The Art of Refusal: Overcoming Epistemic Injustice in the #MeToo Era, Sarah Clark Miller (Penn State) 7:30 pm
The Art of Refusal: Overcoming Epistemic Injustice in the #MeToo Era, Sarah Clark Miller (Penn State) @ Brooklyn Public Library
Nov 7 @ 7:30 pm
On Wednesday, November 7th at 7:30 PM, Sarah Clark Miller (Penn State) joins us to discuss “The Art of Refusal: Overcoming Epistemic Injustice in the #MeToo Era.” She’ll talk about how survivors of sexual assault and harassment can deal with the fact that many people don’t believe them. It’s a difficult topic, but I think it’s really, really important. If you’re interested in the epistemological questions surrounding #MeToo – what standards of evidence are appropriate for sexual misconduct[...]

The Structure of Space and Time, and Physical Indeterminacy- Hanoch Ben-Yami (CEU) 4:30 pm
The Structure of Space and Time, and Physical Indeterminacy- Hanoch Ben-Yami (CEU) @ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 302
Nov 20 @ 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
I introduce a sequence which I call indefinite: a sequence every element of which has a successor but whose number of elements is bounded; this is no contradiction. I then consider the possibility of space and time being indefinitely divisible. This is theoretically possible and agrees with experience. If this is space and time’s structure, then even if the laws of nature are deterministic, the behaviour of physical systems will be probabilistic. This approach might[...]

When Fields Are Not Degrees of Freedom, Mario Hubert (Columbia) 4:30 pm
When Fields Are Not Degrees of Freedom, Mario Hubert (Columbia) @ CUNY Grad Center, 5307
Nov 28 @ 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
We show that in the Maxwell–Lorentz theory of classical electrodynamics most initial values for fields and particles lead to an ill-defined dynamics, as they exhibit singularities or discontinuities along light-cones. This phenomenon suggests that the Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force law ought rather to be read as a system of delay differential equations, that is, differential equations that relate a function and its derivatives at different times. This mathematical reformulation, however, leads to physical[...]
