Litigating Corporate Purpose: Climate Change & the Courts 12:00pm 2/13
Litigating Corporate Purpose: Climate Change & the Courts
Thursday, February 13th, 2025
12:00 PM - 01:15 PM
Abstract
Registrants will receive a copy of the paper prior to the event.
Since the advent of corporate personhood, there has been a debate about whether the corporation’s underlying purpose is to maximize shareholder wealth or, otherwise, to make decisions for the betterment of, among others, its employees, customers, and the environment. This paper analyses the role that courts—particularly in common law jurisdictions—can play to fashion a more expansive corporate purpose that extends beyond the traditional notion of shareholder wealth maximization. The first in a series of papers that will consider various topics around ‘litigating corporate purpose’, this paper zeroes in on climate change and how courts are not just a possible avenue to affirm a more socially-conscious corporate purpose, but a necessary one given the continued absence of meaningful legislation or multilateral treaty-based efforts to curtail corporate climate impacts.
Focusing on Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and recent Dutch litigation against Shell, this paper advocates for ‘judicial climate governance’, which is the ability for courts to lay the grooves for future corporate behaviour in a way that will mitigate and even reverse climate impacts. Judicial decisions cannot per se alter corporate purpose from a shareholder maximization model to a broader stakeholder model. But, judicial decisions can require corporations to compensate stakeholders for harm incurred from climate-related impacts. Such decisions can, in turn, cajole corporations to promulgate more climate-friendly policies with the knowledge that inordinate greenhouse gas emissions may result in extensive—and even debilitating—compensatory awards from the courts.About the Speaker

Encounters: 100% Democracy - The Case for Universal Voting 10:00am 2/15
Encounters: 100% Democracy - The Case for Universal Voting
Saturday, February 15th, 2025
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Connecticut’s Old State House
When it comes to voting, the United States lags behind other democracies, with barely over half of all eligible voters participating in most major elections. The 2024 presidential election saw around 64% of voter turnout, and smaller local elections saw even lower numbers. Meanwhile, twenty-six countries around the world require all eligible voters to participate in elections by law. Australia, for instance, has required citizens to cast a ballot since 1924 and had over 90% voter turnout in their last major election. Some advocates around the United States are calling for ’100% Democracy’, or universal voting.
This is an election process where every eligible citizen has the right to vote and full opportunities to do so—but also the duty to vote, a requirement to participate in our national choices. If Americans must pay taxes and serve on juries, why not require every eligible American to vote as well? Could this be the next step in our great democratic experiment? How would universal voting work in our country? And what would be the results? Join us for an informed and collaborative exploration of these critical and fascinating questions!
Encounters programs dive deep into subjects through facilitated, small-group dialogues followed by a question-and-answer style conversation with University faculty and community partners. Resources are provided beforehand to encourage informed and informal dialogue. The aim is to develop a forum for respectful and challenging dialogue. Coffee and lunch will be provided.

Encounters: Freedom, Facts, and Filters - A Dialogue on Misinformation
Wednesday, February 19th, 2025
04:00 PM - 06:00 PM
Wilbur Cross
Living in the ever-changing “Information Age,” it is impossible to disregard the substantial effect social media has had on the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and data in the modern world. But not all information is reliable. Social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X afford their users unparalleled freedom of speech, but in doing so allow for and often encourage the spread of misinformation. In 2024, Pew Research Center found that just over half (54%) of Americans use social media for news coverage. As social media increasingly shapes how we access information on critical issues and current events, it’s essential to reflect on our relationship with these platforms and critically evaluate the reliability of the information they present.
What can we do to ensure the information we receive from social media is reliable? How should freedom of speech function in these digital spaces? Who is accountable to answer these questions, and what is the responsibility of social media companies, the government and the public?
We invite students, faculty, and staff to join us in a small table facilitated dialogue where these questions and more will be explored as we seek to find “truth” in our complex and increasingly digital world.
Dinner will be provided
This dialogue is organized by the Democracy & Dialogues Initiative Student Fellows

We welcome you to join us over lunch in Conference Room 162 of The Dodd Center for Human Rights. Simply register below.
Abstract
Studies about port cities in the Global South extensively discuss their development and planning during the colonial, postcolonial and neo-liberal periods. Some of them focus on the development and uniformity of infrastructure in urban spaces across the world. However, the many contentions and protests that shape postcolonial urban spaces in relation to race, caste, gender and environmental issues find little space in urban studies scholarship. Filling this gap, my research on the Indian subcontinent’s port city of Kochi takes into account of people’s struggles and belonging with the water-world as crucial to shaping and sustaining postcolonial port cities. I demonstrate these struggles as efforts to democratize the otherwise deeply segregated and hierarchical urban space on the basis of caste and gender, as well as championing the need to preserve the seashores and marine life for our collective eco-futures. Specifically, I illustrate an island community’s struggles to preserve their marine ecology in the port city of Kochi. Their protests, actively led by women from the caste-oppressed shore communities, demonstrate embodied and decolonial ways of being in the saline and fresh water worlds that surround them. The women protestors reinstate the peripherized islands’ geographical prominence along with the need to protect the seashores, not only for their life on the delicate coastal land but also for the wider land systems that thrive in rhythm with the water-world.
About the Speaker
Carmel Christy K J is a cultural studies scholar interested in the politics and affective manifestations of gender, environment, caste and urban space in South Asia. She is an Assistant Professor of Journalism at Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi. Currently, she is a postdoctoral research associate at the Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute, University of Connecticut. She has published on the intersectionality of caste, gender and environmental justice in South Asia, the interrelationship between land, caste and gender; caste bias in Indian higher educational institutions as well as on displacement, religion and urban space-making in India. Her first book Sexuality and Public Space in India: Reading the Visible (Routledge, 2017) discusses the new-found hyper-visibility of women’s sexuality in Indian media, after the 1990s-globalization, through the lens of caste. Carmel is working on her next monograph Fading shores, forging life: Caste, gender and ecology in a South Asian port city about urban space-making in coastal India which examines the question of gender, caste, spatial and environmental justice.Contact Information:

