They are closely intertwined \, forming life experiences that anyone may have gone through at certain s tages of life.\n\nYanni’s “pains” approach the body and society thro ugh a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on b odies\, individuals\, and collective spaces through research into the Thre e Gorges Dam\, the Dashilar redevelopment\, and the contemporary persisten ce of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body\, so metimes through the mind\, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit tog ether.\n\nThe “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships\, and the subtle proc ess of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life\, its poig nancy\, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into fe eling\, and feeling into visual language.\n\nUltimately\, Ruotong and Yann i seek a space for emotional autonomy and feeling\, for themselves\, and f or the viewer.

They are closely intertwined \, forming life experiences that anyone may have gone through at certain s tages of life.\n\nYanni’s “pains” approach the body and society thro ugh a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on b odies\, individuals\, and collective spaces through research into the Thre e Gorges Dam\, the Dashilar redevelopment\, and the contemporary persisten ce of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body\, so metimes through the mind\, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit tog ether.\n\nThe “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships\, and the subtle proc ess of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life\, its poig nancy\, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into fe eling\, and feeling into visual language.\n\nUltimately\, Ruotong and Yann i seek a space for emotional autonomy and feeling\, for themselves\, and f or the viewer.

Landscape is explored as a perpe tual task of moving objects and adapting to an environment that often feel s foreign. Space is continuously brought to life and altered by ongoing dw elling and physical work inside and outside of the gallery. Through the ev er-growing gesture of collecting materials\, and arranging them into a hoa rd or hoarding structure as temporary shed-like construction.

Rather than perfect balance\ , the exhibitors understand temperance as the ability to hold opposing for ces at once. As young artists\, Isabella Veckerelli\, Kaia Miller\, and Mo lly Nowlan (all B.F.A. ’29) feel this tension intimately. They have chos en to study and pursue the things they are most passionate about\, while s imultaneously learning how to build futures that feel successful\, sustain able\, and secure.\n\nIn a world governed by practicality and achievement\ , committing to art can feel both liberating and strangely uncertain. They are constantly negotiating between creating for the sake of creation and questioning where that passion will take them.\n\nThrough sculpture\, work s on paper\, and sound\, the exhibition becomes a reflection of their own experience: trying to remain grounded while wanting to break free\, pursui ng their passions while planning their futures\, and learning how to exist somewhere between the two. Perhaps temperance is not finding balance\, bu t learning to live within the tension of never fully having it.

What is a myth\, if not a story worn so often it star ts to feel like fact? This exhibition asks what happens when that story co nfronts its own contradictions: when American myths are pressed up against the labor\, land\, histories\, and people that make them wearable in the first place. Visitors move through the exhibition the way a newcomer might \, from idyllic first impressions toward a more complicated understanding of America.\n\nThey arrive in search of freedom\, clutching onto a dream c urated in their mind before they arrive at our front door\, passing throug h the country’s most familiar archetypes—the pioneer\, the patriot\, t he self-made success—before those images complicate and unravel. What em erges is a more contested\, more nuanced America than its emblems let on —one stitched with the visitors' own cultures and identities. A complex and ever-changing culture\, imbued with stories whispered through the wall s as people have come and gone. This exhibition brings together garments s elected by different curators to show how American dress expresses\, creat es\, obscures\, and ultimately remakes the myths the country tells about i tself.\n\nCuratorial Argument: Approaching America reveals how individuals encounter\, challenge\, and reshape the myths that define America.\n\nCom bined Themes \nMade in the USA\nMade by whom\, under what conditions\, and at what cost?\nTraditional Americana\, national symbols\, craft and produ ction\, labor\, material\, industry\, and the construction of an “Americ an-made” identity.\nImagining the American Hero\nWho gets turned into an American archetype? \nPatriotism\, heroism\, celebrity and stardom\, glam our\, aspiration\, and the figures through whom American ideals and dreams become visible and wearable.\nRedefining the frontier \nWhere and what is the “frontier\,” and whose history does that mythology depend upon?\n Expansion\, exploration\, reinvention\, and the point at which idealized n ational myths begin to encounter the histories and people they obscure.\nW earing America: A dissenting identity \nWho gets to wear American identity against dominant meanings?\nProtest\, subcultures\, resistance\, alternat ive identities\, and dress as a means of challenging the ideals establishe d in the earlier sections.\nSelf-made \nWho gets to claim self-invention\, and what does the myth conceal?\nSuccess\, individualism\, aspiration\, c lass/mobility\, entrepreneurship\, but also the possibility of remaking “America” through one’s own identity and experience.

They are closely intertwined \, forming life experiences that anyone may have gone through at certain s tages of life.\n\nYanni’s “pains” approach the body and society thro ugh a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on b odies\, individuals\, and collective spaces through research into the Thre e Gorges Dam\, the Dashilar redevelopment\, and the contemporary persisten ce of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body\, so metimes through the mind\, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit tog ether.\n\nThe “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships\, and the subtle proc ess of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life\, its poig nancy\, its quiet emotional weight.

Rather than perfect balance\ , the exhibitors understand temperance as the ability to hold opposing for ces at once. As young artists\, Isabella Veckerelli\, Kaia Miller\, and Mo lly Nowlan (all B.F.A. ’29) feel this tension intimately. They have chos en to study and pursue the things they are most passionate about\, while s imultaneously learning how to build futures that feel successful\, sustain able\, and secure.\n\nIn a world governed by practicality and achievement\ , committing to art can feel both liberating and strangely uncertain. They are constantly negotiating between creating for the sake of creation and questioning where that passion will take them.\n\nThrough sculpture\, work s on paper\, and sound\, the exhibition becomes a reflection of their own experience: trying to remain grounded while wanting to break free\, pursui ng their passions while planning their futures\, and learning how to exist somewhere between the two.

What is a myth\, if not a story worn so often it star ts to feel like fact? This exhibition asks what happens when that story co nfronts its own contradictions: when American myths are pressed up against the labor\, land\, histories\, and people that make them wearable in the first place. Visitors move through the exhibition the way a newcomer might \, from idyllic first impressions toward a more complicated understanding of America.\n\nThey arrive in search of freedom\, clutching onto a dream c urated in their mind before they arrive at our front door\, passing throug h the country’s most familiar archetypes—the pioneer\, the patriot\, t he self-made success—before those images complicate and unravel. What em erges is a more contested\, more nuanced America than its emblems let on —one stitched with the visitors' own cultures and identities. A complex and ever-changing culture\, imbued with stories whispered through the wall s as people have come and gone. This exhibition brings together garments s elected by different curators to show how American dress expresses\, creat es\, obscures\, and ultimately remakes the myths the country tells about i tself.\n\nCuratorial Argument: Approaching America reveals how individuals encounter\, challenge\, and reshape the myths that define America.\n\nCom bined Themes \nMade in the USA\nMade by whom\, under what conditions\, and at what cost?\nTraditional Americana\, national symbols\, craft and produ ction\, labor\, material\, industry\, and the construction of an “Americ an-made” identity.\nImagining the American Hero\nWho gets turned into an American archetype? \nPatriotism\, heroism\, celebrity and stardom\, glam our\, aspiration\, and the figures through whom American ideals and dreams become visible and wearable.\nRedefining the frontier \nWhere and what is the “frontier\,” and whose history does that mythology depend upon?\n Expansion\, exploration\, reinvention\, and the point at which idealized n ational myths begin to encounter the histories and people they obscure.\nW earing America: A dissenting identity \nWho gets to wear American identity against dominant meanings?\nProtest\, subcultures\, resistance\, alternat ive identities\, and dress as a means of challenging the ideals establishe d in the earlier sections.\nSelf-made \nWho gets to claim self-invention\, and what does the myth conceal?\nSuccess\, individualism\, aspiration\, c lass/mobility\, entrepreneurship\, but also the possibility of remaking “America” through one’s own identity and experience.

Yet\, projections indica te that combustion applications in the energy and transportation sectors w ill remain dominant for at least two more decades. At the same time\, flam es are also used to manufacture functional powder materials (e.g.\, carbon black\, titanium dioxide\, fumed silica\, etc.) with properties tailored to enhance performance in several applications\, including in the energy s ector (e.g.\, catalysts). Therefore\, studying how gaseous reactants pyrol yze and form aerosols at high temperatures has crucial practical implicati ons and remains highly relevant despite the knowledge already acquired on this topic. In particular\, much more work is still needed to unravel the chemistry and physics of the initial particle nucleation in flames\, where it occurs rapidly and in narrow spatial regions with steep gradients. Unr aveling particle nucleation is particularly challenging because the sizes and masses of its intermediate products span extremely broad ranges\, so m uch so that several complementary sampling and analysis techniques are nec essary to investigate them. This seminar builds on an overview of fundamen tal combustion concepts to highlight the advantages and limitations of stu dying canonical laminar flame configurations in generating new meaningful results\, considering differences between premixed and non-premixed condit ions. In particular\, the discussion evidences how the new canonical Plana r Mixing Layer Flame (PMLF) configuration enables substantial advances in unraveling soot nucleation in non-premixed flames. If time allows\, the pr esentation will also describe recent efforts to use a flame to enable the relatively inexpensive manufacturing of hard-to-synthesize nanostructured catalyst powders.\n \n\nBio: Francesco Carbone joined the School of Mechan ical\, Aerospace\, and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Conn ecticut in 2109\, where he supervised the establishment of the Flame\, Aer osol\, and Nano Technologies (FANTastic) Laboratory.

In this talk\, I will present recent progress on three secretary pro blems: knapsack secretaries\, secretaries with predictions\, and truthful secretaries. Our results are obtained using a common two-step approach: we first reduce the original cardinal problem to an ordinal one and then for mulate it as a linear program. For the first step\, I will present a recen t technical tool introduced by Gravin\, Sun\, and Tang\, called order-stat istics indistinguishable distributions\, which can be used to show that th ere is no loss in the cardinal-to-ordinal reduction. For the second step\, we formulate each ordinal problem as a novel linear program.\n\nFor knaps ack secretaries\, constant competitive ratios are known\, but it was open whether a 1/e competitive ratio is achievable. We show that 1/e is not ach ievable and give a new algorithm that improves the best-known competitive ratio. For secretaries with predictions\, multiple prediction models have been proposed. We present a flexible linear programming framework that cap tures existing prediction models and use it to obtain improved algorithms and impossibility results\, which are in some cases optimal. For truthful secretaries\, the best-known truthful mechanism is ¼-competitive\, and we show that ¼ is tight for a broad family of mechanisms.\n\nJoint work wit h Jason Chatzitheodorou\, Dimitris Fotakis\, Vasilis Gkatzelis\, Xizhi Tan \, Thanos Tolias\, David Yang\, and Cherlin Zhu.\n \n\nBio: Eric Balkanski is an associate professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at Columbia University\, affiliated with the Data Sci ence Institute. His research focuses on approximation algorithms for combi natorial optimization problems under information limitations. He studies t wo main sources of such limitations: uncertainty about the future\, as cap tured by online algorithms\, and strategic behavior by agents\, as capture d by mechanism design.

He is the author of Abandoning De mocracy for the Nation (CUP Elements\, Politics of Development Series\, 20 26).\n\nWhy do voters support politicians who subvert democracy? This has been a burning question for more than a decade in democracies across the w orld. Instead of focusing on the usual explanations such as polarization o r populism\, Milacic breaks new ground by focusing on the interplay betwee n democracy and nationalism. By relying on the experiences of five countri es (Serbia\, Poland\, Hungary\, Israel\, and Turkey) and using exclusive data obtained through surveys and interviews with actors involved\, he ans wers three key questions: (1) How the subversion of democracy in the name of the nation unfolds\, (2) Why many voters acquiesce to the subversion of democracy by nationalist elites\, and (3) What matters in resisting the a ttacks on democracy with nationalist appeals. The answers to these questio ns reconcile demand-side and supply-side findings on democratic backslidin g and shed new light on how to fight back more successfully by demonstrati ng an important role of a national counter-narrative. In addition to the f ive countries under investigation\, the presentation will also include ins ights about compelling counter-narratives from the surveys in established Western democracies.

It is a space in which you will hold yourself acco untable for your learning\, and will explore different ways in which you c an improve your study techniques to ensure you also keep a healthy life/st udy balance\, which will make it sustainable.\n\nWho can join: Any student is invited to join! You will benefit the most if you commit to join all s essions\, except for instances when you're sick or are prevented from atte nding for unavoidable reasons. This will help you carve this time for lear ning about studying strategies\, organizing and planning your study sessio ns as well as using the time to practice active learning. Attending all se ssions will make it easier for you to create a study routine in a space th at fosters accountability. \n\nWhat we’ll do: We will first discuss a to pic or attend a short presentation given by Cornell staff with expertise i n different areas\, followed by hands-on practice of skills learned--many times\, you learn about a study method or how to register to request accom modations and intend to put the method into practice or fill out the form\ , only to forget to do it. This way\, you will do it and will have staff f rom the relevant office present to guide you and help you troubleshoot any issues. During the second part of the session\, you will engage in indivi dual or small group work\, evaluating your progress so far and determining what\, if any\, changes they need to make.

He will share his thoughts on failureas failure\, that is\, failure witho ut recuperation\, or failure as true negativity. Such a thinking of failur e as a thorough impasse not only resists narratives of progress\, ideologi es of success\, and their accompanying notions of grit and resilience\, bu t also registers\, at the ontological level\, the affective structure of e xistence. This might also mean reckoning with failure as an irreducible or indelible element of existence\, and this can no doubt have implications for the question of a life after\, if not always with\, failure\, that is\ , a question of survival\, as this year’s theme for the Society would ha ve it.\n\nBio \n\nIrving Goh is Professor of Comparative Literature at Emo ry University. He is the author\, most recently\, of Living On After Failu re (Duke UP\, 2025) and Touching Literature\, or the Experience of the Lim it (Cornell UP\, 2026). His other books are The Reject: Community\, Politi cs\, and Religion after the Subject (Fordham UP\, 2014)\, which won the ML A 23rd Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for French and Francophone Studies\ , L’existence prépositionnelle (Galilée\, 2019)\, and with Jean-Luc Na ncy\, The Deconstruction of Sex (Duke UP\, 2021).

They are closely intertwined \, forming life experiences that anyone may have gone through at certain s tages of life.\n\nYanni’s “pains” approach the body and society thro ugh a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on b odies\, individuals\, and collective spaces through research into the Thre e Gorges Dam\, the Dashilar redevelopment\, and the contemporary persisten ce of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body\, so metimes through the mind\, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit tog ether.\n\nThe “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships\, and the subtle proc ess of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life\, its poig nancy\, its quiet emotional weight.

