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:“Post-Roe America: Women and Human Rights”
DESCRIPTION:The historical record is marked by voids: elided events; disappeared people; erased accounts; marginalized communities.  So is our own era. \n  \nThe Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity (The 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 for the second of the series: \n  \n27 October 2022 \n“Post-Roe America: Women and Human Rights” \n  \nA challenging conversation about the loss of bodily autonomy and human rights \n  \nWith the extinction of abortion access as a constitutional right\, obstetric care has become a legal labyrinth and cybersecurity for individuals has emerged as a serious concern.  Frontline expert Dr Lisa Harris will address the thorny question of how the SCOTUS decision shapes medical practice.  And cybersecurity experts Eva Galperin and Jennifer Granick will plumb the weaponization by law enforcement and ordinary citizen bounty hunters of women’s telephone call histories\, browser histories\, text messages\, emails\, location data\, and payment records. Lisa Harris is Associate Chair of Ob/Gyn at the University of Michigan Medical School; her research sits at the intersection of clinical obstetrical and gynecological care and law\, policy\, and politics. Eva Galperin\, at the forefront of cybersecurity research\, policy\, and practice\, is dedicated to providing privacy and security for vulnerable populations around the world; Galperin serves as Director of Cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.  Jennifer Granick is a lawyer and prize-winning author. As the Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel with the Speech\, Privacy and Technology Project at the American Civil Liberties Union\, Granick litigates\, speaks\, and writes about privacy\, security\, technology\, and constitutional rights. \nChair: Marion Kaplan \n  \nhttps://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_oefcEHJDS_uCYXYvDK3zeA \n  \nThe Center for the Study of the Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Crimes Against Humanity\, The Graduate Center—City University of New York \nIn association with: \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

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
