Before the Khans: The Archaeology of the Xiongnu Empire in Mongolia (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 16, 2016 - November 16, 2016

A prevailing view in anthropological and archaeological theory has been that nomadic societies are incapable of forming complex political polities that endure in the longue durée. Here, Dr. Erik Johannesson challenges this view by presenting the results of over a decade of archaeological research on the Xiongnu Empire in Mongolia (209 BC-200 AD). According to Chinese texts, the Xiongnu Empire was formed when the charismatic leader Motun unified the nomadic steppe tribes of Mongolia and Siberia into a powerful confederacy that quickly emerged as a regional enemy of the Han Dynasty. The formation of this polity is identified archaeologically with sweeping changes in material culture, technology, and funerary customs. Drawing on fieldwork from Baga Gazaryn Chuluu in the north Gobi and Shombuuzin Belchir in the Altai foothills, this presentation will explore the archaeology of the Xiongnu Empire and how political centralization manifests in mortuary practice. Adopting a diachronic perspective, Xiongnu mortuary monuments will be discussed vis-à-vis preceding funerary traditions to illustrate that Xiongnu tombs represent a conspicuous inversion of previous customs. A scalar landscape approach will then be used to demonstrate how mortuary ideology was manipulated by the Xiongnu elite to incorporate local lineages of leadership into a broader Xiongnu political economy. Finally, the reopening of tombs in antiquity and osteological evidence of violent trauma will be discussed to illustrate that mortuary contexts formed important loci of Xiongnu state-craft, and arenas in which political ideologies were both imposed and contested.

Science in the Pub II - Urban Resilience (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 7, 2016 - November 7, 2016

To coincide with the opening of the 22nd Conference of the Party (COP22) gathering of world Heads of State and Governments, The Urban Research Network presents: Science in the Pub II - Urban Resilience. The majority of the global population is urban, and extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity. Cities founded under different climatic conditions are ill-equipped to cope with this shift. And so, on top of efforts at all levels of government to decrease consumption of finite energy resources, urban areas must also deal with the current reality of extreme weather. Cities must adapt because the human, environmental, and financial cost of doing nothing is increasing. The discussion will start with a short presentation by Maha Al-Zu'bi on issues surrounding urban resilience in Jordan. This will broaden the scope of the debate beyond the Anglo-European perspective, and provide a background to discuss issues of urban resilience in different contexts, and better understand specificities and commonalities for resilient cities over the world. Our other panelists: Christine Arthurs, director, Resilience and Infrastructure, City of Calgary Dr. Sasha Tsenkova, professor, Faculty of Environmental Design Dr. Caroline Hachem-Vermette, assistant professor, Faculty of Environmental Design Moderator: Natalie Robertson, MEDes candidate and Urban Resilience enthusiast To register: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/turn-science-in-the-pub-ii-urban-resilience-tickets-28474614338?utm_term=eventname_text

Philosophy Speakers: What Money Can and Cannot Buy (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 4, 2016 - November 4, 2016

The moral limits of markets have been well examined, but their metaphysical limits remain underexplored. This talk presents a framework to understand how there can be some things that money literally cannot buy. I identify these things as “transformable goods,” because exchanging them for money transforms them into something else. Further, I distinguish between those that are always impossible to buy or sell (called “invariably transformable goods”) and those that are only sometimes transformed by financial exchanges (called “variably transformable goods”). Applying this framework demonstrates three things that were previously obscured. First, it explains why some things are impossible to buy, sell, or market. Second, it shows that commodities (and other similar goods) are agent relative. Third, it shows that some paradigms of unsellable goods (such as friendship) can be bought and sold, at least in particular transactions involving the right kinds of agents. About the speaker David Dick is assistant professor of philosophy and a Fellow of the Canadian Centre for Advanced Leadership in Business (CCAL) in the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary. His main areas of research and teaching are in ethics and political philosophy. In particular, metaethics, business ethics, and the philosophy of money. In the Calgary business community, he oversees the Integrity Network, a working group of ethics professionals from corporate, academic, and non-profit sectors. Under David Dick's guidance, the Integrity Network has grown to include more than 85 participants from 47 organizations. Frequently invited to comment in the media, David Dick has made multiple appearances on Calgary Talk Radio QR77, Alberta Primetime, and the CBC. He is also a contributor to the Globe and Mail's Leadership Lab column. David Dick's UCalgary homepage

Design Matters Lecture Series with Mark Johnson (University of Calgary)