Rather than perfect balance\ , the exhibitors understand temperance as the ability to hold opposing for ces at once. As young artists\, Isabella Veckerelli\, Kaia Miller\, and Mo lly Nowlan (all B.F.A. ’29) feel this tension intimately. They have chos en to study and pursue the things they are most passionate about\, while s imultaneously learning how to build futures that feel successful\, sustain able\, and secure.\n\nIn a world governed by practicality and achievement\ , committing to art can feel both liberating and strangely uncertain. They are constantly negotiating between creating for the sake of creation and questioning where that passion will take them.\n\nThrough sculpture\, work s on paper\, and sound\, the exhibition becomes a reflection of their own experience: trying to remain grounded while wanting to break free\, pursui ng their passions while planning their futures\, and learning how to exist somewhere between the two. Perhaps temperance is not finding balance\, bu t learning to live within the tension of never fully having it.

A complex and ever-changing culture\, imbued with stories whispered through the wall s as people have come and gone.

For questions\, contact seap@corne ll.edu.\n\nAbstract\n\nSoutheast Asia is a “regional world” in a “wo rld of regions\,” a “poros region” that both shapes and is shaped by the changing world order. Drawing on his 30 plus years of research\, Amit av Acharya reflects on how Southeast Asian studies has informed his perspe ctives on wider issues of global affairs and world order\, and in return\, how his scholarship on international relations theory and policy has info rmed his understanding of Southeast Asia. His theoretical work on construc tivism and world order was deeply influenced by the scholarship of Cornell scholars\, especially George McTurnan Kahin (Bandung Conference)\, O.W. W olters (culture and localization)\, and Benedict Anderson (nationalism)\, while his contribution to the literature on Southeast Asia and ASEAN was s haped by Peter J. Katzenstein’s constructivist work on norms\, culture a nd identity. Studying Southeast Asia\, he argues\, can help bridge the art ificial divide between area studies and disciplinary (e.g. political scien ce\, history\, and international relations) knowledge\, and enrich both So utheast Asian Studies as well as social sciences and humanities.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nAmitav Acharya is Distinguished Professor and the UNESCO Ch air in Transnational Challenges and Governance at the School of Internatio nal Service\, American University\, Washington\, DC. His books on internat ional relations and world order include The Once and Future World Order: W hy Global Civilization will Survive the Decline of the West (Basic Books\, 2025)\; Divergent Worlds: What the Ancient Mediterranean and Indian Ocean Can Tell Us About the Future of International Order\, co-author with Manj eet S.

We antic ipate the arrival of birds each spring and fall and enjoy different assemb lages of birds in the summer and winter. However\, there are many challeng es to studying bird migration. Sara Morris has been studying songbird migr ation on Appledore Island since 1990 and will share some observations and insights resulting from the long-term banding station at the Shoals Marine Lab.\n\nSara Morris is currently the John M. Kingsbury Executive Director of the Shoals Marine Lab\, an educational field station on Appledore Isla nd\, Maine\, jointly operated by the University of New Hampshire and Corne ll University. Her connection to Appledore and the Shoals Marine Lab dates back to 1990\, when she began her studies of bird migration as a graduate student at Cornell University. She received her PhD in 1996 and joined th e faculty at Canisius College that year. At Canisius\, she taught a variet y of courses including ornithology\, vertebrate zoology\, natural history\ , field ecology\, and evolution and ecology\, and she maintained an active research program focused on bird migration that involved Canisius undergr aduate students. After more than 27 years at Canisius\, the last nine of w hich were in academic administration\, she retired from Canisius in 2024\, received the honor of emeritus status\, and immediately accepted the pass ion project of leading the Shoals Marine Lab. She is a past president of the Wilson Ornithological Society (WOS)\, a Fellow of the American Ornitho logical Society (AOS)\, and the most recent past President of the AOS. She received the Marion Jenkinson Service Award from the AOS\, the Klamm Serv ice Award from the WOS\, and the Margaret Morse Nice Medal from the WOS. \ n \n\nThis free\, hybrid event is open to all and will be offered in perso n at Weill Hall and streamed live via Zoom.

They are closely intertwined \, forming life experiences that anyone may have gone through at certain s tages of life.\n\nYanni’s “pains” approach the body and society thro ugh a sensitive and critical lens. Her works examine the pain imposed on b odies\, individuals\, and collective spaces through research into the Thre e Gorges Dam\, the Dashilar redevelopment\, and the contemporary persisten ce of foot-binding-like pressures. These forms of pain emerge in different moments and through different structures: sometimes through the body\, so metimes through the mind\, and sometimes through the spaces we inhabit tog ether.\n\nThe “growing” part by Ruotong is a story for all mothers and children. It traces the cycles within relationships\, and the subtle proc ess of breaking those cycles. It attends to the nuances of life\, its poig nancy\, its quiet emotional weight. The piece translates narrative into fe eling\, and feeling into visual language.\n\nUltimately\, Ruotong and Yann i seek a space for emotional autonomy and feeling\, for themselves\, and f or the viewer.

Rather than perfect balance\ , the exhibitors understand temperance as the ability to hold opposing for ces at once. As young artists\, Isabella Veckerelli\, Kaia Miller\, and Mo lly Nowlan (all B.F.A. ’29) feel this tension intimately. They have chos en to study and pursue the things they are most passionate about\, while s imultaneously learning how to build futures that feel successful\, sustain able\, and secure.\n\nIn a world governed by practicality and achievement\ , committing to art can feel both liberating and strangely uncertain. They are constantly negotiating between creating for the sake of creation and questioning where that passion will take them.\n\nThrough sculpture\, work s on paper\, and sound\, the exhibition becomes a reflection of their own experience: trying to remain grounded while wanting to break free\, pursui ng their passions while planning their futures\, and learning how to exist somewhere between the two. Perhaps temperance is not finding balance\, bu t learning to live within the tension of never fully having it.

The post-WWI I rules-based international order\, which prohibits most uses of military force\, provides collective security\, and respects human rights\, has alw ays been imperfect. But today several prominent governments appear to be e xplicitly repudiating these norms. Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East sug gest that great powers like Russia and the United States are seeking power primarily through military force and economic coercion rather than throug h incentives or persuasion. Middle powers such as Canada have responded by calling for new coalitions and strategies to counter aggression. What wil l these changes mean for the future of war and peace? In this panel\, four distinguished scholars with regional expertise in Africa\, East Asia\, So utheast Asia\, and Europe will discuss different visions for the future of international order\, with a focus on prospects for developing non-violen t means of resolving conflict.\n\nPanelists\nAmitav Acharya\, American Uni versity\nOumar Ba\, Cornell University\nKyoko Imai\, Indo-Pacific Security Initiative\, Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security\nAlexander Lanosz ka\, University of Waterloo\n\nModerator\nRebecca Slayton\, Cornell Unive rsity\n\nHost\nReppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies\, part of th e Einaudi Center for International Studies\n\nCo-sponsors\nEinaudi Center for International Studies\nInstitute for European Studies\nEast Asia Progr am\nInstitute for African Development\nSoutheast Asia Program LAST-MODIFIED:20260825T180202Z LOCATION:Clark Hall\, 700 URL:https://events.cornell.edu/event/the-future-of-international-order-rup ture-resistance-and-prospects-for-peace X-SOURCE-NAME:Cornell Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.cornell.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Data-driven Learning and Control Seminar: Zhong-Ping Jiang (NYU) DTSTART:20260910T160000Z DTEND:20260910T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260827T000335Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53807945573703 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Data Driven Learning and Control seminar series is organized b y the Information and Decision Science Lab at Cornell University and aims to explore the latest advancements and interdisciplinary approaches to dat a-driven learning and control systems.\n\nWatch on YouTube Live\n \n\nBio: Zhong-Ping Jiang is widely recognized for his pioneering contributions to the stability and control of interconnected nonlinear systems and as a le ading contributor to nonlinear small-gain theory.

Establishin g how these local features collectively govern macroscopic electronic and functional response is therefore a critical challenge for the predictive d esign of next-generation semiconductor materials. Our research addresses t his challenge by integrating atom probe tomography (APT) with complementar y microscopy\, property measurements\, and data-driven analysis to establi sh quantitative structure– chemistry–property relationships across mul tiple length scales. APT provides three-dimensional chemical information w ith near-atomic-scale resolution\, enabling direct interrogation of nanosc ale compositional fluctuations\, dopant–defect interactions\, chemical o rdering\, and interface chemistry that can ultimately control material beh avior.\n\nIn this talk\, I will highlight recent examples from ultra-wide- bandgap oxide and nitride semiconductors illustrating how atomic-scale che mical and structural heterogeneity influences phase stability\, electronic behavior\, and emerging functional properties. I will also discuss how ma chine learning and statistical approaches can transform increasingly compl ex microscopy datasets into quantitative materials descriptors and acceler ate the identification of governing structure–property relationships. To gether\, these efforts provide a pathway from observing nanoscale heteroge neity to identifying the material signatures that can guide synthesis\, th eory\, and ultimately the design of semiconductor materials with targeted functionality.\n \n\nBio: Baishakhi Mazumder is an associate professor in the Department of Materials Design and Innovation at the University at Buf falo\, with an adjunct appointment in electrical engineering. She received her Ph.D. in physics and materials science from Université de Rouen\, Fr ance. Prior to joining the University at Buffalo\, she was a senior materi als scientist at Intel Corporation\, a research associate at Oak Ridge Nat ional Laboratory\, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cali fornia\, Santa Barbara. Her research focuses on understanding and controll ing processing–structure– chemistry–property relationships in advanc ed electronic materials\, with particular emphasis on wide- and ultra-wide -bandgap oxide and nitride semiconductors\, oxide electronics\, and quantu m materials. Her group integrates atom probe tomography and complementary advanced microscopy with data-driven approaches to resolve nanoscale chemi cal and structural heterogeneity and establish its connection to functiona l material behavior. The overarching goal of her research is to translate atomic-scale insights into principles for the design and engineering of ma terials with targeted functionality.

Since the late 1990s\, her research and teaching have focus ed on the relationships between Indigenous ecological knowledge\, environm ental conservation\, and socio-political transformation in Oceania\, parti cularly in Papua New Guinea\, where she has conducted over 110 months of f ield-based research since 1997. Dr. West’s scholarship bridges the socia l and environmental sciences\, exploring themes such as the intersections of conservation and development\, Indigenous alternatives to externally im posed environmental agendas\, the symbolic and material engagements with b iodiversity\, the commodification of ecological knowledge\, and climate ch ange. Her more recent work focuses on how ethnographic and Indigenous epis temologies can be brought into dialogue to shape new forms of socio-enviro nmental understanding and practice. Her current research investigates sea level rise\, managed retreat\, and how communities adapt and forge futures in the face of climate change. She is the Claire Tow Professor of Anthrop ology\, Barnard College and Columbia University and the co-founder of the PNG Institute of Biological Research and the Roviana Solwara Skul\, two co nservation-focused NGOs in Papua New Guinea.

Head-mount ed displays introduce distinct perceptual constraints in accommodation\, v ergence\, and field of view. While modern displays can mitigate some of th ese conflicts\, factors such as interpupillary distance\, optical configur ation\, and stereoscopic rendering often fail to replicate real-world coun terparts and alter perceived depth. These discrepancies become particularl y critical when translating operational tasks into immersive environments\ , as they can alter perceived depth and potentially affect the validity of user outcomes. Conventionally\, the performance of visual tasks can be re lated to existing binocular visual function measures. However\, existing c linical tests are conducted under strictly controlled conditions that cann ot fully reproduce the viewing conditions and visual artifacts of immersiv e displays. Computerized vision tests in virtual displays\, together with eye and motion tracking provide a testbed for examining how these discrepa ncies translate into perceptual and visuomotor responses\, bridging the ga p between conventional measures of visual function and user performance in immersive systems. In this talk\, we examine the differences between real and virtual viewing across a range of perceptual and applied tasks. Toget her\, these studies demonstrate how tracking the eyes and body can provide objective predictions of how users respond to the differences between nat ural and immersive viewing\, informing the design and evaluation of safer and more effective immersive systems.\n \n\nBio: Xue Teng obtained her Ph.

This seminar is co-sponsored with CSI.\n\nThis talk is based on Dr. Lopoo's rec ently published book\, Wanting Children: Family-Planning Policies and the Engineering of America's Population (University of Chicago Press). Unlike most of the world\, U.S. family-planning policy has focused almost exclusi vely on limiting fertility\, with little attention to supporting people wh o want to have children.

What is a myth\, if not a story worn so often it star ts to feel like fact? This exhibition asks what happens when that story co nfronts its own contradictions: when American myths are pressed up against the labor\, land\, histories\, and people that make them wearable in the first place. Visitors move through the exhibition the way a newcomer might \, from idyllic first impressions toward a more complicated understanding of America.\n\nThey arrive in search of freedom\, clutching onto a dream c urated in their mind before they arrive at our front door\, passing throug h the country’s most familiar archetypes—the pioneer\, the patriot\, t he self-made success—before those images complicate and unravel.

Within engineering\, research has increasing ly focused on characterizing student mental health and understanding the i nfluence of engineering culture on well-being and help seeking. Our recent work has shown that engineering students report comparatively low levels of depression and anxiety symptoms relative to students in many other disc iplines\, despite the high levels of stress associated with engineering ed ucation. At the same time\, engineering students experiencing mental healt h distress are among the least likely to have received professional help. Together\, these findings raise questions about how engineering culture ma y shape how students recognize and interpret distress and decide when thei r experiences warrant support.\n\nThrough this talk\, I will present resul ts from quantitative\, qualitative\, and participatory research examining engineering student mental health and help seeking within the broader cont ext of engineering culture. Across studies\, expectations surrounding acad emic performance\, productivity\, endurance\, and self-reliance emerged as important influences on how students understand and respond to mental hea lth concerns. Our qualitative work demonstrates how these norms are commun icated and reinforced through everyday educational environments\, includin g interactions with peers\, faculty\, and advisors.\n\nThese findings have led our research toward examining how we might change the environments in which these experiences occur. Through participatory research\, we partne red with engineering students to identify barriers to mental health and be longing and develop actionable strategies for change. Students identified opportunities that distribute responsibility across students\, faculty\, e ducational practices\, support structures\, and institutional environments . Together\, this work highlights opportunities to move beyond changing in dividual student behavior toward creating engineering environments that be tter support mental health and sustainable success.\n \n\nBio: Sarah Wilso n is an associate professor in Experiential Engineering Education at Rowan University. Guided by the motto\, “We can't design better systems until we care about the people inside them\,” her research focuses on underst anding and improving mental health and well-being in engineering. Her work examines how engineering culture and educational environments shape stude nts’ experiences of mental health\, help seeking\, and belonging\, with a particular focus on the roles of peers\, faculty\, and broader systems o f support. She uses quantitative\, qualitative\, and participatory methods to understand these experiences and partner with students in identifying opportunities for change across the engineering ecosystem. Wilson has co-d eveloped internationally presented workshops on supporting mental health i n engineering and collaborates with students\, faculty\, and institutions to create more inclusive and caring engineering environments. She received the Ray W. Fahien Award from ASEE for innovation in chemical engineering education. While at the University of Kentucky\, she supported the develop ment of an NSF-funded Engineering Wellness Center focused on student menta l health\, help seeking\, and belonging.

