Seminars & Workshops

ISPS Supported Seminars for 2009-2010:

Interdisciplinary seminars have been an important component of ISPS’s programmatic activity throughout its history. These seminars generally involve several faculty members and a large number of graduate and professional students from a variety of disciplines, departments, and schools and the format depends upon the interests of its members. Seminars typically involve visiting speakers, discussion of published and unpublished papers, and presentation of seminar participants’ own work. Attendance at some seminars requires advance notice, and some distribute papers in advance. Seminars are free and open to interested members of the Yale community.

American Politics and Public Policy Workshop

Wednesdays, 12:00-1:15 pm, 77 Prospect St., Room A002

Sponsored by the Institution for Social and Policy Studies, each seminar features a presentation of current political science research by leading scholars in the field, including distinguished faculty from other institutions, research fellows of the CSAP, and Ph.D. candidates at Yale.

Political Theory Workshop

Wednesdays, 4:15-6:00 pm, 115 Prospect St. (Rosenkranz Hall), Room 202

The Political Theory Workshop provides an informal, interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of work in progress. The workshop features papers by Yale faculty members, visiting scholars, and graduate students in the fields of political philosophy, social theory, ethics, intellectual history, and related disciplines. Papers are distributed in advance when available and participants come prepared to discuss them in detail.

Bioethics Workshop

Wednesdays, 12:00-1:30 pm, 77 Prospect St., Room D130

The Bioethics Workshop provides a place for Yale faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and community members to engage in interdisciplinary bioethical discussion. A faculty member begins the session with an overview of a bioethical issue; in some cases, the presentation centers on “work in progress.” The discussion is then opened up to questions and comments from attendees. This program aims to expose faculty members to different disciplines’ ways of viewing bioethical issues while broadening awareness of the rich and diverse resources available at Yale. Faculty, students, and community members are welcome!

Agrarian Studies Colloquium Series

Fridays, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm, 77 Prospect St., Room B012

The core of the Agrarian Studies Program’s activities is a weekly colloquium organized around an annual theme. Invited specialists send papers in advance that are the focus of an organized discussion by the faculty and graduate students associated with the colloquium. “Hinterlands, Frontiers, Cities, and States: Transactions and Identities” is the theme for the next year.

Antisemitism in Comparative Perspective

Thursdays, 4:15-5:45 pm, 77 Prospect St., Room A001 OR Linsly-Chittenden Hall, 63 High St., Room 101 OR 102

This seminar series aims to explore the subject of Anti-Judaism, or Antisemitism, in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework from an array of approaches and perspectives as well as regional contexts. Eminent scholars and researchers are invited to present seminar papers in an informal setting. To enhance the level of discussion, papers will be made available online one week prior to the seminar.

Economic History Workshop

Mondays, 2:30 pm, 28 Hillhouse Ave., Room B1

The weekly workshop in economic history is a central part of the program. Speakers include Yale faculty and graduate students as well as distinguished scholars from other institutions.
