SUMMARY:Rain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Founder of the field of Critical Romani Studies Ethel Brooks will chat with award-winning author Ari Joskowicz about his new book\, Rain of Ash: Roma\, Jews\, and the Holocaust. Jews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust\, yet their murder has not been recognized equally. The Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts\, scholars\, educators\, curators\, and politicians in the postwar years\, while the genocide of Europe’s Roma and Sinti remained out of the frame. Prof. Ethel Brooks\, Chair of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University\, and Prof Ari Joskowicz\, Chair of the Department of Jewish Studies\, Vanderbilt University\, will discuss Joskowicz’s exploration of the simultaneous suffering of Roma and Jews during the Holocaust\, as well as the unequal yet necessary entanglement of their quests for historical justice and self-representation. Rain of Ash was awarded the 2022 Ernst Fraenkel Prize.\n\n \n\nChair: Prof. Raz Segal\n\n \n\nREGISTRATION LINK:\n\n \n\nhttps://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AJ0XE-0ZTPeoK5zUoPG5Mg\n \n\nThis event is hosted by The Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York\n\nIn association with:\nCenter for Jewish Studies at The Graduate Center—City University of New York\n\nCUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York\n\n \n\nThe Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme\, Education Outreach Section\, Outreach Division\, Department of Global Communications\, United Nations\n\n \n\nThe William T.

SUMMARY:Book talk- Night on Earth: International Humanitarianism in the Near East
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 20 \n6:00 pm\, Skylight Room \nThe Graduate Center\, City University of New York \n365 Fifth Avenue \nNew York\, NY 10016 \n  \nA book talk with author Davide Rodogno\, Geneva Graduate Institute \nin conversation with Rajan Menon. City College/CUNY and Joshua Craze\, writer. \n  \nCo-presented by the European Union Studies Center\, The Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies and Centro Primo Levi. \n  \nThis event is presented in person only. RSVP to eusc@gc.cuny.edu \n  \n“Western humanitarians pretended to act upon a kind of tabula rasa\, when in fact there was no tabula rasa there\, and there was a very long Ottoman humanitarian tradition.” \n  \nConstructed after Jim Jarmusch’s film and driven by profound empathy\, Davide Rodogno’s Night on Earth is a broad-ranging account of international humanitarian programs in Central and Eastern Europe\, the Balkans and the Near East from 1918 to 1930. The author shows that international ‘relief’ and ‘development’ were intertwined long before the birth of the United Nations with humanitarians operating in a region devastated by war and famine and in which state sovereignty was deficient. Influenced by colonial motivations and ideologies\, these humanitarians attempted to reshape entire communities and nations through reconstruction and rehabilitation programs. The book draws on the activities of a wide range of secular and religious organizations and philanthropic foundations in the US and Europe including the American Relief Administration\, the American Red Cross\, the Quakers\, Save the Children\, the Near East Relief\, the American Women’s Hospitals\, the League of Nations\, and the International Committee of the Red Cross. \n  \nRodogno applies the metaphor of relationship between taxi drivers and passengers\, to the givers and recipients of humanitarian aid. Inevitably\, miscommunication\, tensions and distortions take place\, especially in the Ottoman context which was linguistically\, culturally and politically removed from the mentality of the providers of relief. Both geographies and chronologies become central to these equivocations and\, in some ways\, carry on their impact well beyond that period. \n  \nThis geographical area is rich in terms of the reflection on sovereignty. The history of the mandates\, the independence of Turkey\, the processes of Sovietization or the role of the Refugee Settlement Commission all happened in Ottoman Lands. In scholarly research\, the Ottoman Lands are studied separately but in fact – as in the mental imaginaire of the Western humanitarians described in the book – these lands were considered to be one. Many of these actors found themselves in places spanning from Georgia to what would soon become the Soviet Republic of Armenia or Greece\, or Lebanon and Palestine\, because these institutions had a very broad reach parallel to that of warfare. \n  \nRodogno also repositions chronological perspectives. For instance\, the recent years’ academic focus on 1918 is meaningful for Western Europe as the end of World War I. However\, for these areas\, 1918 is not an end. If anything\, it is the beginning or the continuation of many wars. Humanitarians operating in Central and Western Europe moved down to the Balkans and to other former Ottoman Lands after 1918 precisely because they could deploy resources and extend their raison d’être to where humanitarian aid was needed by civilian populations. By delving into a specific chapter of humanitarian history\, Night on Earth offers a fruitful sounding board to re-evaluate the questions and problems we face today in this field. \n  \nDavide Rodogno is a Professor of International History and Politics and the