Modern Lovers explores love and contraband as ways of living along border sites, showing how limits shape movements, desires, risks, and losses in everyday life. Crossing the border, these artists trace ways in which people, objects, stories, and beliefs traverse liminal spaces not only physically, but also emotionally, conceptually, and sometimes even paranormally.

Epitomized in media like Crazy Rich Asians, boba liberalism diverges from the radical roots of the 1960’s and 1970’s Asian American Movement. Asian American cuisine has largely remained the domain of “boba liberals.” This talk contrasts the career of one such “boba liberal” restauranteur, Cecilia Chiang (1920-2020), with those of her workers. Chiang operated San Francisco’s first fine-dining Chinese restaurant, The Mandarin.

"Wait… humanists in neuroscience labs? Won’t they stifle innovation by asking too many questions? Wouldn’t the scientists just use them for ethics-washing? Prof. Tim Brown argues against a “compliance” model of embedding humanists in the sciences, where humanists police scientists into behaving responsibly. Instead, he proposes an “investigative” model, where open questions in both the sciences and humanities require deep, collaborative research to answer. Prof. Brown will draw from first-hand experiences as a philosopher embedded within teams of neuroscientists."