Challenges to the 20 18 legislative act by the Federal Shariyat Court (2023) have popularized the belief that being transgender is not morally compatible with Islamic p ractices and society. How does emergent masculinity make its religious mor ality stable enough to access nationalist legitimacy?

Physicists use mathematical expressions\, relationships\ , and multiple representations to understand and reason about the world\, whether by mathematizing a physical scenario or interpreting and evaluatin g an expression for physical significance. Some skills are expected to dev elop in mathematics classes\, and some in physics classes.

What is a myth\, if not a story worn so often it star ts to feel like fact? This exhibition asks what happens when that story co nfronts its own contradictions: when American myths are pressed up against the labor\, land\, histories\, and people that make them wearable in the first place. Visitors move through the exhibition the way a newcomer might \, from idyllic first impressions toward a more complicated understanding of America.\n\nThey arrive in search of freedom\, clutching onto a dream c urated in their mind before they arrive at our front door\, passing throug h the country’s most familiar archetypes—the pioneer\, the patriot\, t he self-made success—before those images complicate and unravel. What em erges is a more contested\, more nuanced America than its emblems let on —one stitched with the visitors' own cultures and identities. A complex and ever-changing culture\, imbued with stories whispered through the wall s as people have come and gone. This exhibition brings together garments s elected by different curators to show how American dress expresses\, creat es\, obscures\, and ultimately remakes the myths the country tells about i tself.\n\nCuratorial Argument: Approaching America reveals how individuals encounter\, challenge\, and reshape the myths that define America.\n\nCom bined Themes \nMade in the USA\nMade by whom\, under what conditions\, and at what cost?\nTraditional Americana\, national symbols\, craft and produ ction\, labor\, material\, industry\, and the construction of an “Americ an-made” identity.\nImagining the American Hero\nWho gets turned into an American archetype? \nPatriotism\, heroism\, celebrity and stardom\, glam our\, aspiration\, and the figures through whom American ideals and dreams become visible and wearable.\nRedefining the frontier \nWhere and what is the “frontier\,” and whose history does that mythology depend upon?\n Expansion\, exploration\, reinvention\, and the point at which idealized n ational myths begin to encounter the histories and people they obscure.\nW earing America: A dissenting identity \nWho gets to wear American identity against dominant meanings?\nProtest\, subcultures\, resistance\, alternat ive identities\, and dress as a means of challenging the ideals establishe d in the earlier sections.\nSelf-made \nWho gets to claim self-invention\, and what does the myth conceal?\nSuccess\, individualism\, aspiration\, c lass/mobility\, entrepreneurship\, but also the possibility of remaking “America” through one’s own identity and experience.

AK exploits the atomic-scale thickness\, high out-of-plane flexibility\, significant self-adhesion\, and ultralow intrinsic friction of 2D materials. In AK\, graphene ribbons spontaneously fold\, tear\, tape r\, and propagate by sliding over an underlying graphene host sheet. By sc anning with a nanoscale atomic force microscope (AFM) tip\, we controllabl y trigger AK formation in graphene by using applied contact forces\, or by using electrochemical etching combined with applied contact forces. From this we observe clear shape anisotropy of the AK structures\, and quantiza tion of the AK propagation direction. These effects are explained by using continuum mechanics and atomistic modeling to explain the relationship be tween AK tearing angles\, AFM cutting directions\, friction anisotropy\, a nd graphene's lattice orientation. From this\, we propose a method to fabr icate stacked graphene with pre-determined interlayer twist angles via tip -induced shear\, offering potential applications in semiconductors\, twist ronics\, and beyond.\n \n\nBio: Robert Carpick is the John Henry Towne Pro fessor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University o f Pennsylvania.

This asymmetry has accelerated theorem pr oving and code generation\, but it breaks down in computational science: a ssessing an agent-designed discretization\, reduced-order model\, or learn ed PDE solver may require an expensive high-fidelity trajectory -- the com putation the proposed method was meant to avoid. This motivates a central question: can computational sciences recover this verifier advantage?\n\nO ur answer is generative verification. Numerical methods—especially reduc ed-order models—are designed for particular operating regimes\, traditio nally specified through physical intuition about the solution structures t hat matter. With sufficient data\, a generative model can instead learn th is regime as a distribution over plausible solutions. Samples serve as hid den manufactured solutions: the governing equations are used to derive the corresponding forcing\, initial conditions\, and boundary conditions expo sed to the agent\, while preserving exact private reference solutions for automatic scoring. We use this reusable verifier in an iterative loop that targets the current solver’s failures without drifting from the target regime. Across Navier--Stokes and Vlasov–Poisson equations\, verifier-gu ided iteration improves the accuracy and robustness of agent-designed nume rical solvers and reduced-order models on unseen cases. Generative verific ation thus turns learned regime knowledge into scalable feedback\, bringin g verifier-driven scaling from proofs and code to computational science.

For participants coming from Cornell Tech and other Cornell campuses out side of Ithaca\, a limited number of guest rooms at the Statler Hotel and funds for reasonable travel expenses will be provided.\n\nThis year\, the theme is Artificial Intelligence and the Debts of Computing. While there h ave been many innovations in computing that have been called “AI” over the years\, the public releases of OpenAI’s DALL-E (2021) and ChatGPT ( 2022) have redefined our understanding of what computers can do. As a slew of new AI products has appeared\, there is much excitement—and trepidat ion—about how these tools might transform our businesses\, our instituti ons\, and our personal lives. At the same time\, prominent scholars and ac tivists have argued that computing as an industry has accumulated a series of metaphorical debts through the costs these technologies have to the ec onomy\, the environment\, and society. Computer scientist and sustainabili ty scholar Christoph Becker has gone so far as to say that “in its curre nt form\, computing is… insolvent: It is incapable of paying back the de bts it owes to this planet and its societies.”\n\nThis workshop will eng age with the ethical and social issues raised by the business of AI develo pment\, and how these debts might be mitigated or repaid. Questions we may consider include:\n\nWhen should AI replace vs. enhance human labor?Is AI an environmentally sustainable technology?How might AI improve or undermi ne human connection?Discussion will be structured through a simulation gam e. Participants will take on the role of a team at an AI startup\, and gra pple with a series of ethically challenging questions that arise in the de velopment\, maintenance\, and use of an AI product. Each team’s choices will influence how the scenario unfolds\, creating a series of unique case studies.\n\nEligibility\n\nThe workshop is open to Cornell students in th e following programs of study:\n\nM.Eng.M.B.A.J.D.Senior Undergraduate\, G raduate\, and Professional programs in relevant disciplinesWorkshop Agenda \n\n4:30–5:00 PM — Registration & Networking5:00–5:30 PM — Keynote Lecture5:30–5:40 PM — Break with refreshments5:40–6:40 PM — Break out discussion / simulation game6:40–7:00 PM — Discussion7:00–9:00 P M — DinnerApply to participate\n\n \n\nImage: Labour/Resources by Clarot e & AI4Media\, https://betterimagesofai.org/images?artist=Clarote&title=La bour%2FResources\, CC-BY 4.0.

A complex and ever-changing culture\, imbued with stories whispered through the wall s as people have come and gone.

Strangelove\, an American president calls a drunken Soviet Premier with bad news: “…Dimitri\, you know how we've always talked about the possi bility of something going wrong with the Bomb...” The “something” is a deranged commander who has launched a nuclear attack on the Soviet Unio n\, which leads to nuclear apocalypse. While a global apocalypse has yet t o materialize\, the history of nuclear weapons is full of other things goi ng wrong. Indigenous lands have been destroyed\, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people have died of cancer\, and trillions of dollars ha ve been spent on weapons that one U.S. Defense Secretary ultimately conclu ded were “useless.”\n\nToday the majority of the world’s nations hav e joined the Treaty for the Prohibition on Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)\, and su rveys suggest strong public support for the TPNW\, even in nations that po ssess nuclear weapons. However\, the nine nations in the world that have n uclear weapons are continuing a costly and dangerous nuclear arms race whi ch endangers all life on earth. In this full-day symposium\, distinguished experts from diverse disciplines—including physics\, political science\ , history\, feminist studies\, and peace and conflict studies—will discu ss contemporary dangers of nuclear weapons\, how we got here\, and how we can work for a more secure and peaceful future.\n\nThis symposium is cospo nsored by the Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies and th e Department of Government at Cornell University\, on the occasion of Prof essor Matthew Evangelista’s retirement from Cornell. Professor Evangelis ta’s scholarship makes groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the nuclear arms race and means of ending it\, and we are pleased to h onor his distinguished career in peace and conflict studies.\n\nPanels:\n\ n10:00 AM to 11:30 AM: Nuclear Arms Races and How to Stop Them\nRay Acheso n (Princeton)\, David Cortright (Cornell)\, Lisbeth Gronlund (MIT)\n\n11:3 0 AM to 12:00 PM: Break\n\n12:00 PM to 1:15 PM: Keynote: "Nuclear Weapons: An International History"\nDavid Holloway\, Stanford University\n\n1:15 P M to 1:30 PM: Coffee Break\n\n1:30 PM to 3:00 PM: New Perspectives on Nucl ear Disarmament and Arms Control\n"Banning or Facilitating the Test?

For questions\, contact seap@cornell.edu.\n\nAbstract\ n\nMoscow-Naypyitaw rapprochement represents one of the major consequences of the 2021 Myanmar coup and one of the unexpected outcomes of the Ukrain e war. Until then\, Russia-Myanmar relations remained good but limited (co nfined to arms trade\, military training\, diplomatic support\, and nuclea r dreaming). The breakthrough came with the fourth military coup in Myanma r\, followed by the Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine. \n\ nAfter February 2021\, the isolated SAC turned to Moscow\, and the Kremlin emerged as the primary international supporter of the Burmese military ju nta\, acting as its political patron\, with General Min Aung Hlaing now pi lgrimaging to Russia (Moscow\, Kazan and Vladivostok\, and other places) a lmost on a routine basis. While Russia was initially still somewhat wary\, Moscow’s global (semi-)isolation after the outbreak of the full-scale U kraine war shifted this dynamic\, elevating Myanmar's importance in Russia n foreign policy calculations as well. Thus\, a mutually convenient asymm etric relationship emerged\, and Russia-Myanmar relations have reached an unprecedented level of closeness\, unparalleled in their bilateral history . This is best illustrated by the personal chemistry between their leaders \, even if expressed is such extraordinary ways as in March 2025\, when Mi n Aung Hlaing compared Vladimir Putin to a rat king which was meant to be an unusual way to emphasize the political friendship with the Russian lead er. \n\nThe unexpected and unusual combination of Russia and Myanmar caug ht observers by surprise. Why have these two countries\, so geographically and culturally distant\, with limited past contacts\, became so close? Wh at triggered their rapprochement? And what does it matter – to both Mosc ow and Naypyidaw\, to the region\, and even to the world? What are the con sequences of this emerging partnership? And where is China in all this? Wh at exact role does Beijing play in this unexpected Naypyidaw-Moscow rappr ochement? \n\nThis talk will try to answer these questions. \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nMichał Lubina is an associate professor at the Jagiellonian U niversity\, Kraków\, Poland. He is the author of eleven books\, including seven on Myanmar\, and three on Russia-China relations. His most importan t English-language books are “A Political Biography of Aung San Suu Kyi: A Hybrid Politician” (Routledge\, 2020) and “The Moral Democracy” ( 2019)\, translated into Burmese and published in Yangon in 2021.

Their preference for 3-5 day orbital periods\, and orbits highly misaligned with their hosts’ equatorial planes\, refl ect a dynamic past. However\, for close-in Jovians (“hot Jupiters”)\, only hot host stars have spins misaligned with the planet orbit normal: co ol hosts are predominantly aligned. Moreover\, few gaseous planets less ma ssive than Saturn have orbital periods shorter than three days. This talk discusses the processes that sculpt the diversity of masses\, inclinations \, and separations in gaseous exoplanetary systems. Hot Jupiters originate at larger distances\, get launched onto eccentric orbits after suffering gravitational encounters with companions\, and migrate to tight orbits. Ex cited inclinations are tidally damped by internal gravity waves that dissi pate preferentially in the cores of cool stars. Unlucky Jovians with high eccentricities experience extreme tidal forcing\, exciting surface gravity waves that shock and unbind gaseous envelopes. Stripped\, high-density co res form with sub-three-day orbits\, which grow through mergers between ne ighboring gas giants. Theories that posit gaseous exoplanets have violent pasts can be tested with JWST\, Roman\, and Rubin observations: migrating hot Jupiters cause shock-heating events driving luminous transients\, and mergers excite seismic oscillations visible in directly imaged gas giants.

