SUMMARY:Manuel Vargas\, Professor\, Department of Philosophy\, UCSD
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Bio: Manuel Vargas is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of California San Diego. One facet of his research focuses on the overlap of moral and psychological issues concerning human agency and freedom. A second facet concerns the history of philosophy in Mexico\, and a third focuses on issues in contemporary Latina/o/x/e philosophy. Vargas is the author of the forthcoming Mexican Philosophy (OUP)\, which showcases notable episodes in the history of philosophy in Mexico. He is also the author of Building Better Beings: A Theory of Moral Responsibility (OUP\, 2013)\, which won the American Philosophical Association’s Book Prize in 2015. From 2019-2021\, Vargas and Santiago Amaya (U. de los Andes)\, co-directed a $1.2 million project funded by the John Templeton Foundation to foster philosophical work on free will\, agency\, and responsibility in Latin America. With Clinton Tolley (UC San Diego)\, he directs the Mexican Philosophy Lab at UC San Diego. http://vargasphilosophy.com/ \n  \nAbstract: A variety of philosophers and social theorists have thought that Latinxs don’t fit the usual identity categories in the United States. The category doesn’t seem like a racial category\, because its members can be members of any racial group. It also doesn’t seem especially promising as an ethnic category\, because it is unclear that there is sufficient cultural overlap amongst its members to constitute an ethnic group. Various other proposals—ethnorace\, historical families\, affordances\, and so on—all seem to face their own problems. There is a way to sidestep many of the familiar challenges to the category\, but it comes at the cost of doing both more and less than we might hope for a social identity category. Even so\, this shows us something important about the limits and significance of such categories.

SUMMARY:“The Irei Project: A Buddhist-Inspired Monument to the WWII Japanese American Incarceration”
DESCRIPTION:Professor Williams will give a talk on “The Irei Project: A Buddhist-Inspired Monument to the WWII Japanese American Incarceration. In this talk\, Duncan Ryuken Williams will first describe the history of monument-building by Japanese American internees and incarcerees confined in America’s concentration camps during WWII. Created under the leadership of Buddhist priests at Manzanar and Rohwer\, the Ireito and Ireihi monuments – which still stand in the former camp cemeteries – were the most well-known memorials to the forced removal and injustice of incarceration. Williams will then speak about a contemporary national monument-building project that he directs called The Irei Project that is inspired by the wartime memorials. This event is open to all CSUN community members. \nDuncan Williams Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, USC \nPresented by the Department of Religious Studies and the Academic Programming Fund of the College of Humanities \nFor more information contact Prof. Kenneth Lee; klee@csun.edu. \n“The Irei Project: A Buddhist-Inspired Monument to the WWII Japanese American Incarceration” flyer (PDF)

SUMMARY:Why do we have rituals? Guest Speaker\, Dimitris Xygalatas
DESCRIPTION:A word from the special guest speaker: From weddings to college graduations and from prayers to painful fire-walking ceremonies\, ritual is everywhere. At first glance\, such activities might seem pointless. So why do we all engage in them? Anthropologists have long proposed that rituals persist because they convey certain benefits to their practitioners and their communities. But how can we study these ostensible benefits\, given the contextually sensitive nature of cultural practices? In this talk\, I will present an interdisciplinary research program that combines laboratory and field methods to explore the puzzle of ritual in real-life settings\, from some of the most mundane to some of the most extraordinary rituals in the world. Drawing upon my findings\, I will also explore the implications for other domains\, like sports\, entertainment\, and politics. \nRSVP to join guest speaker\, Dimitris Xygalatas
