SUMMARY:Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Philosophy Department Colloquium Series presents guest lecturer Russell Duvernoy\, Instructor of Philosophy at Seattle University. Duvernoy will give a talk titled “Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity.” This is the first in a series of four talks on Environmental Philosophy. \nAbstract: Beginning from present ecological turbulence and dire climate change predictions\, and\nfollowing Pope Francis’s call for “ecological conversion\,” Duvernoy will explore conceptual changes\nnecessary for actualizing such conversions. He argues that viable ecological conversion requires\nfurther investigation into metaphysical questions inherent in thinking ecologically and he will outline\nthree risks that a cogent conception of conversion must avoid. Duvernoy will then draw on the work\nof Guattari\, Stengers\, Deleuze\, and Whitehead to show that a process metaphysically inflected\nconception of subjectivity is a more efficacious framework for ecological conversion\, focusing on\nhow it encourages habits of attention productive of greater awareness of ecological complexity.

SUMMARY:Living a Full\, Ethical and Sustainable Life in the 21st Century*
DESCRIPTION:2018 John M. Rezendes Visiting Scholar in Ethics\nLiving a Full\, Ethical and Sustainable Life in the 21st Century:\nLessons from Psychology\, Ethics and Human-Centered Design \nThe 2018 John M. Rezendes Visiting Scholar in Ethics is Professor Mick Smyer. Smyer\, a national expert on aging\, is a professor of psychology and the former provost at Bucknell University. He also is a senior fellow in social innovation at Babson College. Smyer will be here on April 4th for a busy afternoon of events. \n2pm: Workshop on Aging and Climate Change with Mick Smyer\, location TBD \n4: Reception\, Nutting Hall\, Room 100 \n4:30: Lecture\, Nutting Hall\, Room 100 \nBrief Abstract: \nConsider these key ethical dilemmas that each of us face as we age in the 21st century: \n\nWhat are our ethical duties to successive generations?\nWhat is a “good life”?  What is a sustainable life?  And are they compatible?\nWhat is the “proportional responsibility” of different age groups for climate action? How is the action to be shared among such groups?\nDo older age groups have a larger responsibility to take action since they have benefited more from the actions that have produced climate change?\n\nDrawing on work from psychology\, ethics\, and human-centered design\, Professor Smyer will outline key psychological barriers to fully answering these questions and key strategies to move each of us from anxiety to action to habit in crafting a full\, ethical and sustainable life across generations. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the McGillicuddy Humanities Center.

SUMMARY:Examining the Life of Maine Missionary and Suffragist Elizabeth Upham Yates
DESCRIPTION:Shannon M. Risk\, ’96\, ’09\, Associate Professor of History at Niagara University\, will deliver a lecture entitled: “Examining the Life of Maine Missionary and Suffragist Elizabeth Upham Yates — The Importance of Biography.” \n\n\n“Elizabeth Upham Yates (1857-1942) was a missionary and suffragist\, born and raised in Coastal Maine\, who rose to national prominence as a reformer in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The study of her life poses a number of issues for the historian biographer. Yates left no collection of papers\, and it is common for whatever papers remained from a female reformer’s life to not be saved by archives\, a reflection that women’s history was not “real history.” Is it possible to write a comprehensive biography with few personal documents saved\, and if so\, how? Is it important to memorialize a reformer who comprised the “second tier” — those whose most important work influenced state and local regions\, and whose names were long ago forgotten? A study of Yates’ life allows the biographer to place her ideas and actions within the greater construct of the progressive era and the paradoxes for reformers. It situates her missionary work as part of American empire building\, negotiates what an intense female friendship meant for Yates’ in terms of companionship and support\, and discusses her complicated interactions with immigrants and people of color.” \nPart of the History Symposium and organized by the History Department.

