- Oct 111:15 PMThe 2024 Presidential Campaign and the Future of American Democracy: A DebateThis debate features two articulate law professors and former government officials with very different political perspectives: Professor John Yoo, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, a Republican, former deputy assistant attorney general in the George W. Bush Administration, former general counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has served in all three branches of national government, and who is a regular commentator on FoxNews; and Harry Litman, the senior legal affairs columnist for the Opinion page at the Los Angeles Times; the host and creator of the Talking Feds podcast; a regular commentator on MSNBC, CNN, and CBS News; a Democrat who advised the Kerry-Edwards campaign in 2004 and (post-election) the Obama-Biden campaign in 2008; and a former U.S. Attorney and deputy assistant attorney general.This matchup promises an animated debate on a range of current political, legal, and constitutional issues facing the nation yet distinctive for its civility and civil engagement of the ideas embodied in the parties' differing perspectives. This event is free and open to the public. Originally published at constudies.nd.edu.
- Oct 113:30 PMLecture: The Failings of Irish Republicans and the National Question in Ireland”As part of the Keough-Naughton Institute's fall 2024 speaker series, Professor Peter Shirlow will deliver a lecture titled “The Failings of Irish Republicans and the National Question in Ireland.” Lecture Abstract This lecture will explore how, despite post-Brexit Referendum predictions of a united Ireland by as early as 2021, there has been, at best, limited growth in recorded support for ending partition between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Growth of Northern Ireland’s Catholic population has been less dramatic than predicted and the region now has the fastest growing economy in the UK. Peter Shirlow asserts that in this context, pro-united Ireland campaigns and republican activism, especially via civic fora and social media, have failed to significantly close the gap between Irish unity and pro-union proponents. In this lecture, Shirlow will consider how Irish Republican arguments for unity contain internal contractions: underscoring the economic successes of the South while also indicating its structural deficiencies, or pointing to socio-economic deficiencies of Northern Ireland even while Republicans are co-authors of its new found economic growth. Ultimately, Shirlow argues, the shortcomings of Irish republicanism lie in its inability to read and understand the new sociology of Northern Ireland– particularly temporal and social shifts that potentially render the inevitability thesis of Irish unification inconsistent, if not ineffective, in the short to medium term. Speaker Biography Professor Peter Shirlow (FaCSS) is the director at the University of Liverpool’s Institute of Irish Studies. He was formerly the deputy director of the Institute for Conflict Transformation and Social Justice, QUB. He is the independent chair of the Executive Office's Employers' Guidance on Recruiting People with Conflict-Related Convictions Working Group and a board member of the mental health charity Threshold. He is a visiting research professor at the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice. He sits on the editorial boards of Irish Political Studies and International Planning Studies. Professor Shirlow has undertaken conflict transformation work in Northern Ireland and has used that knowledge in exchanges with governments, former combatants and NGOs in the former Yugoslavia, Moldova, Bahrain and Iraq. He has also presented talks to members of the US Senate and House of Representatives and is a regular media contributor. Originally published at irishstudies.nd.edu.

- Oct 114:00 PM"The Perils of U.S. Isolationism": A Fireside Chat with Sec. Condoleezza RiceFeaturing: Sec. Condoleezza Rice, Tad and Dianne Taube Director of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and 66th US Secretary of State (2005 to 2009) In Conversation with: Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., University President In a post-pandemic world, the United States and the global community face a myriad of challenges. From the rise of authoritarianism and military expansionism by China and Russia, to the declining resolve and effectiveness of international institutions, and long-term alliances threatened by ongoing conflicts, we are witnessing a rising tide of populism and isolationism. In a recent Foreign Affairs article, Secretary Rice outlined the perils of choosing isolationism for both the United States and the global order, and offers suggestions for how to best move forward to build an effective internationalist foreign policy to meet the challenges of the current moment. As part of our exploration of this year’s Notre Dame Forum theme, “What Do We Owe Each Other?”, join us to hear Secretary Rice’s reflections on the path forward for our nation and the world. This event is free, but ticketed. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis beginning one hour before the event.

