Headlines show that public opinion about the science of climate change has shifted dramatically. Big business has asked for regulation and car makers advertise their own “environmentology.” Why has opinion shifted so quickly, and where might it end? Join a panel discussing the regulatory future in our state and the future of attitudes and actions regarding climate change. Let’s parse the many shades of “green.”

Tuesday, May 8th, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m., Pacific Science Center Conference Room

Adriana Petryna, Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, will present “Offshored Clinical Trials: Pharmaceutical Evidence-Making and Hidden Harms,” for a Critical Medical Humanities talk, sponsored the Simpson Center for the Humanities. Adriana Petryna’s ethnographic research explores science and medicine in Eastern Europe and in the United States. Her earlier work focused on the Chernobyl nuclear disaster which led her to an investigation of U.S.-based pharmaceutical research. She is interested in the ways that cultural values and political and economic practices affect scientific production, and the concomitant effect of this production on governance and citizenship claims. Her first book, Life Exposed: Biological Citizens after Chernobyl, is an ethnographic examination of the vexed scientific and political circumstances that followed the nuclear disaster in then Soviet Ukraine. Her current research focuses on commercialized clinical trials and their ethical and regulatory environments as they contribute to an expansion of human subjects’ involvement in research. She is co-editor, with Andrew Lakoff and Arthur Kleinman, of Global Pharmaceuticals: Ethics, Markets, Practices, and is completing an ethnography of the evolving clinical trials industry. This presentation is sponsored by the Simpson Center for the Humanities; it will be held at the UW Communications 120. http://depts.washington.edu/uwch/calendar.php

Friday, May 4, 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 5, 5:00 p.m.:

Dr. Grinker will also present at Elliott Bay Books on May 5 at 5:00 p.m.

Monday, May 7, 3:30 p.m.:
Albert Jonsen, UW Professor of Medicine and Ethics University of Washington, Seattle will present “The Wide, Wide World of Bioethics: Cultural Sensitivity and Ethical Relativism.” American bioethics has been excessively chauvinistic, concentrating on the ways in which medicine and science encounter value conflicts within our own culture. A global bioethics must encompass those other cultures where modern medical science meets very different moral norms and values. The problem of evaluating the ethics of research, sponsored and designed in Western countries and conducted in developing nations, is particularly acute. The debate over this problem has just begun. Turner Auditorium (D209),UW Health Sciences Center.

Wednesday, May 9, 3:30 p.m.:
Robert Jensen, Journalism, University of Texas - Austin, will present “The Academy and Activism: Neutralizing Neutrality and Moving Past Polemics.” Critics of the alleged left/liberal bias of universities often assert that faculty members inappropriately politicize the classroom. This has led some of these critics to advocate for codes and regulations that would monitor what faculty say to students. These concerns, whatever one thinks of them, are not going away anytime soon. What is the appropriate relationship of professors’ politics to their research and teaching? Can the conventions of neutrality be an obstacle to good teaching rather than an assurance of it? What about outside the classroom: should professors engage in public political activity? Are there substantive threats to higher education, and if so what are they? In this lecture and conversation, Robert Jensen will draw on examples from his own teaching and political life to highlight some of the crucial questions facing academics today. This presentation is sponsored by the Simpson Center for the Humanities; it will be held at the UW Communications building, Room 226.
