SUMMARY:STAIGS ANNUAL LECTURE. 13 May 2025. DR. ASIYA ISLAM. ‘Working women’: Gender\, work\, and the politics of refusal
DESCRIPTION:‘Working women’: Gender\, work\, and the politics of refusal\nPopular discussions about the four-day working week\, quiet quitting\, and the great resignation following the Covid19 pandemic indicate dissatisfaction with and changing attitudes towards contemporary waged work. And yet\, waged work remains central to the construction of the aspirational\, entrepreneurial\, hyper-industrious woman essential for development in the Global South. In this lecture\, I will draw upon longitudinal ethnographic research with young women in Delhi\, India to explore situated vocabularies of work as a window into changing understandings of work amidst a push towards increasing women’s workforce participation. The distinction between different forms of work shows change in and reproduction of gender\, class\, and caste relations\, and is important for refusal of certain kinds of work. To chart a path towards understanding everyday lives that are constituted through but also entail rejection of work\, I will put feminist scholarship that explores globalisation and gendered subjectivities into conversation with feminist engagements with antiwork politics.    \n13 MAY 2025\n16:00 – 18:00\nJohn Henderson Lecture Room\, Castlecliffe \n14 MAY 2015\nMasterclass\n11:00-13:00\nSchool V\,\nSt Salvator’s Quad. \nIf you want to come the master class on the 14th of may\, these are the readings that Asiya will discuss with you.\n\nIslam A.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind seminar: Ryan Nefdt (University of Cape Town)
DESCRIPTION:Title:  The Boundaries of Learning in Humans and AI \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, I discuss a recent controversy in the philosophies of AI and cognitive science. The issue of ‘impossible grammars’ has some pedigree in theoretical linguistics as an offshoot of both the Universal Grammar postulate and the Principles and Parameters framework of the early 1980’s. Recently\, the idea that human language is constrained by particular kinds of rules has been used to challenge the emerging optimism concerning the role of language models in cognitive science.\nI offer some caution to both sides of an emerging debate\, arguing the language models are neither irrelevant due to their alleged unconstrained learning nor necessarily aligned when they show some human-like learning biases.

SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Stavroula Pipyrou (Social Anthropology\, in-person) – Feminism and Patriarchy in the Shadow of the Cold War
DESCRIPTION:Title: Feminism and Patriarchy in the Shadow of the Cold War\n \nAbstract: The presentation is an extract from my new book “Lurking Cold War” where I make an argument about historical communion – history that matters in ways that matter. Two of the protagonists in north Italy\, Giorgia and Eleonora are resigned to a life in a nation-state engulfed in right-wing nationalism. They explore the 2022 election of Giorgia Meloni within the framework of a continuing Cold War. The lurking Cold War lives on in literature\, education systems\, and family politics. They introduce intersections between personal beliefs\, the structures of Italian family and society\, and feminist literary and philosophical inspirations.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Vid Simoniti (University of Liverpool)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Merely Imagined Moralities\n \nAbstract: Artworks and other cultural products (films\, novels\, operas\, pop songs\, etc.) often express heroic\, pessimistic\, melancholy\, or dark ways of looking at the world (also referred to as ‘perspectives’). Sometimes\, these worldviews appear politically inflected; we may\, for instance\, describe a work as “feminist” or “patriotic” according to the worldview it expresses. Drawing on Elisabeth Camp’s and Nelson Goodman’s work\, I propose that when artworks express worldviews\, they (i) represent sets of mental dispositions for interpreting and reacting to the real world\, and (ii) they achieve this by leading the audience to temporarily inhabit those dispositions. This view has at least two important implications: first\, it makes little sense to morally evaluate artworks for expressing worldviews\, because representing mental dispositions does not amount to endorsing them. Secondly\, the expression of worldviews through artworks and other cultural products nevertheless plays a specific\, underappreciated role in political discourse. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03
