SUMMARY:Economics and Culture  2018 Annual Conference by NYU Development Research Institute\, NYU Africa House\, and the C.V. Starr Center for Applied Economics at NYU
DESCRIPTION:  \nNew York University\nKimmel Center\, Rosenthal Pavilion (10th Floor)\n60 Washington Square South\nNew York\, NY 10012 \nOverview:\nThere has been increasing interest over the last decade in understanding the role of culture in shaping development outcomes. The push has come from many directions: from studying economic history\, from the institutions and growth literature\, from political economy\, and more recently from a literature that has explicitly tried to measure dimensions of culture and their evolution and their impact on economic interactions and on the process of development. Culture\, defined loosely as shared ideas\, customs\, and social behavior\, is from the perspective of economics a deeply endogenous variable\, in other words\, something that is determined through a history of economic\, social\, and political interaction. At the same time\, once a culture forms\, it acquires its own valence\, shaping the way individuals interact\, transact\, and aggregate into a process of growth. \nConference Program: \nMCs: Rajeev Dehejia\, (New York University)\, and Yaw Nyarko\, (New York University) \n8:00am–9:00am Registration\, coffee\, and pastries \n9:00am–9:05am DRI welcome remarks by Rajeev Dehejia\, (New York University) \n9:05am-9:10am Introductory remarks by Yanoula Athanassakis\, Associate Vice Provost\, Academic Affairs and Special Projects; Director\, Environmental Humanities Initiative\, (New York University) \n9:10am–9:50am Nathan Nunn\, (Harvard University). “The Importance of Culture and Context for Development Policy“ \n9:50am–10:30am Enrico Spolaore\, (Tufts University). “Modern Fertility” \n10:30am–10:45am Break with coffee and pastries \n10:45am–11:25am William Easterly\, (New York University). “Does Ethnicity Predict Culture?“ \n11:25am–12:05pm Raquel Fernandez\, (New York University). “Cultural Change” \n12:05pm–12:45pm Alberto Bisin\, (New York University). “The Joint Dynamics of Culture and Institutions“ \n12:45pm–1:45pm Lunch for audience and speakers \n1:45pm–2:25pm Gerard Roland\, (University of California\, Berkeley). “The Deep Historical Roots of Modern Culture”

SUMMARY:Roundtable conversation moderated by Pamela Newkirk\, with Paula Giddings\, Shola Lynch\,  Louise Greaves\, sculptor Richard Hunt\, and Michelle Duster\, great granddaughter of Ida B. Wells
DESCRIPTION:Though virtually forgotten today\, Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a household name in Black America during much of her lifetime (1863-1931) and was considered the equal of her well-known African American contemporaries such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice (1989\, 55 min) by filmmaker William Greaves retells the dramatic life and turbulent times of the pioneering African American journalist\, activist\, suffragist and anti-lynching crusader of the post-Reconstruction period. Wells’ great-granddaughter Michelle Duster is working with the Ida B. Wells Commemorative Art Committee to memorialize Wells in bronze. The monumental artwork will be located at 37th and Langley in Bronzeville\, the Chicago neighborhood where she once lived\, worked\, and raised her family. The central sculpture will be created by sculptor Richard Hunt.

SUMMARY:"Alufa Rufino\, A Man of Faith and Sorcery on the Periphery of Islam."
DESCRIPTION:João Reis\, Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil\n\n\nBrazil\, and particularly Bahia\, was arguably the destination of most African Muslims deported from West Africa to the Americas on board slave ships during the first half of the nineteenth century. They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems.

They were mainly Hausas\, Nupes\, and Yorubas who\, once in Brazil\, were involved in several slave revolts. This is a well-known story. What is less well-known is that parallel to this militant Islam\, there were other\, more accommodationist forms of Islam that also flourished among African slaves and freed people in Brazil. This lecture is about a man who represented  this form of Islam. A devout Muslim\, Abuncare (a.k.a\, Rufino José Maria) nonetheless dedicated himself to divination and other unorthodox practices that he learned in Africa and either reproduced in Brazil or adapted to Brazilian belief systems. \n  \nAbout the speaker: \n  \nJoão José Reis received his PhD in History from the University of Minnesota and is currently a Professor of History at the Universidade Federal de Bahia (UFBA) in Brazil.
