SUMMARY:UCSC Alumni Weekend
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz is a place like no other. It was imagined from the minds of original thinkers—the rebels and visionaries\, artists\, scientists\, and poets who had the courage to strike off on a different path. They were in search of ideas that question norms in hopes of making the world a better place. \nNow we are celebrating 50 years of questioning authority. Stay tuned for more details. \nAlumni Weekend 2015\nApril 23-26 at UC Santa Cruz\nhttp://specialevents.ucsc.edu/alumniweekend/ \nQuestions? Contact alumni@ucsc.edu or call (831) 459-5003.

SUMMARY:Shelly Wilcox: "Immigration Justice in Nonideal Circumstances"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn recent years\, political philosophers have begun to interrogate the methodology they use to construct normative principles. Some have voiced the concern that prevailing liberal egalitarian principles are constructed under idealized assumptions and thus are ill-suited to real-world circumstances where such assumptions do not apply. Specifically\, critics have raised three related objections to so-called ideal theory: (1) ideal theory cannot help us understand current injustices in the actual\, nonideal world; (2) ideal principles are not sufficiently action-guiding; and (3) ideal theory is counterproductive or even dangerous because it tends to reflect and perpetuate illicit group privilege. \nThis paper explores recent work on the ethics of immigration in light of these methodological criticisms\, focusing on the open borders debate. The central question in this debate is whether liberal states have a moral right to restrict immigration. I argue that prominent arguments on both sides of this issue are subject to the standard criticisms of ideal theory\, and thus that a nonideal normative approach to immigration in urgently needed. I then develop several methodological desiderata for such an approach and draw upon these criteria to outline the broad contours of an adequate nonideal theory of justice in immigration. \n*** \nBiography: \nShelley Wilcox is Professor of Philosophy at San Francisco State University. She works in the areas of social and political philosophy\, feminist philosophy\, and applied ethics\, with a special interest in immigration\, global justice\, and urban environmental issues. She has published articles on the ethics of immigration and globalization in Philosophical Studies\, Social Theory and Practice\, Journal of Social Philosophy\, Philosophy Compass\, and The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy\, as well as in numerous anthologies. She is currently working on a book manuscript on urban environmental ethics and serving as Book Review Editor of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy. \n  \n\n  \nThe campus community and interested public are welcome at all Philosophy Department sponsored colloquia\, conferences and workshops. \nSpring 2015 \n\nShelly Wilcox\, San Francisco State\n\nWinter 2015 \n\nRebecca Kukla\, Georgetown\nFelipe De Brigard\, Duke\n\nFall 2014 \n\nEric Schwitzgebel\, UC Riverside: The Moral Behavior of Ethics Professors\n\n  \nMore info at: http://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia-conferences/index.html

SUMMARY:Linguistics Research Colloquia: Grant Goodall
DESCRIPTION:Grant Goodall: “Grammar and working memory: How experimental syntax can help us tell the difference” \nThe use of formal experiments to measure sentence acceptability\, known as “experimental syntax”\, is able to capture many fine-grained grammatical contrasts\, but it also captures effects that have long been thought to be extra-grammatical\, such as those induced by increased cost to working memory. This ambiguity in the source of acceptability is a problem in some ways\, but experimental syntax itself gives us some useful tools to address it. I show this through a series of case studies of constraints on wh-dependencies\, including the role of intervening arguments\, finiteness\, D-linking\, and islands. These cases suggest that grammatical and working memory constraints can be usefully distinguished\, with the former sensitive to intervening hierarchical structure and the latter sensitive to intervening referents. \n  \n\n  \nAbout eight times each year the department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nMore information at: http://linguistics.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia/index.html \n2014 – 2015 Speakers \nFALL 2014\nOctober 17th\nJane Grimshaw\, Rutgers \nDecember 12th\nAdam Albright\, MIT \nWINTER 2015\nJanuary 16th\nClaire Halpert\, University of Minnesota \nJanuary 23rd\nValentine Hacquard\, Maryland \nFebruary 6th\nRachel Walker\, USC \nmid-March: date TBA\nLASC: Linguistics at Santa Cruz Conference \nSPRING 2015\nApril 10th\nDaniel Lassiter\, Stanford \nApril 17th\nKeith Johnson\, UC Berkeley \nMay 1st\nGrant Goodall\, UC San Diego \nMay/June: date TBA\nLURC: Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference
