Asian American Studies Program Events
Thursday 4/8, 12:30 p.m., IMU Georgian Room Arc 2010! Panel for Part 3: "Cooperatively Building for the Future: Rethinking Paradigms"
John Bodnar (History, Institute for Advanced Study); Lillian Casillas (La Casa Latino Cultural Center); Hilary Kahn (Center for the Study of Globasl Change; Global Studies Minor)
Thursday 4/15, 3 p.m., IMU Georgian Room ARC 2010! Speaker for Part 3 Jack Tchen (NYU), "The Urgency of Knowing: building a Cross-Cultural Learning Commons"
Brief bio and description of talk provided below.
The Urgency of Knowing: Building a Cross-Cultural Learning Commons Jack (John Kuo Wei) Tchen
As the U.S. further “globalizes” and we respond to ever-diverse student populations, this nation’s research universities are clearly at a moment in need for more cross-cultural ways of knowing. This is a good time to ask some fundamental questions about our framings and practices. Reflecting on 30 years of work as a public and academic historian, “a curator of brainstorming,” and as a “re-organizer,” Jack Tchen will offer a vision of a cross-cultural learning commons and some thoughts on how we can collaboratively build such spaces at our research universities. The ideas are simple, but doing so does require some foundational reworking of how we do what we do. And this is the hard part. But it can be done and is already happening at our institutions, especially informally in the lives of our undergraduate and graduate students, and younger faculty. But do we recognize it? Do we value it?
Brief biographic profile:
Professor Tchen is the founding director of the A/P/A (Asian/Pacific /American) Studies Program and Institute at New York University and a co-founder of the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, NYU. He co-founded the Museum of Chinese in America in 1979-80 where he continues to serve as senior historian. Jack was awarded the Charles S. Frankel Prize from the National Endowment for the Humanities (renamed The National Medal of Humanities). He is author of the award-winning books New York before Chinatown: Orientalism and the Shaping of American Culture, 1776-1882 and Genthe’s Photographs of San Francisco’s Old Chinatown, 1895-1905. And he is co-principle investigator of “Asian Americas and Pacific Islanders Facts, Not Fiction: Setting the Record Straight” produced with The College Board.
Professor Tchen has been building research collections of Asians in the Americas. In doing so, he has critically examined practices of collections and archives to make sense of how we come to know what we know, and don’t know.
Professor Tchen is now working on a book about New York City – focusing on the unrecognized tradition of the intermingling of people, creativity and improvisation of everyday residents. He is also editing The ‘Yellow Peril’ Reader: Understanding Xenophobia. He regularly collaborates with filmmakers and media producers, artists and collectors, and through the A/P/A Institute sponsors and produces hundreds of programs and performances. Most recently, he co-curated MoCA’s core exhibition: “With a single step: stories in the making of America” in a new space designed by Maya Lin.

Neurons, Mechanism,and Freedom of the Will
"Neurons, Mechanism, and Freedom of the Will"
Adina Roskies, Dartmouth College
Friday, April 9, 2010
Ballantine Hall 003, 4-6 p.m.
IU Bloomington Campus
The public is invited.
What can neuroscience tell us about free will? Professor Roskies, who has pursued a career in both philosophy and neuroscience, will discuss the traditional problem of free will and the limitations of neuroscience in addressing it. She argues neuroscience can contribute positively to the discussion. She will discuss some neuroscientific data from monkeys that illuminates the neural basis of decision-making, and argue that this simple model can be generalized to a picture that can accommodate complex decisions made for reasons. This picture accords well with some compatibilist views on free will, and may provide the first steps of a synthetic approach to a theory of freedom.
This presentation is part of the History and Philosophy of Science Colloquium, as well as one of a series of lectures on "Neuroethics:
Ethical and Social Implications of Neuroscience." The lecture is funded by New Frontiers in Arts and Humanities grant from the IU Office of the Vice Provost for Research to explore the ethics issues raised by the new research in neuroscience. It is co-sponsored by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, the History and Philosophy of Science Department, and the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions.

What can neuroscience tell us about free will? Professor Roskies, who has pursued a career in both philosophy and neuroscience, will discuss the traditional problem of free will and the limitations of neuroscience in addressing it. She argues neuroscience can contribute positively to the discussion. She will discuss some neuroscientific data from monkeys that illuminates the neural basis of decision-making, and argue that this simple model can be generalized to a picture that can accommodate complex decisions made for reasons. This picture accords well with some compatibilist views on free will, and may provide the first steps of a synthetic approach to a theory of freedom.
This presentation is part of the History and Philosophy of Science Colloquium, as well as one of a series of lectures on "Neuroethics:
Ethical and Social Implications of Neuroscience." The lecture is funded by New Frontiers in Arts and Humanities grant from the IU Office of the Vice Provost for Research to explore the ethics issues raised by the new research in neuroscience. It is co-sponsored by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, the History and Philosophy of Science Department, and the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions.

Neurophysiology of Cognition Lecture on April 13
You are cordially invited to the following lecture.
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
9:30 a.m.
Lilly Auditorium, University Library
Christopher C. Lapish, Ph.D.
Brain Research Center
University of British Columbia
“The neurophysiology of cognition and cognitive deficits, what can we learn from targeting the dopamine system?”
Abstract:
Cognitive deficits are observed in numerous mental illnesses. In this talk, I explore the neurophysiology of cognition and how it is compromised in an animal model of drug abuse. I address this question by employing cutting-edge analysis techniques to multielectrode recordings in freely moving rodents. Moreover, I examine how the dopamine releasing psychostimulant, d-Amphetamine, modulates prefrontal cortex networks from a behavioral and electrophysiological perspective. I characterize how the transient formation of cell assemblies subserves cognition and how they are impaired by d-Amphetamine in the service of creating accessible metrics which characterize the addicted brain.