Head of the Interdisciplinary Master Programs at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies\, the Director of the Certificate in Advanced Studies in Advocacy in International Affairs at the Geneva Graduate Institute. He specializes in researching international organizations and associations\, philanthropic foundations\, and transnational networks and movements since the 19th century. His research interests include the history of human rights\, of minorities\, of crimes against humanity and International Law\, the concept and practice of international development programs\, state-building and international administration since creation of the League of Nations. \n  \nJoshua Craze has written on art\, war\, and literature. His works have appeared in n+1\, Cabinet\, and the Guardian. His Grammar of Redaction\, which examined the strange linguistic categories of the redacted documents of the war on terror\, was exhibited at the New Museum\, New York\, and he has written catalogue essays for Jenny Holzer’s redaction paintings. He has had residencies at Dar al-Ma’mûn\, Marrakech\, where he was a UNESCO artist laureate in creative writing; Art OMI\, New York; and\, most recently\, at the Embassy of Foreign Artists\, in Geneva\, where he began research for a new project in the archives of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. \n  \nRajan Menon is director of the Grand Strategy program at Defense Priorities and the Anne and Bernard Spitzer Chair Emeritus in International Relations at the Powell School\, City College of New York/City University of New York. He is also a Senior Research Scholar at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies\, Columbia University and a Non-Resident Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Menon has been a fellow at the Carnegie Council on Ethics in International Affairs and the New America Foundation\, academic fellow at the Carnegie Corporation\, research scholar at the Kennan Institute\, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (the Wilson Center)\, and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. His books include Soviet Power and the Third World (Yale University Press\, 1986)\, The End of Alliances (Oxford University Press\, 2007)\, Conflict in Ukraine: The Unwinding of the Post-Cold War Order\, coauthored with Eugene Rumer (MIT Press\, 2015)\, and The Conceit of Humanitarian Intervention (Oxford University Press\, 2016). His next book\, Russia After Putin\, co-authored with Eugene B. Rumer\, is under contract to Oxford University Press. \n  \nIn addition to publications in numerous academic journals\, Menon has written for The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Foreign Affairs\, Financial Times\, Los Angeles Times\, The Boston Globe\, The Guardian\, Chicago Tribune\, Boston Review\, Foreign Policy\, and The National Interest.

SUMMARY:“The Bedouin Village of Rah'ma: Toward Recognition and Beyond”
DESCRIPTION:The Bedouin of the Negev desert have long sought legal recognition from the State of Israel. Without legal status\, they are denied their basic rights as Israeli citizens: access to public health services\, water\, electricity\, public transportation\, is inadequate or unavailable. Rah’ma is one of the few unrecognized villages that has been promised recognition\, yet that promise remains unfulfilled. Still: a school has been approved and built\, public utilities have improved\, and village residents see some hope. What makes Rah’ma different from other Bedouin villages in the Negev? What paved the way to the promise of recognition? What changes will recognition bring? And can Rah’ma be a model for Israeli-Bedouin relations going forward? Please join for a discussion between Sliman Elfregat\, Rah’ma school principal; Debbie Golan\, co-founder and president of Atid Bamidbar; and Dvir Warshavsky\, Ministry of Education project director. Chair and moderator: Eli Karetny\, deputy director of the Ralph Bunche Institute. \nThis event is hosted in association with: \nThe Center for Jewish Studies\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York \nCUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences\, The Graduate Center–CUNY \nThe School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Stockton University \nThe Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies\, New York University \n  \nREGISTER HERE https://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YM_0xJ14SGGSZ-0ISpTpzw

SUMMARY:“Israel/Palestine: What the Archives Reveal and Conceal”
DESCRIPTION:The story of the past calls for extensive use of archival documents. But\, adducing risk to state security\, Israeli archives\, especially the state archives\, block access to key collections that pertain to the state’s history in general and the Palestinian Nakba and ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular. Palestinian researchers who seek to tell the story of the Palestinian past using Palestinian personal papers and archival materials face additional\, unofficial\, obstacles. Areej Sabbagh-Khoury\, professor of sociology at the Hebrew University and a 2022 Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar\, and Yaacov Lozowick\, a historian who served as Israel’s chief archivist from 2011-2018\, will discuss what Israeli archives reveal and conceal. Please join for a challenging conversation that will range from the role of archives in the power dynamics of the conflict to the stories still to be told if access to the archives were unfettered. Chair and moderator: Hebrew University professor Amos Goldberg\, head of the Avraham Harman Research Institute for Contemporary Jewry. \nThis event is hosted in association with: \nThe Center for Jewish Studies\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York \nCUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences\, The Graduate Center–CUNY \nThe School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Stockton University \nThe Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies\, New York University \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Subjective Security
