- Bioethics Colloquium with Marion Nestle
Almost anything related to food raises ethics issues of one kind or another. Examples: Is it ethical to eat meat? Is it ethical for "junk food" manufacturers to market to children or to low-income consumers in the United States or in developing countries? Is it ethical to promote the use of meal replacement products to children who are not in emergency situations? Such issues do not have easy answers and, for that reason, are worth serious thought.

- A few weeks ago, New York City--along with a long swath of North America's Atlantic coast and several Carribean islands--was battered by Superstorm Sandy, a weather system that caused unprecedented damage to hundreds of communities. The Institute for Public Knowledge is organizing a Public Forum at NYU to think broadly about this storm, climate change, and the city of New York. How do we prepare for a future with more frequent and violent storms? What are the roles for government agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens in emergency preparedness? What are the public health implications--both long-term and short? Does New York need a massive design intervention, or some new housing codes? When we rebuild, where should we rebuild--and how?
This forum will feature panelists Heidi Cullen (Climate Watch), Klaus Jacob (Columbia/SIPA), Dale Jamieson (NYU/Environmental Studies), and Eric Klinenberg (NYU/IPK/Sociology), and it will be moderated by Chelsea Clinton (O...

- Join us in welcoming 2012-13 Artist-in-Residence Roger Shimomura to the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. Acclaimed for his poignant, bright-colored prints and paintings, award-winning artist Shimomura challenges constructions of the racialized "other" and calls attention to the power of material and pop culture to normalize whiteness. He is joined by renowned painter Michael Ray Charles, whose work incorporates and interrogates racist mass media images of African Americans. The artists will address the power of art to expose stereotypes and create new visual vocabularies.
Roger Shimomura's paintings, prints, and theatre pieces address sociopolitical issues of ethnicity. He was born in Seattle, Washington and spent two years of his early childhood in Minidoka (Idaho), one of ten concentration camps for Japanese Americans during World War II. He has had over 135 solo exhibitions of paintings and prints, and has presented his experimental theatre pieces at such venue...

Chazen Professor of International Business at Columbia Business School and a professor of psychology at Columbia University's Earth Institute Center for Research on Environmental Decisions, will place the psychological dimension of climate change within the broader context of human dimensions of climate change. She will address (a) human causes of, consequences of, and responses (adaptation and mitigation) to climate change and (b) the links between these aspects of climate change and cognitive, affective, motivational, interpersonal, and organizational responses and processes.
Weber is an expert on behavioral models of decision-making under risk and uncertainty, investigating psychologically and neurally plausible ways to model individual differences in risk taking and discounting, specifically in risky financial situations and environmental decisions.<...

- Institute of the Ancient World - New York University presents:
"Echoes of the Past" unites a group of imposing sculptures from the Northern Qi period (550-577 CE) Buddhist cave temple complex at Xiangtangshan in northern China with a full-scale, digital, 3-D reconstruction of the interior of one of the site's impressive caves. This innovative installation provides an unprecedented insight into the original setting for these remarkable sculptures by marrying twenty-first-century digital techniques and ancient objects. The sculptures are extraordinarily accomplished, their refinement seen in facial expressions, hand gestures, and adornment. These statues are among the finest embodiments of the essence of Chinese Buddhist sculpture as we now know it, and are seminal to our understanding of the history of Chinese Buddhist style and iconography.

Javits Visiting Professorship Lecture, "BRICs, Human Rights, and the New International Legal Order," on Wed., April 25, 5 p.m., at NYU's Silver Center (Hemmerdinger Hall), 100 Washington Square East (at Washington Place/enter at 32 Waverly Place or 31 Washington Place).
Few matters generate as much consensus in international affairs today as the need to rebuild the world geopolitical order. A retooled international order, Castañeda contends, would be far more representative of the distribution of power in the world today, but it is not clear whether it would be better. Changes in Libya and Egypt in the past year, along with the conflict in Syria, have made these questions even more pressing.

- Description
- The Farm Bill, which has had such a huge impact on much of America's eating life, is up for reauthorization in 2012. "The Critical Topics in Food Series" will attempt to digest the implications of this far-reaching legislation in two discussions this May. The first, "Food Fight!" will bring together articulate policy wonks to talk through how the legislation, which ran to nearly 700 printed pages, has wandered madly from its original focus of helping struggling farmers and other hungry Americans after the Great Depression.
This first of two conversations, moderated by Clark Wolf, host of the Fales Library's "Critical Topics in Food Series," visits, from a policy standpoint, the many facets and issues of this extensive, complex, and costly legislation. A reception and book signing will follow immediately after the discussion. Books from Dan Imhoff and Marion Nestle will be available for purchase at the event.

- Emotion Versus Cognition in Moral Decision-Making: A Dubious Dichotomy

- James Woodward, Distinguished Professor of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh
Abstract: A great deal of work, both within moral philosophy and in the cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience of moral reasoning, assumes a relatively sharp contrast between "cognition" and "emotion", often with the additional idea that moral decision-making is likely to be normatively
better to the extent that it derives from cognitive rather than emotional processing. I plan to argue that recent developments in neuroscience undercut the idea that there is a sharp emotion/cognition contrast. The neural areas standardly identified as involved in emotional processing (e.g., amygdala, insula, ventro-medial and orbital frontal cortex) do a great deal of
sophisticated information processing that looks "cognitive" in many respects. Conversely, reward processing and valuation are centrally involved in learning and other kinds of processing that has traditionall...

- Guy Kahane, Deputy Director & Research Fellow, Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford
Abstract: It would be nice to know more about what happens in our brains when we judge what we morally ought to do. But for normative ethics, this kind of scientific research is of interest only if it could tell us something new about what we ought to do. On this question, opinions are sharply divided. In this talk, I show how scientific claims about moral psychology can give non-trivial
support to substantive claims in normative ethics. There are in fact several types of arguments that can validly take us from empirical findings to novel normative conclusions. It turns out, however, that these arguments leave only a fairly peripheral role to neuroscience.