Drawing on ethnog raphic work in the Indian Himalaya\, this talk explores how scandals or ka and emanating from ungovernable sexuality revealed that the best way to un derstand the village was as a system of sexual governance rooted in Brahmi nical patriarchy. Scandalous events\, I argue\, laid bare the elaborate ne tworks of power and surveillance that were necessary for the moral and mat erial codes of Brahminical patriarchy to masquerade as the natural order o f things. Kaand exposed Brahminical patriarchy as an unnatural institution \, thereby leaving a village social order that was rooted in it open to qu estion and contention. \n\nRadhika Govindrajan is an Associate Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Washington.\n\nRadhika Govindrajan is a cultural anthropologist who works across the fields of mu ltispecies ethnography\, environmental anthropology\, gender and sexuality \, the anthropology of religion\, South Asian Studies\, and political anth ropology.\n\nHer first book Animal Intimacies (University of Chicago Press \, 2018\; Penguin Viking India 2019) is an ethnography of multispecies rel atedness in the Central Himalayan state of Uttarakhand in India. Animal In timacies was awarded the 2017 American Institute of Indian Studies Edward Cameron Dimock Prize in the Indian Humanities\; the 2019 Gregory Bateson P rize\, by the Society for Cultural Anthropology\; and the sole Honorable M ention for the 2021 Diana Forsythe Prize\, jointly awarded by the Society for the Anthropology of Work and the Committee for the Anthropology of Sci ence\, Technology\, and Computing. The Indian edition was awarded the 2020 Green Lit Fest Honour for General Fiction and Nonfiction and longlisted f or the 2020 Kamala Devi Chattopadhyaya Book Prize. Animal Intimacies is an ethnography of the myriad symbolic\, material\, and affective relationshi ps that villagers in the Central Himalayas have with a variety of nonhuman animals. It explores how this relatedness is shaped by wider issues and c ontexts including colonialism\, rural-urban migration\, changing religious practices\, wildlife conservation\, and the politics of gender.\n\nGovind rajan is currently working on two research projects. The first\, a book te ntatively titled Sex and the Village: Scandals and the Nature of Rurality in Contemporary India\, explores how scandals around changing sexual ident ities and practices in rural Uttarakhand provided an occasion for people t o offer multiple\, often conflicting\, theories about the changing nature of rurality and the rural. The second project is concerned with the relati onship between elections and broader social life\, and examines how electo ral discourses and practices and ordinary forms of sociality shape each ot her in rural and small-town Uttarakhand.\n\n---\n\nThe Bernd Lambert Memor ial Lecture Series\, inaugurated in 2017\, was established by the Cornell University Department of Anthropology in honor of one of its distinguished emeriti\, Bernd Lambert. A transnational refugee from the Holocaust and a n ethnographer of the Pacific Islands\, Lambert joined the Cornell faculty in 1964 and is remembered for his kind and generous presence. For over 50 years\, his research and teaching ranged widely from issues of kinship\, adoption\, and social organization to myth and symbol.

The talk will be followed by a reception in Rare and Manuscript Collections\, Carl A. K roch Library\, at 5:30 p.m.\n\nIn 2007\, photographer James Balog founded the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) to create a sustained visual record of recedi ng glaciers\, while offering his artistic response to our rapidly changing planet. Combining photography with engineering and scientific collaborati on\, the project deployed networks of specially designed time-lapse camera s at glaciers in Greenland\, Iceland\, Alaska\, the Rocky Mountains\, the Alps\, and the Himalayas. Operating through years of extreme weather\, the se cameras captured millions of images documenting the advance\, retreat\, and occasional collapse of ice\, producing one of the most extensive visu al records of glacier change ever assembled.\n\nRather than relying on sin gle dramatic photographs\, the Extreme Ice Survey reveals change through s equence. By compressing months and years into minutes\, its time-lapse ima gery makes visible processes that ordinarily unfold too slowly for direct human perception. The project has become one of the most influential visua l archives of glacier change\, serving scientists\, educators\, museums\, and the public alike while shaping contemporary understanding of the effec ts of climate change.\n\nThis exhibition is funded through the generous su pport of the Stephen E. ’59 and Evalyn Edwards ’60 Milman Exhibition F und and the Richard N.

Drawing on her extensive correspondence with f ans\, I argue that Williams understood music-making as an interactive proc ess in which musicians and listeners shared responsibility for realizing j azz's transformative potential. As Black people confronted urban unrest\, psychological distress\, and incarceration\, Williams sought to heal other s through music\, charity\, and correspondence. In turn\, her own well-bei ng and sense of being became bound up with theirs. Reciprocal listening th us constituted an aesthetic\, political\, and ontological practice through which Williams and her listeners remade the Black public sphere. \n\nMas ayoshi Yamada is a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow in Music and History. His r esearch examines the intersection of popular music and social change\, wit h an emphasis on the political potential of the listening public. Masa's b ook project explores the history of jazz fandom and the role of music enth usiasts in advancing racial justice in the United States and beyond. With a PhD in U.S. history from UCLA\, he was previously a University of Califo rnia President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Santa Cruz\, a Visiting Assista nt Professor at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies\, and an Adjunct Assis tant Professor at Temple University\, Japan Campus.

I focus on two tales and their defaced protagonists—the mur dered schoolboy in the Prioress’s Tale and the slain maiden Virginia in the Physician’s Tale. In each case\, the narrative centers on the interp lay of utterance and animation and how fictions of voice both figure and d isfigure their speakers. I place these speakers within the wider problemat ic of voice in the Canterbury Tales as well as recent developments within literary studies\, in the treatment of character\, narrator\, and poetic s peaker. \n\nJulie Orlemanski teaches and writes about medieval literature and theoretical and methodological questions in present-day literary studi es.

However\, uncoordinated integration into the grid risks exac erbating peak demand\, destabilising distribution networks\, and undermini ng the transition to renewable energy. Realising the full promise of elect rified transport requires moving beyond aggregate load assumptions towards a rigorous\, behaviourally grounded understanding of how\, when\, and why individuals charge and discharge their vehicles.\n\nThis talk examines th e methods\, challenges\, and implications of modelling EV charging and dis charging behaviour at the individual and fleet level. It explores how data -driven modelling frameworks can capture the complex interplay between tra vel demand\, user preferences\, energy needs\, and grid conditions\, provi ding the behavioural intelligence necessary to underpin smart charging str ategies\, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) dispatch\, and infrastructure planning.\n\ nThe talk further highlights how disaggregate behavioural models can trans late into tangible system-level benefits: reduced peak demand\, lower char ging costs\, enhanced renewable energy integration\, and improved grid res ilience. EV behaviour modelling sits at the intersection of transport\, en ergy\, and data science\, and this talk makes the case that understanding (dis)charging behaviour is not just academic research\, it is the foundati on for intelligent\, sustainable energy systems.\n \n\nBio: Aruna Sivakuma r is professor of consumer demand modelling and urban systems in the Depar tment of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, and director of the Urban S ystems Lab\, at Imperial College London. Her research sits at the intersec tion of transport\, energy\, and urban systems\, with a particular focus o n electric vehicle behaviour\, smart charging\, and activity-based travel demand modelling. She has published over 60 peer-reviewed journal papers\, attracting more than 5\,400 citations\, and has led major research initia tives funded by EPSRC\, ESRC\, Innovate UK\, and the EU. She has served on the Travel Behaviour and Values subcommittee of the Transportation Resear ch Board in the United States\, and the Infrastructure Operation and Traff ic Management in Developing Countries committee of the World Conference on Transport Research Society.

While technological hype is not ne w\, engineering education now faces a unique convergence of forces that de mand renewed attention. Against this backdrop\, I explore critical questio ns for the future of engineering education: how curricula\, assessment\, a nd learning environments might evolve\; when and how AI should be taught a nd used\; and what distinctive value higher education can and should offer in an AI-mediated world. I argue that three interrelated factors make the current moment particularly consequential. First\, the techno-cultural ma teriality of GenAI where it is deeply embedded in everyday sociomaterial p ractices. Second\, the socio-cognitive affordances of GenAI which reflect a qualitative shift in computational capabilities mimicking highly human c ognitive functions and raising foundational questions about knowledge\, ex pertise\, and learning. Third\, the economic reality and pressures shaping higher education—student debt\, employability concerns\, and institutio nal financial constraints—that have intensified the perceived power of A I by aligning education ever more closely with workforce preparation. Draw ing on secondary data\, recent studies\, and classroom-based research\, th e talk examines how students and faculty currently engage with generative AI. Overall\, evidence shows widespread student use across cognitively com plex tasks\, persistent misconceptions about AI’s capabilities\, and a t ension between efficiency gains and reduced learning effort. Faculty adopt ion remains comparatively limited\, shaped by unfamiliarity\, ambivalence\ , and weak institutional guidance.\n \n\nBio: Aditya Johri is a professor of information sciences and technology and Dr. Lawrence Cranberg Endowed R esearch Fellow in the College of Engineering & Computing at George Mason U niversity.

Dra wing on 68 in-depth interviews with adults who have estranged from a famil y of origin member\, Reczek argues in this talk that contemporary family e strangement is indicative of a sociological culture clash in the very mean ing and expectations of family in the US. This clash is between the cultur e of “compulsory kinship”—which demands the family is unconditionall y forever—and a rivaling family culture of “democratized kinship” – wherein family’s continuation depends on the quality of a tie. Recz ek shows that family estrangement is the symptom of family problems\, not the disease\; the outcome of failing families\, not the cause.

Nevertheless\, current preclinical experimental approaches remain li mited in their ability to systematically investigate these dynamic PK-PD r elationships. Most in vitro studies\, for example\, rely on constant drug concentrations that fail to recapitulate the time-varying exposure profile s observed in vivo. Animal studies can provide valuable PK-PD insights\, b ut species-specific differences in drug disposition and pharmacological re sponse often limit their translational relevance to human patients. To bri dge these gaps\, mathematical models have become increasingly important wi thin model-informed drug development frameworks. While such models are pow erful tools for predicting drug behavior and informing decision-making\, t heir success depends on experimental systems that can generate data tailor ed for model parameterization and validation. To address this need\, we ha ve developed a custom microfluidic perfusion platform capable of exposing cells to precisely controlled\, physiologically relevant drug concentratio n profiles. By integrating these fit-for-purpose microfluidic assays with mechanistic PK-PD and quantitative systems pharmacology models\, our rese arch seeks to expand the translational PK-PD toolbox\, reduce reliance on animal studies\, and improve the likelihood of clinical success for invest igational therapeutics. In this seminar\, I will provide an overview of th is platform and highlight its application to the design and translation of proximity-inducing drugs and molecularly targeted cancer therapeutics.\n \n\nBio: Derek Bartlett is an assistant professor in the Division of Pharm acotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics within the Eshelman School of Pha rmacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received a BS degree in chemical engineering from Stanford University and M.S. and Ph.D . degrees in chemical engineering from Caltech. At Caltech\, his dissertat ion research in the laboratory of Dr. Mark Davis focused on the developmen t of targeted delivery vehicles for siRNA therapeutics. Following postdoct oral training in cancer immunotherapeutics and radiation oncology at City of Hope under the guidance of Dr. Andrew Raubitschek\, he spent 15 years w orking within the pharmaceutical industry across a variety of functions in cluding formulation\, process development\, quantitative systems pharmacol ogy\, and translational modeling and simulation. During this time\, he led conjugation process development for antibody-based molecular imaging agen ts\, developed mechanistic PK-PD models for drug modalities including bisp ecific T cell engagers and targeted protein degraders\, helped create nove l vaccine adjuvants\, and spearheaded the design and implementation of mic rofluidic PK-PD assays for drug discovery programs. His research group at UNC builds upon this foundation by combining mechanistic PK-PD modeling an d microfluidic assays as an animal-alternative approach to guide the desig n and translational development of proximity-inducing drugs\, antibody-dru g conjugates\, and molecularly targeted therapeutics.

Un like space\, however\, crystals are densely populated with electrons whose collective behaviour responds sensitively to these distortions. As a resu lt\, ultrasound can provide deep insights into emergent quantum phenomena. \n\nOver the past decade\, my group has developed and revitalized ultrason ic techniques to study quantum materials\, uncovering new insights into su perconductivity\, magnetism\, and topological states of matter. Using this approach\, we have probed the symmetry of the superconducting order param eter in UTe2\, a leading candidate topological superconductor\, revealing both unexpected simplicity and\, under pressure\, the emergence of remarka bly unconventional superconducting phases. We have also developed a new ul trasound-based experiment that reveals chiral phonon dynamics and establis hes connections between phonon Berry curvature and quantum magnetism.\n\n\ nI will conclude by discussing the directions my group is currently pursui ng\, the broader role of quantum materials in modern condensed matter phys ics\, and how we can balance the complementary goals of fundamental unders tanding and technological impact.

Through Dagbaŋ epistemologies and kno wledge systems\, this book examines media by highlighting how African lang uages\, cultures\, and traditions can shift how we think of knowledge. It is an offering to anyone curious about the relationship between culture\, language\, and media. By focusing on African language media in Ghana such as film\, television\, and radio\, the book emphasizes the importance of e spousing a decolonial politic and praxis in the process of co-creating kno wledge with Indigenous communities. It connects the struggles of global ma jority countries and demonstrates the ways in which (neo)colonialism and i mperialism impede the work toward liberatory futures. This book demonstrat es the potential that African language media hold as tools of cultural and epistemological decolonization (publisher's website).\n\n \n\nBio\n\nWunp ini Fatimata Mohammed is Assistant Professor in the Department of Communi cation at Cornell University. In addition to her recent book on media cult ure in Ghana\, she is also co-editor of the collection African Women in D igital Spaces: Redefining Social Movements on the Continent and in the Dia spora (2023). Prior to joining the Department of Communication in July 202 4\, she served on the faculty at the University of Georgia. She is an acti vist-scholar whose research focuses on feminisms\, decolonization\, and so cial movements. Her research is published in peer reviewed journals such a s Communication Theory\, The Howard Journal of Communications\, The Inte rnational Journal of Communication\, Feminist Media Studies among others.

For very good reasons — well kn own to all. Yet in the design professions we have been experimenting with generative AI for almost ten years\, and by now we have some idea of what this new technology can do\, of what it cannot do\, and\, likely\, what i t should not do. Generative AI is a machine that makes new stuff out of o ld stuff. Everything new that we get out of generative AI derives from so mething we have put into it. Generative AI is a revolutionary imitation m achine\, where imitation does not mean copy\, but assimilation and transfo rmation.\n\nBy the way it works\, generative AI reminds us that every new creation derives to some extent from precedent\; it reminds us that imitat ion\, style\, and tradition are indispensable and inevitable components of every form of creativity. But by the way it works\, generative AI also r eminds us that creative imitation can only take us so far\; and that somet imes we want to do better than the models that inspire us.\n\nThis lecture is part of the Design Tech Public Lecture Series.

Upon ceasefire\, the “Wagner Group” faded back into shadow\, only to reemerge in the Mi ddle East\, where they'd go toe-to-toe with the U.S.\, and in Africa\, whe re they'd earn praise for “tough measures” against insurgencies yet sp ark outrage for looting\, torture\, and civilian deaths. As Russia gained a foothold of influence abroad\, Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin\, known as “Putin's Chef\,” went from caterer to commander to single greatest threat Putin has faced in his over-twenty-year rule.\n\nDually armed with military and strategic prowess\, the Wagner Group created a new market in a vast geopolitical landscape increasingly receptive to the promises of pr ivate actors. In this trailblazing account of the Group's origins and oper ations\, John Lechner-the only journalist to report across its many warzon es-brings us on the ground to witness Wagner partner with fragile nation s tates\, score access to natural resources\, oust peacekeeping missions\, a nd cash in on conflicts reframed as Kremlin interests. After rebelling\, P rigozhin faced an epic demise-but Wagner lives on\, its political\, busine ss\, and military ventures a pillar of Russian operations the world over.\ n\nFeaturing exclusive interviews with over thirty Wagner Group members\, Death Is Our Business is the terrifying true tale of the renegade militia that proved global instability is nothing if not an opportunity.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nJohn graduated from the Master of Science in Foreign Servic e (MSFS) Program at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. A t Georgetown\, John focused on security issues in Central Africa and the S ahel\; Turkey\; Russia\, and the former Soviet Union. He is an expert on R ussia’s growing influence in Africa. He speaks fluent Russian\; advanced French\, Turkish\, and Georgian\; and conversational Bosnian-Croatian-Ser bian (BCS)\, Chechen\, German\, and Sango (the lingua franca of the Centra l African Republic).\n\nAfter working in finance for several years\, John decided to leverage his language skills and significant experience living abroad—especially in Russia and Europe—for a career in international a ffairs. After arriving in Washington DC\, he took an internship with the F oundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD)\, analyzing and publishing arti cles on Turkish domestic politics\, security\, and foreign relations. \n\n While attending Georgetown he has continued to work as a freelance journal ist\, covering issues related to language\, history\, culture\, and politi cs in eastern Ukraine\, Moldova\, Turkey\, the Sahel\, and the Central Afr ican Republic.

