Philosophy Speakers Program: Andrea Woody (Washington) "Re-Orienting Discussions of Scientific Explanation" (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 28, 2014 - March 28, 2014

Philosophy of science offers a rich lineage of analysis concerning the nature of scientific explanation, but the vast majority of this work, aiming to provide an analysis of the relation that binds a given explanans to its corresponding explanandum, presumes the proper analytic focus rests at the level of individual explanations. There are, however, other questions we could ask about explanation in science, such as: What role(s) does explanatory discourse play in science? Shifting focus away from explanations, as achievements, toward explaining, as a coordinated activity of communities, what I label the functional perspective aims to reveal how the practice of explanatory discourse functions within scientific communities given their more comprehensive sets of practices. In this talk, I will outline the functional perspective, argue that taking the functional perspective can reveal important methodological roles for explanation in science, and consequently, that beginning with this question provides resources for developing more adequate responses to traditional concerns. In particular, through examples in chemistry, I will emphasize the normative status of explanations within scientific communities and discuss how such status underwrites a compelling rationale for explanatory power as a theoretical virtue. Andrea Woody (PhD Pittsburgh) is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Washington in Seattle. She is also adjunct faculty in Dance, History, and Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies. She currently serves as Associate Editor for Philosophy of Science and Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences, and is a member of the Editorial Board of Foundations of Chemistry and the organizing committee for the Society for the Philosophy of Science in Practice (SPSP). Her current research in the philosophy of science involves (i) developing "the functional perspective" on scientific explanation, (ii) analyzing diagrammatic, graphical, and pictorial representations as part of a larger project examining how pragmatic techniques for manipulating scientific theory are developed and justified by scientific communities, and (iii) seeing how issues of explanation and representation are related to one another. These projects interface with traditional discussions concerning explanation, representation, reduction, theory change, and disciplinary formation. In aesthetics, her work focuses on the performing arts, considering issues related to the identity of performing artworks, the virtues of live performance, and the nature of site-specific artworks.

Department of Economics Seminar Series - Melanie Morten (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 28, 2014 - March 28, 2014

"Migration, Roads and Labor Market Integration: Evidence from a Planned Capital City" Abstract: Wages in developing countries differ greatly across sector and across space. In Brazil, real wages are on average 41% higher in the capital city, Brasilia, than outside the capital. The wage gap remains large even within skill group (31%) and within industry (22%). These large differences in returns to labor present a spatial arbitrage puzzle: why do people not migrate to equalize wages across space? We propose one explanation: it is costly to move. We use the construction of a planned capital city, Brasilia, to generate plausibly exogenous variation in the national road network, and examine the role of roads in facilitating labor market integration. Using a database of gross inter-municipality flows, we construct and estimate a spatial equilibrium model where migration is costly. The results yield that access to roads is a key determinant of migration. Reducing the marginal cost of traveling by 50% would increase migration rates to 16%, from a base of 8.7%. The effect is reduced by 10% once the general equilibrium effects of migration are computed.

Inferences in Bivariate Multinomial Models (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 28, 2014 - March 28, 2014

Abstract: Analyzing multivariate categorical data is an important and practical research topic. Even though there exist many studies on the analysis of bivariate (possibly multivariate) categorical data, the modeling of correlations among the bivariate multinomial variables is, however, not adequately addressed. In this thesis, we develop three correlation models for bivariate multinomial data. The first model accommodates fully specified marginal probabilities and uses a bivariate normal type conditional probability relationship to model the correlations of the bivariate multinomial variables. Next, we propose a random effects based familial type model to accommodate the correlations, where conditional on the random effects the marginal probabilities are fully specified. The third model is developed by considering the marginal probabilities of one variable as fully specified, and using conditional multinomial logistic type probability model to accommodate correlations. The estimation of the parameters for all three models is discussed in details through both simulation studies and analysis of real data.

Archaeology Beyond the Academy - Nancy Saxberg (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 27, 2014 - March 27, 2014

"My Long-term Relationship with the Rossdale Site" The Rossdale site (FjPi-63) is believed to be the location of the second and fourth phases of NWCo. Fort Augustus and HBCo. Edmonton House. Situated in the North Saskatchewan River Valley near downtown Edmonton, Rossdale has been home to various municipal and industrial developments for over a century. This more recent land use has resulted in extensive disturbance to significant archaeological deposits, although explorations on the site since the 1980s have shown that intact vestiges occasionally occur. Consistent management of these historical resources over the past 15 years has resulted in a better understanding of the patterning of the nineteenth-century occupation. This paper is a discussion of the major discoveries made as a result of CRM studies on the site. For more information, please visit the Archaeology Beyond the Academy webpage.

Faculty of Sience EES Seminar Series talk - "Science, Values and Decision-Making in Climate Policy" (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 24, 2014 - March 24, 2014

An activity framed within the University of Calgary's Energy Research Strategy "Energy Innovations for Today and Tomorrow". Join us Monday, March 24th for Dr. Thomas Dietz's Faculty of Science EES Seminar Series presentation. Title: "Science, Values and Decision-Making in Climate Policy." Time: 3:00 PM Location: EEEL Building, Room 210 SUMMARY: Decision-making around climate change adaptation and mitigation requires an integration of facts and values. Science has evolved mechanisms that lead to respected understandings of facts. Methods such as risk analysis help to take account of scientific uncertainty in decision making. Processes for linking scientific analysis with public deliberation are often used as part of the policy process. However, much less progress has been made in finding appropriate ways to integrate values with facts. In order to develop better approaches to deal with both facts and values, we need to acknowledge multiple forms of expertise about both facts and values, explore sources of uncertainty about values, and consider tools for handling not only value differences but also value uncertainty. These ideas, and the theoretical and empirical literature that underpin them, are explored in the context of adaptive risk management to deal with climate change.

