You know when you get that unexpected text asking you to add something big to your already enormous to-do list, you start to feel sweaty palms and that empty, freaked-out sensation in your stomach? Then you know, its back again.. Anxiety. But what if anxiety isnt always a bad thing? What if, by using tools from neuroscience and psychology, you could learn to turn down the volume on your anxiety and transform all that activation energy thats making your mind race into something thats actually helpful? That jiu-jitsu move of transforming anxiety into something productive and helpful is the topic of Dr. Suzukis talk.

This panel confronts the question of whether the globally affluent have a moral obligation, either individually or collectively, to reduce their flying in view of the large carbon emissions associated with individual plane trips. We also raise the question of whether academic associations, universities, and departments ought morally to reduce the combined professional air travel currently entailed by their activities. The panelists will present diverse and sometimes conflicting perspectives on these questions and will raise related issues of accessibility, expense, and professional advancement.

October 27 – 29, 8 PM| , Meany Center

In this newest work by choreographer Abby Zbikowski, dancers of the New Utility dive head-on into the unknown, exploring complex movement that upends expectations. Radioactive Practice embodies the cultural collisions of contemporary living, testing the groups own mental and physical limits with a hard-wiring for survival. Using movement traditions inspired by street and postmodern dance, contemporary African forms, tap, martial arts and sports, Abby Z shatters established assumptions through an arsenal of physical possibility.

What did it mean to be a Jewish minority in an Arab-Islamic society? How did Judaism shape Islam and vice versa? What is the future of Jewish-Arab relations?

Today, Jews and Arabs sometimes seem to be entrenched in a timeless conflict. But for centuries, over 90% of the worlds Jews lived, worked, and thrived (or sometimes floundered) in the Arab

Near East.

In four talks from scholars drawing on their original research, this series will explore interactions between Jews and Arabs across fifteen hundred years of history.

  • October 26, 4 PM | Lecture 2. The Jews of Medieval Baghdad in the Abbasid Era
  • November 2, 3 PM | Lecture 3. Jews and Muslims in Colonial Algeria: Between Intimacy and Resentment
  • November 10, 3 PM | Coffeehouses, Parks, and Neighborhoods: Jews and Muslims
    in 20th-Century Cairo
