SUMMARY:Bettina Aptheker: "The Meaning of Freedom of Speech: Surveillance\, Incarceration & the Politics of the First Amendment"
DESCRIPTION:Bettina Aptheker co-led the Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley in 1964. She will give a brief retrospective and then consider the different ways in which race\, gender\, class\, and sexuality effect the exercise of freedom of speech as a collective right established by the First (and Fourteenth) amendments. Bettina will clarify the difference between freedom of speech and academic freedom\, and ask us to think about both in the context of Tea Party politics\, mass incarceration\, and the unprecedented technologies of surveillance. \nEveryone welcome. Questions and answers to follow the talk. \nFood for Thought Quarterly Faculty Speaker Series is an opportunity for students to connect with faculty in an informal and interactive setting. Join us each quarter for a presentation from a renowned UCSC faculty member. Hear about the speaker’s research and professional experience\, learn more about an aspect of their work\, and enjoy an opportunity to interact and ask questions. And\, get to know the other side of the faculty member through food – light refreshments provided will represent some favorite food or cuisine of our invited guest. \nPresented by the College Nine and College Ten CoCurricular Programs Office.

SUMMARY:Rachel Chrastil: "Inventing Humanitarianism: Gender and the Civilian Male in Besieged Strasbourg"
DESCRIPTION:In August 1870 the Prussians and their German allies laid siege to the French city of Strasbourg and bombed the city center\, killing and wounding civilian men\, women and children. The siege gave rise to the first instance of wartime international humanitarian aid to civilians. This talk examines the experience of that aid from the perspective of the recipients as well as the ethical debates over the city’s continued resistance in the face of overwhelming force.\n\nRachel Chrastil joined the faculty at Xavier University in 2005\, after receiving her Ph.D. in History at Yale University.  Since then\, she has written two books on the civilian experience of war\, including The Siege of Strasbourg (forthcoming\, Harvard University Press).  She has been a Fulbright U.S. Scholar and an invited speaker on humanitarianism\, human rights and historical memory.  She currently holds a Xavier University Faculty Fellowship to promote quantitative literacy across the curriculum.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Colloquium with Seth Yalcin: "Epistemic Modality De Re"
DESCRIPTION:I describe some new puzzles about the interaction of epistemic modality with quantification. I offer to dissolve the puzzles using a nonstandard kind of situation semantics. On the theory I develop\, possibilities are partial\, and quantification involves tacit modality. \n(Ph.D.\, MIT) Professor Yalcin works primarily in the philosophy of language\, though his research extends to issues in the philosophy of mind\, metaphysics\, formal epistemology\, and linguistics. Yalcin runs the Meaning Sciences Club at UC Berkeley\, which is focused on semantics and related topics in syntax\, pragmatics\, logic\, cognitive science\, and the philosophy of language.  Yalcin is also co-organizer of The History and Philosophy of Logic\, Mathematics\, and Science group at UC Berkeley\, a Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities Working Group devoted to the discussion of historical and philosophical issues in symbolic logic\, mathematics\, and science.
