SUMMARY:Public Philosophy in Classical Greece: 470-370 BCE
DESCRIPTION:These public talks are part of the book project-workshop\, Public Philosophy in Classical Greece: 470 – 370 BCE\, under contract with Cambridge University Press and co-edited by Mirjam Kotwick (Princeton) and Christopher Moore (Penn State). The sourcebook’s aim is to reframe the study of classical Greek philosophy by contending that essential material for reconstructing and assessing early philosophical debates is to be found in authors beyond the usual canon of Pre-socratics and Sophists and in texts written for a broader public\, such as by historians\, poets\, orators\, doctors\, and music theorists\, among others. \nIn addition to collaboration on the volume itself\, the workshop is presenting public talks by invited speakers on issues related to the volume’s vision. These talks are open to the members of the Princeton community: \nVictoria Wohl (Toronto): “The Demos\, the public subject\, and the politics of particularity in fifth-century Athens” (Friday\, Dec. 8\, 10.45pm-12.00pm)\nStephen White (Texas): “Wordpower and the Rhetoric of Necessity in Public Discourse” (Friday\, Dec. 8\, 1.30pm-2.45pm) \nPlease register for these talks via email to lsoucy@PRINCETON.EDU. \nPresented by the Classics Department and co-sponsored by the Program in Classical Philosophy\, the Center for Human Values\, the Humanities Council\, and the Center for Culture\, Society and Religion at Princeton.

SUMMARY:“Manifestations of Policy Learning in Greece and Southern Europe: The Case of EU Soft Law”
DESCRIPTION:Do European Union soft law instruments such as the Open Method of Coordination and\, more recently\, the European Semester promote policy learning in Greece? If so\, what types of policy learning are observed? If not\, why? These are the key questions my lecture raises. On a theoretical level\, I present a typology of policy learning that covers different types of learning within soft modes of governance. (The latter refers to non-binding EU instruments – for example\, recommendations instead of directives.) On an empirical level\, I present findings that cover a critical period of contemporary Greek politics: the years preceding the 2008 financial crisis and the first years of the Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). My findings demonstrate not only a variety of learning types in Greece but\, most importantly\, that specific political and administrative conditions\, such as high levels of bureaucracy\, influence policy learning. I also offer insights into the post-2018 period when Greece gradually exited the MoUs. Finally\, I compare Greece and two other Southern European countries\, Spain and Italy\, in terms of policy learning via EU soft law.

SUMMARY:"Expertise and Experience in the Greek Feminist Birth Control Movement\, 1974-1986"
DESCRIPTION:My research investigates the production and circulation of knowledge about abortion and contraception in the Greek feminist birth control movement (1974-1986)\, demonstrating how the Greek feminists adopted and modified the aims and practices of the international feminist movement. As participants in a “boundary movement” that operated both inside and outside academia\, women and feminists blurred the lines between scientific and experiential expertise. Exposing the difficulty of conceptualizing experiential expertise\, I draw upon the work of feminist scholar Sara Ahmed. She coined the term “sweaty concept” to describe the intellectual labor needed to give the concept meaning. I argue that we can only understand the concept of birth control within the co-production of gender\, experience\, and expertise.

SUMMARY:“Type of Contact Matters: Prosocial Behaviour Towards Asylum Seekers and the Syrian Refugee Crisis in Greece”
DESCRIPTION:Why do ingroup members help outgroup strangers? Focusing on the case of Greece in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis\, I study behavioral motivations of host community members who offered assistance to asylum seekers. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of behavioral patterns and their variations\, I assert the importance of the type of intergroup contact in influencing prosocial actions.