- Oct 131:00 PMScooby-Doo (2002)When Gen X nostalgia reinvigorated 1970s pop culture during the 1990s, the TV cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was undoubtedly a belle of that ball. That nostalgia infused with corporate interests to ensure a Mystery Machine shirt could be purchased at Gadzooks nationwide. It also set the slow-growing seeds of a live-action film that arrived in that nostalgia's faded light with keen self-awareness to both lean into and redefine its characters and tropes, not unlike the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo 1980s reboot. In this film version, Scooby-Doo and his mystery-solving buddies Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (Linda Cardellini), and Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) have disbanded after shuttering Mystery, Inc. When each one is invited to the ominously named Spooky Island to investigate hauntings at the popular Spring Break locale, the crew ascertains whether the threats are paranormal or more earthly. GET TICKETS!
- Oct 133:30 PMFilm: "Pacifiction" (2022)As A.O. Scott wrote in The New York Times, Pacifiction mixes "John le Carré by way of David Lynch — a feverish and haunting but also wry and meditative rumination on power, secrecy and the color of clouds over water at sunset." On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official De Roller (Benoît Magimel) is a calculating man with flawless manners. His somewhat broad perception of his role brings him to navigate the high end 'establishment' as well as shady venues where he mingles with the locals. Especially since a persistent rumor has been going around: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing. GET TICKETS!

He is the author of the bestselling book Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, which has been adapted into a feature film. Under his leadership, EJI has won major legal challenges eliminating excessive and unfair sentencing, exonerating innocent death row prisoners, confronting abuse of the incarcerated and the mentally ill, and aiding children prosecuted as adults. Stevenson has argued and won multiple cases at the United States Supreme Court, including a 2019 ruling protecting condemned prisoners who suffer from dementia and a landmark 2012 ruling that banned mandatory life-imprisonment-without-parole sentences for all children 17 or younger. Stevenson and his staff have won reversals, relief, or release from prison for over 140 wrongly condemned prisoners on death row and won relief for hundreds of others wrongly convicted or unfairly sentenced. Stevenson has initiated major new anti-poverty and anti-discrimination efforts that challenge inequality in America. He led the creation of EJI’s highly acclaimed Legacy Sites, including the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. These new national landmark institutions chronicle the legacy of slavery, lynching, and racial segregation, and the connection to mass incarceration and contemporary issues of racial bias.

- Oct 1710:30 AMBook Launch: "Sanctions for Nuclear Disarmament and Non-Proliferation: Moving Forward"Peter Wallensteen, the Kroc Institute’s Richard G. Starmann Sr. Research professor emeritus, will discuss his new book, Sanctions for Nuclear Disarmament and Non-Proliferation: Moving Forward (Routledge, 2024). Co-edited with Uppsala University’s Armend Bekaj and appearing in Routledge’s Global Security Studies series, the volume examines the interplay between sanctions and nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. Specifically, it studies the conceptual frameworks behind the application of sanctions and the decision by states to pursue nuclear disarmament in their theoretical and practical expressions. Wallensteen’s contribution does much to update and stimulate the academic and policy debates on these issues by recasting them in light of contemporary global events, and considering case studies from the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean, India, China, Pakistan, Iran, and Africa. This book launch will take the form of a panel discussion, moderated by George Lopez, Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., professor emeritus of peace studies, who authored one of the book’s chapters, “Sanctions as tools to achieve nuclear reduction policy: is there a better way forward?” Responses to the book will come from Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, and Monica Montgomery (BA '19), policy analyst at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, and members of Kroc’s Advisory Board who have worked extensively on nuclear disarmament. All are encouraged to attend the launch of this significant volume, which will be of particular interest to students of nuclear non-proliferation, economic sanctions, security studies, and international relations. Lunch will be provided after the event in the Hesburgh Center Great Hall. Originally published at kroc.nd.edu.