SUMMARY:Advocating for Justice: Lawyers' Roles in Social Change
DESCRIPTION:The Honors College presents\, as part of its 2019 John M. Rezendes Visitng Scholar in Ethics\, a lecture by Sally Curran\, Esq. \nIt is often said that the law can be used as a sword or a shield\, but for public interest and pro bono lawyers the law is often used as a tool to help create social change. Working directly with the underrepresented and partnering with non-lawyer advocates\, lawyers can be critical to challenging injustice in novel ways and can help clients emerge from cycles of poverty. While the 2018 Honors Read\, Just Mercy\, by Bryan Stevenson focused on the injustices in the criminal justice system\, Sally Curran (’02) will discuss the pitfalls of the broader civil legal system in which low-income Americans rarely receive adequate legal help in matters affecting basic necessities such as housing\, employment\, family matters\, subsistence income\, and so forth. Curran will discuss how this system disproportionately disadvantages communities of color\, LGBT individuals\, immigrants\, victims of domestic violence and people in rural areas. She will also talk about the important role that lawyers can play in working with community advocates to increase access to justice and in creating social change.

SUMMARY:Visiting Professor Erin J. Kappeler's lecture on "Mary Austin's Time Machine: Modernist Poetics and Settler Time"
DESCRIPTION:Visiting professor Erin J. Kappeler (Tulane University) will be speaking in Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall on Wednesday\, March 4\, at 3PM. \nKappeler will explore key texts by the modernist poet and activist Mary Austin\, who helped to invent Native American poetry as a field\, to show that the concept of free verse was a tool of settler cultural domination as much as it was a democratization of poetic language or a formal innovation. This history of free verse translations of Native American oral expressions opens pressing questions about the ethics of translation and about legacies of settler colonial appropriations of Native American cultural materials in contemporary English departments. \nPart of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s symposium on “Society\, Colonization\, and Decolonization.” The event is free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:From Smarter Planet to Wiser Earth: Re-Envisioning Relationships between AI Technologies\, Human Society\, and Natural World
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 23 at 12:30 pm\, the Socialist and Marxist Studies Speaker Series presents a talk by Gray Cox (Professor\, College of the Atlantic) titled “From Smarter Planet to Wiser Earth: Re-Envisioning Relationships between AI Technologies\, Human Society\, and Natural World.” \n(Zoom link: https://maine.zoom.us/j/3657262020) \nGray Cox\, Professor\, College of the Atlantic \nHow will Artificial Intelligence programs like ChatGPT transform the ways knowledge and belief are created and used to structure the economic\, political\, and technological systems that dominate our world?

In this Zoom lecture\, Gray Cox will introduce systematic answers to these challenges as developed in his new book: Smarter Planet or Wiser Earth? How Dialogue can Transform Artificial Intelligence into Collaborative Wisdom. \nThe Spring 2023 Socialist and Marxist Studies Series is sponsored by the Marxist and Socialist Studies Minor\, co-sponsored by Maine Peace Action Comm.

SUMMARY:The Blue Commons: Combating Rentier Capitalism in the Sea
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 13 at 12:30 pm\, the University of Maine Socialist and Marxist Studies Speaker Series presents a talk by Guy Standing (Professor\, Economist\, SOAS University of London of Philosophy) titled “The Blue Commons: Combating Rentier Capitalism in the Sea.” \n(Zoom link https://maine.zoom.us/j/3657262020) \nGuy Standing\, Professor\, Economist\, SOAS University of London of Philosophy \nGuy Standing is one of the world’s leading progressive economists. In his new book\, The Blue Commons\, he submits that in the past 50 years\, the sea has been subject to the greatest enclosure in history\, which has led to the most extensive privatization with the grip of global finance involved in highly profitable rent-seeking activities. We have a green politics\, but not a blue politics. The blue commons have been plundered. This is ecologically and economically catastrophic. Guy Standing proposes a progressive strategy that would revive the blue commons\, reverse environmental decay\, and reduce inequalities while giving commoners basic economic security. \nThe Spring 2023 Socialist and Marxist Studies Series is sponsored by the Marxist and Socialist Studies Minor\, co-sponsored by Maine Peace Action Comm. (MPAC) and Division of Student Affairs\, with support of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Dept. of Philosophy. Speakers do not necessarily present socialist or Marxist viewpoints.
