SUMMARY:#50isEnough:  Israeli Civil Society Confronts the Occupation - Talk by Daniel Sokatch
DESCRIPTION:#50isEnough:  Israeli Civil Society Confronts the Occupation \nThe Occupation is now 50 years old and the current political leadership in Israel seems intent on silencing Israelis who want to see it end. Indeed\, the debate over the Occupation – and the damage it is doing to both Palestinian society and Israeli democracy – has been removed from the center of public discourse in Israel.  But no problem that is swept under the rug will ever be solved\, and Israeli activists are pushing back. We will examine the roots of the conflict and of the Occupation\, discuss the impact it has had on both Palestinians and Israelis\, and survey some of the strategies Israeli civil society organizations are implementing to challenge the status quo during these challenging times. \n  \n \nDaniel J. Sokatch is the Chief Executive Officer of the New Israel Fund (NIF)\, the leading organization committed to equality and democracy for all Israelis. Before joining NIF\, Sokatch served as the Executive Director of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco\, the Peninsula\, Marin and Sonoma Counties. Prior to his tenure at Federation\, he served as the founding Executive Director of the California-based Progressive Jewish Alliance (now known as Bend the Arc). \nIn recognition of his leadership\, Sokatch has been named to the Forward newspaper’s “Forward 50\,” an annual list of the fifty leading Jewish decision-makers and opinion-shapers\, in 2002\, 2005 and 2008 and 2010.Daniel has an MA from the Fletcher School at Tufts University\, a JD from Boston College Law School\, and a BA from Brandeis University. He is married with two daughters and resides in San Francisco. \n  \n

SUMMARY:'A Product of the Slums': The Degenerate Body in Liam O'Flaherty's The Informer-  Talk by Laura Lovejoy
DESCRIPTION:“Concepts of degeneration came to constitute one of the foremost expressions of state power as Ireland transitioned to a fully independent state with its own constitution between 1922 and 1937. During the Free State period\, the framework of degeneration was profoundly manifest in the state’s framing and treatment of issues of moral and social hygiene\, and a social preoccupation with the degeneration of Irish culture came to constitute a key aspect of the specific form biopower took in the Irish postcolonial state. In particular\, discourses emerged which centred on the human body as a focal point of national degeneration. This talk considers how Liam O’Flaherty’s novel The Informer (1925)\, a thriller set in the slums of post-revolutionary Dublin\, depicts the Irish body in decline. Situating O’Flaherty’s portrayals of the pathological male and female body in the context of Free State fears of moral\, cultural\, and biological degeneracy\, the talk considers how O’Flaherty’s naturalistic reflection of degenerationist cultural anxieties may distinguish him from modernist contemporaries and successors.” \nAll Welcome! \n
