Building a Sustainable Future - The Role of Risk Science
Maynard, Andrew - University of Michigan
2010-11-17 15:40:00-05:00
Ann Arbor, MI - University of Michigan - School of Public Health 1755
Duration: 00:57:31

By 2050, over nine billion people will be placing unprecedented demands on the earth’s resources – a demand that will only be met through developing and using new technologies. But in today’s complex and interconnected world, the safety and success of technology-based solutions is by no means assured. As we strive to build a sustainable future, we need to think differently about how rapid social and technological change are leading to new risk-challenges, and how they are best addressed. In effect, we need a new risk science for a new century. Professor Maynard talks about the new challenges of enabling sustainable development in a complex, interconnected and risky world.

Professor Maynard is a leading authority on the responsible development and use of emerging technologies. His research interests span identifying, assessing and managing emergent risks, to exploring innovative solutions to established and emerging human health and environmental risks, to equipping people with the tools they need to make informed decisions in the face of risk and uncertainty. Professor Maynard is a member of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on the Challenges of Emerging Technologies, serves on numerous review and advisory panels around the world, and has testified on a number of occasions before U.S. Congressional committees. He appears frequently in print and on television and radio, and writes regularly on science and society at http://2020science.org/

Animals, Mothers, and Medieval France
McCracken, Peggy - University of Michigan
2010-11-16 12:13:01-05:00
Ann Arbor, MI - University of Michigan - Room 2022, 202 S. Thayer St.
Duration: 01:08:36

In medieval France, as in medieval Europe more generally, writers maintain a rigid boundary between the animal and the human even as they constantly interrogate it. Stories about werewolves and other animal-human transformations are recounted as natural wonders, demonic manipulations, or as literary inventions, and scholars have used such representations to think about medieval understandings of embodiment, of change, and of what constitutes the human. Such scholarly investigations rarely consider gender alongside animality and humanity. The legends associated with the ancestry of Godefroi de Bouillon, participant in the First Crusade and first western ruler of Jerusalem, invite an exploration of animality and maternity, and suggest a negotiation of the value of gendered animality in the narrative of Christian heroism.

Peggy McCracken is Professor of French and Women's Studies and Associate Dean for Academic Initiatives, Rackham Graduate School. Her teaching and research interests are, broadly defined, in the intersections of medieval literature, history, and theory. Her research focuses on romance narratives as well as on medieval theatre, poetry, chansons de geste, and medical and theological discourses.
