In this episode, we look into how we can learn from intentionally guiding our imagination while also looking into how much of the imagination operates outside of our conscious control. We also continue to explore the limits of imagination and how it can be used for both good and ill. Our guest scholar in this episode is Dr. Tamar Gendler, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Vincent J. Scully Professor of Philosophy, and Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Yale University. --- Dr. Tamar Szabó Gendler is Yale's Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Vincent J. Scully Professor of Philosophy, and Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science. She holds a BA summa cum laude with Distinction in Humanities and in Mathematics-&-Philosophy from Yale University (1987) and a PhD in Philosophy from Harvard University (1996). After teaching at Syracuse and Cornell Universities for nearly a decade, she returned to Yale in 2006 as Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Cognitive Science Program. In 2009-10, supported by the Mellon Foundation's New Directions program, she spent a year as a full-time student at Yale doing coursework in psychology, neuroscience, and statistics. In 2010, she was appointed Chair of the Yale philosophy department, becoming the first woman chair in the department's two-century history. In 2013, she was appointed Deputy Provost for Humanities and Initiatives, a position she held until she assumed her current role in 2014. As FAS Dean, Gendler has focused on building excellence and collaboration within and across traditional disciplinary boundaries throughout the divisions in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and across the university more broadly. Gendler's academic research brings together the techniques of traditional Anglo-American philosophy with empirical work from psychology and other social sciences; her interests include the relation between imagination and belief, the contrast between rational and non-rational persuasion, and the role of habits in shaping behavior and judgment. Many of these issues are explored in her Open Yale course, Philosophy and the Science of Human Nature. She also has interests in education policy and practice, and worked for several years after she graduated from Yale as an education policy analyst at the RAND Corporation. Gendler is the author of Intuition, Imagination, and Philosophical Methodology (Oxford, 2013), Thought Experiments: On the Powers and Limits of Imaginary Cases (Routledge, 2000), and co-editor of The Elements of Philosophy (Oxford 2008), Perceptual Experience (Oxford, 2006), Conceivability and Possibility (Oxford 2002), and the Oxford Handbook of Philosophical Methodology (Oxford 2016). ---While her full catalog of articles and books is far too long to list here, the publications below provide a useful introduction to her scholarship addressing the topic of imagination: Gendler, T. S. (2014). Thought experiment: On the powers and limits of imaginary cases. Routledge. Gendler, T. S. (2000). The puzzle of imaginative resistance. The Journal of Philosophy, 97(2), 55-81.

For much of the technology industry, there is a certain suspicion of COP28. They believe “sustainability” evangelists get paid large government salaries to regulate solutions, without building or solving very much at all. The Bitcoin industry is furious that their movement has been maligned for using too much energy, while others cut down trees. A reductive ‘abundance vs. scarcity' debate has been visible online in the US and UK, in particular. But is it really this simple? The UAE is hosting COP28, and both sustainability and technology are clear and mutually reinforcing themes. This is visible in many areas of the UAE, one of which is the local campus of Heriot Watt University. We talked with Prof Tadhg O'Donovan, Deputy Provost and Head of the Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering (IMPEE) Research Institute, for insight into energy storage and reliability, solar power, thermal energy and some of the solutions that are already on the horizon.

Welcome to the Areni Global podcast. Today's episode “The Purpose of Education in a Changing World: In Conversation with Tamar Gendler” discusses education, and its future. Education is integral to the preservation and dissemination of fine wine. Host Pauline Vicard and Gendler explore the idea of education that transcends time and culture, defining education in a way that applies to ancient times, modern industrialized societies, and even pre-industrial, pre-technological societies. While the process and methods of education may change across these contexts due to differences in subject matter, social constraints, and evolving techniques, the fundamental "why" of education, which likely involves knowledge transfer and skill development, remains a consistent underlying principle. (Philosophical thinking caps are not optional in this episode!) More about today's guest Tamar Szabó Gendler: Tamar Szabó Gendler is Yale's Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences, the Vincent J.

