NANCY FRASER TO DELIVER PRESTIGIOUS LECTURES AT YALE AND CORNELL IN OCTOBER
Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor of Political and Social Science Nancy Fraser will deliver the Storrs Lectures at Yale Law School on Monday, October 5, and Tuesday, October 6. The Monday lecture is “Marketization, Social Protection, Emancipation: Toward a Neo-Polanyian Conception of Capitalist Crisis,” and the Tuesday lecture is “Predatory Protections, Tragic Tradeoffs, and Dangerous Liaisons: Dilemmas of Justice in the Context of Capitalist Crisis.” The Storrs Lectures, established in 1889, constitute one of Yale Law School’s oldest and most prestigious lecture programs. They are given annually by a prominent scholar who discusses fundamental problems of law and jurisprudence.
On October 27, 28, and 29, Fraser will deliver the Messenger Lecture at Cornell University on the same themes. The Messenger Lectures are arranged as a series of talks given by a leading scholar each semester. The mission of the lectures is “to provide a course of lectures on the evolution of civilization, for the special purpose of raising the moral standards of our political, business, and social life.”
Professor Fraser completed two books in 2008. The first, Scales of Justice: Reimagining Political Space in a Globalizing World, explores the challenges of theorizing about justice beyond specific, bordered locations. Through a revision and expansion on her previous work on redistribution and recognition she seeks border-crossing political spaces, publicity, and emancipatory projects that accommodate transnational solidarity. Her second book, Adding Insult to Injury: Debating Redistribution, Recognition, and Representation, is a series of essays beginning with Professor Fraser’s own influential essay “From Redistribution to Recognition?” Following the initial essay are responses from an impressive list of critical theorists. The book captures important conversations in the controversial effort to combine the social politics of equality with the cultural politics of difference.
Professor Fraser is the Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor of Philosophy and Politics at The New School for Social Research. She is also Blaise Pascal International Research Chair at École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris. Before joining The New School in l995, she taught at Northwestern University for 13 years. A former co-editor of Constellations: An International Journal of Critical and Democratic Theory, she has published extensively on political philosophy, social theory, Continental philosophy, and feminist theory.

Each semester, Scully teaches the credit-bearing course through a live broadband feed from C-SPAN's studios in Washington, DC, to University of Denver students sitting in the Cable Center's Distance Learning Studio. The program has been expanded to allow remote participation by students from George Mason, Northwestern, Pace, and Purdue Universities.

1989—2009: NEGOTIATING REVOLUTION & FURNISHING DEMOCRACY WITH ADAM MICHNIK
 |
| Adam Michnik |
Twenty years ago, the velvet revolutions of eastern and central Europe toppled the region’s communist governments. The revolutions startled the world with their lack of violence and demonstrated a new way to think about how fundamental political change occurs. Since The New School became intellectually engaged with members of the region’s democratic opposition well before 1989, it is fitting for the university to host a symposium on the political changes of the past two decades. Professors and students address the way these changes have affected civil society, social movements, democratic culture, migrations, and gender. This, in keeping with The New School for Social Research’s University-in-Exile tradition, reflects the university’s continued dedication to civic-minded intellectual engagement.
The symposium hosted by the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies (TCDS), will be held on Wednesday, October 14, from 6:00-8:00 p.m., celebrates a double legacy: that of the negotiated revolutions of 1989 and The New School’s remarkable relationship to them. Keynote speaker Adam Michnik, a major architect of the region’s transition and recipient of an honorary degree from The New School in 1984, will be joined by a panel of scholars and writers.
Participants include Ira Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History at Columbia University; Jonathan Schell, author of The Unconquerable World and The Unfinished Twentieth Century; Christopher Hitchens, contributor to The Nation and Vanity Fair; Andrew Arato, Dorothy Hart Hirshon Professor of Political and Social Theory at The New School for Social Research; Jeffrey Goldfarb, Michael E. Gellert Professor of Sociology at The New School for Social Research; Elzbieta Matynia director of the Transregional Center for Democratic Studies, associate professor of sociology and liberal studies at The New School for Social Research; and Ann Snitow, associate professor of literature and gender studies at Eugene Lang College and editor of The Feminist Memoir Project.
This free event will take place at Tishman Auditorium, Alvin Johnson/J. M. Kaplan Hall, 66 West 12th Street.

NEWS FROM MILANO THE NEW SCHOOL FOR MANAGEMENT AND URBAN POLICY
RACE AND THE SUBPRIME CRISIS: THE FUTURE OF MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS
Some critics blame the Community Reinvestment Act for the mortgage meltdown that prompted the current deep recession. Others point to the abuses of subprime lending and Wall Street manipulation. Yet questions about the impact of the economic collapse on African American communities—and about the future of neighborhood stability, consumer access to credit, and the role of race in public policy—remain unanswered. As the federal government acts to reverse the economy's decline, what have we learned, and what does the future hold?
These are some of the issues that will be covered in the Milano and the Center for New York City Affairs 2009 Nathan W. Levin Lecture on Monday, October 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
The featured keynote is Hon. Maxine Waters, U.S. Representative (D-Calif.). This will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Darrick Hamilton, assistant professor, Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy, and includes James Carr, COO, National Community Reinvestment Coalition; Sarah Ludwig, executive director, NEDAP; and Louis Prezeau, president & CEO, City National Bank.
This event is free but seating is limited, so reservations are required by calling 212.229.5418 or emailing centernyc@newschool.edu.
Established in 1989 in honor of the late Nathan Levin, a trustee and acting president of The New School, the Levin Lecture explores the issues of race, poverty, and public policy. This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.

THE “PRE-COLOMBIAN” ERA OF DRUG TRAFFICKING IN THE AMERICAS:
A TALK WITH PAUL GOOTENBERG

Presented by History at Eugene Lang College, the Committee on Historical Studies at The New School for Social Research, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The talktakes place at 80 Fifth Avenue, room 529. Admission is free.
