The Gift and Weight of Genomic Knowledge: In Search of the Good Biocitizen @ Feil Hall, Forchelli Conference Center, 22nd Floor
Oct 4 – Oct 5 all-day
“This knowledge is irrevocable.” So reads an opening line in the terms-of-service agreement for 23andMe, a leading direct-to-consumer genetic testing company.

Andrew Culp: Invisibility and the Politics of Disappearance 6:00 pm
Andrew Culp: Invisibility and the Politics of Disappearance @ Lang Cafe, Eugene Lang College
Oct 4 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Anonymous, concealed, covert, encrypted, opaque, underground, under cover, unintelligible, hidden in plain sight. Invisibility studies — if we were to refer to it as a field of study — examines wars of appearance. It is not a call for democratizing presence. You will not find it shouting in the streets for better representation. It wants nothing to do with appearance, that essential prop necessary for staging dramas of consciousness raising, visibility politics, and the fight[...]

Richard M. Rorty and the Trump Years: On the 20th Anniversary of “Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth-Century America” @ Bob and Sheila Hoerle Hall, Rm UL105, University Center, 105
Oct 24 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
David E. McClean, PhD Department of Philosophy, Rutgers University (Newark) Just days after the 2016 presidential election a good deal of attention was given to passages from Richard M.

Trump and his stunning election to the presidency. Those passages, though sketchy, seem to provide a tenable explanation for such an unlikely series[...]