With the James Webb Space Telesco pe (JWST)\, going deeper and redder than any telescope before\, we can now expand transient astronomy into the early\, high-redshift universe\, whic h offers us a direct approach for probing both the first stars and the epo ch of reionization\, as well as insights into rare high energy physics and explosion mechanisms (e.g.\, Pair-Instability SNe and Superluminous SNe). I will discuss recent discoveries with JADES and COSMOS-Web\, yielding hu ndreds of SNe\, many with redshifts between 2-5\, a previously unreachable range.

He made the comment in connection with his Music for Solo Performer\ , a landmark work in which signals from the human brain were captured\, el ectronically amplified\, filtered\, and rendered audible via sympathetic v ibration. The process was both medical and mystical: an electrical circuit ing of neural and musical frequency such that that inner and outer vibrati on appeared to be continuous. And yet\, for Lucier\, Solo Performer was le ss a ‘sound idea’ than an experiment in ‘control’ and ‘attention ’ arising from what he termed ‘a perfectly meditative alpha state.’ Here\, I unpack the assemblage of technologies and sound ideologies that p roduced these claims\, situating Solo Performer in a long-arc history of n eural sonification extending back to the 1930s and forward through more el aborate sound-mind syntheses of the 1970s\, including those of David Rosen boom. I am particularly interested in ‘alpha’ frequencies\, which exer cised a curiously powerful influence across the fields of experimental psy chology\, physics\, philosophy\, music\, and aesthetics. Laying special cl aim to the domain of the sonic\, alpha stood at the center of a new neural acoustemology that made listening an index of volition and consciousness itself an auditory technique.\n\nFrancesca Brittan is Associate Professor of Music and Affiliated Faculty in the Dpt. of Cognitive Science at Case W estern Reserve University. Her first scholarly article\, published while a graduate student at Cornell\, dwelt on music’s relationship with ninete enth-century psychological theory\, casting Berlioz’s Symphonie fantasti que as an articulation of the over-focused Romantic mind. Since then\, que stions around orchestral cognition\, cognitive orchestration\, auditory at tention/distraction\, and sonic conceptions of consciousness have continue d to mobilize her. She is the author of Music and Fantasy in the Age of Be rlioz (Cambridge\, 2017) and co-editor of Berlioz and His World (Chicago\, 2024) and The Attentive Ear: Sound\, Cognition and Subjectivity in the Lo ng Nineteenth Century (Penn\, 2026). Her current book\, The Audible Brain: A Resonant History of Cognition\, ranges from Descartes to cybernetics\, tracing the central role of sonic processes\, instruments\, and ideologies in generating neurophysiological and cognitive theory.

Rubaii's forensic ethnography between 2014 and 2024 traces weaponized metals from the sand and bodies of people in Fallujah back to t heir origins at war's jaws: mineral mines in the Democratic Republic of Co ngo\, where such metals are extracted by artisanal miners for use by tech and weapons companies\, and to the smelters of Rwanda and the US\, where s uch minerals are refined and distributed. The talk also follows the post-b attle life of weaponized metals to its tail\, where these metals are recyc led by Indian laborers in steel factories in Iraqi Kurdistan as a central part of the concrete industry\; or to Colfax\, Louisiana where they are de stroyed in burn pits\; and to Guam’s coral reef\, where they are detonat ed. At each site\, people are trapped in biochemically and socially toxic relations with components of weaponized earth. By tracing the toxic exposu res people face at multiple sites of metal extraction\, weaponization\, re use\, and disposal\, Rubaii’s talk identifies two key points about war's long chain of supply: 1) the many bodies and people whose lives are ravag ed by warfare far from the site and dates of documented battles\, and 2) l ocations for antiwar intervention in an increasingly diffuse network of co rporate and contracted war-making. \n\nKali Rubaii is a cultural anthropol ogist at Purdue University whose scholarship focuses on displacement\, hea lth justice\, and the environmental impacts of war. She is the author of R esurgency: Outlasting the War on Terror in Iraq and co-editor of The Socia l Properties of Concrete. She leads the Parts Per Million Project \, an in terdisciplinary\, international team of researchers concerned with multi-g enerational health effects of environmental exposures from the war industr y. She also co-leads the War and Geos project on military supply chains a nd the environmental legacies of warfare.

Accumulating evidence suggests that hormonal fl uctuations across the menstrual cycle regulate extracellular matrix turnov er\, yet the temporal dynamics of these changes and their functional impli cations remain poorly understood. We present recent findings on how estrog en and progesterone modulate collagen and glycosaminoglycan turnover\, mec hanosensing capacity\, and structural properties across different phases o f the menstrual/estrous cycle. We will discuss how understanding these cyc le-dependent changes in tissue remodeling may inform strategies for optimi zing musculoskeletal health and performance in women and provide insights into tissue aging and menopausal transitions. These findings highlight the importance of considering hormonal status and cycle phase as biological v ariables in musculoskeletal research and clinical practice.\n \n\nBio: Bri anne Connizzo is an assistant professor in the Departments of Biomedical E ngineering and Mechanical Engineering at Boston University. Her research p rogram investigates the structural and mechanical properties of musculoske letal tissues—particularly tendons—with a focus on how aging\, sex dif ferences\, and mechanical loading influence tissue composition and functio n. Her work integrates multiscale biomechanics\, extracellular matrix dyna mics\, and cellular mechanobiology to understand tissue health and degener ation. Connizzo received her Ph.D. in bioengineering from the University o f Pennsylvania in 2015 and completed her postdoctoral training in the Depa rtment of Biological Engineering at MIT. Her research has been supported b y the National Institutes of Health\, including a K99/R00 Pathway to Indep endence Award and an NIGMS R35 MIRA\, and has resulted in over 40 peer-rev iewed publications with more than 2\,000 citations. In addition to her res earch contributions\, Connizzo is deeply invested in mentorship and leader ship\, devoting time to curricular development\, advisory committees\, and various student organizations on campus. She also co-founded the ORS Rese arch Interest Group on Women's Health in Orthopaedics and serves in numero us leadership roles across BMES\, ORS\, and ASME. She was recently recogni zed with the 2026 Early Career Excellence in Research Award from BU's Coll ege of Engineering and the 2024 Early Career Award from the Journal of Ort hopaedic Research.

Apples are the principal cash crop in India’s western Himalayas\, where commercial cultivation has sustained livelihoods and tra nsformed landscapes since the waning years of British colonial rule. Today \, rising temperatures and increasingly volatile weather threaten the ecol ogical conditions on which this industry depends. Horticultural and climat e scientists describe these changes through the diagnosis of “insufficie nt chill\,” referring to a decline in the winter cold apple trees requir e to blossom and bear fruit. For people involved in the apple economy\, ho wever\, insufficient chill names a broader crisis: the growing difficulty of reproducing orchard life amid ecological uncertainty and economic preca rity.\n\nDrawing on ethnographic and archival research in orchards\, whole sale markets\, scientific institutions\, and farming communities across Hi machal Pradesh and Indian-administered Kashmir\, this talk follows growers and migrant laborers as they graft\, prune\, harvest\, pack\, and transpo rt apples. It examines how efforts to adapt to climate change reorganize a grarian relations and transform the labor\, knowledge\, and technologies t hrough which orchard life is reproduced. In doing so\, it asks what it mea ns to live and work well within an apple industry confronting an uncertain future.\n\nParijat is a doctoral candidate in sociocultural anthropology\ , with graduate minors in Science and Technology Studies and Feminist\, Ge nder\, and Sexuality Studies. He is a cultural and environmental anthropol ogist whose research examines agrarian and ecological transformation in th e Western Himalayas. His dissertation focuses on apple cultivation and cli mate change within a rapidly shifting landscape of industrial monoculture\ , analyzing how environmental stress\, market pressures\, and technologica l interventions reshape agricultural livelihoods.\n\nTrained in visual ant hropology\, Parijat incorporates visual methods both as a research methodo logy and as an analytic approach to questions of labor\, value\, and envir onmental change. His commitment to place-based inquiry developed during hi s MA in South Asian Studies at the University of Washington and has deepen ed through sustained ethnographic fieldwork in the Western Himalayas.\n\nH is research has been supported by a Wenner-Gren Foundation Dissertation Fi eldwork Grant\, an Amit Bhatia Global Research Grant\, and multiple Foreig n Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships.

By read ing through these documents\, we will examine slave-naming practices in Ch osŏn Korea (1392–1897)\, where an estimated 30~40% of the total populat ion lived in bondage. By analyzing two representative documents\, a 1570 w ill distributing sixty-one slaves among five heirs and a 1702 household re gister listing 116 slaves\, we will encounter many enslaved individuals wh o were customarily assigned contemptuous birth names invoking animals\, ex crement\, poverty\, bodily defects\, and sexual organs. In contrast to man y slave societies which marked slave bodies through tattooing\, branding\, and collars\, Chosŏn society developed a systematic psychological method of dehumanization through derogatory naming practices. Jaeyoon Song argue s that the unusual longevity of Chosŏn slavery without a single recorded case of large-scale slave uprising was in part due to an elaborate method of semiotic stigma and onomastic segregation that fostered servility among the enslaved and confined them to the condition often described as “soc ial death.”\n\nAbout Cornell Classical Chinese Colloquium\nThe group mee ts monthly during the semester to explore a variety of classical Chinese t exts and styles.

Meanwhile\, many once-numerous bird populations are ra pidly shrinking. In North America alone\, research led by Cornell scientis ts has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades\, reflecting wides pread pressures such as habitat loss\, climate change\, pollution\, and in vasive species. \n\nA collaboration among Cornell University Library\, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and the Cornell Muse um of Vertebrates\, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction\, as well as some br ought back from the brink\, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades.

The best-known example of high-temperature electrocatalysis is solid oxide fu el cells. Beyond energy conversion\, there are many other applications wh ere the electrocatalytic cells can be used in electrolytic mode or ion pum p mode to drive reactions that are thermodynamically not favorable\, by ap plication of an electrical bias. High temperature electrocatalysis offers many advantages\, ranging from improved kinetics to increased ionic and el ectronic conductivity\, from scalability and modularity to the availabilit y of a wide range of electrode materials that do not rely on precious meta ls. The challenges include the materials compatibility\, cell-fabrication issues and the difficulty of characterizing the electrocatalytic phenomena under operating conditions. Examples of high-temperature electrocatalysis from our research group\, including co-electrolysis of CO2 and H2O\, ammo nia synthesis from H2O and N2\, and oxidation reactions\, such as oxidativ e dehydrogenation of lower alkanes and oxidative coupling of methane will be presented. New tools being developed to characterize electrocatalytic p henomena using techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy and near-a tmospheric X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at the synchrotron facilities will be discussed.\n \n\nBio: Umit S.

Against a politica l landscape that frames Islam as an insular and adversarial presence\, thi s talk follows a Muslim civic organization in India as it seeks to establi sh Islam as an ethical resource across religious boundaries. By tracking t he group’s shift away from attempts at sermonic reform toward ordinary p ractices of volunteering and charity\, the talk examines how organizers ne gotiate majoritarian governance to carve a social space for Islam that ext ends beyond Muslim identity. Although prevailing scholarship generally con siders efforts to render religious traditions publicly accessible as unwit tingly complicit with secular dominance\, I argue that this critique misse s their potential to extend an ethos beyond its usual territory.\n\nNomaan Hasan is a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow in the College of Arts & Sciences at Cornell University. His current book project seeks to develop conceptua l resources for living with difference at a moment when cultural particula rity is mobilized by exclusionary political projects. Drawing on ethnograp hic fieldwork in India\, it explores the ideological and aesthetic strateg ies through which ordinary citizens confront the rise of post-liberal popu lism.

Here we pursue this idea by recasting the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis in the la nguage of random walks. The key ingredients are the strikingly aleatory be haviour of Möbius coefficients on square-free integers and of Dirichlet c haracters on prime numbers. Their statistical randomness can be tested wit h remarkable precision. From this viewpoint\, the critical line Re s=1/2 a cquires a natural physical meaning: it is the universal 1/2 scaling expone nt characteristic of unbiased random walks.

Since the mid-twentieth centur y\, Latin American and Latinx authors\, artists\, and filmmakers have mobi lized a variety of representational techniques to draw attention to this e nvironmental injustice. Yet the mandate to critique capitalism’s debilit ating impact intersects uneasily with the representation of disability. Be cause toxicity is invisible to the naked eye\, to render it legible\, writ ers and artists have often turned to the human body as both sign and sympt om. But crafting the disabled body as a stand-in for capitalist harm runs the risk of reducing disability to damage. This talk explores the affordan ces and limits of genre—specifically horror and comedy—when it comes t o life in agro-toxic aftermath.\n\n \n\nBio\n\nCarolyn Fornoff is Associat e Professor of Latin American Stuin the Department of Romance Studies at C ornell University. Carolyn Fornoff’s research explores cultural respons es to environmental crisis in Latin America\, with a particular focus on M exico and Central America. It asks how art helps narrate and make sense of problems like climate change that are temporally expansive and often diff icult to see with the naked eye. She is the coeditor of two volumes in the environmental humanities: Timescales: Thinking Across Ecological Temporal ities (University of Minnesota Press\, 2020) and Pushing Past the Human in Latin American Cinema (SUNY Press\, 2021). Fornoff’s first book\, Subj unctive Aesthetics: Mexican Cultural Production in the Era of Climate Chan ge (Vanderbilt University Press\, 2024)\, traces how contemporary filmmake rs and writers in Mexico have shifted away from art’s evidentiary functi on (its ability to prove environmental crisis) and toward more subjunctive registers of hypothesis and uncertainty that grapple with how the world c ould be imagined otherwise. It was awarded the 2025 LASA Mexico Forum Best Book in the Humanities Prize and an honorable mention for the 2025 LASA E nvironment Best Book Prize. \n\n \n\nPrior to joining Cornell\, Fornoff wa s a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She grew up in Austin\, Texas. She serves on the Hispanic Review and ISLE (Int erdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment) advisory boards\ , and recently cochaired the Modern Language Association’s Committee on Disability Issues in the Profession. At Cornell\, she is a member of the H umanities Council\, the Environment and Sustainability curriculum committe e\, and the Latin American and Caribbean Studies steering committee.

