bring together individuals working to better these spaces, hailing from many disciplines, including law, history, sociology, journalism, literature, architecture, urban planning, and visual art. Together, we hope to conceptualize forgotten or not yet dreamed of alternatives. Through discussions of projects already realized and ideas not yet concrete, we will collectively inch toward the world we wish to inhabit.

The symposium is free and open to the public. All are welcome.

A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America (February 17, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/48424 48424-11233231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 17, 2018 8:00am
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

Presented by the Michigan Journal of Race & Law, "A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America" is a symposium happening on February 16 and 17 at the University of Michigan Law School.

Over two days, we will examine five archetypal spaces in America: homes and neighborhoods, schools, courthouses, prisons, and borders. The symposium endeavors to consider the ways in which these spaces have become increasingly racialized, diagnose how that racialization impedes their basic functioning, and reimagine these spaces at their best, and our world as a more human dwelling place. James Baldwin gave us this name, embedded in his imperative “to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through vast forests, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.”

The symposium will bring together individuals working to better these spaces, hailing from many disciplines, including law, history, sociology, journalism, literature, architecture, urban planning, and visual art. Together, we hope to conceptualize forgotten or not yet dreamed of alternatives. Through discussions of projects already realized and ideas not yet concrete, we will collectively inch toward the world we wish to inhabit.

The symposium is free and open to the public. All are welcome.

DISC Lecture. The Lost Gender Egalitarian Voice of the Qur’an (February 19, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47392 47392-10891048@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 19, 2018 4:00pm

Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

How can a book that--allegedly--openly advises husbands by saying, “Strike them” in cases of marital conflict have any possible gender-egalitarian interpretation? Does the Qur’an really reflect a misogynist ideology? What can the analytic, linguistic, and critical approach to the Qur’anic text reveal when it comes to women’s issues? Could the hermeneutical investigation of the Qur’an end by the reconquest of a lost humanitarian and gender egalitarian richness of a text that has gone poorly and loosely handled for centuries? What does the Qur’an relay say about gender equality, polygamy, minor marriage, women’s right to education and work, women’s right to public authority positions, and women’s right to Prophethood?

STS Speaker. Indigenous Climate Change Studies and Justice: Indigenizing Futures, Decolonizing the Anthropocene (February 19, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43477 43477-9771968@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 19, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

Indigenous peoples are creating an STS-related field to support their own capacities to address anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. Indigenous studies often reflect the memories and realms of knowledge that arise from Indigenous peoples’ living heritages as societies with stories, lessons, and long histories of having to be well-organized to adapt to seasonal and inter-annual environmental changes. At the same time, our societies have been heavily disrupted by colonialism, capitalism, and industrialization. Through discussing the themes unique to Indigenous climate change studies, I will claim that Indigenous studies offer critical decolonizing approaches by which to address climate change and achieve climate justice. These approaches arise from how our ways of imagining the future guide our present actions. The presentation will cover and integrate a range of topics, from the Dakota Access Pipeline to the Indigenous science movement to Indigenous science fiction imagination.

Survivors of rape, sexual assault and sexual violence are speaking around the world, instigating a social movement. However, their speech enters mainstream media and legal institutions that edit, interpret, and spin their stories. States and institutions in general are responding in ways that sideline the movement toward agendas that have little to do with addressing the epidemic of sexual violence. What can we learn from this moment and how can we make resistance more effective?

- How should workers confront the need for industries to change?
- Is there a conflict between treating workers fairly and providing quality services?

As America is struggling with its own racist past, and present, it makes sense to examine what the Germans have done with their own. For the past 70 years, many Germans have been engaged in what they call Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung - working-off the past. Though the process has been slow, fitful, and often problematic, Americans can learn from the ways in which Germany has - partially - confronted its racist past, as we begin to examine our own.

Author’s Forum Presents: "Early Modern Cartesianisms" (March 14, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49547 49547-11476256@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 5:30pm

Tad Schmaltz (philosophy) and George Hoffmann (French) discuss Schmaltz's new book "Early Modern Cartesianisms."

About the book:

"There is a general sense that the philosophy of Descartes was a dominant force in early modern thought. Since the work in the nineteenth century of French historians of Cartesian philosophy, however, there has been no fully contextualized comparative examination of the various receptions of Descartes in different portions of early modern Europe.

"This study addresses the need for a more current understanding of these receptions by considering the different constructions of Descartes's thought that emerged in the Calvinist United Provinces (Netherlands) and Catholic France, the two main centers for early modern Cartesianism, during the period dating from the last decades of his life to the century or so following his death in 1650. It turns out that we must speak not of a single early modern Cartesianism rigidly defined in terms of Descartes's own authorial intentions, but rather of a loose collection of early modern Cartesianisms that involve a range of different positions on various sets of issues.

"Though more or less rooted in Descartes's somewhat open-ended views, these Cartesianisms evolved in different ways over time in response to different intellectual and social pressures. Chapters of this study are devoted to: the early modern Catholic and Calvinist condemnations of Descartes and the incompatible Cartesian responses to these; conflicting attitudes among early modern Cartesians toward ancient thought and modernity; competing early modern attempts to combine Descartes's views with those of Augustine; the different occasionalist accounts of causation within early modern Cartesianism; and the impact of various forms of early modern Cartesianism on both Dutch medicine and French physics."

International Territorial Rights: An Institutional Account (March 16, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47015 47015-10725031@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 16, 2018 3:00pm

Organized By: Department of Philosophy

A state’s bundle of territorial rights includes an "international" territorial right. This is the presumptive right of a state to a defined territorial space that other states (and international actors) have a duty to respect. This international dimension of territorial rights is distinct from and prior to the more local aspects of territorial rights. For instance, a justification of a state’s jurisdictional authority over persons within its dominion does not by itself say why the state (or the political society it represents) has any international claim to the territory within which it exercises this authority. Recent arguments for territorial rights invoke, variously, the right of individuals to a location in which to maintain conditions of justice, the right of acquisition, and the right of self-determination. Contra these arguments and others, I propose instead that a state’s international territorial right is ultimately an institutional right, a right that is defined and sanctioned by the rules, norms and practices of the global order. This institutional account of international territorial rights has significant implications for our understanding of global justice.
