Meeting Today!
Hyperreality/Baudrillard
Hi friends,
I hope this email finds you well and not melting in this heat. Today at 4pm in PAHB 441 we'll be having our second to last meeting of the semester! Today we'll be talking about hyperreality. Some key questions for discussion:
- What are examples of hyperreality in media/real life?
- Is it responsible to consume media uncritically?
- Is there an innate oppression within hyperreality?
I hope to see y'all there!

Today's meeting
Existing morally
Hi guys,
I'll let Andrew introduce today's meeting. Andrew, the floor is yours.
"Today I would like to investigate and expand upon the common sentiment there is 'no ethical consumption under capitalism,' and explore the degrees to which individuals possess agency with social, economic, and political structures larger than themselves. Where do we draw lines between a coerced or voluntary action? How do we navigate a reality where social pressures and moral obligations are often at odds with each other?" - Andrew
Thank you.
Come to PAHB 441 at 4pm today to find out if existing is ethical or not!

200 Years of Toxic Disavowal in South Baltimore
HCST Lecture with Chloe Ahmann
Hi friends,
I hope this email finds you better than ever and enjoying this beautiful weather! <3 I'm just writing to remind y'all of a super interesting lecture happening TODAY (that's co-sponsored by the Philosophy Department! :))
Basic Info:
April 22
4pm
ILSB 233
Event Description:
Time Bomb: Two Hundred Years of Toxic Disavowal in Late Industrial South Baltimore
In December 2021, South Baltimoreans watched as a devastating blast at the CSX coal terminal broke windows and sent a thick layer of carcinogenic coal dust into the air, which coated every surface in a 12-block radius. Deliberations at the city, state, and corporate level since have concerned how to prevent the next catastrophe. Palatable interventions range from promoting better coordination between industry and first responders in the event of trouble, to improving neighborhood alerts, to facilitating mass displacement. Decidedly off the table have been meaningful responses to the everyday disasters that have cut lives short on this industrial peninsula for the past two centuries.
South Baltimore has seen such a drama unfold before—most spectacularly during the late Cold War, when industrial accidents were on the rise and residents made sick over years of toxic exposure were moved to organize for recompense. Rather than politicize their health to do so, they learned to dramatize their imminent demise in the event of the next emergency. In the sense that they eventually secured a buyout of their homes, this argument was a success. But it hinged on an agreement to limit charges to the hypothetical. It proceeded as if the gravest obstacles to life lay then, in the devastating future, and not now, ambient and tedious. Examining how residents came to strike this painful bargain, the bleak conditions that made it seem like their best choice, and the painful resonance of both in the wake of the CSX explosion, I consider what it means to privilege an analysis that works over an analysis that speaks to life as lived—especially when the former holds that a hypothetical death carries more political value than a real one.

We'll be meeting today in PAHB 441 at 4pm!
Claudine is presenting on Arthur Schopenhauer and we'll be considering questions such as:
Can happiness and satisfaction be achieved even if desire breeds suffering?
Can you propose an alternate framework for will, desire, and suffering?
Are all human beings egoist?
I hope to see y'all there!!

Event Description:
Time Bomb: Two Hundred Years of Toxic Disavowal in Late Industrial South Baltimore
In December 2021, South Baltimoreans watched as a devastating blast at the CSX coal terminal broke windows and sent a thick layer of carcinogenic coal dust into the air, which coated every surface in a 12-block radius. Deliberations at the city, state, and corporate level since have concerned how to prevent the next catastrophe. Palatable interventions range from promoting better coordination between industry and first responders in the event of trouble, to improving neighborhood alerts, to facilitating mass displacement. Decidedly off the table have been meaningful responses to the everyday disasters that have cut lives short on this industrial peninsula for the past two centuries.
South Baltimore has seen such a drama unfold before—most spectacularly during the late Cold War, when industrial accidents were on the rise and residents made sick over years of toxic exposure were moved to organize for recompense. Rather than politicize their health to do so, they learned to dramatize their imminent demise in the event of the next emergency. In the sense that they eventually secured a buyout of their homes, this argument was a success. But it hinged on an agreement to limit charges to the hypothetical. It proceeded as if the gravest obstacles to life lay then, in the devastating future, and not now, ambient and tedious. Examining how residents came to strike this painful bargain, the bleak conditions that made it seem like their best choice, and the painful resonance of both in the wake of the CSX explosion, I consider what it means to privilege an analysis that works over an analysis that speaks to life as lived—especially when the former holds that a hypothetical death carries more political value than a real one.

Today we’re going to be talking about social construction and the way historically specific social structures crystallize and appear to become transhistorical facts of life.
If you’re wondering what that means (like I am) come to PAHB 441 at 4pm today to find out! See you then :)