Covering about 10 percent of Earth’s l and and storing 70 percent of its fresh water\, glaciers have become key i ndicators of climate change. Drawing from the library’s Rare and Manuscr ipt Collections\, the exhibition features photographs from James Balog’s Extreme Ice Survey (2007–2022)\, along with items from professor of ge ography and geology Ralph Stockman Tarr’s pioneering expeditions to Gree nland and Alaska (1896–1911)\, highlighting Cornell University’s contr ibutions to modern glaciology. \n\nRivers of Ice will be on view in the Di vision of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Hirshland Exhibition Gallery through August 2027. Rivers of Ice is part of a series of exhibits titled From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell\ , hosted by unit libraries of Cornell University Library in partnership wi th departments and groups on campus.\n\nThis exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. ’59 and Evalyn Edwards ’60 Milm an Exhibition Fund and the Richard N.

However\, delivering light within biological environments remains challen ging because conventional optical fibers are fabricated from rigid materia ls that are mechanically incompatible with soft tissues and difficult to i ntegrate into complex living systems. In this webinar\, I will discuss our efforts to develop hydrogel optical fibers based on nanoparticle-polymer composites that combine tissue-like mechanical properties with programmabl e optical functions. By engineering nanoparticle composition\, polymer net work architecture\, and fiber geometry\, we establish design principles go verning light transmission and scattering in soft photonic materials. Thes e principles have enabled hydrogel optical fibers for applications spannin g biomedicine and biomanufacturing. In the nervous system\, we developed m echanically compliant optical interfaces for light delivery and signal col lection in the brain\, nerves\, and muscles of freely moving animals\, min imizing tissue damage and improving long-term optical coupling. In bioreac tors\, we engineered scattering hydrogel fibers that redistribute light th roughout dense algal cultures\, overcoming the severe light attenuation th at limits conventional photobioreactors. The above two examples demonstrat e how hydrogel fibers can bridge optics and biology and create new opportu nities for human-machine interface and sustainable biomanufacturing.\n \n\ nBio: Xinyue Liu is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical E ngineering and Materials Science at Michigan State University. She earned her B.S. in polymer science from Sichuan University in 2015 and her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT) in 2021\, followed by postdoctoral training at MIT. Her research seek s to establish network topology as a design principle for soft materials\, enabling programmable control over phase separation\, fracture\, optical transport\, and molecular transport. Her lab integrates polymer physics\, biomaterials\, and nanocomposites to develop hydrogel optical fibers\, mec hanoresponsive biomaterials\, and living-cell-laden matrices for applicati ons spanning neural interfaces\, regenerative medicine\, biosensing\, and sustainable biomanufacturing. Liu has been recognized with the NSF CAREER Award\, the ACS Petroleum Research Fund Doctoral New Investigator Award\, Journal of Materials Chemistry B Emerging Investigator\, and Forbes 30 Und er 30 Asia.

The book examines five case studies o f misogynistic strategies used to police modern patriarchies: containment\ , punishment\, exploitation\, erasure\, and enabling. Miller-Idriss shows that misogyny and gender-based violence in intimate and everyday settings are among the most reliable and unequivocal predictors of support for and precursors to mass\, public\, and targeted violence. She argues that recen t increases in violent extremism are partially explained as violent retren chment and reassertion of traditional patriarchy. And finally\, Man Up con tends that all forms of hate and hate-fueled violence—including racist\, anti-immigrant\, antisemitic\, and Islamophobic ideas and attacks—are l inked by the connective tissue of misogyny and gender-based bigotry.\n\nBi o:\n\nDr. Miller-Idriss’s work represents a bold and incisive analysis o f the link between misogyny and far-right extremism throughout the Western Hemisphere.

She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the Un iversity of Michigan in 2003. She now holds an appointment as Professor in the School of Public Affairs and the School of Education at American Univ ersity and is the founding director of the Polarization and Extremism Rese arch & Innovation Lab (PERIL).\n\nCynthia Miller-Idriss is a leading schol ar in the study of extremism\, radicalization\, and polarization\, whose w ork bridges academic research and practical interventions. Her research in forms policy\, media\, and community-based strategies to address pressing global challenges and her work offers critical insights into understanding and preventing the dynamics of hate and violence.\n\nIn addition to her a cademic work\, Miller-Idriss writes frequently for mainstream audiences\, both as an opinion columnist for MSNBC and in additional essays\, with rec ent by-lines in The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Foreign Affairs\, The Washington Post\, The Boston Globe\, CNN\, The Hill\, Politico\, The Guard ian\, Le Monde\, Salon\, and more.

Still others remember that it was within those crumbling edifices that the y first discovered the magic of the movies\, and made deep\, lasting conne ctions.\n\nCinema Pe Cinema\, a remarkable documentary by Vani Subramanian and Cornell professor emeritus Mary Norman Woods\, meanders through theat res in small towns and big cities across India\, creating a memoryscape of women and men whose lives have been touched by single screen cinemas. As subjects reminisce about the cinema-going experience and its connections t o their lives\, the film becomes an act of resistance against forgetting\, helping to keep alive both memories of these iconic theatres and the film s they showed through traces of their audio\, visual\, and physical epheme ra. With more and more single screen cinema theatres shuttering across Ind ia\, Cinema Pe Cinema testifies to the importance of the single screen the atre-going experiences during in polarized times and the age of multiplex cinemas.\n\nFilmmaker Vani Subramanian and producer Mary N. Woods\, Profes sor Emerita in the College of Art\, Architecture\, and Planning\, will joi n for a post-screening conversation.\n\nFree admission!

For the earliest English and French col onies in the Caribbean\, nothing could be further from the truth. Between 1570 and 1670\, a multinational assortment of privately funded ship captai ns\, sailors\, merchants\, and adventurers engaged in widespread practices of captive-taking and human trafficking throughout the Caribbean. Raids a gainst coastal communities and regional shipping in the region ensnared mu ltitudes\, including free and previously enslaved people of African and In digenous descent\, who found themselves trafficked into slavery away from their communities of belonging. Beginning in the 1570s\, their captors est ablished maritime bases on small\, strategically located islands throughou t the region. Those anchorages served as temporary settlements for norther n European traffickers decades before their respective monarchs sanctioned official colonies. Colonization thus started with practices of captive-ta king and human trafficking\, which remained central to the development of the first English and French colonies in the Caribbean.\n\nThrough extensi ve research in Spanish\, French\, and English archives in Europe and the C aribbean\, The Predatory Sea offers a fresh perspective on how captivity a nd maritime violence shaped early English\, French\, and Dutch settlement. Drawn from sources across imperial archives\, the book reveals the experi ences of those ensnared in this trade. Many captives escaped to Spanish po pulation centers\, where they testified to officials about what they witne ssed in early English\, French\, and Dutch colonies. Those testimonies inf ormed a series of Spanish attacks on foreign settlements in the Caribbean over the decades leading up to the 1650s. Captives were cause and conseque nce of inter-imperial competition and warfare during this violent century of Caribbean history. This captive economy\, as explicated in The Predator y Sea\, shaped English and French colonization\, inter-imperial competitio n\, and the lived experiences of captives and their captors.\n\nAbout the speaker\nCasey Schmitt is an Associate Professor of History at Cornell Uni versity where she researches and teaches on early modern colonization\, mo bility\, empires\, and slavery.

In this intermediate workshop\, participants will learn how to use tidycensus to call the available Census APIs\, and import and work with Census data in R. We will also learn how to utilize Census data for data visualization in R\, and will look at several other R packages for calling government d ata APIs as well. \n\n \n\nParticipants should have a basic understanding of R\, RStudio\, and the tidyverse\, and should request a Census API key (https://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html) prior to the session. If you want to learn the basics of using R\, please see the full list of introdu ctory R workshops hosted by CSCU. \n\n \n\n \n\nBy the end of this worksho p\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the function of the tidy census R package and how to utilize it to interact with the Census API. \ n\nMake an API request using the tidycensus package. \n\nUtilize Census d ata for statistical analysis and data visualization \n\nUnderstand how to locate and utilize R packages for other government data APIs\, such as th e Bureau of Labor Statistics. \n\nThis is a hybrid event.

In the years to centuries before they exp lode\, they lose material that forms a complex circumstellar environment\, preserving a record of their final stages of evolution. When the supernov a blast wave encounters this surrounding material\, the resulting interact ion generates emission across the electromagnetic spectrum\, offering a un ique opportunity to probe both the explosion and the progenitor's mass-los s history. In this colloquium\, I will present how multi-wavelength observ ations—from radio and optical to X-ray wavelengths—are transforming ou r understanding of circumstellar interaction in supernovae. Recent observa tions reveal that circumstellar environments are remarkably diverse\, refl ecting a wide range of progenitor properties and mass-loss mechanisms. By combining observations across different wavelengths\, we can constrain the density\, geometry\, and composition of the circumstellar material\, prov iding new insights into the final evolutionary stages of massive stars. I will discuss recent observational results that highlight this diversity an d demonstrate how coordinated multi-wavelength studies are reshaping our p icture of stellar death. These findings offer important clues to the poorl y understood processes governing mass loss in the final years before core collapse.

This seminar is co-sponsored with CSI.\n\nOver the past two decades\, parenthood in the United States has become increasingly del ayed\, optional\, and diverse\, suggesting that it is undergoing a process of deinstitutionalization similar to\, but distinct from\, marriage. This talk explores this possibility through a review of the regulative\, norma tive\, and cultural-cognitive pillars of parenthood\, as well as a novel s urvey experiment designed to assess the strength of contemporary fertility norms. Whereas institutionalization would imply a prescriptive and uncond itional norm characterized by high intensity and broad consensus\, the sur vey experiment reveals a norm that is proscriptive or bipolar\, conditiona l\, of moderate intensity\, and characterized by low consensus\, providing evidence consistent with the deinstitutionalization of parenthood.

Although it has undergone o ver a century of investigations\, much of the city’s urban social organi zation has come into focus over only the last few decades and major questi ons remain unresolved concerning its political economy and system of gover nance. In this presentation I draw from my own research at four parts of t he city—the Moon Pyramid\, Tlajinga district\, Plaza of the Columns\, an d Great Compound—and synthesize work of other colleagues to provide a pe rspective on Teotihuacan’s unique apartment living\, modular social orga nization\, and mix of commercial and institutional economies.\n\nDavid Car ballo is Professor of Anthropology\, Archaeology\, and Latin American Stud ies at Boston University. He earned his BA in Political Science from Colga te University (1995) and his PhD in Anthropology from UCLA (2005). Carball o specializes in the archaeology of Latin America\, especially central Mex ico\, but has also conducted research in Honduras\, Belize\, Peru\, and th e US\, with topical interests in households\, urbanism\, religion\, social inequality\, and working with contemporary communities in understanding a ncient ones. Current investigations focus on Teotihuacan’s Tlajinga dist rict\, a cluster of non-elite neighborhoods on the periphery of the city\, and the Great Compound\, hypothesized to have served as its central marke tplace or as an administrative complex. Recent books include Urbanization and Religion in Ancient Central Mexico (2016)\, Teotihuacan: The World Bey ond the City (ed.\, 2020)\, Collision of Worlds: A Deep History of the Fal l of Aztec Mexico and the Forging of New Spain (2020)\, Collective Action and the Reframing of Early Mesoamerica (2024)\, and Teotihuacan: A Social History of a Sacred City (2027).\n\nCo-sponsored by Cornell Institute of A rchaeology & Material Studies and Latin American and Caribbean Studies.

They are embedded in growing \, resource-limited cells whose physiology changes over time and across en vironments. This coupling between circuit function and host dynamics creat es both challenges and opportunities for biological design.\n\nIn this sem inar\, I will discuss my group’s efforts to understand and control synth etic gene circuits as multiscale dynamical systems. I will first describe a growth-coupled modeling framework that explains emergent circuit behavio rs in batch culture by linking molecular regulation\, resource allocation\ , and population growth. I will then present our development of an optogen etic feedback-control platform that enables real-time regulation of gene e xpression in living cultures. Together\, these studies show how mechanisti c modeling and experimental control can be integrated to close the loop on synthetic biology.\n\nwill conclude by discussing how this framework can be extended toward dynamic biomanufacturing\, robust non-model microbial c hassis\, and programmable living therapeutics\, where precise control over cellular behavior is essential for both performance and safety.\n \n\nBio : Chelsea Hu\, Ph.D. ’18\, is an assistant professor of chemical enginee ring at Texas A&M University. She received her Ph.D. in chemical and biomo lecular engineering from Cornell University and completed postdoctoral tra ining at California Institute of Technology. Her research sits at the inte rface of synthetic biology\, systems engineering\, and dynamical control\, with a focus on building quantitative frameworks and experimental platfor ms to model\, measure\, and control living systems. Her group develops mul tiscale models of gene circuit dynamics\, optogenetic feedback-control pla tforms\, and engineered microbial systems for applications in biomanufactu ring and living therapeutics.

Beginn ing in the 1970s\, Peruvian poetry embraced the city and explored the poss ibilities of colloquial language to represent the experiences and aspirati ons of a rapidly expanding urban population. During the economic and polit ical crises of the 1980s and 1990s\, these representations became increasi ngly marked by violence\, instability\, and social fragmentation. In the n eoliberal era\, Lima emerges as a city shaped by market logic and its cont radictions. Drawing on Walter Benjamin’s concept of the flâneur\, this presentation argues that contemporary poetry reimagines Lima as a space wh ere political critique and poetic resistance converge.\n\n \n\nCarlos Vill acorta Gonzáles is a writer and Professor of Latin American Literature at the University of Maine.

