The Wolfson Center for National Affairs presents a panel exploring whether religious fundamentalism can ever live with the pluralist paradigm and vice versa.

11:00 AM. Thomas Jefferson: The Intellectual as Politician, Libertarian and Slaveholder. The Original “Greatest Generation”Founding the American Republic. What explains the simultaneous emergence of Washington, Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison? Why was virtue more important than power to their self-image? How did they address the tortured issue of slavery, and where did they stand on church and state? These and other questions will enliven the discussion as we explore both myth and reality in the founding generation. Does Jefferson live up to the Jeffersonian myth? Suggested reading: Bailyn, To Begin the World Anew, chapter 2. Inquire about the series discount for all six sessions of The Original "Greatest Generation." Patricia Bonomi is Professor of American History Emerita at New York University. She is the author of books on colonial New York, and religion and politics in early America, as well as co-editor of The American Constitutional System Under Strong and Weak Parties.
Friday, November 10
6:30 p.m. - As Opposed to What? Lewis Lapham and Gary Younge on Creating a Real Opposition Force in American Politics. The New School, Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street. Admission: $8. After the midterm elections have passed, what will really change? While electing Democrats is the establishment's only prescription for six disastrous years of Republican control in Washington, few people have any illusions that the Democratic Party represents a true opposition force in U.S. politics. Join two of the country's favorite columnists, Gary Younge, the Guardian newspaper's U.S. correspondent, and Lewis Lapham, longtime editor and now editor emeritus of Harper's magazine, to discuss what it will take to create a real opposition movement in America today. Co-sponsored by The New School and The New Press.
Thursday, November 30 and Friday, December 1, 2006
Punishment: The U.S. Record. The Land of the Free? A conference on who, what, why and how we punish. Our nation's prison population has soared by more than 600% since the 1970s, despite a drop in crime rates. As of 2005, over two million people were imprisoned in this country: almost one in every 136 U.S. residents.
Black men, who make up 6% of the U.S. population, comprise over 40% of our prison population. A black male born today has a 32% chance of spending time in prison.
Eleven states do not allow ex-cons to vote. Nearly 2,800,000 American children have at least one parent in prison or jail.
What does this mean for our democracy? Where do our concepts of punishment come from? What is the effect on our families, communities and the economy of our staggeringly high incarceration rate?
Join us as we examine the foundations of our ideas of punishment, explore the social effects of current practices and search for viable alternatives to our carceral state.
This conference is supported by the Russell Sage Foundation, The Open Society Institute’s U.S. Justice Fund, the Ford Foundation and The J.M. Kaplan Fund and is also cosponsored by the ACLU.
