- 12:00 AM23h 59mConference — "Science and Platform Capitalism: The New Organization of Knowledge Production"Online platforms have become ubiquitous in everyday life. Few realize, however, that platforms are also seeking to re-engineer scientific research and the university. By bringing together specialists who are studying this process, this conference will allow us to speculate on the shape of future science.

- 9:30 AM7hExhibit — "Printing the Nation: A Century of Irish Book Arts"The exhibition features books printed in Ireland from the early twentieth century to this past decade, showing the development of Irish book art over the century. A recurring theme, particularly in early publications, is the influence of early Irish art forms in the various design and decorative elements of the books. The selection of fonts, illustrations, and decorative styles were carefully considered by the printers and publishers, and this small variety of books demonstrates various aspects of the art of printing and book design practiced in Ireland. The facsimile Book of Kells is on display, as this and other illuminated manuscripts are a touchstone of sorts for book art in Ireland, particularly at the time of the Irish Literary Revival and the Irish Language Revival. Publishing houses featured in the exhibit include the Dun Emer Press and Cuala Press, Colm Ó Lochlainn’s Sign of the Three Candles Press, Liam Miller’s Dolmen Press, and the contemporary Stoney Road Press and Salvage Press. While the books in this exhibit cover a range of subjects from industry to ornithology, most are literary works, and a number of the books are editions of texts from Gaelic literature, including Thomas Kinsella’s translation of Táin Bó Cuailgne (The Tain), illustrated by Louis le Brocquy. The selection exhibited represents only part of the very extensive collection of important Irish printing presses held by the Hesburgh Libraries. Exhibit Tours Tours of the exhibit may be arranged for classes and other groups by contacting Aedín Clements at (574) 631-0497 or aclemen1@nd.edu. Additional curator-led tours are open to the public at noon on the following Fridays:February 24 March 10 March 31 April 7 April 21This exhibit is curated by Aedín Ní Bhróithe Clements, Irish Studies Librarian and Curator of Irish Studies Collections. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.

- 4:00 PM1hJustice and Asia Distinguished Lecture: “Buddhism and Nonviolence in the Contemporary World”Philosopher and Buddhism scholar Jay Garfield of Smith College will deliver the third annual Justice and Asia Distinguished Lecture by the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies at the University of Notre Dame on Thursday, April 13, 2023. The event is cosponsored by Notre Dame's Department of Philosophy, and Mike Zhao, assistant professor of philosophy, will moderate. The event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.In a lecture titled “Buddhism and Nonviolence in the Contemporary World,” Garfield will present a Buddhist analysis of nonviolence in a way relevant to our contemporary life. He will first explain how violence manifests in the contemporary world. Second, he will present a Buddhist analysis of that violence and its causes. Third, he will ask how a Buddhist ethical framework determines our responsibilities as agents in the context of that violence and a path to its eradication. Garfield chairs the Department of Philosophy and directs the Buddhist Studies Program and the Tibetan Studies in India Program at Smith College. He is a visiting professor of Buddhist philosophy at Harvard Divinity School, professor of philosophy at Melbourne University, and adjunct professor of philosophy at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies. Academicinfluence.com has identified him as one of the 50 most influential philosophers in the world over the past decade. His research addresses topics in the foundations of cognitive science and the philosophy of mind, metaphysics, the history of modern Indian philosophy, and topics in ethics, epistemology and the philosophy of logic, and topics in Buddhist philosophy, particularly Indo-Tibetan Madhyamaka and Yogācāra. He is the author of more than 30 books, including his most recent titles, “Losing Ourselves: Learning to Live without a Self,” “Knowing Illusion: Bringing a Tibetan Debate into Contemporary Discourse,” and “Buddhist Ethics: A Philosophical Exploration.” The Liu Institute’s Justice and Asia Distinguished Lecture invites top scholars who examine the theme of justice in relation to Asia and with awareness of Asian cultures and traditions. The series is part of the Liu Institute’s organizing theme of “Justice and Asia” that examines and supports thematic work from a range of perspectives, projects, disciplines, and collaborations.

- 5:00 PM1hLive Talk and Zoom Webinar — "Labor, Exploitation, and the Environment: Fast Fashion and Global Supply Chains"Rethinking our responsibilities as consumers From the clothes we wear to the influencers we follow, consumers play a significant role in the fashion industry. We buy new garments regularly, often in excess, and discard old clothes with little thought about the implications. In response, the fashion industry now manufactures 52 seasons of clothing every year – one for each week. Consumers who crave the newest trends perpetuate this speedy production, a phenomenon known as fast fashion. There are multiple effects of fast fashion. Clothes must be sold at a lower cost, which translates into extremely low wages and poor working conditions for garment industry workers. Beyond concerns for laborers, fast fashion also harms the environment. Cheap clothes, produced quickly, are made with inferior materials and a higher volume of plastic. Because these clothes are quickly thrown away, a cycle of production and waste results in a large amount of carbon emission among other environmental hazards. Join the Klau Institute as Justine Nolan, director of the Australian Human Rights Institute, shares insights on fast fashion and asks what hope exists for addressing labor and environmental exploitation in global supply chains. Register at attend in person Register to attend via ZoomJustine NolanJustine Nolan is a professor in the faculty of law and justice at the University of New South Wales Sydney and director of the Australian Human Rights Institute. Justine's research focuses on the intersection of business and human rights, in particular, supply chain responsibility for human rights and modern slavery.Her 2019 co-authored book Addressing Modern Slavery examines how consumers, business and government are both part of the problem and the solution in curbing modern slavery in global supply chains. Other recent books include The International Law of Human Rights (OUP, 2017) and Business and Human Rights: From Principles to Practice (Routledge, 2016).She teaches international human rights law and related courses on global law, development, globalisation and business and human rights. Justine works closely with business, government and civil society and has been a key driver of the Australian business and human rights movement.
