Anthropologists Speak Out Against Human Terrain Systems & War on Terror W/ David Price author of Threatening anthropology: McCarthyism and the FBI's surveillance of activist Anthropologists
I love this band! Got into them about a year ago and have been listening to them while I fall asleep pretty regularly. If you like them you should check out this band called Earth. They've got more of a bluesy/southern sound, but is still very slow, cinematic, chilled out and sabbath-influenced:
"I got a degree in East Asian History and now for the first time I am seeing all this hidden history that is left on the cutting room floor."

This four-part lecture series curated by Sam Haselby, Visiting Professor, and co-sponsored by the Leonard and Louise Riggio Writing and Democracy Program, the New School Writing Program, and Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts aims to deepen public understanding and raise critical awareness of this charter document of the United States by bringing three of the country's leading scholars of law, history, and literature and one of America's outstanding human rights activists to address the topic of the Constitution in Crisis
Run time: 1:11:27 Regardless of her monotone voice and numerous verbal faux pas here, Elaine Scarry is a known for her interpretive daring and interesting erudite philosophy. She has for decades scrutinized torture as an instrument of state-sanctioned policy, a preoccupation that grew out of her 1985 monograph The Body in Pain. She knows what she speaks of wrt collective trauma of humankind including and up to Nuclear war.
It would be wise to mind-walk with her.
Put on yer thinking caps fellers...
