SUMMARY:School of Business: Faculty Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join School of Business faculty\, staff\, and students for an interesting dive into some recent research by Professor Atefeh Yazdanparast Ardestani\, associate professor in the School of Business.\nTitle: Color Saturation and Anticipated Sensory Intensity: An Account of Psychological Proximity \nAbstract: Color saturation is an important and relevant attribute in products and packaging. However\, the role of color saturation in relation to sensory attributes beyond the visual sense remains under-investigated. To partially address this broader gap\, the present investigation aims to document the effect of color saturation on the anticipated intensity of attributes related to other senses (smell\, taste\, touch\, and sound). Four studies collectively find that higher saturation in products and packaging results in heightened anticipated sensory intensity and support that psychological proximity is the underlying mechanism of this effect. This effect is tested across different product categories (i.e.\, soap\, microfiber towels\, a music album\, and cookies) using both the coloring of the product and its packaging with the effect found across different senses (i.e.\, scent\, touch\, sound\, taste\, smell\, and texture). Further\, arousal and processing fluency are ruled out as alternative explanations. \nJoin in person or online via Zoom:  \nMeeting ID: 923 2657 7294  — Passcode: 539642

SUMMARY:Landscapes of Decline in 1980s Hollywood
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mike Dwyer of Arcadia University will discuss his new book\, Tinsel and Rust: How Hollywood Manufactured the Rust Belt. \nWhat is the Rust Belt? This seemingly simple question is surprisingly difficult to answer. In response to the difficulty that scholars and commentators alike have faced in defining the term (is it a place? a historical period? an economic condition?)\, this presentation redirects our attention toward the ongoing cultural production of the idea of the Rust Belt through popular film and media. \nBorrowing the concept of “landscape” from cultural geographers like Don Mitchell\, Dwyer analyzes the way that Hollywood film in the 1980s trained Americans to see smokestacks and factories as symbols of inescapable toxicity and decay\, rather than sites of ongoing struggle and negotiation involving actual human beings. \n

SUMMARY:Fishers\, Foragers and Fine Diners
DESCRIPTION:Ben Jamieson Stanley (they/them)\, Assistant Professor of English at the University of Delaware\, will deliver an invited guest lecture at Clark University related to their recently published book: Precarious Eating: Narrating Environmental Harm. \nWhile “climate fiction” has become privileged in the Global North\, Global South representations more often trace environmental precarity to its roots in colonization and globalized capitalism. This talk situates fisheries and foraging as a point of entry to South Africa’s Western Cape\, where bustling culinary and environmental tourism coincide with hunger and stratification. Connecting Zakes Mda’s 2005 novel The Whale Caller to contemporary cookbooks and restaurants\, the talk follows the changing meanings of endangered mollusks such as abalone: from their role in indigenous foodways\, to the 1990s “abalone wars\,” and to the appropriation of “indigenous foods” in eco-gastronomic cuisine. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45 am for refreshments. \n\nBen Jamieson Stanley (they/them) is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Delaware\, where they are directing the launch of a new Center for Environmental Humanities. Ben’s research focuses on how we narrate and understand relationships among globalization\, empire\, and environmental precarity. Professor Stanley has also published on topics such as climate fiction\, veganism\, botanical gardens as tools of both empire and resistance\, and energy systems in Afrofuturist film. Their work can be found in journals such as ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment\, The Global South\, and Matatu: Journal for African Culture and Society. Professor Stanley is working on a second book tentatively titled Mobilities: Movement and Energy in a Changing South Africa\, which brings together questions of energy transition\, gender and sexuality\, and transit justice. \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Jason Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Taxis versus Uber: The Global Rise of Platform Firms in Urban Mobility Markets\n \nThe last few decades have been characterized by the return of market liberalism: the belief that national societies and the global economy can and should be organized through the institutional mechanism of ‘self-regulating markets.’ The liberal ideal may well be exemplified by the rise of platform firms that offer the promise of perfect markets through computational techniques of connecting buyers and suppliers. These firms use algorithmic processes to construct and aggregate fragmented markets\, thus capturing scale economies through network effects. The allure of platforms lies in the promise of economic efficiency and political liberty by providing market actors on both sides of the platform with freedom of choice. These technologies constitute a claim to modernity that is compelling to both policymakers and the public\, enabling platforms’ role in the radical transformation of cities\, while presenting a range of vexing challenges for democratic forms of urban governance. Platform firms claim to be technocratic and neutral even as they challenge the legitimacy of public sector control of urban spaces. This lecture focuses on the entry of ridehailing platform firms in urban mobility markets\, spaces that are a variegated mix of large-scale\, centralized public sector providers and relatively small\, fragmented and often informal private sector players. Ridehailing’s ‘disruption’ has generated diverse reactions in different political economies and labor markets in the developing and industrialized world\, but a common outcome is the concentration of power in oligopolistic platform firms\, the institutionalization of increasingly precarious conditions of work\, and the generation of resistance ‘from below’. The research suggests that ‘traditional’ centrally planned urban mobility systems such as taxis and mass transit\, and ‘modern’ urban mobility platforms thus constitute alternative modes of market governance. Yet they rely on enabling legal rules that structure the distribution of power and authority as well as material gains and losses. The role of law is intertwined with three classic dualisms in the study of markets that shape the economic order: the dualism between markets and planning\, formality and informality\, and monopoly and competition. \nJason Jackson is Associate Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning and Director of the Political Economy Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Jason’s research is broadly concerned with the relationship between states and markets in processes of economic development and social transformation. Jason is currently engaged with projects on the role of anti-colonial economic nationalism in development; the rise of platform firms\, the digital economy and the future of work; the return of industrial policy; and the global governance of public health. He is author of the forthcoming books Traders\, Speculators\, and Captains of Industry: The Role of Capitalist Legitimacy in Indian Foreign Investment Policy (Harvard University Press) and Varieties of Economic Nationalisms in Brazil and India (Cambridge University Press).
