and also i should mention public books again because in 2012 sharon and katelynn at nyu cofounded public's books and on line magazine that features really great accessible writing by scholars but also other people in the community, activists as well as writers on arts and ideas and it's a great publication. and then all the way over there to my left is eric schwartz my colleague at columbia university press the editorial director and he's the editor of sociology and cognitive science books and runs acquisition department. he's worked at princeton university press in cambridge university press. we have a lot of university presses representative here. i just wanted to start by stating what is university press because some people don't know what makes us different from another publisher either a commercial trade publisher that publishes mostly fiction and general nonfiction you might read but also how would differs from a commercial scholarly publisher. first of all we are not-for-profit organization. that doesn't mean we are --. we are not out to sign up for books that will earn money for th

in the year and a half that we've been around, we've held two events at nyu for climate week. we have published two surveys of local government climate change actions and published a best practice report. in our survey we asked cities about their policies and programs regarding green buildings, both new and existing, green vehicle purchases and city commitment to invest in low carbon energy sources. we took the detailed responses in the survey and today we're making them available on the conference and the alliance's website. every mayor and city staff can now find out what other large, medium and small cities are doing in these areas along with details about the city policies and programs. we also published a best practice report featuring six case studies that provide in-depth information and can serve as a how-to manual for any city who may woman to rant to r that program. that report is right in front of you. some programs include boston mayor's marty walsh's renew boston trust which aims to make as many as 256 municipal facilities more energy and water efficient. mayor sl

he's also a professor of medicine at nyu. there are some phenomenal possibilities here.e of the biggest problems i'm sure you face on a day-to-day basis are government involvement and this top-down bureaucracy that get in the way of patients and doctors interfacing for great healthcare. >> regulations are choking the system right now. i spent twice or three times as much time documenting on a computer than actually sitting and talking to a patient. pharmacy chains are impersonal. i was prescribing a simple cough medicine for someone, i had to call even though i submitted it electronically. i called them and they said you don't exist, doc. we never heard of you. i spent an hour trying to get a poor patient a prescription they needed because they were coughing all night. my 94-year-old father was trying to get a blood pressure medication filled. kennedy: why are they treating patients and doctors like criminals? >> they are not considering us at all. they keep piling on stuff that makes it harder for to us do what we do best. kennedy: there are layers of bureaucracy here.

>> i guess it was -- they had a substantial white paper done by nyu on the number of individuals that were associated with contractors and business entities in the city that were giving and they had given around 25% of all contributions. we have not been able to do the same analysis that was done by a university working with the campaign finance board to complete that. but it seemed to given the sort of similar circumstances between the two cities seemed to be well reasoned. >> is that the same argument for why the threshold for the dollar amount in the contract was raised from 50 to 100? >> we were able to break that down in our analysis based on the reports we had seen and it appeared to us that the $50,000 threshold was capturing potentially -- wasn't capturing a lot of the money, i don't have the specific numbers in front of me, but raising it to the $100,000 threshold reduces the number of affected parties by 100, 120 i think it was. but captured 80% of the money. so we thought it was a substantial amount of the money still captured but not having less sophisticated or the partie

serving director of the nixon library has become a associate professor of history and public history at nyu. he is the co-author of many books but one called khrushchev's cold war. if you are a fan of cnn documentaries, you will recognize him as the star of many of them. i highly recommend to all of you, if you have not read them, the four essays for the panel. they are informative and compelling. i want to begin with mark and begin with the end of his essay, which is a set of conclusions that he draws on jfk's role and behavior in the cuban missile crisis, and most importantly for our conference, to draw out the lessons of jfk's role and behavior in the cuban missile crisis for current issues. after mark, we will turn to tim and he will offer some lessons from the khrushchev russian side. let me turn to mark. mark: good morning to everybody and thank you again for the opportunity to participate in this. looking out in the audience, are many number who have written copious amounts on the cuban missile crisis and i think all thank i think -- and i all of you. i would like to offer some lesso

. >> tucker: steven cohen is professor emeritus of russian studies and politics s at nyu and princetona contributing editor of the nation maybe the most famous russian scholar in the united states. he joins us tonight. professor, thanks for coming on. so, am i missing -- i just want to be absolutely clear because i think this helps inform how we see this investigation. are you aware of any other evidence at all of collusion between the trump campaign and russian government other than the dossier? >> no. none. but, there are two documents that became the foundational sources for the kremlin gate narrative. it was first the steele dossier which surely k informed the so-called intelligence community assessment in january of 2017. we were told that was the judgement of 17 intelligence agencies. it now turns out to have been the judgment of no intelligence agency. just a few guys at the top. that's all that's ever been produced and it's not credible. a >> tucker: what about, we know that dossier was at least part of the rationale few of the warrant that allowed the feds to spy on carter pag

i go to professor christina greer from nyu and teresa mcdonald.art with you christina, there's a lot of -- there's an immediate blow back that will position donald trump defending a military parade and his critics attacking it and that will probably help donald trump. >> we have to remember that we don't have money, if we're using our tax money about this man wanting his own individual parade, but we have to recognize that a lot of this money could go to our military, to our military families. so this is a waste of money. and if we didn't have other data points of this particular president, being one who needs to satisfy self-serving needs, then i don't think the question would be that intense. >> you have to look at why he's doing this, this has nothing to do with president trump himself. he's doing this to showcase the military men and women of this country and the hard work that they do. it's not unreligiasonable to ha parade. they told me this is all about showing the pride and professionalism of the u.s. military and going out there and seein