SUMMARY:Waldemar Cordeiro: Bits of the Planet
DESCRIPTION:Special Collections Launch of New Digital Exhibition\nThe curatorial team of Natalia Brizuela\, Ian Alan Paul\, and Rachel Price are pleased to host a one-day\, in-person launch of a groundbreaking online exhibition exploring the life and work of Waldemar Cordeiro\, a prominent Brazilian post-war artist and theorist. Curators will guide visitors through the digital exhibition\, followed by an exploration of related materials from Princeton’s robust collections of concrete poetry\, selected and discussed by Special Collections Librarians Molly Dotson and Sal Hammerman. \nBits of the Planet is an experimental online platform that delves into Cordeiro’s legacy\, showcasing his Concrete painting\, landscape architecture\, computer art\, and prescient theories on “arteônica” — computational art in the face of global challenges. \nThe platform incorporates a rich array of materials from Cordeiro’s archive\, including artworks\, documents\, notes\, plans\, and essays. Visitors can navigate through these materials using modes inspired by Cordeiro’s formal and theoretical interests. The exhibition is structured around four central concepts: Mathematics\, Computation\, Landscape\, and Language\, grouping diverse materials into constellations of related works and revealing connections between Cordeiro’s seemingly disparate practices. \nWaldemar Cordeiro was born in Rome in 1925 and moved to Brazil in 1946\, where his work moved from figuration to geometric art and landscape architecture. His innovative gardens mirrored the geometric forms of his concrete paintings\, rejecting imitations of “untouched nature.” In the 1960s\, influenced by information theory and mass media\, Cordeiro began manipulating pop cultural objects and mass media images. Between 1968 and 1973 he created pioneering computer art on an IBM 360/44. \nWaldemar Cordeiro: Bits of the Planet brings Cordeiro’s visionary legacy into the digital realm\, offering algorithmically generative ways to engage with Cordeiro’s work. Cordeiro’s insights into decentralized information sharing resonate strongly today. As he foresaw 50 years ago\, “centers\, as information’s physical site or as a place in which things are exchanged\, are gradually losing their function.” Bits of the Planet reflects this reality\, making Cordeiro’s work globally accessible\, offering a prophetic perspective on the promise and threats of new media and the climate crisis. \nFor more information about the virtual launch and to experience Waldemar Cordeiro: Bits of the Planet\, please visit the event page. \nMedia Contact: bitsoftheplanet@gmail.com \nWaldemar Cordeiro: Bits of the Planet received support from a Humanities Council Collaborative Humanities Grant\, the Brazil LAB\, and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

SUMMARY:Is prediction multilevel grammatical inference?
DESCRIPTION:Nearly all researchers agree that active dependency resolution relies\, to some extent\, on prediction: comprehenders appear to commit to analyses in advance of unambiguous confirmatory evidence. Researchers disagree\, however\, on how far in advance prediction occurs\, what portions of linguistic representation(s) are predicted\, and how to characterize the mechanisms that subserve predictive processes. In this talk\, I’ll present results from a series of collaborative studies on the processing of dependencies in Norwegian\, Dutch\, and English (and maybe Tagalog) to probe the limits of prediction. I’ll argue (i) that comprehenders can make predictions earlier than is commonly assumed\, (ii) that fine-grained predictions are made above the lexical level\, and (iii) that predictive mechanisms are (relatively) grammatically faithful. I discuss how these results support a model of hierarchical prediction as inference to the best analysis across multiple levels of linguistic representation. \nDave Kush is an assistant professor of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. His areas of interest include sentence processing\, syntax\, and cross-linguistic variation.

SUMMARY:“Presbyterianism and Enlightenment”
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will be offered in hybrid\, both in-person and online via Zoom. Registration is only required for those who attend virtually. \nThe “Scottish Enlightenment” is a key component of the narrative of modernity. Many of the problems discussed by such thinkers as David Hume and Adam Smith are still with us in one form or another\, in many sub-disciplines of philosophy and social science. \nBecause of the key thinkers associated with it\, the Scottish Enlightenment has often been associated with a form of liberal Protestantism\, or outright atheism. This has left the majority religious group within Scotland—the Presbyterians—in a curious position. It would almost seem as if the innovative wave of ideas simply passed by most of the residents of the locale wherein they originated. There has been occasional efforts made to connect the two phenomena—Presbyterianism and Enlightenment—but they hardly amount to a full treatment. \nIn this presentation\, Cha examines the many intersections between Presbyterianism and Enlightenment over the “long” eighteenth century\, c.1680-c.1840. He will situate the Scottish Enlightenment within the broader context of religious and intellectual trends in England\, continental Europe\, and America over the same period. Cha will stress the importance of thinking about precursors as well as afterlives\, continuity as well as change\, in conceptualizing the “Scottish Enlightenment(s).” \nMin Tae Cha is Nova Forum Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Religion\, University of Southern California. He earned a Ph.D. in History (2023) with the dissertation “Constitutional Religion: Presbyterians between the British and American Empires.” He is interested in the intersections of religious and legal-constitutional history\, transnational ethno-religious networks\, secularization\, and the social history of ideas. \nREGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:silver through the grass like nothing (a new work in-process)
DESCRIPTION:silver through the grass like nothing finds Princeton Arts Fellow yuniya edi kwon stretching her capacities as a solo performer\, creating an immersive world of sound\, welcome and unwelcome shadows\, entangled gazes\, and fluid voices\, within which she journeys as both messenger and message. The piece is a ritual convergence of continuums\, including embodied story-singing\, experimental music-theater\, and emergent movement. Connecting to the history of pearl relics (sari) and their keepers\, as well as the true story of yuniya’s sudden\, sibylline illnesses and their accompanying medical traumas\, silver through the grass like nothing is an impressionistic\, bardo-like meditation on sickness\, grief\, and the body’s incessant pull toward transformation. Created and performed by kwon with dramaturgical support from Du Yun\, and lighting design by Maggie Heath\, this is an early\, in-process performance. The complete work will be premiered in March 2025 at National Sawdust in Brooklyn\, New York. A post-show Q&A will be led by Assistant Professor of Music Nathalie Joachim.

