SOCIOLOGY COLLOQUIUM SERIES
OCTOBER 24, 2012
1:30-3:00pm
Sociology Conference Room
EMERITUS PROFESSOR LYDIA ROSNER ON HER LATEST BOOK:
The Russian Writer’s Daughter (Mayapple Press 2011)
At the center of these memories is Lyduce’s father, whose complex personality mixes a passion for social justice, the desire to protect his family, and intellectual snobbery. In this revelatory memoir, international politics shadow a child’s gradual awakening to the world around her. As she tells her family’s story, Rosner shows how complicated autobiography can be, more a matter of pursuing the truth than of asserting it.
PROFESSOR MUCAHIT BILICI ON HIS UPCOMING BOOK:
Finding Mecca in America: How Islam is Becoming an American Religion (University of Chicago Press, 2012)
In this book, Mucahit Bilici traces American Muslims’ progress from outsiders to natives and from immigrants to citizens. Drawing on the philosophies of Simmel and Heidegger, Bilici develops a novel sociological approach and offers insights into the civil rights activities of Muslim Americans, their increasing efforts at interfaith dialogue, and the recent phenomenon of Muslim ethnic comedy. Theoretically sophisticated, Finding Mecca in America is both a portrait of American Islam and a groundbreaking study of what it means to feel at home.

CUNY Graduate Center Sociology Seminar Series in Crime, Law, and Deviance:
CHRISTIAN PARENTI
6pm-8pm
CUNY Graduate Center
365 5th Avenue
Room 6112.04
From Africa to Asia and Latin America, the era of climate wars has begun. Extreme weather is breeding banditry, humanitarian crisis, and state failure.In Tropic of Chaos, investigative journalist Christian Parenti travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophe--the belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations and war zones girding the planet's midlatitudes. Here he finds failed states amid climatic disasters. But he also reveals the unsettling presence of Western military forces and explains how they see an opportunity in the crisis to prepare for open-ended global counterinsurgency.
Parenti argues that this incipient "climate fascism"--a political hardening of wealthy states-- is bound to fail. The struggling states of the developing world cannot be allowed to collapse, as they will take other nations down as well. Instead, we must work to meet the challenge of climate-driven violence with a very different set of sustainable economic and development policies.
Christian Parenti is the author of "Tropic of Chaos", "The Freedom", "The Soft Cage", and "Lockdown America."

COLLOQUIUM:
“Religion and Sexual Behaviors: Understanding the Influence of Islamic Cultures and Religious Affiliation for Explaining Sex Outside of Marriage”
Presented by Amy Adamczyk and Brittany Hayes
Wednesday, November 7
1:30 pm
Sociology Conference Room
Amy Adamczyk and Brittany Hayes will discuss their recently published research which analyzed data on pre-marital and extra-marital sexual behaviors in over 30 countries around the world. Their data includes countries that are predominantly Muslim as well as countries that contain religious variation, allowing them to discern whether differences in sexual behavior are based on either religious or national-legal contexts, or both.

On the Edge: Transgression and the Dangerous Other
This two day interdisciplinary conference will celebrate intellectual and artistic transgression that will focus on a concept of a new criminology for the 21st Century which can grasp the phenomenology of everyday life, its experience of joy, humiliation, anger and desperation, the seductions of transgression and the appeal of the vindictive, the myriad forms of resistance and the repressive nature of acquiescence. The conference will bring together national and international scholars, students and artists from a variety of disciplines.
• NYC-DR Monthly Roundtable Breakfast held since 9/11 on the first Thursday of the month featured speakers on selected topics.
