John Haldon, Princeton University: History, Remote Sensing, and GIS - The Avkat Survey Project
This talk introduces briefly the Avkat Archaeological Survey, a collaborative research project in north-central Anatolia which seeks to integrate a number of different approaches to studying the past, using recent technological advances to integrate disparate datasets into a cohesive framework of analysis. From the 1980s, there has been continued development of methodologies of archaeological field survey, as well as remote sensing techniques ranging from ground-penetrating radar to airborne rad

Brian Kernighan: Millions, Billions, Zillions -- (In)numeracy Still Matters - February 3, 2010
Lunch 'n Learn presentation: As calculators and computers have become steadily more powerful, they have buried us in an avalanche of numbers and graphs and charts, many of which claim to present the truth about important issues. But at the same time, our personal facility with numbers has diminished, often leaving us at the mercy of quantitative reasoning and presentation that is sometimes wrong and often not disinterested.
For the past ten years, Dr. Kernighan has been teaching a course that s

Soft-core East Asia: Differentiated Cooperation in an Amorphous Region
Soft-core East Asia: Differentiated Cooperation in an Amorphous Region Professor Douglas Webber, Professor of Political Science at INSEAD and visiting International Fellow at the Monash European and EU Centre Scholars of East Asian international relations diverge over how politically integrated the region is; whether it is becoming politically more integrated, and to what extent the degree of political integration matters for regional peace and stability. The argument of this paper is that East

Cultural Terrorism: The War Against Women in South Africa and the Law's Limitations Presented by: Professor Penelope Andrews School of Law, LaTrobe University The alarming statistics of violence against women in South Africa today have resulted in many women advocates referring to the situation in the country as "a war against women" or "a state of terrorism". My paper will examine the context of the violence, its persistence, levels and forms, and its ubiquity, to evaluate how a society with co
India and China: Can two tigers share a mountain?
To outsiders, India and China show some striking similarities. Both are ancient civilizations reincarnated as modern republics in the mid twentieth century, and are now rising powers. Both have nuclear weapons, burgeoning economies, expanding military budgets and large reservoirs of manpower, and seem to be vying for influence in the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, Africa, Central Asia and East Asia. Yet little attention is paid to the relationships between them. (From India and China: Conflict