SUMMARY:Locality and linguistic theory: The crucial role of African tone languages
DESCRIPTION:We are at a juncture when the communication practices of other species are becoming better understood\, which linguists can take as an opportunity to readdress a fundamental question: what makes human language human? In this talk\, I will examine one core architectural property of language\, namely “locality”\, which restricts the possible long-distance interactions in linguistic representations. While theories of locality in phonology and morphology typically involve adjacency between interacting elements\, this talk presents two novel case studies from minority African tone languages showing that linguistic tone has looser locality demands than counterpart consonants and vowels. Such work demonstrates the outsized role which low-resource languages continue to play in linguistic theory\, and the importance of maintaining long-term collaborations with speaker communities. \nDr. Nicholas Rolle received his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2018 and currently holds a research position at the Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS) in Berlin\, Germany. He is a phonologist whose research spans both linguistic theory and fieldwork-based language description\, specializing in the languages of West Africa. Most recently\, his research has focused on the ability of pitch in African sound systems to signal a wider range of meanings than in more familiar non-African languages. He has published widely in both theoretical and Africanist journals\, including Phonology\, Linguistic Inquiry\, Morphology\, and the Journal for African Languages and Linguistics. \n

SUMMARY:McGraw Center Faculty Workshop: Active Learning: Tech Tools and Analog Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Active learning encompasses a broad range of in-class activities that ask students to process information rather than passively receive it. In doing so\, active learning strategies provide opportunities for students to take ownership of their own learning and to learn from and with each other. The addition of active learning elements can also provide instructors with valuable feedback on student comprehension. \nIn this session–held in the Digital Learning Lab\, one of McGraw’s active learning spaces–we will share strategies for engaging students in active learning in classes of all kinds. We will include information on technology tools like i-clickers\, throwable mics\, and digital whiteboards\, as well as analog approaches such as think/pair/share\, exit tickets\, and role play. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Public Interest and State Legitimation: Early Modern England\, Japan\, and China
DESCRIPTION:Book Talk: In this book\, Public Interest and State Legitimation: Early Modern England\, Japan\, and China (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\, Wenkai He examines the connections between state capacity\, state legitimation and the expansion of political participation. He demonstrates how in each case of early modern England (1533-1640)\, Tokugawa Japan (1640-1853)\, and Qing China (1684-1840)\, a public interest-based discourse of state legitimation provided a common platform upon which state and society collaborated to provide public goods such as famine relief and large-scale infrastructural facilities. In this way\, state and society strove to overcome their respective weaknesses in attaining good governance. Moreover\, each discourse of state legitimation entailed ‘passive rights’ that allowed subordinates to justify their demands on the state to redress welfare grievances; these often took the form of collective actions. Conflicts between domestic welfare and other dimensions of public interest\, however\, could instigate cross-regional and cross-sectoral mass petitions for fundamental political reforms that were likewise justified by the state’s proclaimed duty to safeguard the public interest; these mass petitions might ultimately transform the state. Such a political ‘great divergence’ occurred in England (1760s-1780s) and Japan (1870s-1880s)\, but not in China.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents -- Imagination: A Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning author is joined in conversation by Lorgia García Peña to discuss Benjamin’s new\, revelatory work\, in which she calls on us to take imagination seriously as a site of struggle and a place of possibility for reshaping the future. \nA world without prisons? Ridiculous. Schools that foster the genius of every child? Impossible. Work that doesn’t strangle the life out of people? Naive. A society where everyone has food\, shelter\, love? In your dreams. Exactly. Ruha Benjamin\, Princeton University professor\, insists that imagination isn’t a luxury. It is a vital resource and powerful tool for collective liberation. \nImagination: A Manifesto is her proclamation that we have the power to use our imaginations to challenge systems of oppression and to create a world in which everyone can thrive. But obstacles abound. The most effective way to disrupt destructive systems of class\, race\, and gender-based oppression is to do so collectively. Benjamin highlights the educators\, artists\, activists\, and many others who are refuting powerful narratives that justify the status quo\, crafting new stories that reflect our interconnection\, and offering creative approaches to seemingly intractable problems. \nRuha Benjamin is an internationally recognized writer\, speaker\, and professor of African American Studies at Princeton University\, where she is the founding director of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab. She is the award-winning author of Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code\, and Viral Justice\, and editor of Captivating Technology\, among many other publications. Lorgia García Peña is a writer\, activist and scholar who specializes in Latinx Studies with a focus on Black Latinidades. Her work is concerned with the ways in which antiblackness and xenophobia intersect the Global North producing categories of exclusion that lead to violence and erasure. She is the author of Community as Rebellion. \nThis event is co-presented by Labyrinth\, the Princeton Public Library\, and Not In Our Town Princeton. It is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s African American Studies Department and the Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:The Abundance of Medieval Literature: An Eco-Computational Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Mike Kestemont\, PhD (Full Research Professor\, Department of Literature\, University of Antwerp) works on quantitative models of culture in the context of the Computational Humanities. The persistence of information over long stretches of time is his key research topic at the moment. In a new framework that we call Cultural Ecology\, we import empirical methods from ecology and biostatistics to provide innovative quantitative models of cultural change and survival\, in particular in the domain of medieval literature. Mike’s expertise lies with the application of machine learning and natural language processing for the analysis of noisy\, historic data. Together with Folgert Karsdorp and Allen Riddell he published a monograph on data science for humanists with Princeton UP (2021).

