SUMMARY:Progressive and Jew: Rereading Sartre in Light of Today’s Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:ISCA: Contemporary Antisemitism \n\n\n\nJean-Paul Sartre’s 1944\, Anti-Semite and Jew\, focuses on four protagonists. In addition to two groups of Jews\, namely\, the authentic and the inauthentic Jew\, Sartre introduces the Anti-Semite and the Democrat. While Sartre’s essay was written against the backdrop of WWII\, many of his insights are neither limited nor confined to that particular time and place and\, indeed\, have a relevance that applies to our own time and place. The talk\, a part of a larger project\, will position today’s progressives and their relationship to Jews within the context of Sartre’s observations. \n\n\n\nProfessor Oren Gross is the Irving Younger Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School. He is an internationally recognized expert in the areas of international law and national security law. Professor Gross holds an LL.B. degree magna cum laude from Tel Aviv University\, and LL.M. and S.J.D. degrees from Harvard Law School. He has taught and held visiting positions at Harvard Law School and Princeton University. He is the author of numerous articles and two award winning books and is a member of the American Law Institute. Between 1986 and 1991\, Professor Gross served as a senior legal advisory officer in the international law branch of the Israeli Defense Forces’ Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

SUMMARY:Israel Between War and Peace: An Attempt at Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Cary Nelson is the Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts & Sciences Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His 35 authored or edited books include Our Last First Poets: Vision and History in Contemporary American Poetry (1981)\, Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture (1987)\, Higher Education Under Fire: Politics\, Economics\, and the Crisis of the Humanities (1994)\, Revolutionary Memory: Recovering the Poetry of the American Left (2001)\, Office Hours: Activism and Change in the Academy (2004)\, No University is an Island: Saving Academic Freedom (2010)\, The Case Against Academic Boycotts of Israel (2015)\, Dreams Deferred: A Concise Guide to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Movement to Boycott Israel (2016)\, Israel Denial: Anti-Zionism\, Anti-Semitism\, and the Faculty Campaign Against the Jewish State (2019)\, Not in Kansas Anymore: Academic Freedom in Palestinian Universities (2021)\, and Peace and Faith: Christian Churches and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (2021). Cary served as President of the American Association of University Professors for six years. \n\n\n\nThis talk is part of a two-part series by the CSI Chapter of PSC-CUNY. The first part will be given by The Edward Said Professor of History at Columbia University\, Rashid Khalidi. Unfortunately\, there will not be an open discussion between Professors Khalidi and Nelson because Professor Khalidi specified that he would not participate in a discussion with a speaker opposing the boycott of Israel. We at CAFI support informed discussion and therefore provide links to two talks on YouTube given by Cary Nelson so that you can listen to a different point of view without waiting a week to hear Cary Nelson talk. These talks are: Academic freedom in Palestinian universities? and “Does Academic Freedom Protect Antisemitism?”

SUMMARY:TAU joint seminar CUNY Energy Institute
DESCRIPTION:LITHIUM BATTERIES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE\n\n\n\nEmanuel Peled \n\n\n\nProfessor Emeritus of Chemistry at Tel-Aviv University\, received his Ph.D. degree (Summa cum laude) in physical chemistry from the Hebrew University. He is the inventor and developer of the Solid-Electrolyte-Interphase (SEI) model for nonaqueous alkali-metal batteries. He pioneered the development of several electrochemical systems including: lithium/sulfur battery\, nanoporous proton-conducting membrane\, a direct methanol fuel cell\, a hydrogen tribromide regenerative fuel cell and developed low-cost core-shell nanosize platinum-based catalysts. He supervised more than 70 graduate and post-doctoral students. Emanuel Peled was a co-founder of three energy-related startup companies. He has been awarded Electrochemical Society Battery Division Research\, the Landau Research\, the International Battery Associations (IBA)\, the Israel Chemical Society Outstanding Scientist Awards and the Award of Commander of MAFAT (Israel MOD)\, and the Samson-Prime Ministry Prize for Innovation in Alternative Fuels and Smart Mobility . He was elected Fellow of the Electrochemical Society and of the International Society of Electrochemistry. \n\n\n\nElectrical-energy storage is becoming an important element of the electricity infrastructure of the future\, especially for wind and solar farms. Energy-storage technologies available for large-scale applications are divided into five categories: mechanical\, thermal\, electrical\, chemical\, and electrochemical. In Israel\, the existing