DESCRIPTION:Subjective SecurityOlúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò (Georgetown University)Tuesday\, November 29\, 6:30 p.m. (ET)GC Room 9205-06And online via Zoom\nWe are excited to welcome philosopher Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò as our fourth and final colloquium speaker of Fall 2022. The talk will be followed by a Q&A with the speaker.This is an in-person event that will allow for virtual participation via Zoom. The in-person talk will be followed by a reception with wine and snacks.If you plan to attend virtually\, please register in advance for this meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining.Members of the public who wish to attend should email us. They may enter the GC if they show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test taken within 7 days prior to the visit. \n\n\n\nAbstract\nThe distinction between “negative” and “positive” freedom focuses on the political and ethical subject’s relationships with herself and with other people. Materialists have tended to focus more on the direct contribution of the social circumstances in which the subject finds herself (e.g. her relationship to the means of production and the means of subsistence). In this talk I try out one strategy for reconciling the former focus with the latter\, one rooted in the political ideal of self-determination\, which I associate with the latter group of thought. I’ll attempt to describe subjective security as a resource that allows a person to extend herself across time\, institutions\, and persons in ways that are vital for securing her freedom\, and sketch some political implications of this view. \nSpeaker Bio \nOlúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University. His work focuses on Africana and social/political philosophy and emphasizes themes and figures from anti-capitalist\, anti-colonial\, and Black radical traditions of thought and practice. He is also the author of Reconsidering Reparations (Oxford University Press\, January 2022) and Elite Capture (Haymarket Press and Pluto Press\, May 2022).

SUMMARY:Limitarianism from a Global Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Limitarianism from a Global PerspectiveIngrid Robeyns (Utrecht University)Tuesday\, November 15\, 6:30 p.m. (ET)GC Room 9205 And online via Zoom\nWe are excited to welcome philosopher Ingrid Robeyns as our third colloquium speaker of Fall 2022. The talk will be followed by a Q&A with the speaker.This is an in-person event that will allow for virtual participation via Zoom. The in-person talk will be followed by a reception with wine and snacks.If you plan to attend virtually\, please register in advance for this meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining.Members of the public who wish to attend should email us. They may enter the GC if they show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test taken within 7 days prior to the visit. \n\n\n\nAbstract\nLimitarianism is the view that there should be an upper limit to how many resources a person can appropriate; in most cases\, the focus is on economic resources\, and the claim is that there should be a limit to how rich a person can be. Limitarianism is thus a view in the wider family of egalitarian proposals\, but urges us to focus explicitly on the harms and bads done by extreme wealth concentration.However\, most of the reasons given for limitarianism are focusing on the effects among a political community of voters. Similarly\, most of the institutional proposals that have been put forward on how one could move in the direction of a limitarian world focus on the  possibilities given by the fiscal system. In other words\, in the existing literature there is a significant focus at what this means for political actions within a country. In this talk\, I ask what the limitarian view needs when considered from a global perspective. Does limitarianism become implausible if we consider the realities of an interconnected world? Or does it require us to make modifications or put additional requirements to the institutional proposals to advance limitarianism? \nSpeaker Bio \nIngrid Robeyns holds the chair in ethics of institutions at Utrecht University. She works mainly in normative political philosophy\, but also engages in interdisciplinary research. Some of the topics on which she published are the capability approach\, concepts of wellbeing\, gender inequality\, methods in normative political philosophy\, climate justice\, as well as specific institutional proposals\, such as universal basic income or inheritance taxation. Her most recent work is on limitarianism\, on which she is writing a book aimed at a broader audience (in North America\, forthcoming with Astra Publishing House).