here is the management professor at nyu school of business, and author of "quirky."o have you with us. talk to us about what makes jeff bezos "quirky" >> he did not meet the criteria -- initially. actually, what i did study of him, he chairs similarities in that he is a big thinker. he wants to make a dent in the universe like elon musk or steve jobs. scarlet: what is the difference between an innovator and a disruptor? is there a difference? >> you can be disruptive without being innovative. it just means the application of new ideas and technologies to something useful. digital technologies disrupted analog technologies. sometimes, innovation is happening in a space where there is not even something to disrupt. at eightu looked breakthrough innovators, like albert einstein, elon musk, mary curie, thomas edison. these are famous names. talk about what connects them. >> it is amazing how much they have in common. felt a sense of social detachment, disconnect from the social world around them. hand, you would think that would make you kind of lonely, but on the other

we have the professor here from nyu and princeton and david sanger ask a national security correspondentthe new york times" and the cnn unusual security contributor. steve cohen, let me ask you. mueller's indictments, of course, are symbolic or meant to persuade none of these people are ever going to see the inside of an american courtroom, they are russians. but i suppose they were meant to convince those americans who doubt that there was, in fact, a systematic russian government effort to interfere with the 2016 elections. you have always been skeptical that there was such a plan, that it was some kind of great crime and it needed to be investigated. are you now convinced? >> absolutely not. let me issue the obligatory disclaimer. i am not, nor i have ever been a supporter of donald trump. but i am supporter of facts. let's remember what this story is. because it's the overarching narrative in which mueller and this investigation operate. according to story, russian leader putin directed kind of an attack, they say, on american democracy in 2016 which included stealing mrs. clinton's

. >> dave rosen, someone i follow on twitter, i believe he's a journalism professor at nyu, tweeted thisy isn't a white house, it's a workplace with a boss and bunch of people that work for him. do you think that there's anything about this white house other than the immense powers that are still attached to the office of the presidency? does any of this look familiar to you? >> no, of course not. it wouldn't look familiar to anybody who ever served in any administration in the modern era. here's the reason why. both parties have elected great presidents and bad presidents. they've elected both parties a couple of presidents at existential moments that decided whether the united states of america would survive. we -- we produced the leaders necessary to make sure that it did. but the country has never before now elected somebody who is so manifestly unfit intellectually, morally, temperamentally, for the office of president of the united states. and by a very thin margin of 78,000 votes across 3 states, donald trump losing the popular vote by 3 million pulled the hat trick and here we ar

"stay woke" is under contract with nyu press and hopefully out by year's end and then closest to me we have carole bell, an assistant professor of communications studies at northeastern university and her research includes that of social media and public attitude and is interested in the role of communication and change, related to group identities, race, sex and she looks at how communication can influence and help to eliminate social divisions. dr. bell's professional experience expands media and marketing and has worked eight years in interactive media development, working with fortune 100 clients on strategy and campaign execution, and with agency management on new business development. and so what we'll do is we'll first start with prove southerly heroic and allow her a chance to give some remarks and then we'll move to professor lopez bunyasi and professor bell and then go in a moderated discussion about race, identity, america and the politics of solidarity and we'll open it up to the audience for questions before wrapping up. thank you. >> good afternoon. thank you, ted, for th

[laughter] >> this is all the creation of a second year law student at nyu. and it start when the supreme court decideed the shelby county case that shot the heart out of the voting rights act of 1965. he was angry about what the court did, and then decided that anger is a useless emotion and she would do something affirmative, something positive. so she created this tumbler that starts with my dissent in the shelby county case, and then she thought about what is the proper name. someone suggested a fellow brooklynite. notorious b. i. g.

the nixon library has become a clinical associate professor of history and also of public service at nyu. he's the co-author among many books, but one particularly pertinent for today's discussion called khrushchev's cold war. and if like me you are a fan of cnn documentaries, you will readily recognize tim as the star of many of them. i highly recommend to you if you haven't read them already, the four essays for this panel. they are all informative. they are very accessible and compelling. and i want to begin with mark and actually begin with the end of his essay, which is a set of conclusions that he draws on jfk's role and behavior in the cuban missile crisis, and most importantly for our conference here over these several days, to draw out the lessons of jfk's role and behavior in the cuban missile crisis for current issues. then after mark does that, we'll turn to tim and he'll offer some lessons as well from the khrushchev side, from the russian side. so with that, let me turn to mark. >> sure. thanks. good morning. good late morning to everybody. thanks again to mel and to will f

now in residence at nyu law school. and our chief legal analyst, dan abrams. nine months into the mueller investigation, he has five guilty pleas. including from the president's former national security adviser. now his deputy campaign chair. new charges filed against paul manafort. could face decades in prison. indicted 13 russian nationals. when you look at all of that, what does it tell you about where mueller is right now? where he's going? >> he's relentless. he's thorough. it tells you he takes very seriously crime related to obstruction. lying. it tells you that given how much surprise there has been every time there's a charge, an indictment, a plea. sometimes with respect to people not on the radar screen, there's a lot we don't know. at any moment, more could happen. we don't know where it's going to lead. >> that's the question about rick gates. how much more information he can give. we've seen from the deal he made. he pled guilty to two counts. could face five to seven years in prison. according to mueller's own lawyers in the courtroom, that coul
