On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, we gather to celebrate her accomplishment and to advance[...] Feminist Crisis? Philosophical Interventions Feminist Crisis? Philosophical Interventions @ Philosophy Dept., CUNY Graduate Center Oct 1 all-day Tickets 24th Annual CUNY Graduate Student Conference Is feminism in crisis? Recently, in the United States and abroad, historic events rendered ever more precarious the lives and well-being of people marginalized by their sex, gender, race, and class, often in complexly intersecting and regionally specific ways.

Sin Yee Chan (U Vermont) @ Faculty House, Columbia U Oct 14 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm Tickets With responses from Timothy Connolly (East Stroudsburg University) ABSTRACT: Recent philosophical discussions on compassion focus on the value and the nature of compassion as an emotion. Ancient Asian philosophical traditions such as Confucianism and Buddhism, however, emphasize compassion as a character trait that should be nurtured. This paper examines the insights drawn from these traditions to help inform the nurturing of compassion. For example, is empathy a necessary tool? What is the role of love and care? Does self-reflection contribute[...]	15

Penelope Deutscher (Northwestern U) @ Wolff Conference Room/D1103 Oct 20 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Tickets Abstract: As a specific form of rights insecurity the revocability of reproductive rights manifests contradictory understandings (privative and productive) of the political status of pregnancy. I ask how and why we should understand reproductive rights as revocable, giving a broad meaning to the term “revocability,” and suggesting a conjoined vocabulary that includes conditionality, exceptionality, and disqualifying qualification. I ask: what kind of grammar might help us understand more specifically how the concurrent action of conflicting[...]	21 Cognitive Science Speaker Series 1:00 pm Cognitive Science Speaker Series @ Zoom Oct 21 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Tickets ALL TALKS ARE ON ZOOM, 1-3, NYC TIMEAll are hosted by Rebecca Keller and Ryan McElhaneyZoom links are all announced on the Cognitive Science email listTo subscribe to that list, email davidrosenthal1@gmail.comSome sessions—not all—are recorded for later access 9/16: Michael A.
