SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Amy Stambach
DESCRIPTION:Professor Amy Stambach is a cultural anthropologist whose research examines the production and mobilization of environmental knowledge. Her anthropological work began with studying Tanzanian education programs designed to build a post-colonial and post-socialist national citizenry. That work led to her interest in U.S. evangelical religious groups’ involvement in providing education to students in Kenya\, Tanzania\, and Uganda and\, more recently\, to the study of China-Africa educational programs as seen from the perspectives of Tanzanian\, Kenyan\, and Rwandan university students and higher education professionals. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Janice Nadler
DESCRIPTION:We all know each other’s projects and publications. The more intriguing story is surely the elusive big picture. In this series\, we invite colleagues who have arrived at a certain career stage to take us through the “arc” of their scholarship: how they began; new opportunities\, directions\, obstacles\, and impasses; how the pieces fit together (or don’t); why they asked certain questions and not others; what puzzles have hounded them; and so on. We are confident that such self-reflection will be illuminating for all of us. \nTo register\, contact Sophie Kofman at skofman@abfn.org.  \n\nDr. Janice Nadler (she/her) is a Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation and the Nathaniel L. Nathanson Professor of Law at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. Before joining the ABF as a Research Professor\, she was an American Bar Foundation Doctoral Fellow from 1998 to 2000.   \nNadler’s scholarship and teaching focuses mainly on the intersection of law and psychology. Her current projects include the influence of emotionally evocative and gruesome visual evidence can have on the psychology of jurors’ decision-making processes\, as well as how public opinion is shaped in reaction to corporate adoption of practices that are the subject of political contestation.   \nHer research has appeared in journals such as Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy\, Journal of Empirical Legal Studies\, and Oxford Handbook on Law and Language.   \n