SUMMARY:Racial Rage\, Racial Guilt: The Uses of Anger in Asian America
DESCRIPTION:Asian Americans are conventionally described as “middle-man minorities\,” outside of dominant racial paradigms of white and Black\, adjunct to white privilege and exempt from the brunt of systemic violence directed against Black people. Historical accounts trace the origins of the in-betweenness of Asian Americans to the ways in which Asian coolie labor has served to triangulate white capital and African slavery over the course of European modernity. If this is the material history of in-betweenness\, what is the psychic corollary of the middle-man thesis? Through an analysis of the Netflix dark comedy series Beef\, as well as case histories of Asian American patients and students\, Eng argues that the psychic effects of occupying a racially intermediate position implicate an unexplored terrain of racial rage and racial guilt that Asian Americans are insistently socialized to hold on behalf of others. \nREGISTER HERE. \n  \nDavid L. Eng is the Richard L. Fisher Professor of English and faculty director of the Program in Asian American Studies\, and professor in the Program in Comparative Literature & Literary Theory and Program in Gender\, Sexuality & Women’s Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Racial Melancholia\, Racial Dissociation: On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans (Duke 2019)\, The Feeling of Kinship: Queer Liberalism and the Racialization of Intimacy (Duke\, 2010)\, and Racial Castration: Managing Masculinity in Asian America (Duke\, 2001). He is co-editor with David Kazanjian of Loss: The Politics of Mourning (California\, 2003) and with Alice Y. Hom of Q & A: Queer in Asian America (Temple\, 1998). His current book project\, “Reparations and the Human” (Duke\, forthcoming) investigates the relationship between political and psychic genealogies of reparation in Cold War Asia.

SUMMARY:What's in Universal Grammar?  On participles and the inventory of grammatical primitives
DESCRIPTION:One of the goals of syntactic theory is to account for the distributional properties of grammatical units. My central question is whether the lexical categori(zer)s like n(oun)\, v(erb)\, and a(adjective)\, which are partially responsible for determining distribution\, are associated with any intrinsic semantic content. I examine this question through the lens of participles. Based on a number of distributional diagnostics\, I argue that participles are a derived category\, and that they should therefore not be considered primitives of the grammar. Specifically\, I argue that both eventive and stative participles in a number of related and unrelated languages are deverbal adjectives. This challenges the consensus in the generative literature\, which has converged on the conclusion that eventive participles are verbal\, while stative participles are adjectival. Based on this case study of participles\, as well as evidence from (deverbal) nominals\, I argue that there is no one-to-one mapping between syntactic categori(zer)s and semantic content (contra e.g.\, Baker 2003\, Panagiotidis 2015). Returning to the issue of grammatical primitives\, I then claim that there has so far been no uncontroversial evidence (syntactic or semantic) that the lexical categori(zer)s from more familiar languages are universal. I finish by considering the consequences of this conclusion for language acquisition and the contents of Universal Grammar.  \n  \nMaša Bešlin is a PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland. She works in the subfields traditionally called syntax and morphology\, with an empirical focus on Slavic and Mayan languages. Her research has investigated such topics as the status of participles as a lexical category\, locality constraints above and below the ‘word’ level\, raising constructions\, bare-NP adverbials\, case\, and ellipsis.

