SUMMARY:Michael Taussig: "Mooning Texas"
DESCRIPTION:Michael Taussig\, Professor of Anthropology\, Columbia University\n“Mooning Texas” – an adventure story involving social energy + art + Emile Durkheim’s “take” on Mauss + Hubert’s “take” on mana + the creativity of gossip. \nMichael Taussig\, professor of anthropology at Columbia University\, was dubbed by the New York Times as “Anthropology’s Alternative Radical.” Taussig has been doing fieldwork since 1969. He has written on the commercialization of peasant agriculture; slavery; hunger; the working of commodity fetishism; colonialism on “shamanism” and folk healing; the relevance of modernism and post-modernist aesthetics for the understanding of ritual; the making\, talking\, and writing of terror; and mimesis. He has also written “a study of exciting substance loaded with seduction and evil\, gold and cocaine\, in a montage-ethnography of the Pacific Coast of Colombia.” \nIntroduced by Prof. Ian Condry\, Global Studies and Languages\, MIT.  \nPresented by the Dissolve Inequality series and the Latin American Studies Forum of MIT Global Studies and Languages.\ngsl-events@mit.edu • mitgsl.mit.edu

SUMMARY:Being Muslim in America (and MIT) in 2016
DESCRIPTION:Last December\, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump called for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States. In March\, he added that “I think Islam hates us.” Cambridge City Councilman Nadeem Mazen and Wise Systems co-founder Layla Shaikley–both MIT alumni–join engineering masters student Abubakar Abid to explore how this type of hateful\, discriminatory rhetoric influences public opinion\, discuss its impact on the daily lives of Muslim-Americans\, and examine strategies for combating it. \nNadeem Mazen is an MIT graduate\, Cambridge’s first Muslim city councilman and CEO of the Cambridge makerspace danger!awesome. \nLayle Shaikley is an MIT alum\, co-founder of Wise Systems and co-founder of TEDxBaghdad. With her viral video sensation “Muslim Hipsters: #mipsterz\,” she helped launch a national conversation about how Muslim women are represented. \nAbubakar Abid is a engineering masters student at MIT and a member of the Muslim Student Association. \nModerator: Seth Mnookin\, associate director of MIT’s Graduate Program in Science Writing and director of the MIT Communications Forum.
