  • Quarantine Sessions: A Distributed Electroacoustic Network Improvisation - DATE CORRECTED!
    Events at Stanford - 19:57 Nov 16, 2021
    Date: Sunday, November 21, 2021. 1:00 PM. Location: online | CCRMA Live Correction: This event will occur Nov. 21st, not Nov. 14th, as originally announced. The Coronavirus Crisis has changed our lives, and we are in the midst of a long period without concerts as we knew them. In addition to the problem of large audiences, the regulations also make it "virtually" impossible for musicians to get together, rehearse, or perform. However, many technologies and solutions are available, helping us to find new ways of collaborating and transporting our work to audiences. We have been programming, testing, and rehearsing in an online environment with artists in the US and Europe. The sessions are broadcast live with audio and video feeds from each site. | Livestreaming at CCRMA Live The Core performers Constantin Basica (Stanford, CA) Chris Chafe (Woodside, CA) Henrik von Coler (Berlin, DE) Fernando Lopez-Lezcano (San Carlos, CA) Juan Parra (Ghent, BE) Klaus Scheuermann (Berlin, DE) Guest artists Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong...
  • Weintz Art Lecture Series: Clémentine Deliss
    Events at Stanford - 19:09 Nov 16, 2021
    Date: Wednesday, December 1, 2021. 1:00 PM. Location: Online via Zoom The Department of Art & Art History's Weintz Art Lecture Series presents Clémentine Deliss, Global Humanities Professor of Art History, University of Cambridge "The collection centric museum-university of the future" All museums are civic spaces that, together with universities and art colleges, perform an essential educational role. But how do we make their vast collections of historical artifacts active once more while the world is becoming increasingly virtual? Today, a renewed global engagement with archives takes the museum beyond its existing definition toward a more radical understanding of curatorial and educational urgency. Working with collections established under the cultural politics of colonialism necessarily addresses the “stuff of the body” (Merleau-Ponty) out of which the world is made. So what do we do about efficiency, ecology, and sustainability, and how does that reflect not only in the way we curate, collect, and conse...

  • Lawyering the Presidency: Legal Counsel and Constraints on the Use of Force
    Events at Stanford - 00:53 Nov 16, 2021
    Date: Thursday, December 9, 2021. 3:30 PM. Location: Virtual Only. This event will not be held in person.  Among its many profound effects on American life, the Trump presidency triggered a surge of interest in reforms that might better check the exercise of presidential power – from enhancing ethics and transparency requirements to reining in sweeping congressional delegations of substantive authority. Yet these reform efforts arise against a wholly unsettled debate about the function and effectiveness of existing checks, perhaps none more so than the role of executive branch legal counsel. With courts often deferential, and Congress often hamstrung by partisan polarization, scholars have focused on the experiences of executive branch lawyers to illuminate whether counsel functions as part of an “internal separation of powers,” an effective first-order constraint on the presidency.  Yet while these descriptive accounts are invaluable, they are also limited to the attorney side of an attorney-client relations...

  • The Multiplicity Turn: Theories of Identity from Poetry to Mathematics
    Events at Stanford - 00:43 Nov 16, 2021
    Date: Wednesday, November 24, 2021. 12:00 PM. Location: Zoom November 24, 2021 at 12:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) Fred Moten (Performance Studies, New York University) Denise Ferreira da Silva (Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, University of British Columbia) Moderator: TBA *This event will be held in English About the Collaborative Research Project: In the last century, major breakthroughs in our understanding of ‘identity’ have changed the way that we think about ourselves and the world around us. In the Humanities, fields such as Race and Ethnicity Studies, Gender Studies, History, and Literary Studies have taught us to think of who we are and how we identify ourselves from an intersectional, multicultural, and interspecies viewpoint. In contemporary Mathematics and Logic, the notion of identity has been the object of a radical reconceptualization, mainly developed in the framework of category theory and homotopy type theory. This reconceptualization has shed light on new plural, multi-laye...

  • Cyber Threats and Nuclear Weapons
    Events at Stanford - 00:43 Nov 16, 2021
    Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2021. 1:00 PM. Location: Virtual to Public. Only those with an active Stanford ID with access to William J Perry Conference Room in Encina Hall may attend in person. About the Event: The technology controlling United States nuclear weapons predates the Internet. Updating the technology for the digital era is necessary, but it comes with the risk that anything digital can be hacked. Moreover, using new systems for both nuclear and non-nuclear operations will lead to levels of nuclear risk hardly imagined before. This book is the first to confront these risks comprehensively. With Cyber Threats and Nuclear Weapons, Herbert Lin provides a clear-eyed breakdown of the cyber risks to the U.S. nuclear enterprise. Featuring a series of scenarios that clarify the intersection of cyber and nuclear risk, this book guides readers through a little-understood element of the risk profile that government decision-makers should be anticipating. What might have happened if the Cuban Missile Crisis t...
