SUMMARY:Sir Roger Penrose in Conversation with Janna Levin
DESCRIPTION:Sir Roger Penrose was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his remarkable contributions to mathematics and physics. He is one of only twenty-two living recipients of the honor. Sir Roger\, as he is fondly known to other physicists\, is a relentlessly creative genius of the highest order. He has contributed profoundly to the structure of spacetime and geometry\, black holes\, the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity\, and the origin of our universe. His radical ideas on consciousness have provoked controversy and fascination\, while his playful geometric tilings were thought to be impossible in reality. Though intuition defying\, Penrose tilings ignited the imaginations of filmmakers and artists and ultimately were discovered in nature. Join Pioneer Works Director of Sciences Janna Levin as she hosts Sir Roger Penrose in a conversation that will stretch across the universe\, theories of consciousness\, and infinity. \nJoin us after the conversation for a book signing with Sir Penrose. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Weather permitting\, there will also be stargazing with the Amateur Astronomers Association of NY in our garden. \nSir Roger Penrose\, Order of Merit and Fellow of the Royal Society\, is presently Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow at Wadham College. He won\, among many other awards\, the Wolf Prize in Physics\, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for the Hawking-Penrose Singularity Theorems. \nJanna Levin is the Chair and Director of the Science Studios at Pioneer Works. She is the Claire Tow Professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University. Janna is a Guggenheim Fellow and a PEN-award winning novelist for a first work of fiction. She is the presenter of the NOVA feature Black Hole Apocalypse\, aired on PBS—the first female presenter for NOVA in 35 years. \n  \nDOORS AT 7PM\nCONVERSATION AT 8PM

SUMMARY:Atheism & Morality: Mapping the Game with Andrew Dennis
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Dennis’s talk focuses on the issues resulting from an atheist worldview. He starts by introducing a custom-made framework that utilizes game theory to identify and analyze players in what he calls “The Values Game.” He then divides the concept of atheism into three components and uses this stratification to explain how conversations in atheist spaces get derailed. \nBy the end\, attendees should be able to: \n\nMaintain a new and intuitive understanding of human moral development\nGrasp the generalized history of how we got to where we are\nUnderstand the pitfalls that activist groups fall into\nImprove their own activism\, general understanding of reality\, and conversations with others

SUMMARY:A Playlist for Our Future? Human Advantage in an Age of Technology
DESCRIPTION:This panel will address artificial intelligence and which lessons from the humanities and the social and behavioral sciences are needed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe theme for Columbia University’s incoming class of 2023 is “Press Play\,” encouraging students to craft their own learning experiences and inspiring them to express their “whole\, authentic self.” Building on this appeal\, let’s start by imagining a “playlist for our future.” What kinds of tools and knowledge might be included in this holistic playlist? This panel will focus on questions of building human capabilities to address this new AI landscape and which lessons from the humanities and the social and behavioral sciences are needed in developing\, guiding\, and working alongside future technology. \nIn A Playlist for Our Future? Accelerating the Human Advantage in an Age of Technology and Complexity\, we’ll explore: \n\nGenerative learning as a model for human and machine collaboration\, and to increase the human advantage for lifelong learning and problem solving.\nKey lessons from history and the humanities on how humans have navigated technological change in the past\, and ways we can identify and address issues now and in the future.\nPractical applications\, frameworks\, and future research directions for industry and institutions\, as well as opportunities for collaboration.\n\n\n\nEvent Speakers:\n\nLydia Chilton\, Assistant Professor of Computer Science\, Columbia University\nMatthew Jones\, James R. Barker Professor of Contemporary Civilization\, Columbia University\nAlison Lord\, Global Head of Talent\, Google Creative Lab​\nMickey McManus\, Autodesk Fellow\, researcher\, computer scientist\, serial entrepreneur\, and author of Trillions: Thriving in the Emerging Information Ecology \nModerated by Beth Comstock\, former vice chair and CMO\, General Electric\, and author of Imagine it Forward: Courage\, Creativity\, and the Power of Change

