SUMMARY:The Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Series: Einstein's War: How World War I Made Relativity
DESCRIPTION:Einstein’s ascent to worldwide celebrity was\, in large part\, not his own doing. The 1919 confirmation of the German Einstein’s theory of general relativity by British astronomers soon after the end of the First World War made him an emblem of how science could rise above nationalism and petty patriotism.  But in fact international science – and relativity with it – was nearly shattered by the war. It was only the dedicated efforts of pacifist scientists\, chiefly A.S. Eddington\, that pulled both Einstein and his theory from behind the trenches and onto the front pages of newspapers around the globe. \nMatthew Stanley teaches and researches the history and philosophy of science. He holds degrees in astronomy\, religion\, physics\, and the history of science and is interested in the connections between science and the wider culture. He is the author of Einstein’s War: How Relativity Triumphed Amid the Vicious Nationalism of World War I (Dutton\, 2019)\, the story of how pacifism and friendship led to scientific revolution.  He has also written Practical Mystic: Religion\, Science\, and A. S. Eddington (Chicago 2007) and Huxley’s Church and Maxwell’s Demon (Chicago 2014)\, which explore the complex relationships between science and religion in history. His current project is a history of scientific predictions of the end of the world. Professor Stanley has also worked with a nationwide National Science Foundation-funded effort to use the humanities to improve science education in the college classroom\, and was awarded the 2019 NYU Distinguished Teaching Award and the 2014-2015 Gallatin Dean’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. \nCosponsored by the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Fund and the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: For He Gladdens the Earth: Consent and Conjugality in the Astral State
DESCRIPTION:Traditional discussions of gender in Hindu traditions often begin with a critique of patriarchy in orthodox Brahmanical Dharmaśāstras\, followed by a turn to potential feminist resources—for example\, in goddess worship\, Śākta traditions\, and Tantra. One effect of this line of thinking has been a relative absence within Hindu studies of reflections on gender in relation to state power\, a thematic hallmark of feminist postcolonial histories of South Asia. Geslani’s talk reframes the question of gender in premodern Hindu traditions by historicizing orthodox gender theories in relation to other contemporaneous interlocutors. He focuses on royal sexual politics as depicted in the astral sciences\, Jyotiḥśāstras\, which he argues are crucial texts for uncovering the ideology of the medieval state. When placed in relation to ritual and omenology\, an astral theory of conjugality reveals the uniquely gendered power of royal bodies to naturalize political consent. \nMarko Geslani is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of South Carolina. He is the author of Rites of the God-King: Śānti and Ritual Change in Early Hinduism (Oxford University Press 2018). \nSponsored by the IHC South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group
