Lecture | Vulnerability and Health


Biological insights from epigenomics can help us better understand how social factors ‘get under the skin’ to affect disease outcomes and pattern health disparities.

Addressing vulnerability in population health allows for effective communication of findings from social epidemiology to health practitioners, policymakers, communities.

Lecture | Making Our Thoughts Clear: The Role of Language in the Pursuit of Self-Knowledge


We often make our thoughts clear to ourselves in the process of putting them into words. In this lecture I introduce a new puzzle about this process—one that’s reminiscent of the famous paradox about inquiry in Plato’s Meno. The puzzle is that, on the one hand, coming to know what we're thinking seems to require finding words that would express our thought; yet, on the other hand, finding such words seems to require already knowing what we're thinking. Lecturer Eli Alshanetsky is a Mellon postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center.

Discussion | Coding While Black: Artificial Intelligence, Computing, and Data an a Racialized World


Race is inscribed in every detail of our lives, determining where and how we live, speak, write, move, sense, and encounter one another. So it stands to reason that the technologies that mediate, as Ta-Nehisi Coates might say, “between the world and me,” are also generated by the constraints and expectations of race. In this conversation, Charlton McIlwain (Associate Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication and author of the forthcoming book with Oxford, Black Software: The Internet and Racial Justice, From the Afronet to Black Lives Matter and Stephanie Dinkins (Artist and Associate Professor of Art at Stony Brook University) discuss what artificial intelligence, big data, hashtags, Internet memes, and digital assistants tell us about being Black in the 21st century—and what they might portend for our future.

Lecture | Passions for Interests: Water and Rural Political Belonging in America


The world faces a water crisis, with the United Nations predicting a 40% global water deficit by 2030. Recent water struggles in the United States, from Standing Rock to Flint to California’s droughts, exemplify a broader cultural politics whereby group s come to understand and assess one another through their relations to water. In the Florida Everglades, the world’s largest ecosystem restoration project is underway and has as its policy goal “getting the water right.” There, as across America, political analysis focus on so-called stakeholders and interest groups. This presentation brings together two twenty-first-century examples of everyday politics in a mostly drained rural region of the Florida Everglades: the headline-grabbing proposed buyout of a major sugar corporation by the State of Florida for purposes of Everglades restoration; and a major Seminole Tribe of Florida water conservation project. The economist A.O. Hirschman, in his influential book The Passions and the Interests (1977), explained how early proponents of capitalism struggled to reconcile the relationship of passions to interests. The political anthropology of interests presented in this lecture highlights their production and (in)commensuration in relation to water and capitalism. The goal is to think through and, hopefully, beyond the passion for “interests” in scholarly and popular understandings of American political life.
