Ep. #154 - Evan Berry
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic rediscover the Violent Femmes on this week's podcast and that prompts a discussion of the best albums of all time. We then (18:54) welcome American U’s Evan Berry to the podcast, author of Devoted to Nature: The Religious Roots of American Environmentalism (U California Press, 2015) and the PI of a Luce Foundation funded project on “Religion and Climate Change in Cross-Regional Comparison.” We start with the Pope and his views on climate change and then quickly move on to Evan’s argument that much apparently secular environmentalist thinking has deep affinities with Christian theology. We revisit Lynn White’s famous argument that Christianity devalues nature, discuss the need to move past “great man” narratives of the evolution of environmentalism, and ruminate on what 19th century Christian environmentalists considered to be the “moral salubriousness of nature.” Evan shares his thoughts on how Protestant nominalism may have informed American climate denialism over time and also about how walking as a form of “recreational salvation” became linked to the valorization of wilderness. We discuss whether American Christianity is exceptional in terms of climate morality and why American political culture has become an incubator for religious radicalism. We then turn to how climate change is now impacting religious systems across the world and how better intergenerational ethics might teach us to think collectively rather than individually. Finally, we discuss another recent book project Evan has undertaken with Rob Albro, Church, Cosmovision, and the Environment: Religion and Social Conflict in Contemporary Latin America (Routledge 2018)
The Singer or the Song? Developments in Performers' Rights from the Perspective of a Cultural Economist
No full textOver the last century, performers gradually acquired statutory protection of their economic and moral
rights. These rights are not copyright in the legal sense but neighboring rights and until recently, they
were mainly remuneration rights that are collectively administered. With the WPPT (WIPO
Performers and Phonograms Treaty), performers now have individual exclusive rights for digital
performances; this leads to the question: what has motivated this change – is it a change in the
perception of the value of performer or a change brought about by the changing technology of copying or,
indeed, a change that reflects different economic costs and benefits? The paper discusses the role of
copyright law as an incentive to performers and asks if the economic role of the performer is so different
from that of the author. The conclusion is that a complex interaction of the legal regulations, economic
conditions and institutional arrangements for administering these new rights will determine the outcome
Poser
No full textPoser is a book of poems consisting of seven sections. The poems inside the book deal with a range of topics, but focus centrally around the development of identity in contemporary society. The work calls to question the paths human beings seek in order to affirm selfhood, and deals heavily with the psychological problem known as "Imposter Syndrome." The sections address distinct periods of development and their corresponding spiritual, social, and human inquiries, which end up defining the shapes of our lives.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Evan Gill Smit
Thermocapillary approaches to the deliberate patterning of polymers
No full textThe phenomenon of thermocapillarity, the response of fluids to thermal gradients due to thermal alteration of their surface tension, was first reported over a century ago. Since then, research has focused generally on either the fundamentals or mitigation of this effect during the processing of materials. Only in the past two decades has the deliberate use of thermocapillary forces for the patterning of polymers been actively pursued, either for the ordering of internal structure or the introduction of topographic features. This review seeks to highlight this work and further identify directions for further investigation. In particular, while thermocapillary forces are often inextricably bound to other mechanisms, there are emerging directions in the deliberate coupling of forces to improve the capabilities of each mechanism. Further, the applications of thermocapillary patterning to polymer-nanoparticle composites has recently provided another promising route to active architectures.Peer reviewed

Sentience and Beyond - A Representative Interview With Peter Singer AI
No full textPublisher Copyright: © The Author(s), 2025. Published by Cambridge University Press.This interview with Peter Singer AI serves a dual purpose. It is an exploration of certain - utilitarian and related - views on sentience and its ethical implications. It is also an exercise in the emerging interaction between natural and artificial intelligence, presented not as just ethics of AI but perhaps more importantly, as ethics with AI. The one asking the questions - Matti Häyry - is a person, in the contemporary sense of the word, sentient and self-aware, whereas Peter Singer AI is an artificial intelligence persona, created by Sankalpa Ghose, a person, through dialogue with Peter Singer, a person, to programmatically model and incorporate the latter's writings, presentations, recipes, and character qualities as a renowned philosopher. The interview indicates some subtle differences between natural perspectives and artificial representation, suggesting directions for further development. PSai, as the project is also known, is available to anyone to chat with, anywhere in the world, on almost any topic, in almost any language, at www.petersinger.ai.Peer reviewe
