Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

Even people who think there should be limits on the idea that “the personal is political” must see a role for public policy to reduce “intimate partner violence.”<\/strong>\u00a0The November murder of Aisha Fraser by her ex-husband, former judge Lance Mason, who had already served nine months in prison for a previous assault on her, provoked horror, sorrow and, now, a proposed “Aisha’s Law” to better protect victims.<\/p>\n

Yet this cannot be only a policing problem. The challenges begin with the broader vulnerability of victims \u2013 often women who rely, economically or psychologically, on something they get from their partners. But the other side is equally difficult: policies to reduce domestic violence must change the processes that lead men (mainly) to attack their partners.<\/p>\n

Laura Voith’s research shows that there is a victimization cycle, in which exposure to violence at home and in the community while young makes men more likely to be violent as adults. One implication is that interventions that focus on individual perpetrators or potential perpetrators might be too late or too narrow. But knowing what might be necessary does not tell us how to do it.\u00a0Join us as Professor Voith considers what her and other research tells us about the prospects for policies that could reduce the horrific toll of domestic violence.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

About Our Guest<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Laura Voith,<\/strong>\u00a0an Assistant Professor, has worked over the last decade to address violence against girls and women through counseling, agency- and community-based coordination efforts, and research.<\/p>\n

Her research focuses on the prevention and intervention of violence against girls and women by working with boys and men to uncover the etiology of violence using trauma-focused and health disparities lenses. Her research shows that exposure to adversity and violence in family- and community-settings in childhood and adolescence are significant factors that, if gone unaddressed, can lead men to perpetrate violence in adulthood. Dr. Voith\u2019s research aims to inform the development and evaluation of violence prevention programs with at-risk youth, and improve batterer intervention programming with men.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where We Meet<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Friday Public Affairs Lunch convenes each Friday when classes are in session, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Our programs are open to all and no registration is required. We usually meet in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

* Kelvin Smith Library requires all entrants to show identification when entering the building, unless they have a university i.d. that they can magnetically scan. We are sorry if that seems like a hassle, but it has been Library policy for a while in response to security concerns. Please do not complain to the library staff at the entrance, who are just doing their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parking Possibilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. You can get from the Severance garage to the library without going outside. Near the entry gates – just to the right if you were driving out – there is a door into a corridor. Walk down the corridor and there will be another door. Beyond that door you’ll find the entrance to an elevator which goes up to an entrance right inside the doors to Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Climate Change the End? And if so, the End of What?<\/span><\/p>\n

A discussion with Naomi Oreskes, Ph.D., Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University, Friday March 22, 2019, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m., Tinkham Veale University Center Ballroom A, 10038 Bellflower Road, Cleveland, OH 44106. This program is sponsored by the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities. Free and open to the public.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Click here to register for this event<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Years ago, Bill McKibben suggested that climate change would be the end of nature. More recently, Elizabeth Kolbert has argued that the Sixth Extinction means the end of nature as we know it. Yet other scholars have argued that the term \u201cnature\u201d is not helpful\u2014humans have always been modifying the world in which we live. And in\u00a0The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future<\/em>, Erik Conway and Naomi Oreskes argue that liberal democracy is at stake as well. In her talk, Naomi Oreskes, Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University, explores these issues, and suggest that however we look at it, unless we rapidly address climate change, we will be living in a world that is deeply impoverished, biologically, materially, and politically.<\/p>\n

Naomi Oreskes is Professor of the History of Science and Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. A world-renowned geologist, historian and public speaker, she is a leading voice on the role of science in society and the reality of anthropogenic climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