SUMMARY:Growing Up in Science: Jacqueline Gottlieb's Unofficial Story
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will begin at 4:00 pm at the Jerome L. Greene Science Center\, room L7-119. \nJacqueline Gottlieb\, PhD studies the mechanisms that underlie the brain’s higher cognitive functions\, including decision making\, memory\, and attention. Her interest is in how the brain gathers the evidence it needs — and ignores what it doesn’t — during everyday tasks and during special states such as curiosity. Her research could offer insight into disorders that involve deficits of attention\, such as attention deficit disorder\, depression and drug addiction. \nGrowing Up in Science is a seminar series initiated at NYU by Drs. Wei Ji Ma and Cristina Alberini in 2014. The speakers of this series do not talk about their science; they talk about the human side of becoming and being a scientist. They share their successes as well as the struggles\, weaknesses\, detours and failures.

SUMMARY:The Enigma of Clarence Thomas: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Enigma of Clarence Thomas: A Conversation between Corey Robin\, the author of The Enigma of Clarence Thomas (Metropolitan Books\, 2019) and Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center\, CUNY\, and Kendall Thomas\, Nash Professor of Law at Columbia Law School\, on December 4\, 2019 at 6:30PM in the Kelly Skylight Room of The Graduate Center\, CUNY. \nIn The Enigma of Clarence Thomas\, the first examination of its kind\, Corey Robin delves deeply into both Thomas’s biography and his jurisprudence\, masterfully reading his Supreme Court opinions against the backdrop of his autobiographical and political writings and speeches. The hidden source of Thomas’s conservative views\, Robin shows\, is a profound skepticism that racism can be overcome. Thomas is convinced that any government action on behalf of African-Americans will be tainted by racism; the most African-Americans can hope for is that white people will get out of their way. \nCorey Robin is the author of The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump and Fear: The History of a Political Idea. He teaches political science at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center\, CUNY. Robin’s writing has appeared in the New York Times\, the New Yorker\, Harper’s\, and the London Review of Books\, among other publications\, and has been translated into thirteen languages. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \nKendall Thomas is the Nash Professor of Law and co-founder and director of the Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia Law School. His teaching and research interests include U.S. and comparative constitutional law\, human rights\, legal philosophy\, feminist legal theory\, critical race theory\, and law and sexuality. His writings have appeared in several academic journals and volumes of collected essays. Thomas is a co-editor of Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings that Founded the Movement\, The New Press\, 1996\, and What’s Left of Theory?\, Routledge Press\, 2000.

SUMMARY:Beyond Oneself: The Ethics and Psychology of Awe
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, awe and wonder appear to be powerful emotions that can inform and shape our attitudes toward ourselves and others\, especially in relation to the larger meaning and purpose of our lives. What are the psychological underpinnings of these universal emotions? How does awe\, for example\, relate to self-knowledge\, and more generally to understanding the enigmatic contradictions of human nature? Is it possible to cultivate and develop this emotion as an ethical incentive in our relations with others? Are awe and wonder capable of awakening and engendering moral transformation? Does the emotion of awe lie at the root of the religious impulse in humans? And is there any room left for a sense of the miraculous in today’s increasingly scientific and secular world? \nProf. of religious studies and ethicist Lisa Sideris joins psychologists Jennifer Stellar and Piercarlo Valdesolo to explore our understanding of how awe shapes our perspectives and views on everything from science to morality.

SUMMARY:Medieval Medicine and Literature: A Galenic Presence in Dante’s Writing
DESCRIPTION:The attention to the relation between medieval medicine and Dante’s writing shows how contemporary scientific thought manifests itself both in evident and less explicit terms\, which allude not to exclusively scientific concepts\, but to structures of thought shared by other contemporary intellectual discussions\, such as philosophy\, ethics\, political thought. This lecture investigates how the manifest incidence of strictly medical – and more precisely Galenic – notions\, such as complexio or the hegemonic principle which rules the human being – permits the investigation of a more oblique presence\, where medicine contributes to the formation of complex and multifaceted content. \nA lecture by Paola Ureni\, CUNY.