SUMMARY:Russia’s War on Ukrainian Heritage\, Yet Another War Crime
DESCRIPTION:Originally published at https://katoikos.world/analysis/russias-war-on-ukrainian-heritage-yet-another-war-crime.html \nBy Tom Weiss\, RBI Emeritus Director \nThe nineteenth-century German poet Heinrich Heine’s words inspired Raphael Lemkin\, the drafter of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide: “Burning books is not the same as burning bodies…but when one intervenes … against mass destruction of churches and books one arrives just in time to prevent the burning of bodies.”[1] \nLemkin’s immediate reference was the November 1938 Kristallnacht crimes\, the coordinated program and cultural destruction in the Third Reich\, but there are far too many other instances across time and space. While Vladimir Putin’s docket in The Hague is already lengthy\, the war crime of destroying cultural heritage is yet another reason to say “nyet” to Russian recolonization. \nThe UN General Assembly’s condemnation and decision to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council reflected the continuing and contemporary relevance of what former UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova labeled “cultural genocide” with reference to Iraq and Syria. This expression is not a legal term\, but UNESCO applies it to connote cultural removal akin to “ethnic cleansing”—a term coined in the early 1990s to describe mass atrocities in the former Yugoslavia\, which also has no formal legal definition. Cultural cleansing and ethnic cleansing are evocative; both capture dramatic crimes that shock the human conscience. \nScholars have paid only fleeting attention to this emphasis in Lemkin’s work—the relevance of biological and cultural genocide\, [2] but it certainly applies to Ukraine. UNESCO has compiled a growing list that in mid-November counts 210 sites that have been damaged or destroyed since Moscow’s invasion began on 24 February 2022. It includes 91 religious sites\, 76 buildings of historical or artistic interest\, 18 monuments\, 15 museums\, and 10 libraries. \nUnfortunately\, recent history is replete with similar tragic examples. Shortly after ISIS (or Da’esh) took the city of Palmyra in Syria in the summer of 2015\, they exploded the 2\,000-year-old Temple of Baalshamin. For informed observers\, the destruction was linked to the group’s ongoing murder\, human trafficking\, slavery\, and terror in Syria and Iraq. Mass atrocities also accompanied the destruction of cultural heritage when insurgents deliberately shelled the Mostar Bridge in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993\, destroyed the fabled mosques\, mausoleums\, and libraries of Timbuktu in Mali in 2012\, as well as when the Taliban dynamited the sixth-century Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan in 2001. \nSocial scientists are taught to ask\, “so what?” Moreover\, we should add\, “Can anything be done?” Affirmative responses are suggested by the history of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS). The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a remarkable human rights achievement despite its contested application and nonapplication—e.g.\, in Libya but not in Syria\, Myanmar\, and Ukraine. \nThe concepts applied by the commission mirror those of cultural specialists—the essential responsibilities are to prevent\, to react\, and to rebuild. The heightened attention in academic and public policy discourse to the demands of coming to the rescue of people now also characterizes the challenge of protecting cultural heritage. \nIn fact\, the intimate link between attacking bricks and attacking blood\, or murdering history and people\, provides means to unite the tasks of protecting heritage and humans because the international political disputes about when and where to intervene in specific crises to protect people do not characterize the protection of cultural heritage. Rogues that destroy heritage—such nonstate thugs as ISIS\, such pariah states as Taliban Afghanistan\, and such major powers as China in Xinjiang—are immediate targets for external opprobrium. Widespread if not quite universal international condemnation erupts rather than endless debates about whether outside interveners are neo-colonialists or cosmopolitans. \nIronically\, many iconoclasts who destroy heritage and murder people can use social media to help recruitment. Ironically\, such performative destruction constitutes a “benefit” for them\, which is dramatically overshadowed by the costs borne by local residents and the rest of us. \nCould reframing intervention to protect heritage make it easier to reach a consensus about robust international action that would also protect the people whose culture is under siege? That