    Afghan Election, 2010: Alternative Narratives
    (Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU), 2010-09) Coburn, Noah
    In the context of deteriorating security and following widely controversial elections in 2009, Afghan voters returning to the polls for the Wolesi Jirga election on 18 September will be asked to pass judgment on serious political issues at both the national and local levels. The international press has been widely concerned with how fraud and insurgency may delegitimise the election, but for most Afghans this has been only half of the story. Pre-election reports in the media have not considered deeply enough the way in which the election is part of a continual process of reshaping politics in the context of instability in Afghanistan.

    Endangered Psychotherapies (Poster)
    (2016-04) O'Brien, Michael; Boulanger, Ghislaine; Lorimer, Francine
    Health insurance companies and Federal regulators are moving the American health care system– including psychotherapy–toward “evidence-based treatment.” For psychotherapy, that means a movement in the direction of short-term behaviorally-focused treatments, which can be manualized and evaluated quickly and cleanly. This movement thus imperils a rich tradition of psychotherapies which are based on European models, which are more introspective, longer-term, and harder to evaluate. This series examines three “endangered psychotherapies” coming out of European intellectual traditions: psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, Jungian psychotherapy, and Gestalt psychotherapy. Date, time, and place of events : Awareness, Authenticity & Aggression: Superpowers in a Dis-Empowering World / Michael O'Brien : THURSDAY | APRIL 7 | 7:OO PM | EAC 2 -- Making Psychoanalysis Relevant. Practicing in the Real World / Ghislaine Boulanger| MONDAY | APRIL 18 | 10:10 AM | BARN 100 -- A Jungian Approach to Working with Borderline Disorders / Francine Lorimer| THURSDAY | APRIL 28 | 7:00 PM | CAPA SYMPOSIUM

    Society Culture Thought Colloquium Fall 2015 (Poster)
    (2015) Warnock, Debbie (SUNY); Martin, Emily (New York University); Kolbert, Elizabeth (author); Casana, Jesse (University of Arkansas)
    SEPTEMBER 21 "Inequalities in Educational Transitions" DEBBIE WARNOCK is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at SUNY Cortland. She holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Washington and a BA in Psychology and German Studies from Vassar. Her work focuses on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic inequalities in transitions to and from, and in experiences of, higher education. Her research is motivated by her experience of having grown up in a low-income family and the accompanying challenges she faced in her own educational transitions. -- SEPTEMBER 28 "Towards an Ethnography of Experimental Psychology" EMILY MARTIN | Historians of psychology have described how the “introspection” of early Wundtian psychology largely came to be ruled out of experimental settings by the mid 20th century. Emily Martin (NYU) takes a fresh look at the years before this process was complete—from the vantage point of early anthropological and psychological field expeditions. She will take this opportunity to reconsider the importance of the Cambridge Anthropological Expedition to the Torres Straits Islands in 1898 in the history of anthropology and to explore some possible ways of approaching experimental psychology ethnographically. -- OCTOBER 5 "The Sixth Extinction" ELIZABETH KOLBERT is a journalist and author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History, a book about mass extinctions that weaves intellectual and natural history with reporting in the field. Ms. Kolbert won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction for the book in 2015. In 2010, she received the prestigious Heinz Award, which recognizes individuals who are addressing global change caused by the impact of human activities and natural processes on the environment. Ms. Kolbert is a staff writer for The New Yorker, where she writes about politics and the environment. -- OCTOBER 26 JESSE CASANA is a specialist in the archaeology of the Middle East.
