Dyson Professor Seong Jae Min writes an op-ed in The Korea Times about polarization in Korea.
I came back to Korea after a long time abroad, and one of the most visible issues that I notice in Korean society today is that of polarization. Polarization generally refers to the splitting of society into conflicting groups such as rich and poor, old and young, and urban and rural, which this rapidly growing and competitive country has experienced quite a good deal over the years. But what makes today’s polarization particularly challenging is its scope and nature. The type of divisiveness Koreans are experiencing now is what some scholars call “affective polarization,” where in-group members exhibit animosity toward out-group members. And it seems to be widespread across Korean society.

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professor Bennett Gershman speaks with Salon about how former Trump lawyers could face “disbarment” and “possibly be jailed” over court stunts.
“Trump’s lawyers are perilously close to being sanctioned once again and more heavily by Judge Engoron for their misconduct,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at Pace University, told Salon. “They are behaving in manifest bad faith by intentionally delaying and obstructing the proceedings and deliberately creating a spectacle to promote Trump's fundraising. Lawyers in any legal proceeding foresee an appeal if they lose and try to make a complete and proper record for appellate review.”

In a geometric sense, plating in odd numbers creates a line that the eye feels drawn to follow. One study by Terence Hines of Pace University found that odd numbers are literally more thought-provoking than even numbers. Hines displayed two numbers on a screen and asked participants to press a button only when the numbers were either both even, or both odd. On average, it took participants 20% longer to press the button when both numbers were odd, as it took the brain longer to process them.

Municipalities use local-level land use law for a variety of purposes. The Land Use Law Center at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University (the Center), in 2022, engaged in a project to analyze how municipalities are using their land use powers to advance the various goals of climate resilient development (CRD). The Center produced a set of guidelines for analyzing municipal CRD strategies (PDF) by answering the following questions: 1. What CRD objectives does this strategy achieve, 2. What methods are there to ensure resilience, 3. What methods are there to avoid maladaptation, and 4. What is the feasibility of this strategy? These focus areas are borrowed from the Summary for Policymakers in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Working Group II Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, which featured CRD as one of the proposed solutions.
