SUMMARY:ICLS's webinar series: "Understanding Systemic Racism"
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Comparative Literature and Society is committed to the goal of social justice through education and critical scholarship. To address the urgent need to combat racism in our times\, we introduce a new 2020-2021 conversation/lecture series called “Understanding Systemic Racism” to reflect on the roots of racial discrimination\, class oppression\, colonial injustice\, and other institutionalized oppression and sanction for violence against Black people and peoples of color. We stress the importance of opening the U.S. centered conversations surrounding race and identity toward a broad and comparative reckoning with racism and its violent histories around the world. This exciting webinar series is programmed in conjunction with our Ambedkar Initiative that links Columbia University with the anti-caste legacy of B. R. Ambedkar to reflect on his continued relevance to discussions about social justice\, affirmative action\, and democratic thinking in a global frame.\n\nThe event schedule:\n\n“Isaac Woodard and Isabel Wilkerson”\nGayatri Chakravorty Spivak\, University Professor\nFriday September 25  – Recording available on ICLS Columbia Youtube\n“Race\, the Human and Humanity in These Times”\n \nÉtienne Balibar\, Columbia University\nwith Nahum Chandler\, UC Irvine\nFriday\, October 9 at 12:00PM EST\n\n“Urban Democracy: Caste and the City”\nSuryakant Waghmore\, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay\nFriday\, October 23 at 10:00AM EST\n \n“Race\, Caste and Democracy”\nNico Slate\, Carnegie Mellon University\nFriday\, November 6 at 12:30PM EST\n \nThe Third Annual Ambedkar Lecture\n“Race\, Caste and Social Justice”\nIsabel Wilkerson\, author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents\nFriday\, November 13 at 6:30PM EST\n\n*this event is only open to CU/Barnard affiliates*\nRegistration opens October 15 at 12:00PM EST\n\nThe Third Annual Ambedkar Lecture is cosponsored by the Office of EVP of Arts and Sciences; Barnard Provost’s Office; Office of the Deans of Humanities and Social Sciences; IRAAS; AAADS; IRCPL; MESAAS; CSER; CU Libraries; and CU Press\n

SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series (On-line)
DESCRIPTION:Due to the extraordinary circumstances of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\, we have decided to move the seminars online for fall of 2020.  All seminars will be hosted via Zoom on Fridays\, but the start and end times may vary due to time differences of the speaker. \nTitle: “What were the Prime Movers for the Transition to Agriculture: Insights from Archaeological Research in Northeast China”\nSpeaker: Gideon Shelach-Lavi\, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem\nTime: September 25\, 2020 (9:00-11:00 AM) \nThe reasons and processes that led hunter-gatherers to transition into a sedentary and agricultural way of life are a fundamental unresolved question of human history. Over the years scholars debated many related issues such as what came first – sedentism or plant cultivation and domestication – and whether such transition occurred in an environment of plentiful resources or under stressful conditions. Other issues related to this fundamental change in human history are the social institutions and technologies that enabled it and the cultural changes that occurred as a result of this transition.  In this talk I will present the results of an archaeological research I conducted in Northeast China. The results of this research\, which include a systematic regional survey\, excavations at two early Neolithic sites\, paleobotanic and paleoclimatic research\, will be used to address same of those fundamental issues which are relevant to our understanding of the early history of North China as well as for more general insights on global human history. \nRequest Pre-circulated Paper \n
