SUMMARY:Migration\, Citizenship\, and the U.S. Constitution
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Supreme Court narrowly upheld birthright citizenship in June 2026\, and the invocations of competing versions of U\,S\, history in the Trump v Barbara opinion sparked questions about the origins of that bedrock constitutional guarantee. What was citizenship like before the 14th Amendment for politically disfavored groups\, and why is the bedrock guarantee of birthright citizenship in the Constitution? Professor Anna Law\, a scholar of U.S. immigration and constitutional law and history\, is the author of Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship\, a timely new book that addresses these questions. Professor Prudence Cumberbatch\, chair of Africana Studies and a scholar of African American studies\, race\, and gender\, will offer comments.

SUMMARY:The Poetry of Picture Books: Matthew Burgess and Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Lyricism\, rhythm\, concision\, musicality… The qualities we often associate with poetry are equally important in a picture book text\, and both are best experienced when read aloud.

For this event\, join Matthew Burgess and Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie—both poets\, professors\, and picture book authors—for a lively discussion and reading of their recent titles\, Fireworks and We Go Slow\, respectively. A Q&A will follow.

SUMMARY:Buddhist Self-Knowledge Practices: The Sheila and Wilbur Liebson Ethics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, viewing Buddhism from a self-knowledge standpoint\, Professor of Philosophy Christopher W. Gowans (Fordham University) will examine a variety of Buddhist practices—ethical\, philosophical\, and meditative—as these practices have been understood in the traditional “path” approaches (Buddhist practice as a path from suffering to an enlightened life of tranquility and compassion) and the rather different “exploration” approach that emerges in Chan and Zen Buddhism (Buddhist practice as expressing and exploring what it means not to be a self). Among Gowan’s publications is Self-Cultivation Philosophies in Ancient India\, Greece\, and China (Oxford University Press\, 2021).

SUMMARY:Lottocracy: Democracy Without Election
DESCRIPTION:Alex Guerrero\, Rutgers University\, presents the Department of Philosophy’s Annual Sprague & Taylor Guest Lecture. \nDemocracy is in trouble. What is going wrong? What should we do? In this talk\, Alex Guerrero argues that\, perhaps surprisingly\, the problem is with the heart of modern democracy: the election. Elections are failing as accountability mechanisms. Elections provide powerful short-term incentives\, leading elected politicians to downplay long-term catastrophic concerns. Elections create division where none need exist. The most powerful among us take advantage of this to control who is elected\, what policies are enacted\, and which problems are ignored. What should we do? Guerrero suggests that we should move past the fatalist\, Churchillian shrug (“the worst system\, except for all the others that have been tried”) and try a new form of democracy: lottocracy. Lottocratic systems include many new elements\, but the most striking is the shift from using elected representatives to using representatives selected through lottery. The talk presents and defends lottocracy as an alternative political system worth taking seriously.
