The Ethics of Biomedical Enhancement :: An Online Course

5 - 7 pm

Cost: Free!
Course description:

Recent advances in biomedical knowledge and innovation- such as sequencing of the human genome, gene therapy and genome editing, the biology of aging, behavioral genetics, etc.- raise the prospect that science could be utilized to 카지노 게임 컬렉션enhance카지노 게임 컬렉션 our biology rather than simply search for treatments for specific diseases. In his book Beyond Humanity? (Oxford 카지노게임사이트 Press, 2011) the philosopher Allen Buchanan defines biomedical enhancement as 카지노 게임 컬렉션a deliberate intervention, applying biomedical science, which aims to improve an existing capacity that most or all normal human beings typically have, or to create a new capacity, by acting directly on the body or brain카지노 게임 컬렉션. This course will introduce students to both the science and ethics of biomedical enhancement, covering a range of topics like eugenics, genetics, the therapy/enhancement distinction, procreative liberty, aging, and memory modification.

Navigating New Realities in a Changing Global Landscape

The turn of the century brought on a wave of new and complex problems that the international community must face. From advancements in technology that have moulded and reshaped domestic political spheres; to leaps in communication that have enabled the rise of powerful non-state actors; to the digitalization of the finance world and the introduction of crypto currencies, we have seen change across virtually every channel of interaction.

Being able to understand these changes and conduct meaningful research to uncover their impacts are essential to a peaceful and cooperative future.

카지노 게임 컬렉션New Realities카지노 게임 컬렉션 can be considered through many lenses. Understanding the effect evolving social change can have on national or international organizations is bound to change the way the organization operates. The international implications of the ongoing War in Ukraine, or the Israel-Hamas War, have the power to reshape and restructure the security situations in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The rise in domestic right-wing support in many regions of the world, or the risks following the possible re-election of Donald Trump, could have the power to challenge many government카지노 게임 컬렉션s operational and fiscal 카지노 게임 컬렉션status-quos카지노 게임 컬렉션. And an increase in uprisings and coups, more specifically in the West African region, have regressed democracy to a point that concerns regional security and opens the door to global humanitarian crises.

These are all situations and dimensions of the global landscape that are undergoing change, and therefore creating a new reality the international community must confront.

We are inviting submissions from graduate students on topics that address the complexities of the 카지노 게임 컬렉션new reality카지노 게임 컬렉션 the world is beginning to navigate. The conference will be in a hybrid format. Participants can either join in-person at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 or online via Zoom. The keynote speaker has not yet been determined.

Some Proposed Themes / Subtopics:

  • International Security and the Impact of Conflicts Around the Globe
  • Threats and Challenges Concerning Human Rights & the Environment
  • International Concerns Through a Gendered Lens
  • Regional Regressions of Democracy and Their Impacts on the World
  • Emerging Technologies and the Risks They Pose for Global Governance
  • The Growing Threat and Influence of Social Media and Digital Currencies
  • Major Changes to Electoral Systems, or Election Results, and Their Impacts on the World

"Bridging the Gap - Israel-Palestine Student Discussion

Thursday, April 11, 2024

7:00-9:00 PM  

Robert Sutherland Hall, Room 202


About the event:

We are a group of York 카지노게임사이트 students and alumni, both Palestinian/Arab and Israeli/Jewish, who want to change the way that the conversation about Israel/Palestine is happening at York 카지노게임사이트. We believe that, as fellow students who have a connection to this land, we all deserve human dignity and an honest conversation. We have established an Israel/Palestine student dialogue group on our campus for the purpose of sharing multiple perspectives in a respectful manner.

We are happy to share with the Queen's community the important dialogue work we are doing. York 카지노게임사이트 Professor Randal Schnoor will moderate a public panel discussion with student leaders of York 카지노게임사이트's BRIDGING THE GAP to explore student motivations for starting this dialogue group, views on the current campus climate, challenges, and opportunities for dialogue. Question and discussion period with the audience will follow.

About Dr. Schnoor: 

Dr. Randal Schnoor, a sociologist, specializes in the study of contemporary Jewish Life in North America. For the last three years he has been teaching a course at York 카지노게임사이트 entitled "Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Canada."

See: )

In this course he succeeds in fostering a healthy environment for honest and respectful discussion between Jews and Muslims. Upon the Hamas attack on Israel of October 7/23 and the subsequent heavy Israeli military response, he was motivated to revitalize the BRIDGING THE GAP Israel/Palestine student dialogue group at York which had laid dormant since the onset of the COVID pandemic. The dialogue group is now thriving where Dr. Schnoor works closely with an executive of eight students (Jewish/Israeli/Palestinian/Arab) to design programming and establish safe spaces for genuine dialogue on the York campus.

Abstract:

In 2017 in Charlottesville, antisemitism and anti-Black racism converged as white supremacists, in a highly choreographed and violent protest against the removal of a statue honoring a Confederate general, carried Confederate flags and chanted 카지노 게임 컬렉션Jews will not replace us.카지노 게임 컬렉션 This convergence is not just a product of American history, its roots go far deeper.  In this talk, Magda Teter, the author of Christian Supremacy: Reckoning with the Roots of Antisemitism and Racism, will explore the interplay between Christian theology and law to demonstrate how the theological framework of Christian supersessionism articulated in antiquity and its subsequent application in law led to the creation of social hierarchies, legal exclusion of and a denial of equality to Jews and Black people also in modern times.
