| Human Rights at the Border: Migrant Rights, Transitional Justice, and the El Paso Massacre
Camilo Pérez-Bustillo will discuss the implications of policies and practices implemented by the Trump administration at the border (militarization of the border, securitization of migration policy, criminalization and commodification of migrants and the intensified externalization and regionalization of these approaches) from a comparative perspective that includes the impact of equivalent policies at the borders of the European Union and Australia. This includes acts that must be understood as instances of torture and forced disappearances, with genocidal implications, pursuant to the Rome Statute and broader norms of international criminal law.

| Webinar - Digital Wellness: Health Impacts of Wireless Technology
Are you concerned about excessive screen time for yourself or your family or the physical risks of radiation generated by cell phones and Wi Fi? You are not alone.
While the use of wireless devices has skyrocketed, there have been more questions than answers raised about associated mental health, physical health, environmental, privacy, and security issues of this new technology. While there are conflicting opinions, there is credible research that underscores the need for precaution. In this noontime webinar, you will learn scientific research regarding wireless technologies and their effects on biological systems as well as the psychosocial aspects of digital addictions and how digital technology and excessive screen time can have physiological and psychological effects on children and adults.

The PHATE of Communities
Most physicians have little understanding of the neighborhoods they serve or the social factors that affect the people who live there. We know that social factors are among the most potent effectors of life outcomes and that neighborhood social factors can be reliable markers for identifying personal risk. Even as health care starves social services that can improve outcomes, health care is feeling pressure to fill the gap and address patient and community risks. Read more.

Labor and Capital Market Policy: From Ideas to Actions over One Hundred YearParticipants: Caroline Hoxby, John Cochrane, and George P. Shultz
Nowhere are good economic ideas more important for growth and stability than in labor and capital markets. Enormous technological, political, and demographic shifts in the past one hundred years have changed what is feasible and what works in practice. Panelists will discuss how ideas about the roles of government and private enterprise have changed, how good ideas stressing economic freedom can be advanced into action, and the influence of globalization on the ability of governments to apply good ideas to capital flows and immigration.

Atipica CEO and founder Laura Gomez @ ETL
“Always ask, when you’re using a tool with AI, ‘Who’s the founder, who’s the data scientist?’” advises Atipica CEO and founder Laura Gomez in an interview she did for VMWare earlier this year.
Concerned with the ways that AI and machine learning often reveal biases against already marginalized groups, Gomez created a platform that uses those same tools to remove rather than exacerbate bias in the hiring process. Atipica offers companies applicant tracking and recruitment tools, visual diversity dashboards, and a way to automatically re-surface applicants from underrepresented backgrounds. Read more.

Mastering Uncertainty: The Power of Archival Thinking | Cantor Intensive
Dec 6 workshop at the Cantor Ats Center on archives-based teaching
When confronted with chaos and uncertainty, do you know how to stay calm, ask the right questions, and find the answers?
Archival researchers do.
Do you realize that less than 1 percent of primary sources have been digitized, and that 99 percent still exist in their original formats in collections, small and large, scattered all across the world? Do you know how to find them and use them?
Archival researchers do.
Through hands-on exercises in Stanford's archives, students learn the fundamentals of archival research. Pursuing their own research interests, students will learn to become self-sufficient, independent researchers capable of navigating uncertainty and producing knowledge--a skill set in demand no matter what their major or post-graduate plans. Instructor permission required.
This session takes place at the Cantor. Interested students might be interested in signing up for the intensive at the Hoover Archives as well.
DESCRIPTION
We are seeking Stanford undergraduates interested in - acquiring hands-on, practice-based skills in archival research- getting to know colleagues and the inside workings of the Cantor
Students who complete this intensive are eligible to receive credit for the course
