![An Airline Odyssey with Maurice Gallagher
A version of this video with audio description track is available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJGSQzLGWb0
Airline entrepreneurship affects how travelers access low-cost leisure travel and how companies create value in a changing industry. Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., chair of Allegiant Travel Company and a UC Davis alumnus, explains how deregulation, innovation, and calculated risk shape growth in commercial aviation. Gallagher examines airline deregulation in the late 1970s, the rise of ticketless travel, and Allegiant’s leisure-focused, low-cost model, helping clarify how an airline can succeed by serving a distinct niche. He explains why resilience and adaptability matter in a turbulent industry and points toward entrepreneurship as a way to rethink air travel.

![Is This Your Only Life?
Embodiment affects how we understand personhood, moral status, and whether this life is our only life. Mark Johnston, Henry Putnam University Professor, Princeton University, explains how competing theories of mind and matter shape the question of whether a will could have an embodiment other than its present one. Johnston examines the failures of functionalism, reductive and non-reductive materialism, and strong emergence, along with the role of will, awareness, and evolved animal life, helping clarify what embodiment really is. He explains why the will matters for moral respect and points toward the possibility that embodiment may not be limited to a single life. Recorded on 03/11/2026. [Show ID: 41446]

![The Times of Possibility
Legal scholar Annabel Brett explores the idea of “moral possibility”—the boundary between what laws demand and what people can realistically or ethically be expected to do. Drawing from early modern thinkers like Aquinas, Suarez, and Hobbes, Brett shows how moral impossibility has long shaped debates about legal obligation, resistance, and political agency. Commentators Melissa Lane and David Dyzenhaus join the discussion, examining how this concept applies to everything from climate action and military conscription to unjust regimes and democratic norms. Together, they highlight how institutions, customs, and time shape the space between legal duty and human capacity—and why recognizing this gap is vital to both justice and legitimacy.

![“My Droplet of Fate Reflects the Jewish Ocean”: The Legacy of Béla Pásztor
In the early 20th century, Budapest was the second-largest Jewish city in Europe, and Jewish artists and intellectuals played a major role in the city’s cosmopolitan cultural life. Among them was theater and cinema director and producer Béla Pásztor, whose career was marked by early success and later oppression. In a conversation with UC San Diego history professor Deborah Hertz, Béla’s son, Rafael Pastor, explores his family’s history before, during, and after the Nazi occupation of Hungary, including his parents’ emigration to Israel, where he was born.
In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the deportations and annihilations of Hungarian Jews in 1944, which Béla survived in hiding, the conversation is preceded by a brief historical overview and survivor testimonies of this harrowing—and unforgettable—tragedy. [Show ID: 40227]