In s uch settings\, actions both impact the system state and determine what inf ormation about it is observed. Accounting for this dual role is crucial fo r designing reliable algorithms for learning and control\, for application s ranging from robotics to personalized recommendation systems. In this ta lk\, I will discuss recent work in the setting of partially observed dynam ical systems with linear state transitions and bilinear observations. Insp ired by the rich line of work on learning and control for linear systems\, our goal is to understand how much (and which) data is necessary for reli able decision-making.\n\nFirst\, I will discuss learning from observations when the dynamics are unknown and provide finite data error bounds and a sample complexity analysis for inputs chosen according to a simple random design. Second\, we will consider the optimal control problem with the obj ective of minimizing a quadratic cost. Despite the similarity to standard linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control\, neither does the separation prin ciple (SP) hold\, nor is the optimal policy affine in the estimated state. Under certain conditions\, the SP-based controller locally maximizes the cost instead of minimizing it\, and instability can result from a loss of observability. By accounting for how the actions impact state estimation\, I will introduce an MPC controller based on receding horizon planning in the belief space. I will conclude with a discussion of open questions on c ontrol design and end-to-end guarantees.\n\nBased on joint work with Yahya Sattar\, Sunmook Choi\, Yassir Jedra\, Leo Maynard-Zhang\, and Maryam Faz el.\n \n\nBio: Sarah Dean is an assistant professor of computer science at Cornell University.

Beneath the central leve l\, though\, politics are prone to abuses like those found in many countri es\, including the amassing of unfettered power by local bosses. This talk draws on a fieldwork-based project that carefully examines the relatively little-studied topic of horizontal accountability in Taiwan’s cities an d counties. As in most democracies\, local councils there have the duty of checking and balancing the executive. Yet in practice\, mayors and magist rates often develop many means of thwarting such scrutiny. The ability or inability of councils to fulfill these responsibilities provides a window on the overall health of democracy. We examine councils’ struggles with formidable and controversial executives such as Ko Wen-je of Taipei (柯 文哲\, 2014–2022)\, Fu Kun-chi and Hsu Chen-wei of Hualien (傅崐萁 、徐榛蔚\, 2009–present)\, and others. The framework developed for t his study reveals new aspects of Taiwan’s politics and also promises to help make sense of problems that are widespread in local governments in th e United States\, Latin America\, and elsewhere.\n\nSpeaker's Bio: Ben Rea d ‘93 is a professor of politics at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. His research has focused on local politics in mainland China and Ta iwan\, and he also writes about issues in field research and comparison. H is books include Roots of the State: Neighborhood Organization and Social Networks in Beijing and Taipei (2012)\, and Field Research in Political Sc ience: Practices and Principles (2015). He co-edits the Cambridge Elements series in Politics and Society in East Asia. As an undergraduate he major ed in Asian Studies\, minored in International Relations\, and wrote for t he Cornell Daily Sun. His personal website is https://benread.net.\n\nAbou t East Asia Program\n\nAs Cornell’s hub for research\, teaching\, and en gagement with East Asia\, the East Asia Program (EAP) serves as a forum fo r the interdisciplinary study of historical and contemporary East Asia. Th e program draws its membership of over 45 core faculty and numerous affili ated faculty\, graduate\, and undergraduate students from eight of Cornell ’s 12 schools and colleges.

L unch will be served. For questions\, contact seap@cornell.edu.\n\nAbstract \n\nHow does monastic authority become visible? This presentation examines the aesthetics of Thai Buddhist monasticism\, focusing on the sensory dim ensions through which appearance\, bodily presence\, comportment\, and aff ect generate perceptions of sacred authority. Drawing on ethnographic rese arch\, media analysis\, and twenty focus groups with Thai Buddhist laypeop le\, I compare two contrasting forms of monastic masculinity: the restrain ed\, ascetic authority of forest monks and the softer\, more intimate and ornamental charisma of kruba monks of the northern region. These contrasti ng “monastic idols” demonstrate that masculinity within the Thai sangh a is neither singular nor fixed but continually produced through embodied and aesthetic practices.\n\nThe second part turns to female monastic pract ice to ask how sacred authority is assembled in the absence of institution al recognition. For fully ordained women and precept nuns\, bodily discipl ine\, religious spaces\, teaching\, community care\, and mediated public p resence work together to make sacredness perceptible to lay supporters. Ra ther than conforming to or rejecting gendered expectations\, female monast ics construct legitimacy through an assemblage of aesthetic and religious practices. Comparing these forms of monastic authority reveals how aesthet ics both reproduce and reconfigure gender\, legitimacy\, and sacred presen ce in contemporary Thai Buddhism.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nBrooke Schedneck is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Rhodes College. Her resear ch focuses on contemporary Buddhism\, particularly in Thailand\, where she has spent years teaching and conducting fieldwork. She is the author of R eligious Tourism in Northern Thailand\, which was shortlisted for the Euro SEAS Humanities Book Prize in 2022\, and Living Theravada: Demystifying th e People\, Places\, and Practices of a Buddhist Tradition (Shambhala\, 202 3).

Meanwhile\, many once-numerous bird populations are ra pidly shrinking. In North America alone\, research led by Cornell scientis ts has shown that the continent’s total number of birds has declined by an estimated 2.9 billion adults over just a few decades\, reflecting wides pread pressures such as habitat loss\, climate change\, pollution\, and in vasive species. \n\nA collaboration among Cornell University Library\, the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, and the Cornell Muse um of Vertebrates\, the exhibit Last Call: Bird Decline and the Threat of Extinction spotlights bird species lost to extinction\, as well as some br ought back from the brink\, or thrillingly rediscoved after many decades. Featuring specimens\, historical illustrations\, photographs\, video and s ound recordings\, the exhibit showcases how these resources help scientist s better understand bird decline and loss\, as well as how conservation ef forts can help them recover. \n\nThis exhibit is concurrent with related e xhibits at Mann Library: Keeping Common Birds Common: Birds and Habitat at Cornell Botanic Gardens and Beyond\, and Going to Gone: Earth's Biodivers ity Loss and What We Can Do About It.\n\nJoin us for an opening celebratio n for these exhibits on Thursday\, April 16\, with a lecture by Cornell L ab of Ornithology researcher Jordan Boersma on "Finding Hope in the Search for Lost Birds" at 4:00 p.m. in Mann Room 160\, and a reception at 5:00 p .m. in the Mann Library Gallery.

To t ackle this pressing policy problem\, this project delves into the strategi c behavior of states in alliances with nuclear security guarantors or patr ons. It asks two main questions. First\, how do nuclear umbrellas produce risky security outcomes – namely\, moral hazard – that can potentially entrap nuclear patrons into military engagement with adversaries? And sec ond\, how can alliances be designed to prevent these risky outcomes and yi eld positive dividends for the international system? To explore these ques tions\, we pursue three lines of inquiry. First\, we develop a new theoret ical framework that explores the duality of nuclear umbrellas – their be nefits and burdens. Second\, we employ a series of large-n statistical tes ts exploring the United States as patron and its relationship with various treaty allies and their adversaries over time. Third\, we examine this lo gic and mechanisms through a series of in-depth case studies\, including T aiwan\, the United Kingdom\, and NATO. The manuscript concludes with valua ble insights and recommendations for policymakers focused on grand strateg y and the broad network of U.S. alliances.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nRupal N .

He has had the opportunity to present works around the world. His musi c has been commissioned and performed by musicians and ensembles such as T alea Ensemble\, Wavefield Ensemble\, Ensemble Linea\, Alarm Will Sound\, E nsemble Intercontemporain\, EXAUDI vocal ensemble\, San Francisco Contempo rary Music Players\, Elaine Mitchener\, Jennifer Koh\, Splinter Reeds\, th e Left Coast Chamber Ensemble\, Duo Cortona\, Third Sound\, and the Univer sity of California\, Berkeley Symphony Orchestra. In addition to concert m usic\, his practice intersects with visual and performance art\, most nota bly in RIGOR\, a collaboration with visual artist Nicolás Rupcich and com missioned by violinist Jessica Ling (2021)\; the performance installation Absence in relief (April 2021)\; IMY/ILY – a monodrama for solo percussi onist\; The trauma you keep safe is the pain your pass along (2018) for fl utist\, performer\, and video\; and the installation Communication (2013). Amadeus holds degrees in Music from the University of California\, San Di ego and the University of California\, Berkeley. Amadeus is currently the Senior Curator\, Arts & Music at the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media an d Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.\n\nI n recent work\, Amadeus explores what he calls the “erotics” of sound production\, or how a body\, as a physical form and as a container for per sonal experience\, is a nexus for a multiplicity of possible meanings. His current practice stems from the belief that each body is physically uniqu e and comes with its own manifold history which can and should be expresse d in the music. Amadeus sees the work of music as finding and cultivating lyricism while foregrounding the [physical] struggle that creates it. Insp ired and educated by the musical modernism of the 20th century\, Amadeus w ishes to expand the genre’s potential as an expressive tool for composer s beyond its origins. His work is often developed in close collaborations with performers which provoke conversations about consent and trust\, comp licity and gaze\, and power dynamics in performance.

Aft er having traveled together in China and across the high seas for several months\, the group gathered in a lodge to bid farewell to the man responsi ble for bringing them together. At the emotional banquet\, poems were comp osed on behalf of the monk Enchin 円珍 (814–891)\, who later became he ad of the Tiantai/Tendai 天台 school of Buddhism in Japan. Enchin’s hi gh status and importance in the history of Japanese Buddhism allowed for t he preservation of eighteen of these poems in a document titled Tōjin sō betsushi narabini sekitoku 唐人送別詩幷尺牘. The poems\, mostly wr itten by merchants from southern China\, provide some distinctive insights into Tang society through their engagement with the themes of Buddhism\, friendship\, scenic beauty\, and even politics. They also constitute some of the earliest extant writings by merchants in East Asia. In examining th ese compositions\, we will see that although many follow contemporary Chin ese trends and conventions\, they also offer rare glimpses into the medioc re and imperfect Tang works that are otherwise lost to posterity. This col loquium will welcome a range of perspectives on the poems\, focusing not o nly on how they align with the poetry of the period\, but also on the ways in which they might be perceived as subpar\, flawed\, or below the high s tandards set by the tiny fraction of esteemed Tang poems preserved in the present day. Of equal importance will be consideration of what these poems can tell us about their writers\, local Chinese society\, religious excha nge\, and\, broadly speaking\, the world in which they were produced.\n\nA bout Cornell Classical Chinese Colloquium\nThe group meets monthly during the semester to explore a variety of classical Chinese texts and styles. O ther premodern texts linked to classical Chinese in Japanese\, Korean\, an d Vietnamese have also been explored. Presentations include works from the earliest times to the 20th century. Workshop sessions are led by local\, national\, and international scholars. Participants with any level of clas sical Chinese experience are welcome to attend. \no At each session\, a presenter guides the group in a reading of a classical Chinese text.

Simply put\, path analysis is a series of linear regressions. Hence\, the same assumptions that we have for linear regression hold for path analysis. Path models are often accompanied with a path diagram\, so the reader and researcher alike can visualize the com plex system of relations.\n\nMediation is something we can test for in a p ath model. Mediation occurs when a variable X affects a variable Y partly or completely through an intermediate variable M. Although both path analy sis and mediation analysis are commonly used in the social sciences\, they have become popular tools in other fields.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will focus on the terminology and notation commonly used in path analysis and s tructural equation models\; understand how to determine if a model is unde r-identified\, just-identified\, or over-identified\; as well as interpret and estimate direct\, indirect\, and total effects.\n\nThe workshop will include a hands-on component using the R statistical software package. Par ticipants should install the most recent versions of both R and RStudio on their computers prior to the workshop. For information on how to install R and R Studio\, please visit: https://cscu.cornell.edu/installr. The lava an package will be used to estimate the path models.\n\nThe workshop is ap propriate for faculty\, research staff\, graduate students\, and advanced undergraduate students.

Scholarship on colonial Islam has large ly told a story of resistance: European empire as a provocation\, and Pan- Islam as the insurgent reaction. By contrast\, this talk shows how the Raj ’s formal and informal empire in Asia and Africa\, together with its mat erial surrogate of free market capitalism\, created skeins of connectivity and unity among transcolonial Muslims. Colonial Sharia\, first codified i n Bengal and then exported around the ocean’s rim\, juridically bound an d defined Muslim identity from South Asia to the Straits Settlements\, the Swahili Coast\, and Arabia. Meanwhile\, the growth of colonial-era market relations drew far-flung coreligionists into shared\, if unequal\, circui ts of exchange\, triggering mass labor migrations in and among Muslim soci eties\, propelling steamship journeys to Mecca\, and weaving liens of debt and obligation throughout the Islamic world. The talk argues that the Raj ’s oceanic empire crucially shaped modern Muslim projects of worldmaking until the First World War\, whether by enabling connections of sociabilit y among Cairine religious reformers and Bombay merchant-financiers\, or by inciting discourses of economic self-sufficiency among Indian and Turkish Pan-Islamists. However\, the racialized orders of colonial governance\, c oupled with the immanent inequities of capitalism\, ultimately also forecl osed the constitutional and anticolonial possibilities that many Muslims a cross the Indian Ocean strove to imagine. \n\nRishad Choudhury is a histor ian of modern South Asia and the Indian Ocean\, from ca. 1750 to decoloniz ation. His work centers on how power is exercised in and on Muslim societi es\, and how political genealogies are shaped by regional and global histo ries of empire and colonialism. Choudhury’s first book\, Hajj across Emp ires: Pilgrimage and Political Culture after the Mughals\, 1739-1857 (Camb ridge\, 2024)\, examined how South Asian Muslims navigated the revolutiona ry age between Mughal imperial decline and British colonial consolidation by forging transregional ties through pilgrimage to Arabia and the Ottoman world. For a preview of the book’s themes\, you can read a short piece I wrote for the Cambridge University Press blog. Rishad was formerly an Ac ademy Scholar at the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies\, a Kluge Fellow at the Library of Congress\, and a Member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study. Rishad is now work ing on two new books. The first\, Mughal Enlightenment: The Command of Sub jects in Colonial Thought\, reconsiders how Persian – a classical lingua franca of India and the Indian Ocean – transformed under colonial rule. It reveals how Mughal munshis (scribal workers) engaged with European sou rces and actors to coproduce novel vernacular epistemologies of science\, art\, narratology\, medicine\, ethnography\, and political economy. The se cond is a history of the Nawabs of Dacca\, a merchant clan turned landed d ynasty that used a colonial peerage to reinvent themselves as neo-Mughal n obles loyal to the Victorian Raj. The book reconstructs the family’s piv otal role in broader currents of Muslim communal mobilization in modern So uth Asia.