SUMMARY:Displaced Decoration: Ethnographic Photography\, Indigenous Portraiture\, and the Rookwood Pottery Company
DESCRIPTION:With their distinct markets\, institutions\, and specialists\, the realms of fine art and craft today largely exist as parallel\, specialized industries. When they do intersect\, practitioners and observers typically offer two syntheses: craft “rises” to the institutional and aesthetic condition of art or supplements its exclusivity as a model of unalienated production. Yet fine artists since the early modern period have\, at key moments\, called upon “craft\,” in its many valences\, to engage\, rather than negate\, the movements of history that conditioned their work. Focusing on such moments\, the participants in this series will assess the stakes and the meanings of art’s craft in settings ranging from the Italian Renaissance\, to eighteenth-century India\, to the contemporary Andes. \nOver six workshops scheduled throughout the 2023–24 academic year and taking place on Princeton’s campus\, Know How: Workshops on the Histories of Art and Craft aims to develop responses to the following questions: Under what social\, material\, and art-historical conditions does craft appear? How do the motivations and manifestations of such appearances compare across geographies and periods? As art historians\, what methods are at our disposal to follow artists and objects as they bridge the systems of value that separate their circulation?

SUMMARY:Paper Exhibitions: From Magazine to Museum in France and the Americas
DESCRIPTION:“What do you think of the creation of a French museum of modern art?” the magazine L’Art Vivant asked in an enquête it issued in 1925. A year later\, across the Atlantic\, Forma\, a journal based in Mexico City\, announced the need for a “museum of modern American art\,” which it enacted in its pages. As these examples suggest\, in the early twentieth century\, magazines became sites for reimagining what museums could be or serving as counter-institutions themselves. In this talk\, Lori Cole will consider how magazines instantiated sites of exhibition for modern art in France and the Americas. For instance\, the journal Cahiers de la république des lettres des sciences et des arts called the twentieth century the “century of museums\,” and in 1931 urged France to reorganize its public collections of art. In addition to serving as sites for debate\, magazines functioned as extensions of galleries\, as in the case of Bulletin de l’Effort Moderne. Some editors took on the role of curators\, organizing physical exhibitions supported by their publications\, while others were artists who used the magazine as a site of experimentation. Such strategies to supplement or supplant exhibitions in print prefigured the way artists in the 1960s onward used the magazine to circumvent an increasingly commercial art world and as an artistic medium itself. Cole plans to both historicize these practices in the modern period and to demonstrate their persistence today\, as publications remain a rich site for artistic practice and formidable art institutions themselves.

SUMMARY:Computational sociolinguistics: How lexical meaning is dynamically constructed across partners and communities
DESCRIPTION:Why do we use language differently with different partners? In this talk\, I will argue for a computational approach to sociolinguistics\, which formalizes the obstacles standing in the way of effective communication and explains how people construct shared meaning to achieve their communicative goals with different audiences. Specifically\, I’ll present a computational model of partner-specific coordination and convention via hierarchical Bayesian inference — using feedback from a partner to update one’s beliefs about what is meaningful to them. I test predictions of the model in two natural-language communication experiments where participants are grouped into small communities for a referential communication task. Finally\, I’ll discuss ongoing work exploring broader implications across four areas: (1) code-switching and the relationship between language and social identity\, (2) neural mechanisms of common ground in a hyper scanning study\, (3) developmental trajectories of sociolinguistic competence\, and (4) artificial agents that can flexibly construct meaning with human partners. \n  \nRobert Hawkins is an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Language Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his PhD in Psychology from Stanford University in 2019\, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute before starting his own lab. His work has received multiple awards in cognitive science and computational linguistics\, including Best Paper awards at EMNLP and NeurIPS in 2022 and the Cognitive Science Society Prize for Computational Modeling in Language in 2020.

SUMMARY:"Was There a Syriac Lectio Divina? The Development of Contemplative Reading in the Monasteries of the Church of the East (400-700 C.E.)"
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative reading is a spiritual practice developed by Christian monks in the early Middle Ages. This talk traces the history of monastic reading in sixth- and seventh-century Mesopotamia. Ascetics belonging to the Church of the East pursued a form of contemplation which moved from reading\, to meditation\, to prayer\, to the ecstasy of divine vision. The development of this Syriac tradition can be seen through three phases: its establishment as an ascetic practice\, the articulation of its theology based upon “Egyptian” sources\, and its maturation and spread beyond Mesopotamia to other regions of Eastern Christianity.
