This is an unprecedented year for the Academy of Legal Studies in Business (ALSB) and the world. A worldwide pandemic and powerful protests against racism have upended fundamental norms and values, forcing all of us to ask deep and sometimes uncomfortable questions about ourselves and our future.
The theme of our conference is Managing Disruption. Selection of this as the conference theme has become more relevant than anyone could have imagined. Higher education is facing enormous pressure to adapt to changing circumstances. Legal studies faculty who teach in business schools have an important role to play, and it is my hope that the conference will offer valuable information for attendees from a wide variety of perspectives.

Webinar: Ageism, ableism and the coronavirusILC- UK
Public and government response to the coronavirus has exposed the reality of age discrimination across the world.
Early into the pandemic, COVID-19 was presented as an older person’s issue, a factor which influenced a range of ageist responses from the media, politicians and the public. Ten days before the first UK lockdown, for example, higher mortality among older people from the virus had already resulted in 65,000 mentions of #BoomerRemover on Twitter.
During the pandemic, older people have been portrayed as a burden and “vulnerable”. Across the world, policymakers and public health experts have debated and introduced age- and “risk”-related “lockdowns”, which on the one hand were portrayed as protective, but on the other depicted many older people and disabled people as “vulnerable”. The coronavirus has highlighted the relationship between ageism and ableism.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. Science Ethics & Policy Symposium
From Plants to Privacy:
Science Ethics for the Modern Era
April 8-9, 2022
UC Berkeley

Letter from organizers
Dear SEPS 2022 Attendees,
Welcome to the Science Ethics and Policy Symposium 2022, “From
Plants to Privacy: Science Ethics for the Modern Era!” We are excited to
host you and are grateful for your support and company at our event.
This symposium is a labor of love. Planning SEPS 2022 has taken three
years of (pandemic-delayed) work by our incredible, dedicated team of
volunteer organizers, most of whom are full-time students or scientists
from five different universities. To our volunteers: we appreciate you so
much. We could not have asked for more dynamic, passionate, and
thoughtful individuals with whom to share this experience. Thank you.
Though it was a long journey, we believe the end results were worth the
wait. SEPS 2022 is a one-of-a-kind event, with a number of FIRSTS:
1. For many of us, SEPS 2022 is the first big event we have attended in-
person since the initial pandemic lockdown in March 2020. It is certainly
one of very few large meetings hosted in a hybrid in-person and virtual
format. As we start to move past the worst of the pandemic, we hope
that virtual accessibility remains a priority for future scientific meetings.
2. This is the first event jointly hosted by the Science Policy Groups
(SPGs) at UC Berkeley and UCSF. A highly collaborative effort, SEPS 2022
has over 40 contributing volunteers from a variety of scientific fields,
with members from both SPGs as well as virtual volunteers from
Colorado State University, University of Toronto, and University of San
Francisco. Collaborations across institutions and disciplines are key to
well-rounded science policy/ethics initiatives. We hope this symposium
sparks future partnerships like this one and fosters lasting connections
across the U.S. and internationally.
3. 2
Land acknowledgment
We acknowledge that this symposium is held in Huichin, the ancestral
territory of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people. Acknowledgment is
not enough, while, as settlers, we continue to benefit from the use and
occupation of this land. Therefore, we encourage everyone to learn
about Sogorea Te Land Trust and support the remaining ancestors of
this land by paying the Shuumi Land Tax, a voluntary annual
contribution to support the critical work of the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. If
you live in San Francisco or on the peninsula, we encourage you to
donate to the Yunakin Land Tax to support the work of the Association
of Ramaytush Ohlone people.
3. Finally, SEPS 2022 is the first interdisciplinary science ethics and policy
symposium in the nation. As new technologies rapidly advance beyond
the limits of existing regulation, we must reinvent the way we design
science policy. But before we can begin to draft new regulatory policies,
we must first re-evaluate our own ethical frameworks around modern
science and technology. When science grants us the ability to do nearly
anything, how do we decide to shape that potential? The answer is up to
all of us – scientists, students, community members, and policymakers.
We must decide what values we prioritize in a landscape of seemingly
limitless scientific innovation.
Whether you are new to science policy, ethics, and advocacy, or have
been working tirelessly in these spaces for years, we hope this
symposium offers you personal firsts: a topic you have never explored,
a new colleague with whom to collaborate, or a relevant skill for your
future advocacy efforts. For our part, we hope SEPS 2022 is the first of
many discussions towards meaningful policy for future science.
Sincerely,
Antara Rao (UCSF) and Juliana Chase (UC Berkeley)