Reservoirs of the Imaginary
Wednesday, February 26th, 2025
02:00 PM - 03:30 PM
Homer Babbidge Library
About this Event
Reflecting on three key projects from the past 30 years artist Liam Gillick will talk about his work related to subjects as varied as the secret life of Robert McNamara, car production in Sweden in the 1970s, and the impossibility of tragedy as genre on streaming platforms. All his work has in one way or another drawn inspiration from post World War II attempts to create new forms of administration in regard to human relationships.
About the Speaker
Liam Gillick works across diverse forms, including installation, video and sound. A theorist, curator and educator as well as an artist, his wider body of work includes published essays and texts, lectures, curatorial and collaborative projects. Gillick’s work reflects upon conditions of production in a post-industrial landscape including the aesthetics of economy, labour and social organization. His work exposes the dysfunctional aspects of a modernist legacy in terms of abstraction and architecture when framed within a globalized, neo-liberal consensus, and extends into structural rethinking of the exhibition as a form. He has produced a number of short films since the late 2000s which address the construction of the creative persona in light of the enduring mutability of the contemporary artist as a cultural figure. Margin Time (2012) The Heavenly Lagoon (2013) and Hamilton: A Film by Liam Gillick (2014). The book Industry and Intelligence: Contemporary Art Since 1820 was published by Columbia University Press in March 2016.
Gillick’s work has been included in numerous important exhibitions including documenta and the Venice, Berlin, Shanghai and Istanbul Biennales - representing Germany in 2009 in Venice. Solo museum exhibitions have taken place at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Tate in London. Gillick’s work is held in many important public collections including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Guggenheim Museum in New York and Bilbao and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Over the last twenty five years Gillick has also been a prolific writer and critic of contemporary art – contributing to Artforum, October, Frieze and e-flux Journal. He is the author of a number of books including a volume of his selected critical writing. High profile public works include the British Government Home Office (Interior Ministry) building in London and the Lufthansa Headquarters in Frankfurt. Throughout this time Gillick has extended his practice into experimental venues and collaborative projects with artists including Philippe Parreno, Lawrence Weiner, Louise Lawler, Adam Pendleton and the band New Order, in a series of concerts in Manchester, Turin and Vienna.Sponsors

Encounters: Political Activism in 1860…and 2025 6:00pm 2/27
Encounters: Political Activism in 1860…and 2025
Thursday, February 27th, 2025
06:00 PM - 08:00 PM
Connecticut Museum of Culture and History
What does it mean to be politically engaged? How do political action and freedom of speech shape our society? In 1860, amidst deep political divisions and fears of civil war, five young men from Hartford, Connecticut, formed a campaign organization that grew into a nationwide movement, ultimately helping to elect Abraham Lincoln. The bold and creative activism of the “Wide Awakes”—many of whom were too young to vote—raises questions that remain strikingly relevant today.
A new exhibit at the Connecticut Museum brings the story of the Wide Awakes to life through rare artifacts and documents from the museum’s collection. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve deeper into this history through facilitated conversations and a Q&A session with guest scholars and activists. The artifacts serve as a lens to explore how Americans in the past grappled with free speech, democracy, and political conflict, sparking connections to contemporary civic engagement.
The program will begin at 6:00 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm, so please come early to browse the Museum galleries and share a light meal before the program begins!

Working People & Economic Rights: Understanding the Stakes for Labor 5:00pm 3/6
Working People & Economic Rights: Understanding the Stakes for Labor
Thursday, March 6th, 2025
05:00 PM - 06:30 PM
Schenker Lecture Hall
About the 2025 Economic & Social Rights Conference
Growing inequality since the 1990s has coincided with several system “shocks” that have deepened the precarity of working people around the world and in the US, particularly. This includes the global financial crises of 1997, 2008-9, and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2019-2020. Accompanying these global shocks has been a steady erosion of labor union power in many advanced industrial countries, catalyzed by widespread de-regulation of product, labor and capital markets. Counter to this trajectory, however, are the emergence of the Worker Driven Social Responsibility Movement in the 2010s (which has pushed for worker-designed contractual agreements in global supply chains) along with the rise of renewed union militancy in the post-pandemic moment, leading to expansive collective agreements in the North American auto industry. This ESRG Workshop focuses on the prospects for workers amidst democratic backsliding in the United States and beyond. How will labor fare and why?
