Martin Meyerson Berkeley Faculty Research Lecture: Michael Nylan
“The Utility of the Useless: Reflections on History Today”
Lecture by Michael Nylan, Jane K. Sather Chair in the Department of History
Michael Nylan's current work focuses on the political theories and practices of the early empires (323 BC–AD 316), where she finds abundant evidence that the Ancients were “in better shape” than we in the modern world. She teaches courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels on conceptions of the body and body politic, on the environment and environmental ethics, and on the local administration outside the capital, at the county and sub-county level. All these topics she teaches from both received and excavated texts. Her latest books are a mammoth translation of the Documents classic (University of Washington Press, forthcoming) and a co-authored work entitled The Air We Breathe, The World We Want (under review).
Since 1912, the Academic Senate has selected faculty members who are exceptionally distinguished for their scholarly research to serve as the Faculty Research Lecturers. These public events provide a unique opportunity for the campus community to hear from the very people who are transforming knowledge at Berkeley and in our world.
