SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: "On Sarah Dorsey: A Nineteenth-century Southern Woman’s Rediscovered Lecture on the Philosophy of the University of France"
DESCRIPTION:Philosopher Sarah Dorsey \nOn Sarah Dorsey: A Nineteenth-century Southern Woman’s Rediscovered Lecture on the Philosophy of the University of France\nA talk by Carol Bensick\, PhD\nSarah Dorsey (1829-1879) is the earliest woman from the U.S. South to devote herself to philosophy. Besides the later Anna Julia Cooper\, she is only the second Southern woman philosopher to be discovered by feminist historians–the first from the “Deep” South. She is the first American to make a study of contemporary French philosophy\, and also the first American to make a study of Hindu philosophy. Dorsey was the first woman to made a study of the biological debate over the original of species. Hidden till now in periodicals and pamphlets\, her work stands to change the shape of the canon of American women philosophers –possibly even that of American philosophy itself. \nCarol Bensick completed her Ph.D. at Cornell University in American Literary and Intellectual History\, specializing in Puritanism and Transcendentalism. She was an assistant professor at the University of Denver\, the University of Oregon\, and UC Riverside and gained tenure at University of Oregon. She taught summer school at Cornell and UCLA and Extension at UCR. Her revised dissertation was published as La Nouvelle Beatrice: Renaissance and Romance in ‘Rappaccini’s Daughter.” She edited and wrote the headnote for Jonathan Edwards for the first Heath Anthology of American Literature. In her earlier career she presented papers at local\, regional\, and national meetings and published essays and reviews for reference works\, collections\, and journals focusing on philosophical writers and literary writers on philosophical themes. As research affiliate of the CSW she roams the nineteenth-century archives turning up women philosophers wherever she goes. \nAttendees are invited to bring their lunch to this brown bag talk.

SUMMARY:Gender and Water: Andrea Ballestero\, "A Future History of Water"
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by UCLA Department of Anthropology Culture\, Power\, and Social Change Interest Group.\nPart of Gender and Water\nIn this book talk\, Andrea Ballestero will discuss how to think anthropologically about the techno-legal devices used to deal with the politics of water in the present and in the yet to come. Ballestero will focus on the work of regulators in Costa Rica and how they use pricing formulas and the consumer price index to imagine their responsibility for society and the household as a space of water politics. Ballestero will invite the audience to think about what an anthropology of techno-legal devices looks like if we are open to wonder as an epistemic disposition. This is particularly powerful at a moment in which notions of crisis overwhelm our sense of the limits of the possible. \nBallestero’s first book\, A Future History of Water (forthcoming from Duke University Press) asks how the difference between a human right and a commodity is produced in regulatory and governance spaces that purport to be open to different forms of knowledge and promote flexibility and experimentation. Ballestero has worked with regulators\, policy-makers\, and NGOs in Costa Rica and Brazil to trace how technolegal devices embody moral distinctions\,  pose questions about the foundations of liberal capitalist societies\, and help people inhabit non-linear and generative futures. \nAndrea Ballestero is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Rice University. Ballestero’s work looks at the unexpected ethical and technical entanglements through which experts understand water in Latin America. \nDate: Thursday\, May 16\, 2019 \nTime: 12:45-2:15 PM \nLocation: 352 Haines Hall \n  \nDon’t miss a second event with Andrea Ballestero on May 17: Gender and Water Research Masterclass.\n

SUMMARY:The OpEd Project presents "Write to Change the World"
DESCRIPTION:CSW is  thrilled to announce that we are partnering with The OpEd Project to bring a special day-long seminar to UCLA!\n\n\n\nLearn how to write\, pitch\, and publish op-eds; assert your expertise; and increase the range of voices and ideas that we hear from in our media.\n\n  \n“Write to Change the World” will bring emerging voices together for an interactive day of live experiments around expertise\, credibility\, ideas and impact. The seminar is designed to test assumptions about our individual knowledge\, and what it takes to be influential on a large scale. We explore the source of credibility; the patterns and elements of persuasion; the difference between being “right” and being effective; how to preach beyond the choir; and how to think bigger about what you know—to have more impact in the world. Participants emerge with concrete results\, including the outline for an op-ed. The seminar is open to everyone–scholars\, students\, entrepreneurs\, activists\, nonprofit leaders\, executives\, writers and righteous thinkers across the political spectrum. Participants leave with access to a network of high-level journalist-mentors for follow-up support. Curriculum parallels a portion of The OpEd Project’s year-long faculty fellowship program at leading institutions nationwide\, including Yale\, Northwestern\, Columbia\, Cornell\, Dartmouth\, The Ford Foundation and others.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: May 19\, 2019\nTime: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM\nLocation: 2125 Rolfe Hall\nPre-registration required. Register online.\n\nScholarship spots may be available! Contact chelsea@theopedproject.org for more details.
