SUMMARY:Crossings+Boundaries TALK: Opening the Gates of Heaven: Religious and Philosophical Implications of Space Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Religion and philosophy have always been present in human space exploration\, in the form of religious rituals practiced during space missions\, placement of sacred objects in space\, and astronauts’ descriptions of transcendental changes in perspective when looking back on Earth. Space exploration also poses ethical\, religious\, and philosophical challenges. How\, for example\, do we protect other celestial bodies from contamination by human space exploration? How do we protect the Earth from contamination by extraterrestrial samples brought back on spaceships? How will human society be represented to extraterrestrial beings? What are the wide-ranging implications of finding life in the universe? \nIn his talk\, Waltemathe will discuss these issues\, exploring questions that seem to belong to the realm of science fiction while focusing on scientifically plausible exploration scenarios. \nMichael Waltemathe is senior lecturer in the Department of Protestant Theology at Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. He also serves as an officer of the Astrosociology Research Institute\, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the development of astrosociology as a multidisciplinary academic field. Dr. Waltemathe is also a founding member of IASGAR\, the International Academy for the Study of Gaming and Religion. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Crossings + Boundaries series.\nImage credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/McGill

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Cold War Curvature: Measuring and Modeling Gravity in Postwar American Physics
DESCRIPTION:A popular image persists of Albert Einstein as a loner\, someone who avoided the hustle and bustle of everyday life in favor of quiet contemplation. Yet Einstein was deeply engaged with politics throughout his life; indeed\, he was so active politically that the FBI kept him under surveillance for decades. His most enduring scientific legacy\, the general theory of relativity – physicists’ reigning explanation of gravity and the basis for nearly all our thinking about the cosmos – has likewise been cast as an austere temple standing aloof from the all-too-human dramas of political history. But was it so? By focusing on examples of research on general relativity from the 1950s and 1960s\, this lecture will examine some of the ways in which research on Einstein’s theory was embedded in\, and at times engulfed by\, the tumult of world politics. \nDavid Kaiser is Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science and Professor of Physics at MIT. His books include Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics (2005)\, which received the Pfizer Prize from the History of Science Society for best book in the field; and How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science\, Counterculture\, and the Quantum Revival (2011)\, which was named “Book of the Year” by Physics World magazine. He is currently writing two books about gravity: a physics textbook with his colleague Alan Guth on gravitation and cosmology\, and a history of research on general relativity over the twentieth century. \nSponsored by the Dept. of History and the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG.

SUMMARY:HUMANITIES DECANTED: Robert Samuels\, Educating Inequality: Beyond the Political Myths of Higher Education and the Job Market
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Robert Samuels (Writing) and Heather Steffen (English and Writing) about Samuels’ new work\, Educating Inequality. Refreshments will be served. \nPoliticians and school officials often argue that higher education is the solution to many of our social and economic problems. Educating Inequality argues that in order to reduce inequality and enhance social mobility\, public policies are needed to revamp the financial aid system and increase the number of good jobs. Exploring topics such as the fairness of the current social system\, the focus on individual competition in an unequal society\, and democracy and capitalism in higher education\, this important book seeks to uncover the major myths that shape how people view higher education and its relation to the economy. Looking to models that generate economic mobility and social equality\, this book advocates a broader vision for public higher education to promote universal equality and global awareness. \nBob Samuels’ research interests include academic writing\, social science writing\, psychoanalysis\, rhetoric\, and media. He holds doctorates in Psychology and English\, and he is the author of numerous books\, including The Politics of Writing Studies: Reinventing Our Universities from Below and Why Public Higher Education Should Be Free. He blogs at Changing Universities. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment.
