Updated Courses Vary Curriculum English and American History Are Different at Wilson This Year Updated Courses Vary Curriculum English and American history are different at Wilson this year. The addition of one English course, the combining of two traditional courses and experimental classes in three other courses comprise this difference. Developmental reading is Wilson’s new class.

Dielenberg Freelance Neuroscientist, 15 Parry Street, Cooks Hill, NSW, 2300, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-423-057-977 Received: 3 March 2013; in revised form: 23 April 2013 / Accepted: 27 April 2013 / Published: 21 May 2013 Abstract: The hallmark of our species is our ability to hybridize symbolic thinking with behavioral output. We began with the symmetrical hand axe around 1.7 mya and have progressed, slowly at first, then with greater rapidity, to producing increasingly more complex hybridized products. We now live in the age where our drive to hybridize has pushed us to the brink of a neuroscientific revolution, where for the first time we are in a position to willfully alter the brain and hence, our behavior and evolution. Nootropics, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS) and invasive brain mind interface (BMI) technology are allowing humans to treat previously inaccessible diseases as well as open up potential vistas for cognitive enhancement. In the future, the possibility exists for humans to hybridize with BMIs and mobile architectures. The notion of self is becoming increasingly extended. All of this to say: are we in control of our brains, or are they in control of us? Keywords: hybridization; BMI; tDCS; TMS; DBS; optogenetics; nootropic; radiotelepathy Introduction Newtonian systems aside, futurecasting is a risky enterprise at the best of times.

  • Ethical Implications of Animal Personhood and the Role for Science
    13 Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, XXII, 2020, 1, pp. 13-32 ISBN: 1825-5167 ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF ANIMAL PERSONHOOD AND THE ROLE FOR SCIENCE KRISTIN ANDREWS Department of Philosophy York University (Canada) [email protected] ABSTRACT Personhood is a normative concept applied to beings who are due moral consideration given their agential and social properties. While the concept is a normative one, knowing how to appropriately apply the concept is a descriptive project, requiring guidance from scientists who can help to uncover whether or not a being has the relevant properties. If our current science attributes properties suffi- cient for personhood to a nonhuman animal, then we can directly conclude that the individual is morally considerable. However, from the mere fact that an animal is a person, we cannot draw any specific conclusions about appropriate treatment for captive animals. I will argue that from the prem- ise that an animal is a person we cannot directly conclude that the animal should be released from captivity, should not participate in research, should not participate in ecotourist schemes, or engage in other work; further descriptive premises would be needed. Such premises can only be supplied by experts who know the animal and the animal’s context. With respect to the descriptive project, animal ethicists need to defer to folk experts and scientists who are able to make informed judge- ments about what is best for a particular animal. This requires a collaborative relationship of trust between scientists and ethicists in order to best respect animal persons. KEYWORDS Personhood, animals, agency, animal persons, moral consideration.

  • Menagerie to Me / My Neighbor Be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900
    “MENAGERIE TO ME / MY NEIGHBOR BE”: EXOTIC ANIMALS AND AMERICAN CONSCIENCE, 1840-1900 Leslie Jane McAbee A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Eliza Richards Timothy Marr Matthew Taylor Ruth Salvaggio Jane Thrailkill © 2018 Leslie Jane McAbee ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Leslie McAbee: “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be”: Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900 (Under the direction of Eliza Richards) Throughout the nineteenth century, large numbers of living “exotic” animals—elephants, lions, and tigers—circulated throughout the U.S. in traveling menageries, circuses, and later zoos as staples of popular entertainment and natural history education. In “Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be,” I study literary representations of these displaced and sensationalized animals, offering a new contribution to Americanist animal studies in literary scholarship, which has largely attended to the cultural impact of domesticated and native creatures. The field has not yet adequately addressed the influence that representations of foreign animals had on socio-cultural discourses, such as domesticity, social reform, and white supremacy. I examine how writers enlist exoticized animals to variously advance and disrupt the human-centered foundations of hierarchical thinking that underpinned nineteenth-century tenets of civilization, particularly the belief that Western culture acts as a progressive force in a comparatively barbaric world. Both well studied and lesser-known authors, however, find “exotic” animal figures to be wily for two seemingly contradictory reasons.