Making a Compromise with your Inner Academic: Communicating
Scientific Content to Non-Technical Audiences [CCST]
East Pauley Ballroom (in-person), Zoom (virtual)
Speaker: Colin Murphy, PhD
Science can be an effective tool for creating change in the world, but
bringing knowledge from scientific communities to a non-scientist
audience can be challenging. In this workshop, identify the norms and
behaviors that can hinder meaningful scientific communication, and
learn how to engage with policy makers and the general public.
Science Engagement with Faith Communities [AAAS DoSER]
Tilden Room (in-person), Zoom (virtual)
Speaker: Rob O'Malley, PhD
Faith can be a core element of personal and community identity, and
inform perspectives on science and technology. This interactive
workshop developed by the AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and
Religion (DoSER) program explores how culture, religion, and spirituality
are critical considerations for inclusive public engagement with science.
Communicating Uncertainty as Scientists
82D (in-person), Zoom (virtual)
Speaker: Ramya Rajagopalan, PhD
Doing science is a non-linear endeavor, and uncertainty along the way is
not a bug but a feature. How can scientists effectively communicate
what they think they know without over-simplifying or omitting
information? Learn about different types and sources of uncertainty,
why ignoring uncertainty in science communication is self-defeating,
and practical strategies for fostering productive public dialogue around
the unknown.

Communicating with Policy Makers: Writing Effective White Papers
82A (in-person), Zoom (virtual)
Speaker: Katy Christiansen, PhD
The white paper is one of the best tools of the trade for science policy -
used to present new ideas, distill the essence of a conversation, and
promote collaboration. It’s a clear and concise document that can be
understood by specialists and non-experts alike, and builds consensus
on high impact topics. In this session, review a sample white paper and
practice writing a captivating opening paragraph.

Negotiation in Science Policy [CCST]
East Pauley Ballroom (in-person), Zoom (virtual)
Speaker: Grayson Doucette, PhD
Reaching agreement on contentious issues is a critical professional skill
in any science policy career. Learn about evaluating the landscape of a
policy issue, how to prepare for negotiations, techniques to use during
negotiation, as well as an opportunity to practice. Participants will also
speak with scientists currently working in policy to get advice on
negotiating, hear about real-world examples of negotiation, and
discover additional resources to continue developing negotiating skills.

SPG at UCSF has a history of organizing large-scale events focused on advocacy
and community education. In the past two years, we have hosted the last SF
District Attorney Debate and a CRISPR ethics documentary screening that each
garnered an audience of over 200 attendees. At the start of the COVID-19
pandemic, SPG at UCSF initiated a “Clean Hands” mutual aid project, where we
raised over $60,000 and personally manufactured and donated hand sanitizer
to COVID-19-vulnerable populations, including approximately half of
California’s incarcerated population, public housing communities, and the
Navajo Nation. From a “Hard Questions” series that discussed controversial
topics like artificial intelligence and defunding the police to a “Civic
Engagement” series that trained scientists to interact with lawmakers in
Sacramento, SPG at UCSF has regularly provided development opportunities
and tools for scientists to actively engage with science policy and advocacy.
About our Science Policy Groups
Science Policy Group at Berkeley
Science Policy Group at UCSF
SPG at Berkeley has a commitment to engage and educate early-career
scientists in policy and science communication. In 2019-2020 SPG at UCB
hosted a Science Meets Science series of public forums and policy roundtables
on pressing issues in science and technology, with over 150 unique attendees,
resulting in two published policy memos. The STEMvotes initiative mobilizes
STEM students to vote in elections and educates the UC Berkeley community
on local ballot measures through a biennial Voter Information Night. SPG at
UCB engages in local and federal policies routinely, supporting the UC Berkeley
Government & Community Relations office to crowdsource and amplify the
stories of UC Berkeley F-1 and M-1 visa holders when targeted by proposed ICE
policies in 2020, advocating against the proposed graduate student tax in 2017,
and traveling to Sacramento and Washington, D.C. Our members have
published extensively on policy issues including gene editing, electric vehicles,
K-12 education, STEM voting, plastic waste, and many of UCB SPG alumni now
work in science policy, from the US Foreign Service and the Bipartisan Policy
Center, to the National Academies, including five current/former AAAS Science
& Technology Policy fellows.