question animated a research project and the resulting open-access publication of the J. Paul Getty Trust\, Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities. \nAmidst the political gloom that dominates the present moment\, there is a bit of good news. The public’s awareness and shock about the destruction of such renowned sites as the Bamiyan Buddhas\, Mostar Bridge\, Palmyra\, Sana’a\, and Timbuktu\, also lay behind the nearly universal international revulsion and outrage in January 2020\, when Donald Trump mindlessly threatened to target 52 Iranian cultural sites when Tehran menaced retaliation for the assassination of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani. \nIn short\, protecting heritage has become visible on the international public policy agenda. It is no longer a “niche topic\,” the exclusive domain of cultural specialists. If any further indications were necessary\, the failure to protect adequately Iraqi cultural heritage during the initial US occupation suggested the need to broaden perspectives and participation. The rescue of individuals caught in the crosshairs of violence and menaced by mass atrocities invariably are amidst conscious cultural heritage destruction. Indeed\, for those of us who analyze politics and design responses\, including military ones\, it is important that insiders at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) speak increasingly of the “security-heritage nexus.” \nIt is essential that we be preoccupied not only with visible World Heritage sites recognized by UNESCO but also less well-known\, everyday structures—Uyghur mud-brick temples in China\, Christian village cemeteries in Iraq and Syria\, local Rohingya mosques in Myanmar\, and Russia’s campaign since 2014 to eliminate Tatar traces in the occupied Crimea. While they do not make for media coverage\, these more commonplace sites have become a daily bill-of-fare of destruction\, another indication of the widespread onslaught against the people whose heritage they represent\, as part of efforts to eliminate histories along with human beings. \nThe core R2P ethical framework is to halt mass murder and mass forced displacement\, actual or anticipated. Its emergence reflected an altered political reality. Although specific decisions about exactly when and where to invoke R2P remain controversial\, few observers question whether global responses to mass atrocities are justified. Instead\, the debate centers on precisely how best to achieve R2P’s lofty aims. \nSo too is the intersection between violent attacks on humans and heritage. The protection of immovable cultural heritage is not a distraction for proponents of the robust protection of people. There is no need to add another crime to the four mass atrocities agreed by the UN’s 2005 World Summit. Rather\, protecting cultural heritage is a fundamental aspect of protecting people from genocide\, war crimes\, crimes against humanity\, and ethnic cleansing.[3] In addition\, emphasizing such protection within the R2P framework has the potential to widen support for the evolving norm and its evolution in customary law as well as contribute to ongoing conversations about legitimate sovereignty. \nResponsible states view mass atrocities as an international concern and not merely one of domestic jurisdiction. The destruction of cultural heritage should be viewed similarly because of the universal value and the intimate links between attacks on cultural objects\, structures\, and monuments and attacks on vulnerable populations. \nWhile destroying cultural heritage is not new—examples go back to antiquity—neither is the impulse to protect and preserve it; the contemporary convergence of two factors has altered the politics of protection and the feasibility of international action. First\, the destruction of cultural heritage has riveted the attention not only of curators\, archaeologists\, historians\, and activists but also of major media outlets and popular audiences. Second\, they find themselves in the company of a cottage industry of social scientists\, international lawyers\, and military officers exploring R2P’s application to the protection of cultural heritage. \nThere is no need to split hairs between safeguarding people and the cultural heritage that sustains them. Trying to establish a priority between them constitutes a false choice\, reminiscent of juxtaposing development and the environment. The staff from the Middle East Institute\, the Asia Society\, and the Antiquities Coalition evaluated the widespread devastation in Asia and concluded: “The fight to protect the peoples of the region and their heritage cannot be separated.” \n  \n[1] Quoted in Robert Bevan\, The Destruction of Memory: Architecture at War\, 2nd ed.