Let’s talk about race…we have to.  We ALL have to.  Stories of racial inequality and systemic racism permeate the news headlines.  We can’t pretend that it doesn’t exist.  I have been so ignorant to this topic.  As a white woman, I didn’t know what white privilege was and that I have it.  I am honoured to talk about this important subject with two incredible women, Fern Johnson and Marlene Fine, who have written the book, Let’s Talk Race, a Guide for White People.  In their book, they talk about their journey to adopt children that lead them to adopt two black boys.  Both Fern and Marlene are accomplished professors, researchers and authors in the areas of communication, race, gender, cultural language diversity and multiculturalism. Because of their backgrounds, they thought they were up to the task of raising two African American boys, and although they were, there was still a lot they needed to learn. In this episode we talk about: How language communicates race and racism How we need to understand and learn black history and have empathy for black experiences. How to talk with your children about race and interracial adoption Fern and Marlene’s book, Let’s Talk Race – a Guide for White People is available anywhere books are sold. For a free copy of their guide, Tips for Communicating Race and Racial Identity, follow this link: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AqxowX5Jqw4HgdhRhzXLdENw2dcrDQ?e=mZGyYK   About Fern Johnson and Marlene Fine Fern L. Johnson is a native Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, which is a suburb of Minneapolis. She attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities for her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees and received a M.A. degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Throughout her teaching and research career, her interests have focused on the relationship of language and communication to society and culture, with emphasis on cultural and language diversity in the U.S. and how language channels and shapes our beliefs, values, and attitudes.  Johnson is the author of Speaking Culturally—Language Diversity in the United States (Sage) and Imaging in Advertising—Verbal and Visual Codes of Commerce (Routledge) plus numerous articles and book chapters. She and Marlene Fine co-authored The Interracial Adoption Adoption—Creating a Family Across Race (Jessica Kingsley), which grew out of their experience as white parents of adopted African American children. Prior to her Ph.D. work, Johnson taught at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. After the Ph.D., she moved to Massachusetts as a faculty member in the Communication department at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, where she also served as  Deputy Provost. After 13 years at UMass, she was appointed Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Following her years in administration at Clark, she was a full time professor of English and Director of the Interdisciplinary Communication and Culture Program. Johnson’s interest in how race, ethnicity, and gender impact communication reaches back to her undergraduate studies when she was first introduced to linguistic research on African American language structure and history. In graduate school, she deepened her knowledge of sociolinguistics and also became engaged in newly developing inquiry into how culture shapes language to conform to a male-female binary, and how that communication binary leads to judgments about language users. As the U.S. became increasingly diverse and languages other than English reshaped the national language landscape, Johnson’s work explored the implications of a multilingual society for education and public policy both in the U.S. and Europe. In addition to her teaching and research, Johnson has conducted seminars and workshops on issues related to race and to gender equity and interracial adoption. Johnson has received national recognition for her accomplishments through two major awards from the National Communication Association: The Robert J. Kibler Memorial Award for dedication to excellence, vision, and diversity, and the Women’s Caucus Francine Merritt Award for outstanding contributions to the lives of women in the Association and the communication discipline. Johnson resides west of Boston in Holliston, Massachusetts. She currently serves on the Advancement Council for the Greater Boston Food Bank and works as a volunteer in support of the food pantry in her community.   Marlene G. Fine, Ph.D. Marlene G. Fine grew up on the Jersey Shore and attended Asbury Park High School. She received her B.A. in Speech from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her M.A. in Speech Communication from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. After teaching for two years at Clarion State University in Pennsylvania, she returned to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for her Ph.D. She started a small communications consulting firm (with William Erklauer) while she was completing her doctorate and became interested in finance through her work with clients. She pursued her M.B.A. at the University of Massachusetts Amherst intending to change careers but was lured away from finance by an opportunity to become the Associate Dean of the College of Management at the University of Massachusetts Boston. She remained there for eleven years as a faculty member and serving as director of the MBA Program and then chair of the Marketing and Communications Department. Fine then went to Emerson College as the Dean of Graduate Studies. She spent the last fifteen years of her academic career at Simmons College as a Professor of Communications. Early in her time at Simmons, she served as Director of the Master’s in Communications Management program. Throughout her career, Fine’s research interests focused on issues of race and gender. Fine is the author of Building Successful Multicultural Organizations—Challenges and Opportunities (Quorum) and the co-author (with Fern L. Johnson) of The Interracial Adoption Option—Building a Family Across Race (Jessica Kingsley) and the forthcoming Let’s Talk Race—A Guide for White People (New Society). Fine and Johnson’s work on interracial adoption grew out of their experience as the white parents of adopted African American children. Her early research examined the use of Black English Vernacular on television. As she developed an interest in organizational communication, her later work focused on cultural diversity in organizations, women and leadership, and interracial adoption. Fine has led numerous seminars and workshops on cultural diversity and (with Fern L. Johnson) on interracial adoption. Fine has also been active in community volunteer work related to race. She was a facilitator with the YW Boston Dialogues on Race and Ethnicity for many years and worked with the Boston Busing Desegregation Project (sponsored by the Union of Minority Neighborhoods) on creating an oral history of what happened from 1974-1988 when Boston was forced to desegregate its public schools through court-ordered busing.   Fine lives in Holliston, Massachusetts, a suburb west of Boston, where she volunteers with her local food pantry. She also serves on the board of Hillel, an international organization for Jewish college students, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.   Thanks for listening!

