Submitted by siteadmin on Sun, 01/01/2023 - 12:52

Orientalism has been rightly held accountable for complicity with colonialism, empire, prejudice, and racism. The wave of critique that was launched against it over the last half century did nothing but insulate it, if not strengthen it, through vaccination and mutation. Held as a part of the Dean’s Foresight Talks series, the lecture will explore the significance of this phenomenon to many academic disciplines and how remolded Orientalism must lead the way in redefining the modern and freeing it from its malevolent tendencies.

Toward an Open Science and Society: Multiplex Relations in Language, Religion and Society

Submitted by Umar Farooq Patel on Sat, 09/10/2022 - 14:30
In this paper I introduce a new concept, "open science," to denote a pluralist and democratic science culture. I aim that an open society requires, on both the local and the global levels, an open science. For science culture plays a significant role in shaping the political cultures which have a direct impact on social relations and human rights. I call for reform of our exclusionist science culture with the aim of better understanding the world, and, at the same time, of promoting a more democratic attitude towards alternative explanations and interpretations.

It attempts to teach the reader not only the existing theories but also the art of theory-building.