energy storage is dominated by pumped hydroelectric systems located in: Gilboa\, Cochav Hayarden and Zuk Manara. In 2050\, Israel will need 150 – 250 GWh storage (today only 0.3GWh)\, requiring over 1000 tons of lithium-ion batteries. The cost of high energy storage follows the order: compressed air<pumped hydro<lithium-ion batteries. The requirements for electric-vehicle (EV) batteries are: high volumetric- and gravimetric-energy density\, high power\, low cost <$100/kWh (preferably< 50)\, long life (over ten years or 5000 cycles)\, safe systems\, low maintenance\, and fast charging (preferably less than half an hour). Lithium-ion batteries are featured with all these demands except for the cost. The lithium-metal/sulfur battery has the lowest cost of materials and the only one that meets the energy-storage goals. Anode-free lithium-metal batteries (AFLMB) are expected to have 20% lower cost of materials in comparison with lithium-ion batteries using the same cathode. Their challenges are cycle life and safety. Recently\, with the use of nanotechnology\, we were able to increase the cycle life of AFLMBs by 300%. This strategy slows cell drying also produces smoother solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). So far we run (at C/10 and C/5) our AFLMBs for about 2\,000 cycles (100% DOD) with no visible internal short. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOWARDS SMART FLEXIBLE BATTERIES\n\n\n\nDiana Golodnitsky \n\n\n\nProfessor of Chemistry and The Raymond and Beverly Sackler Chair in Chemistry and Energy Sciences at Tel Aviv University. She received a MSc and PhD (Summa cum laude) from Karpov Physicochemical Scientific Research Institute\, Moscow\, and State Technological University\, Kazan\, USSR\, where she studied fundamental electrochemistry\, and electrodeposition and electroforming of metals and alloys. Her current work is focused on the investigation of mechanisms controlling interfacial energy barriers in composite materials\, 3D flexible and free-form-factor printed batteries. Diana Golodnitsky has about 150 publications in peer-reviewed journals and 19 patents. She is a co-founder\, together with Prof. Peled\, Prof. Patolsky and Prof. Natan\, of three startup companies. Prof. Golodnitsky is a Fellow of Electrochemical Society\, a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry\, the President of Israel Electrochemical Society\, and a Board Member of the Israel National Research Centre for Electrochemical Propulsion (INREP). \n\n\n\nThe focus on shifting towards miniaturized products coupled with the booming demand for consumer electronics are some of the key-driving factors behind the flexible-battery market. In the development of innovative power sources\, free from design limitation along with the synthesis of reliable electrochemical materials with well-tuned features\, is considered to be the most important technical prerequisite.A novel approach for the fabrication of flexible free form-factor batteries\, which utilizes printing techniques will be presented. These technologies are still at an early stage\, and most currently-printed batteries exploit printed electrodes sandwiching self-standing commercial polymer membranes\, produced by conventional extrusion or papermaking techniques\, followed by soaking in non-aqueous liquid electrolytes. We suggest a novel flexible-battery design and report the initial results of development and characterization of novel 3D printed all-solid-state electrolytes prepared by fused-filament fabrication (FFF). The electrolytes are composed of LiTFSI\, polyethylene oxide (PEO)\, which is a known lithium-ion conductor\, and polylactic acid (PLA) for enhanced mechanical properties and high-temperature durability. These results pave the way for a fully printed solid battery\, which enables free-form-factor flexible geometries.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism and the Contemporary American Left
DESCRIPTION:ISCA: Contemporary Antisemitism Event \n\n\n\nUniversity Campuses\, Black Lives Matter\, the Women’s March – many political mobilizations have in the past years been associated with antisemitism in progressive movements. Based on an empirical study\, This presentation will argue that on the left\, antisemitism is an “invisible prejudice”: It is often not acknowledged and is sometimes expressed in coded forms. The reasons can be found both in theoretical and historical traditions as well as in current socio-political conditions. \n\n\n\nDr. Sina Arnold is a senior lecturer and researcher at the Center for Research on Antisemitism and the Research Institute Social Cohesion at Technische Universität Berlin\, Germany. A social anthropologist\, her current work focuses on contemporary antisemitism in Germany and the United States\, memory politics\, migration and racism\, and (post-)national identities. She is the author of “Das unsichtbare Vorurteil. Antisemitismus Diskurse in der US-amerikanischen Linken“ (2016) and “From Occupation to Occupy. An Empirical Study of Antisemitism Discourses in the Contemporary US Left“ (forthcoming with Indiana University Press).