The 88th Joint Session of the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association was held at the University of Cambridge from 11 to 13 July 2014. The Joint Session is a three-day conference in philosophy that is held annually during the summer by the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association. It has taken place at nearly every major university across the United Kingdom and in Ireland. Since 1910, the Joint Session has grown to become the largest gathering of philosophers in the country, attracting prestigious UK and international speakers working in a broad range of philosophical areas. Inaugurated by the incoming President of the Mind Association, the Joint Session includes symposia, open and postgraduate sessions, and a range of satellite conferences. This podcast is a recording of the fifth and final symposium at the Joint Session - "Self-Regulation" - which featured Tamar Szabó Gendler (Yale) and Jennifer Nagel (Toronto). Tamar Gendler is the Vincent J. Scully Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science, and Deputy Provost for Humanities and Initiatives at Yale University, where she has taught since 2006. Previously, she taught Philosophy and Cognitive Science at Cornell and Syracuse Universities, after earning her PhD at Harvard University in 1996. Much of her recent philosophical work has focused a cluster of issues surrounding the relations between explicit and implicit attitudes, particularly in the context of habit, self-regulation, and implicit bias; other current interests include general questions about philosophical methodology, and a number of specific issues that arise from thinking about the relation between imagination and belief. Her earlier philosophical work addressed various topics in metaphysics and epistemology including conceivability and possibility, perceptual experience, personal identity, and the methodology of thought experiment. A collection of some of her papers was published under the title Intuition, Imagination and Philosophical Methodology (Oxford, 2010). Jennifer Nagel is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Associate Chair at the University of Toronto, where she has worked since 2000. She was a Visiting Fellow at All Souls College Oxford in 2012, and at the Institute for Advanced Study in Jerusalem in 2011. Her recent work focuses on the relationship between intuitive knowledge attribution and knowledge itself; it aims to bridge the gap between empirical work on mental state attribution and theoretical work in epistemology.

In 1968, the cover of Time magazine asked if God was dead. Today, a growing number of Americans practice some form of spirituality, often linked to physical practices such as yoga and meditation. In psychology, too, spirituality and faith have become central areas of focus. How, precisely, does spirituality help people? What are its physical effects on the brain? And what does it mean to acknowledge spirituality in psychology research and practice? These and other questions will be debated by a distinguished panel that includes TC faculty members Lisa Miller, Associate Professor of Psychology and Education; Suniya S. Luthar, Professor of Psychology and Education; John Allegrante, Deputy Provost and Professor of Health Education; and clinicians Dale Atkins (M.S. '72) and Betsy Schur Levy (Ph.D. '89).

Moderated by John Allegrante, Professor of Health Education and Deputy Provost; featuring Thomas Chandler (PhD, ’09, MA, ’00), National Center for Disaster Preparedness, Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health; Christel Hyden (EdD '11), Assistant Professor, Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Annie Feighery (EdM ’09) Today’s communities are evolving from geographic to virtual. This session will explore the ways in which communities are adapting to an increasingly digital population. From web sites to Twitter, rural and urban populations alike now expect up-to-the-minute news and alerts. Technology is creating more demanding but better-informed, better-prepared and ultimately safer citizens.

Steven Girvin, Deputy Provost for Science and Technology and Eugene Higgins PRofessor of Physics and Applied Physics speaks about the benefits and pitfalls of interdisciplinary research and teaching.