Chiniki Lecture in First Nations History: Stoney-Nakoda and Banff National Park (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 22, 2014 - March 22, 2014

Controlling and Constructing The Stoney-Nakoda: National Parks Exclusion, Banff Indian Days, Resistance and Agency Presentations by Melanie Niemi-Bohun and Jonathan Clapperton Saturday, March 22, 2 to 5 PM Admission by donation Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies 111 Bear Street Banff, Alberta This year's Chiniki Lecture addresses the relationship between Banff National Park and the Stoney-Nakoda. Melanie Niemi-Bohun (University of Alberta, PhD Candidate) will show how Stoney-Nakoda exclusion from the park had much more to do with the interests of game conservation, sport hunting, and assimilation and not to keep a pristine wilderness uninhabited. Jonathan Clapperton (UofA, Postdoctoral Fellow) argues that Banff Indian Days was constructed to temporarily welcome Stoney-Nakoda back to the park in a ritual considered safe by onlookers, while asserting a broader role for themselves within the park and settler-colonial society. The 7th Annual Chiniki Lecture in First Nations History is presented by the University of Calgary's History Graduate Students' Union and the Stoney Tribal Administration.

Department of Economics Seminar Series - Meredith Fowlie (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 21, 2014 - March 21, 2014

"Returns on Investment in Energy Efficiency: Evidence from the Weatherization Assistance Program" Abstract: It is widely held that households and firms routinely overlook seemingly cost effective investments in energy efficiency improvements. As a result of this oversight, it is estimated that 1.1 gigatons of domestic annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions (or approximately 15 percent projected business -as‐ usual emissions in 2030) could be achieved at negative private cost (Granade et al. 2009). This so called “efficiency gap” is attracting the attention of policy makers in pursuit of low‐cost carbon mitigation alternatives. Bottom‐up modeling of energy savings potential is playing an increasingly important role in shaping policy priorities and implementation.

Philosophy Speakers Program: Alex Rueger (Alberta), "Kant's Aesthetics and the Development of his Moral Theory" (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 21, 2014 - March 21, 2014

Rueger will present some--unavoidably speculative, he says--suggestions about how the project of Kant's Critique of Judgement took shape from 1784 to 1790. The topic of the talk, therefore, is not so much the third Critique as the problems that gave rise to it. He focuses on two issues: (i) In the first Critique (1781), Kant had pronounced that a critique of taste is impossible because the pleasure of taste has no claim to universality. Three years later, however, he seemed to have changed his mind about this (though not in print). Why? (ii) In the third Critique, he claimed that this work is supposed to bridge the "incalculable gulf" between nature and freedom, between the faculties of understanding and of practical reason and thereby bring the "entire critical enterprise to an end". Since it is not obvious that such a gulf had been recognized as a serious problem before by Kant, one should ask again: Why? The period between 1784 and 1790 is also the time in which Kant's moral philosophy underwent two fundamental revisions. Rueger conjectures that question (i) can be answered by paying attention to the radically new doctrine of incentives to morality that Kant presented in the Groundwork (1785). Soon after the publication of this work, however, he realized that the deduction of the moral law in the Groundwork was a failure (as he acknowledged in the Critique of Practical Reason (1787)), The deduction crucially relied on a transition from understanding to practical reason. When this transition was recognized as violating the basic constraints of the cricial philosophy, the "gulf" between understanding and practical reason became a serious issue and bridging the gulf seemed required to complete the "critical enterprise".

Adaptive algorithm for global carbon dioxide data assimilation (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 21, 2014 - March 21, 2014

Abstract: The carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere plays an important role in climate change. Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is a popular tool for atmospheric and oceanographic data assimilation. In this talk, I will first briefly introduce a theoretical framework of the global carbon flux and the ensemble Kalman filter for data assimilation. Then I will propose adaptive estimation procedures based on the maximum likelihood and least squares principles. The proposed methods are tested on the popular Lorenz-96 and Lorenz-3 models. The simulation results show that the forecast error covariance matrix is effectively corrected and the true system states are better retrieved.

"But is It Authentic?" Culinary Tourism, Sensory Learning, and Teaching on the Road (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: March 20, 2014 - March 20, 2014

Please join the Department of Communication and Culture Colloquium (Triple C) to hear Dr. Dawn Johnston and Lisa Stowe's talk entitled But is It Authentic: Culinary Tourism, Sensory Learning, and Teaching on the Road. This presentation explores the teaching and learning experience of a University of Calgary short-term travel study program (Food Culture in Spain). A combination of secondary research and primary data collected through in-depth interviews with former program participants, as well as student reflective essays written in the field, shows that the sensory experience with food is an important pedagogical tool. Focusing on questions of intentionality, sensory learning, and the meaning of authenticity, we explore the complications inherent in a formal education program built around culinary tourism. We hope to demonstrate that by the end of the three-week program in Spain, students identify as informed culinary tourists who recognize the complexity of authenticity and understand how sensory experiences can inspire and motivate both a bodily and an intellectual understanding of food and their relationship with it. Dr. Dawn Johnston is a senior instructor in the Department of Communication and Culture. Her research and teaching interests include food culture, critical media studies, and gender and sexuality in popular culture. Lisa Stowe is an instructor in the Department of Communication and Culture, and a doctoral candidate in Adult Learning in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary. Her current research focuses on formal, informal, and transformative learning in study abroad programs. comcul.ucalgary.ca/butisitauthentic ABOUT TRIPLE C - The Triple C Speakers Series is a monthly colloquium hosted by the Department of Communication and Culture presenting new research and special interest topics in the Social Sciences and Humanities to the University of Calgary community.
