SUMMARY:New Books by BC Faculty Series: The Fruitfulness of Normative Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Join Associate Professor of Philosophy Professor Matthew Lindauer for a conversation on his important recent book\, The Fruitfulness of Normative Concepts. Can philosophical concepts do real work in improving our world? Should we\, when evaluating competing understandings of concepts like “justice” and “solidarity\,” take into account whether these different understandings can help us to fight injustice and promote solidarity between people? In The Fruitfulness of Normative Concepts\, Lindauer argues that the answer to both questions is an emphatic “yes.” In doing so\, it provides a bold new defense of a tight relationship between theory and practice. Drawing on cutting-edge scientific research\, the book also demonstrates that we now have the tools to evaluate the practical value of normative concepts.

SUMMARY:New Books by BC Faculty Series: Budget Justice: On Building Grassroots Politics and Solidarities
DESCRIPTION:Join Gabe Dunn\, bestselling author\, actor\, and filmmaker\, and host of the podcast “Bad With Money\,” and Professor Celina Su\, Department of Political Science\, for a conversation on racial capitalism\, coalition building\, and her book recent book\, Budget Justice. \nDrawing on her years of engagement with democratic governance in New York City and around the globe\, Su proposes in her book a new kind of democracy\, in which city residents make collective decisions about public needs through processes like participatory budgeting\, and in which they work across racial divides and segregated spaces as neighbors rather than as consumers or members of voting blocs. Essential reading to empower citizens\, Budget Justice explains why public budgets reflect a crisis not so much in accounting as in democracy\, and enables everyone\, especially those from historically marginalized communities\, to imagine and enact people’s budgets and policies—from universal preschool to affordable housing—that will enable their communities to thrive. \nRegister for the Zoom meeting

SUMMARY:New Books by BC Faculty Series: Art as Cognition: How Gist Reframes the Aesthetic Experience as Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join Associate Professor of Philosophy Dena Shottenkirk and Assistant Professor Nicholas Whittaker (Wesleyan University) as they discuss Shottenkirk’s Art as Cognition. The book argues that a satisfactory account of the aesthetic experience would be derived from the perceptual experiences of both artist and viewer. It examines recent findings in visual science that emphasize low-level features\, such as texture\, illumination\, color\, shape\, movement\, etc.\, within the framework of gist perception. Lastly\, the book concludes with a description of how the perceptual and cognitive processes of artist and viewer interact with curatorial/critical testimony to construct the artwork’s meaning. \nDena Shottenkirk writes in the field of epistemology and aesthetics\, emphasizing the intersection of the two. She’s the author of Nominalism and Its Aftermath: The Philosophy of Nelson Goodman and Cover Up the Dirty Parts\, and co-editor of Perception\, Cognition\, and Aesthetics. \nNicholas Whittaker earned a Ph.D. at the CUNY Graduate Center and a B.A. at Harvard University. Whittaker’s work focuses on the nature of race and on the role of aesthetics in political\, spiritual\, and analytic philosophical traditions. \nRegister for the Zoom meeting

SUMMARY:New Books by BC Faculty Series: Labor Evangelicals: Faith\, Authority\, and Resistance at Work
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Associate Professor of Political Science Ken Estey\, author of Labor Evangelicals\,  and Professor of Sociology Timothy Shortell. \nEstey’s recent book studies theologically conservative working-class evangelicals in the United States who resist the common preconception that they eagerly embrace deregulation\, unfettered markets\, and globalized capital. This book studies evangelical workers at the grassroots level to discern the complexity of their perspectives about work\, unions\, class\, and power. It shows how White and African American evangelicals think about labor in working-class communities in Bethlehem\, Pennsylvania\, and Moncure\, North Carolina. \nKen Estey\, director of the Studies in Religion Program\, centers his research on the intersection of politics and religion with a particular focus on labor and Christianity. He is also the author of A New Protestant Labor Ethic at Work. \nTimothy Shortell\, professor of data analysis and visualization at the CUNY Graduate Center\, is a computational social psychologist who studies identity and belonging using large corpus quantitative methods. His current research focuses on U.S. evangelicals and the emergence of Christian nationalism. \nFood and refreshments will be served. \nLibrary Guide with free electronic access to the book: is available here.

SUMMARY:Stories on Disability Through Our Voices: Born This Way—A Conversation Between Author Yoon Joo Lee and Professor David J. Connor
DESCRIPTION:This event celebrates the publication of Stories on Disability Through Our Voices: Born This Way (Routledge\, 2025)\, the first solo book by Yoon Joo Lee\, associate professor of childhood\, bilingual\, and special education. Lee will be joined by Professor Emeritus David J. Connor\, Hunter College (CUNY). The book explores the lived experiences of Korean and Korean American women with visible disabilities in South Korea and the United States. Drawing upon the work of scholars in disability studies in education and feminist disability studies\, it challenges readers to (re)consider their own misconceptions and assumptions about disability and reconceptualize their understanding of diversity. Lee’s work is distinguished by her ability to connect personally with the women she interviews\, sharing unique yet overlapping experiences as a woman with visible disabilities. Part of the Routledge Book Series Autocritical Disability Studies\, the book uses autoethnography to center the researcher’s personal experiences throughout the process. Lee and Connor will engage in a conversation around values of foregrounding voices of individuals with disabilities in various forms of research.

SUMMARY:King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Life of Struggle Outside the South—A Conversation With Author Jeanne Theoharis and Researchers David Rondeau\, Tyra Smart\, and Gabrielle White
DESCRIPTION:The Martin Luther King Jr. of popular memory vanquished Jim Crow in the South. But in this myth-shattering book\, Jeanne Theoharis argues that King’s time in Boston\, New York\, Los Angeles\, and Chicago was at the heart of his campaign for racial justice. King of the North follows the Kings as they come of age in school in the North and as he crisscrosses the country from the Northeast to the West Coast\, challenging school segregation\, police brutality\, housing segregation\, and job discrimination. For these efforts\, he was relentlessly attacked by white liberals\, the federal government\, and the national media. \nJoin us on for a conversation on King of the North—particularly focused on how the nation’s flagship print media covered King’s work outside the South—with Jeanne Theoharis and three of her research assistants for the book\, Brooklyn College graduates David Rondeau\, Tyra Smart\, and Gabrielle White\, who helped her document this media story.

SUMMARY:The Cult of CrossFit: Christianity and the American Fitness Phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of Professor of Anthropology Katie Rose Hejtmanek’s The Cult of CrossFit. She will be joined in conversation by Lauren Mancia\, professor of history at Brooklyn College and professor of medieval studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. \nWe all have that one friend who’s a little too into CrossFit. They talk about it all the time\, and the way they describe it\, you’d think they were describing a cult. Hejtmanek’s research spans the United States and six continents to understand what makes certain people feel so devoted to CrossFit. Despite presenting itself as a secular space\, Hejtmanek argues that CrossFit is deeply intertwined with American Christian values. She makes the case that the Christianity that shapes CrossFit is the same kind of Christianity that shapes much of America\, usually in ways we do not even notice. \nRegister Now \n
