'An Ugly Word': Race in Global Perspective 1:31:45

cách đây 45 weeks trước1:31:45

1:31:45

Race and racism are often considered problems particular to the U.S., with little relevance elsewhere. When sociologists Ann Morning and Marcello Maneri interviewed young Italians, they found that mention of race regularly elicited the reaction, “Che brutta parola! What an ugly word!” as well as the insistence that it played no role in contemporary Italy. Yet in probing further, they discovered that these Italian youths held ideas about racial difference that were very similar to those of their peers in the U.S. In An Ugly Word: Rethinking Race in Italy and the United States, Morning and Maneri draw on the transatlantic comparison to build a new framework for exploring concepts of difference worldwide.

The vast oceans surrounding us are a remarkable source of sustenance, prosperity, and vitality. They regulate our climate, nourish us, and support numerous industries. Yet, the oceans face increasing pressures from climate change, overfishing and pollution. Now a new threat looms for the ocean. If allowed to go ahead, deep-sea mining will destroy this critical and awe-inspiring source of life. Come learn about The Ocean Hope Project, an initiative to prevent the next disaster from starting. We will explore the deep-sea, why we don't need to mine the ocean and the growing global resistance to this new form of ecocide.

Even while the climate crisis deepens, the decarbonization of the global economy and the fourth industrial revolution have been subsumed by geopolitics that remain anchored in realist power struggles, now revolving around Sino-American hyper-competition. Access to indispensable minerals for a net zero future has become securitized undermining ties of global interdependence. The panel of interdisciplinary scholars, institutional stakeholders, and industry experts provides insight into this latest manifestation of resource competition and discusses their contributions to the book Critical Minerals, the Climate Crisis, and the Tech Imperium (Springer Nature, 2023). Panel Members Constantine Karayannopoulos, Former CEO, Neo Performance Materials Kristin Vekasi, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science and School of Policy and International Affairs, University of Maine Owen Pell, The Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities; Retired Partner, White & Case LLP Vasileios Tsianos, Director of Corporate Development, Neo Performance Materials Moderated by Sophia Kalantzakos, Global Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Public Policy, NYUAD…

There is a common sentiment that working in the arts is exceptional. It’s not just a workplace, it’s a passion. But loving it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a job. In Theatre Work: Reimagining the Labor of Theatrical Production, Brídín Clements Cotton and Natalie Robin investigate the question of artmaking, specifically theatrical production, as work. When the art is the work, how do employers navigate the balance between creative freedom and consistent personnel processes that promote accessibility, equity, and sustainability? Do theatrical production operations value the worker? Celebrating the release of the book, this event features a conversation with the authors about these questions and beyond. Speakers Brídín Clements Cotton, Co-author, "Theatre Work: Reimagining the Labor of Theatrical Production" (Focal Press, 2024); Instructor of Stage and Project Management, NYUAD Natalie Robin, Co-author, "Theatre Work: Reimagining the Labor of Theatrical Production" (Focal Press, 2024); Organizer, United Scenic Artists / IATSE Local USA 829 Moderated by Ntshadi Mofokeng, Cultural Worker Delaney Teehan, Stage and Production Manager…

Haptic Feedback for Local Anesthesia Training 35:10

cách đây 48 weeks trước35:10

35:10

This talk presents the design and development of a custom 3D printed haptic syringe interface aimed to augment a virtual reality local anesthesia simulation (VRLA) with realistic tactile feedback. The VRLA previously used an Oculus Quest 2 head mounted device (HMD) with out of the box hand controllers to immerse students in the simulation and complete the necessary tasks. One controller (with the dominant hand) was used to perform a local anesthesia injection with a virtual hand that held a virtual syringe. This was subsequently replaced with a custom 3D printed haptic syringe to simulate physical interactions between the syringe and the environment in an effort to enhance the students' training experience. A pilot research study investigating the effectiveness of the custom haptic syringe had positive outcomes. Speakers Mohamad Eid, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and former 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellow, NYUAD Marci Levine, Clinical Associate Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, NYU College of Dentistry; Former 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellow, NYUAD Elizabeth McAlpin, Director of Research and Outcomes Assessment, NYU IT Avinash Gyawali, Research Assistant, NYUAD In Collaboration with 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellows Program…

The Highly Effective Irrationality of Science 45:42

cách đây 49 weeks trước45:42

Modern science has done amazing things: creating covid vaccines, sending humans to the moon, finding the ultimate nature of light. What makes it so powerful—and so different from the attempts to understand nature made by the philosophers and monks of old? Vaulting from Aristotle to gravitational waves, Michael Strevens argues that much of science’s power derives from an epistemic limitation that can only be understood as irrational. The paradigmatic scientist is a paradigmatic reasoner in many ways, but in at least one way, their perfection as a scientist lies in the deliberate cultivation of a gaping intellectual blind spot.