Join us November 2, 2016 from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at the University of Calgary Downtown Campus, 906 8 Ave. SW for the Design Matters Lecture Series with Mark Johnson . Non-students $10 | Students - Free (CASH ONLY at the door) Please click here to RSVP Also join us for a post-lecture reception from 7:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and meet the speaker! The reception is hosted by our sponsor Section23 Developments and appetizers and refreshments will be provided. Registered architects may earn 1.5 continuing education credits from the Alberta Association of Architects by providing their name and registration number on the sign-in sheet at each Design Matters lecture. About the presentation: Landscape architects have a deep responsibility to design places that create enjoyment, add meaningful experience, build community and enhance healthy lives. To do this we work somewhere between people, nature and the built environment. We must become knowledgeable about the nature of people and the nature of nature - we are part of nature, but as we alter it to our needs, we have a responsibility to sustain other life forms than our own; to maintain the natural or designed systems that nurture life; and to pursue some form of balance in the altered ecosystem. Civitas has worked in this arena for over 30 years, amassing a great deal of knowledge. By thinking of landscape not as a thing or a place, but as system, network and operation, we can build places that are sustainable but that also sustain us and other beings. This talk will discuss these topics in detail using St. Patrick's Island as an example but providing a wider history and context to the project and the range of work of the firm. About the speaker: Mark Johnson is the founding principal of CIVITAS, one of the two firms behind Calgary’s St. Patrick’s Island development. He earned his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture at Utah State University and went on to receive Master of Landscape Architecture in Urban Design at Harvard, where he found important mentors in Peter Walker, Moshe Safdie, and Jose Luis Sert. They fueled Mark’s passion to make a real difference in how cities work for both people and the environment. Since co-founding Civitas in 1984, Mark has led major public space projects, urban design plans and strategies, and has become widely known for his impact on several cities, on education, and on the role that landscape architects can play in leading complex projects to successful results. Mark is a regular lecturer at AIA, ASLA, APA, ULI events and a participant in many issue driven symposia, notably the International Academy of Design and Health, with whom he has lectured internationally on the role of community design in promoting public health. He is also a founder of the CEO Roundtable, an independent association of the leaders of the top landscape firms in the world that has met for more than 15 years to assess impacts and trends in the profession.

Horror in the Wax Museum (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: October 31, 2016 - October 31, 2016

While Edith Nesbit is mainly known as an author of children’s fiction, she also wrote numerous gothic tales that have only recently begun to attract scholarly attention. With emphasis on her 1905 thriller The Power of Darkness, this talk examines a series of Nesbit’s gothic short stories that appeared in the famous Strand Magazine. These delightfully lurid works of horror fiction share one thing in common: they are all set inside wax museums. Exploring the significance of wax figures, this talk proposes that these monstrous and abject statues suggest a feminist critique of British society. By considering the commodification of the sensation of the uncanny — in both real wax museums as well as in magazines such as the Strand, which offered its readers the thrill of the waxworks through the surrogate medium of Nesbit’s fictions — this talk reveals important connections between modern metropolitan space, with its system of urban attractions and entertainments, and the literary space of the popular periodical. Costumes encouraged! There will be candy!

ISPIA/CMSS workshop: Defining Private and Public Interests in Cybersecurity (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: October 31, 2016 - October 31, 2016

Societies have always been challenged by the need to provide security for their citizens in the face of other competing societal values. Cybersecurity is only the latest manifestation of this challenge because providing digital security often reveals private information about individuals that is irrelevant to the provision of their security. Modern society is facing a novel expression of this age-old challenge. This workshop will address the tension between privacy and security in the modern cyber-environment, explore corporate obligations that are or should be in place to protect individual privacy while providing security; and consider the personal responsibility in an age of social media. Sessions: 1:00 pm Social Media and Personal Security/Privacy 2:00 pm What are Corporate Obligations? 3:00 pm What is the Relationship between Privacy vs security? 4:00 pm Round Table with all panelists 5:00 pm Brief reception Speakers: Dr. Ken Barker, Computer Science, University of Calgary Dr. Barry Cooper, Political Science, University of Calgary Dr. Emily Laidlaw, Law, University of Calgary Ryan Jepson, Calgary Police Service Dr. Philip Fong, Computer Science, University of Calgary RSVP For the Workshop This event is co-sponsored by the Centre for Military, Security and Strategic Studies (CMSS) and the Institute for Security, Privacy and Information Assurance (ISPIA)
