DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nTowards A New Ecology of Justice: 
 Intergenerational Trauma and the Social Nervous System\n   Talk of trauma 
 is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially with the ongoing and 
 shocking rise of violence in the US and globally. While western scientific 
 knowledge has historically been produced and used to maintain hegemonic 
 social control, a new synthesis in the biological sciences is emerging.  
 This emergent synthesis counters and de-naturalizes the central myth of 
 capitalism, that competition and hierarchy are the primary motors of 
 evolution, while offering new explanatory models and empirical evidence of 
 how oppression and discrimination harm us down to the cellular level and is 
 passed intergenerationally. \n   The material impacts of injustice on the 
 individual body and across generations can no longer be plausibly denied 
 nor can humanity’s radical connectivity with one another, our social 
 world, and our histories.  Bringing together the social theories of 
 Gramsci and Foucault with an overview of pertinent findings in neuroscience 
 and epigenetics, this talk will explore how we can understand the dynamic 
 processes of social transformation and critique the liberatory potential of 
 science in light of this compelling paradigm shift. Our speaker will be 
 Mordecai Cohen Ettinger, MA\n\nSunday, April 10, 2016 - 10:30 am to 12:30