SUMMARY:“From Ancient Seaport to Medieval Crossroads: One Era Passes\, Another Begins”
DESCRIPTION:October 27 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm\nFree\n\n\n \nCIRCLE FOR LATE ANTIQUE AND MEDIEVAL STUDIES PRESENTS: \n“From Ancient Seaport to Medieval Crossroads: One Era Passes\, Another Begins” \nA lecture by: \nRichard Bulliet \nProfessor Emeritus\, Middle Eastern History \nColumbia University \nThis is the inaugural lecture for the Circle for Late Antique and Medieval Studies\, which seeks to engage scholars working on the late antique and medieval periods of Eurasia and Afro-Asia in an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue. \nProf. Bulliet’s lecture will focus on the degree of continuity between late antique and the medieval period and across geographies. The transportation infrastructure of the southern portion of the antique world shifted from maritime trade and liquid cargoes to camel caravans and dry cargoes. This shift signaled the passage from Late Antiquity to Medieval times. The chronology of the shift correlates with the geographic spread of one-humped camel herding\, which accelerated after the Arab conquests. \nRichard W. Bulliet is Emeritus Professor of History at Columbia University. His publications concentrate on the history of Islam (Islam: The View from the Edge and Cotton\, Climate\, and Camels in Early Islamic Iran) and the history of premodern transportation (The Camel and the Wheel and The Wheel: Inventions and Reinventions). He is also the lead author of the eighth edition of a world history textbook (The Earth and Its Peoples) now in preparation. During his career at Columbia\, he directed The Middle East Institute for twelve years and taught Middle East History\, History of Technology\, and History of Domestic Animals. \nJohn Torpey\, Presidential Professor of History and Sociology and Director of the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies\, will give a short introduction. \nThe Circle is convened by Parvaneh Pourshariati\, Associate Professor of History at the New York City of College of Technology\, CUNY. \nThe Circle for Late Antique and Medieval Studies is based out of the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at the Graduate Center\, CUNY. The Circle gratefully acknowledges the co-sponsorship by the History\, Classics and Archeology Programs and the Middle East and Middle Eastern Americans Center at the Graduate Center\, CUNY. \nRegister the Zoom webinar: https://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XUYYU9O2RsudaQiTq95gBg \nRSVP for the in person event to: circleforlateantiquemedieval@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Agential Power and Structural Power\, Causal and Non-Causal
DESCRIPTION:Agential Power and Structural Power\, Causal and Non-Causal Arash Abizadeh (McGill University)Thursday\, October 13\, 6:30 p.m. (ET)Political Science Lounge\, GC Room 5200 And online via ZoomCo-sponsored by the GC Political Theory Colloquium\nWe are excited to welcome political philosopher Arash Abizadeh as our second colloquium speaker of Fall 2022\, in collaboration with the GC Political Theory Colloquium. The talk will be followed by a Q&A with the speaker.This is an in-person event that will allow for virtual participation via Zoom. The in-person talk will be followed by a reception with wine and light snacks.If you plan to attend virtually\, please register in advance for this meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining.Members of the public who wish to attend should email us. They may enter the GC if they show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test taken within 7 days prior to the visit. \n\n\n\nAbstract\nMany theorists of social power assume that agents’ power operates only by way of their intentional actions and their causal role in effecting outcomes. The former assumption is true of agential power\, the latter of causal power\, but neither is true of the social power of agents in general. Distinguishing between agential and structural power\, I defend a notion of structural power as a type of non-intentional\, passive power agents have in virtue of their position in a social structure and independently of their intentional actions. Distinguishing between causal and non-causal power\, I also defend a non-causal type of power by which agents effect or elicit outcomes without causing them. Agential and structural power\, moreover\, are internally related: structural power is in certain contexts latently agential. \nSpeaker Bio \n\nArash Abizadeh is Professor in the Department of Political Science and Associate Member of the Department of Philosophy at McGill University. His research focusses on democratic theory; democracy’s relation to identity\, nationalism\, and cosmopolitanism; immigration and border control; social and political power; and seventeenth- and eighteenth-century philosophy\, particularly Hobbes and Rousseau. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit our YouTube page to watch videos of past events\, like our Facebook page\,and follow our twitter @global_ethics. CGEP Director: Carol C.

