- 4:00 AM13hReliability InsuranceLiability for harm not only incentivizes individuals to exercise optimal care and guarantees compensation to victims; it also serves the interest of potential injurers. The prospect of liability equips subjects with a "right to be sued," which enables them to credibly signal their prudence in potentially harmful interactions, thus substantiating trust among counterparties. Liability for medical malpractice, for instance, bolsters the reliability of physicians exactly because they would be the ones suffering the cost of inadequate treatment. Oddly, however, individuals and businesses regularly waive their "right to be sued" by purchasing liability insurance. At its core, insurance is thus in tension with the informational power of liability. This talk examines when and how insurance might undermine credibility and attenuate policyholders' reliability in the eyes of actors with whom they interact—business counterparties, employees, investors, audiences, regulators or patients.

- 3:35 PM1h 10mFrom Salvage to Survivance: Vibrations of Memory in Refugee LiteratureAs global displacement continues to rise, so too will the field of refugee literature continue to expand into new directions. Literature serves as a consistently powerful medium for capturing the intricacies of refugee experiences and transcending the often reductive rhetoric of mainstream discourse that tends to reduce refugees to stereotypes of victim or criminal. For decades, the field of refugee literature has embraced narratives that highlight the multifaceted nature of the refugee figure while providing a means for refugees to explore and reclaim their own histories. This lecture will investigate these possibilities by analyzing the political and aesthetic intersections within refugee literature. We will look at narrative examples that demonstrate the complexities of refugee memory work and how writers and artists can go beyond the limits of language to create resonant connections between reader and text. Together, we will examine these connections and their creative potential for combating identity erasure, bearing historical witness, and serving as alternative forms of archive for survival migrants.
- 3:35 PM1h 10mFrom Salvage to Survivance: Vibrations of Memory in Refugee LiteratureAs global displacement continues to rise, so too will the field of refugee literature continue to expand into new directions. Literature serves as a consistently powerful medium for capturing the intricacies of refugee experiences and transcending the often reductive rhetoric of mainstream discourse that tends to reduce refugees to stereotypes of victim or criminal. For decades, the field of refugee literature has embraced narratives that highlight the multifaceted nature of the refugee figure while providing a means for refugees to explore and reclaim their own histories. This lecture will investigate these possibilities by analyzing the political and aesthetic intersections within refugee literature. We will look at narrative examples that demonstrate the complexities of refugee memory work and how writers and artists can go beyond the limits of language to create resonant connections between reader and text. Together, we will examine these connections and their creative potential for combating identity erasure, bearing historical witness, and serving as alternative forms of archive for survival migrants.