SUMMARY:Must the Subaltern Speak Publicly? Political Liberalism and the Ethics of Fighting Severe Injustice
DESCRIPTION:Must the Subaltern Speak Publicly?Political Liberalism and the Ethics of Fighting Severe InjusticeAlasia Nuti (University of York)Friday\, September 30\, 12:00 p.m. (ET)Online via Zoom\nWe are excited to welcome political theorist Alasia Nuti as our first colloquium speaker of Fall 222. The talk will be followed by a Q&A with the speaker.This is an online event. Please register in advance for this meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining. Follow this link to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrduyorzMjH9cPZBtY09mMIT_fHloHNkgd\n\n\n\nAbstract\nThe victims of severe injustice\, but no other group in society\, are allowed to employ disruption and violence to seek political change. This article argues for this conclusion from within Rawlsian political liberalism\, which\, however\, has been criticised for allegedly imposing public reason’s suffocating norms of civility on the oppressed. It develops a novel view of the applicability of public reason in non-ideal circumstances – the ‘no self-sacrificed view’ – that is focused on the excessive costs of following public reason when suffering from severe injustice. On this view\, those treated in what Rawls describes as less than a reasonably just way are relieved of the duty of public reason and therefore entitled to employ disruption and violence. Turning to the requirements that actually apply to the oppressed\, the article also shows that\, when properly developed\, political liberalism offers original and nuanced normative guidance on how to fight severe injustice uncivilly.  \nSpeaker Bio \nAlasia Nuti is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Political Theory at the University of York. She received her PhD\, which was awarded the Elizabeth Wiskemann Prize for the Study of Inequality and Social Justice from the Political Studies Association\, from the University of Cambridge. Her first book “Injustice and the Reproduction of History: Structural Injustice\, Gender\, and Redress” (Cambridge University Press\, 2019) received the Honourable Mention from the ECPR Prize in Political Theory in 2021. In 2022\, Alasia was awarded the Early Career Prize from the Britain and Ireland Association for Political Thought. She is currently working on a monograph (Oxford University Press\, under contract) on a revised account of political liberalism and the task of containment\, which is co-authored with Gabriele Badano. \n\n\nYou are also welcome to attend an upcoming event at the Graduate Center that was co-organized by some of our CGEP fellows: Feminism in Crisis?

SUMMARY:“Forgotten\, Ignored\, and Distorted Histories of Romani People: Past and Present”
DESCRIPTION:The historical record is marked by voids: elided events; disappeared people; erased accounts; marginalized communities. \n  \nThe Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity (Graduate Center—City University of New York)\, in association with the School of General Studies and the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies (Stockton University) and the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies (New York University)\, offers a year-long  virtual series\, The Marginalized and the Erased\, to tackle a number of those blank spots. \n  \nPlease join us on September 29\, 2022 at 12:00 noon (EDT) for the first of the series: \n  \n“Forgotten\, Ignored\, and Distorted Histories of Romani People: Past and Present” \n  \nGroundbreaking scholars Ethel Brooks\, Ioanida Costache\, and László Csősz move between past and present as they plumb the history of anti-Roma racist violence\, and the erasure of that history even as the violence persists. Drawing upon testimonies and documents\, their presentations reveal individual\, communal\, and institutional obstacles to remembrance and education. Chair of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University\, award-winning scholar Prof. Ethel Brooks serves (among many positions) as Chair of the Board of the European Roma Rights Center.  Dr Ioanida Costache\, recipient of a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania\, focuses on Romani historical trauma and artistic practice.  Prof. László Csősz\, historian and senior archivist at the National Archives of Hungary is also a Claims Conference University Partnership in Holocaust Studies Senior Lecturer at the ELTE University in Budapest.