Yet for mu ch of the world\, the risks of AI are far more immediate: misrepresentatio n\, exclusion\, stereotyping\, and the erosion of dignity. These harms dis proportionately affect communities that are already marginalized — inclu ding people with disabilities and those in non-Western cultural contexts.\ n\nIn this talk\, I argue that current approaches to AI safety are limited not only in scope but in standpoint. When safety is defined from dominant social and geographic positions\, the harms that matter most to marginali zed communities become invisible\, anecdotal\, or secondary. Drawing on ca se studies from my work with people with disabilities in the US and India\ , I show how AI systems both promise expanded access and simultaneously re produce cultural bias\, ableism\, and structural inequities. I conclude by outlining pathways toward a globally grounded approach to AI safety — o ne that treats representation\, cultural context\, and participatory gover nance as core safety challenges rather than peripheral concerns.\n\nBio: D r. Aditya Vashistha is an Assistant Professor of Information Science at Co rnell University\, where he directs the Cornell Global AI Initiative\, a u niversity-wide effort to integrate global perspectives into the design\, e valuation\, and governance of AI. His research focuses on building and stu dying AI systems that advance equity for historically marginalized communi ties\, particularly across South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. His work has led to widely deployed systems impacting over 300\,000 people and has rec eived multiple best paper awards.

He will also s hare insights from his time in chemical engineering that have carried him over the years\, such as the role of mentorship\, the bedrock of ethical c onduct\, and how serendipity favors the prepared mind.\n\nAfter Cornell\, but before turning to a legal career\, Judge Murphy followed the path of h is mentors at Cornell\, obtaining a Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Calte ch\, where he was an NSF fellow. There\, he worked in the laboratory of Pr ofessor Mark E. Davis on a thesis entitled “Methods for Collection and P rocessing of Gene Expression Data.” He was also chair of Caltech’s Gra duate Review Board\, and obtained a patent on his work\, two experiences t hat got him thinking about the law. From there\, he attended Harvard Law S chool\, where he was editor-in-chief of the Harvard Journal of Law and Tec hnology\, and then served as a clerk for Chief Judge Kimberly A. Moore of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Before being appointed to the court\, Judge Murphy was a partner at the law firm of Baker & Hoste tler in Philadelphia\, where he litigated patent\, copyright\, trademark\, and trade secret disputes. Now\, outside of the courtroom\, Judge Murphy serves on the Committee on Codes of Conduct of the Judicial Conference of the United States and the Subcommittee on Artificial Intelligence. He also teaches at Villanova Law School and Rutgers Law School and is co-author o f the last three editions of the popular law-school casebook Patent Litiga tion & Strategy.

DTSTART:20261019T210000Z DTEND:20261019T220000Z DTSTAMP:20260829T000225Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53825230316588 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:When the Yellow Vest movement rushed through the streets of Pa ris in 2018 most analysts as well as the general public were mystified and not sure how to react. It was an extraordinary movement of hundreds of th ousands of people throughout France and it was not clear whether it repres ented the left or the right or even whether such categories were still rel evant.\n\nI followed this movement\, joining the protests in the urban str eets and then following participants back to the provinces\, from its earl iest stages and have continued to study it and its aftermath. The Yellow V ests were comprised of “ordinary” citizens who were outraged by govern ment policies to raise the gas tax and whose anger quicky morphed into opp osition to the cutbacks in state transportation services\, healthcare and education. The Yellow Vests faced the kind of massive opposition from the police that we have seen on the streets of Minneapolis and elsewhere in th e United States.\n\n Americans might not use the same language\, but the p aper discusses some parallels with the community reactions to ICE raids\, Trump’s gutting of public institutions\, and the skyrocketing cost of es sential items and services.\n\nThis paper analyzes the ways in which grass roots movements have regrouped in new ways to combat growing incursions i n democratic expectations combined with the transformation in class relati ons and the ever-increasing inequality of the current era.\n\n***\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nIda Susser\, PHD is Distinguished Professor of Anthropolog y at the Graduate Center and Hunter College\, CUNY. Her recent book The Ye llow Vests and the Battle for Democracy: taking to the streets of Paris in the 21st Century (Routledge 2026) focuses on commoning movements and new visions. Her previous books include: Norman Street (Oxford\, 2012) a study of working class opposition to cutbacks during the New York City fiscal c risis and the transition of Greenpoint-Williamsburg from a working class n eighborhood to a gentrified enclave\, and AIDS\, Sex and Culture: Global P olitics and Survival in Southern Africa (Wiley-Blackwell 2009)\, a history of the power of social movements to transform health.\n\nAbout the Event\ n\nThis event is hosted by the Institute for European Studies (IES)\, part of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies.

This book demonstrates that medi eval Jewish legal thought was forged in dialogue with various and competin g schools of Islamic law. Herman homes in on the central doctrine of post- biblical Judaism: the notion that God had supplemented the written Hebrew Bible with an Oral Torah. Tracing medieval interpretations of this idea fr om Baghdad to Córdoba to Cairo\, three major centers of medieval Jewish l ife\, Herman reveals previously unrecognized commonalities between Jewish and Islamic constructions of religious law. For medieval Jews and Muslims alike\, legal theory was a primary form of religious self-fashioning\, and as such\, it must be understood in light of the cross-cultural discourses in which it was fashioned.\n\nMarc Herman is an assistant professor in th e Department of Humanities at York University who focuses on Jewish and Is lamic intellectual history in the medieval Mediterranean and Judeo-Arabic law. Marc graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and held postdocto ral fellowships at Columbia University\, Fordham University\, Harvard Univ ersity\, Rutgers University\, the University of Michigan\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and Yale Law School. He is the coeditor of Accounting fo r the Commandments in Medieval Judaism: Studies in Law\, Philosophy\, Piet ism\, and Kabbalah (Brill\, 2021) and Worlds of Jewish Law: Premodern Lega l Cultures in the Making (currently under review). His first book\, After Revelation: The Rabbinic Past in the Medieval Islamic World\, was publishe d by the University of Pennsylvania Press in August 2025. Marc’s current project reconstructs the writing\, rewriting\, and transmission history o f Maimonides’s Book of the Commandments.

This talk uses tha t relationship as a way into hacking itself: its different cultures\, hist ories\, and politics. Hacking has never been one thing—phreaks\, free so ftware developers\, the underground\, security researchers\, artist- activ ists—each with their own ethics and histories. The media\, however\, has usually focused on just one group at a time\, and which group got attenti on often depended on the political milieu. At first\, journalists mostly t reated hackers as threats or oddities. Later\, as technology became more w idespread and complex\, journalists began to seek out hackers for their ex pertise. Sometimes reporters approached these experts\, but hackers also m ade themselves visible and available to journalists. They had shared their knowledge for years in zines like 2600 and Phrack\, and groups like the L 0pht and the Chaos Computer Club staged public interventions to force medi a coverage. I will end by discussing what changed after 2010\, when hacker s began doing journalism themselves through leaking and hacking. Newsrooms had to re-work out the ethics of publishing stolen material and of depend ing on sources they were still uneasy about.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nGabri ella (Biella) Coleman is a full professor in the Department of Anthropolog y at Harvard University and is a faculty associate at the Berkman Center f or Internet and Society.

It captur es sensible temperature excess\, while ignoring both the latent heat burde n of humidity and the thermodynamic efficiency penalties that warmer outdo or conditions impose on cooling systems. As cooling becomes a dominant lin k between weather and grid stress\, that omission increasingly matters. He re\, we introduce efficiency-weighted cooling degree day (eCDD)\, which in corporates compressor performance and the sensible-latent partitioning of cooling load directly into the index. Applied to hourly historical atmosph eric reanalysis data (ERA5) and future climate model projections (CMIP6)\, North America exposes a tug-of-war: temperature and inlet vapor pressure exert opposing controls on cooling efficiency\, sometimes reinforcing and sometimes cancelling\, producing systematic under- and over-estimation of cooling trends by traditional metrics depending on which side dominates. E xtending this globally\, that tension resolves into four distinct thermody namic regimes: moisture-dominated\, drying-dominated\, compound amplificat ion\, and compensating. Weighting for population shows where people actual ly sit within these regimes and mapping that population into an efficiency –load phase space reveals that humanity's collective operating point has drifted toward warmer and more humid conditions over the last 25 years\, a shift driven by demographics rather than climate alone. These trajectori es continue further under future emissions scenarios by 2100. Overall\, we show that cooling efficiency is also governed by climate\, not merely eng ineered into machines.\n \n\nBio: Jake Casselman is a postdoctoral researc her in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Hawaiʻ i at Mānoa\, where he works with Christina Karamperidou on the intersecti on of climate variability and building energy systems.

Fro m eighteenth-century descriptions of Alpine and Icelandic snowfields to mo dern analytical techniques\, items on view reveal how scientists\, explore rs\, and photographers have studied glaciers to better understand Earth’ s geological and climate history. Covering about 10 percent of Earth’s l and and storing 70 percent of its fresh water\, glaciers have become key i ndicators of climate change. Drawing from the library’s Rare and Manuscr ipt Collections\, the exhibition features photographs from James Balog’s Extreme Ice Survey (2007–2022)\, along with items from professor of ge ography and geology Ralph Stockman Tarr’s pioneering expeditions to Gree nland and Alaska (1896–1911)\, highlighting Cornell University’s contr ibutions to modern glaciology. \n\nRivers of Ice will be on view in the Di vision of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Hirshland Exhibition Gallery through August 2027. Rivers of Ice is part of a series of exhibits titled From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell\ , hosted by unit libraries of Cornell University Library in partnership wi th departments and groups on campus.\n\nThis exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. ’59 and Evalyn Edwards ’60 Milm an Exhibition Fund and the Richard N.

For questions\, contact seap@cornell.edu. \n\nAbstract\n\nThis presentation draws together critical agrarian studies and the geopolitics of knowledge production to examine how inheritance re mains unsettled\, both for those who inherit land in Southeast Asia and fo r those who inherit the work of studying it. The talk unfolds in three par ts. The first establishes a conceptual foundation grounded in village-leve l land politics\, bringing foundational theories of property\, access\, an d exclusion into conversation with one another. The second draws on a deca de of editorial experience with the journal Forest and Society\, reflectin g on efforts to decenter academic publishing and elevate a new generation of scholarship from the region. The third looks toward a future for area s tudies built on regional networks\, using joint field schools as a model. This model has functioned as a mechanism for institutional parity with Sou theast Asian universities\, while also working to build equitable partners hips with local communities. I conclude with a framework for rethinking re source governance and collaborative pedagogy together in the study of cont emporary Southeast Asia.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nMicah R. Fisher\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor at the Matsunaga Institute for Peace & Conflict Resolution at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa\, and Senior Researche r with the Forest and Society Research Group at Hasanuddin University in M akassar\, Indonesia. He studies how land\, forests\, and livelihoods are t ransformed across Indonesia and Southeast Asia through commodity booms\, c onservation policy\, and shifting resource claims. This research is ground ed in over two decades of long-term fieldwork in South Sulawesi\, East Kal imantan\, and Jakarta. He is co-Editor-in-Chief of Forest and Society\, a leading journal in Southeast Asian forest governance\, and serves as Confe rence Chair of the 2027 Biennial of the International Association for the Study of the Commons\, to be hosted in Sulawesi\, Indonesia. He also leads the Henry Luce Foundation–funded LuceSEA Transitions Field Schools\, a partnership with Southeast Asian universities. He holds a Ph.D. in Geograp hy and the Environment from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. His curr ent book project\, Inheritance\, traces the aftermath of the first formal return of state forest lands to an Indigenous community in Indonesia.

This seminar is co-sponsored with CSI.\n\nFertility in the U.S . has been declining since the Great Recession\, even while the economy ha s recovered. One hypothesis for this decline is that the costs of raising children\, especially housing—many families' largest single expense—ha s increased faster than wages. We show that the relationship between housi ng costs and fertility is age-specific and dynamic\, and has undergone dra matic shifts since the Great Recession.

How (if at all) does t he nature of personhood and personal identity across time bear on question s of agency? What is the nature of\, and relation between\, moral and crim inal responsibility? What is the relation between responsibility and the m etaphysical issues of determinism and free will? What do various psycholog ical disorders (autism\, psychopathy\, cognitive disabilities) tell us abo ut agency and responsibility? What is involved in the development of moral agency? What is the will\, willpower\, and weakness (or strength) of will ? What do the results from neuroscience imply (if anything) for our questi ons about agency and responsibility? What is the nature of autonomy and ho w is it related to agency and responsibility?\n\nWork in agency and respon sibility\, while more or less having a home base in the world of moral phi losophy\, draws from a host of cross-disciplinary sources\, including mora l psychology\, psychology proper (experimental\, developmental\, etc.)\, p olitical economy\, philosophy of psychology\, philosophy of law\, legal th eory\, metaphysics\, neuroscience\, neuroethics\, social norm theory\, pol itical philosophy\, and more. It is unified by its focus on who we are as deliberators and (inter)actors\, embodied practical agents negotiating (so metimes unsuccessfully) a world of moral and legal norms. This Keynote Tal k will introduce the topics and discussions which will be held at Cornell University on October 24th. Though the workshop is by-invitation only\, th is Keynote is open to the Cornell community.

Through close readings of posts by Korean American community organiza tions\, collectives\, cultural workers\, and movement practitioners\, it t races how grassroots creators situate U.S. militarism on the Korean penins ula within interconnected histories of settler colonialism\, global capita lism\, and indigenous dispossession. Kim develops the concept of the ante- colonial\, a trans-indigenous analytic oriented toward precolonial epistem ologies and anticolonial futures that denaturalizes the nation-state\, for egrounds indigenous relationality\, and enables a planetary critique of em pire rooted in care\, kinship\, collective liberation\, and decolonial pos sibility.\n\nSpeaker's bio: Sandra So Hee Chi Kim is an Assistant Professo r of Asian and Asian American Studies at Stony Brook University. A transna tional cultural studies scholar of Asian American studies\, critical Korea n studies\, and the study of modern empire\, her work appears and is forth coming in Positions: Asia Critique\, Korean Studies\, Verge: Studies in Gl obal Asias\, and Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies\, among othe r journals.

Their annual performance at Sage Chapel is a highlig ht of the spooky season in Ithaca!\n\nFaust—directed by the legendary F. W. Murnau—centers on an elderly alchemist named Faust (Gösta Ekman) who makes a pact with the demon Mephisto (Emil Jannings) to gain the power to protect his village from plague. Faust soon succumbs to temptation and as ks Mephisto to restore his youth and help him acquire all the hedonistic p leasures that earth can offer. Eventually\, his love affair with a young w oman named Gretchen (Camilla Horn) leads to tragic and devastating consequ ences for them both.\n\nFaust is the quintessential “deal with the devil ” tale based on a centuries-old European legend and Johann Wofgang Goeth e’s 1808 play\, which is considered one of Germany’s greatest literary works. The play also inspired the famous opera by Charles Guonod which di rector F.W. Murnau used as a map for his 1926 film. (Fun fact: Faust is th e opera being presented in Gaston Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera\, which Cornell Cinema featured at Sage Chapel last year.) Virtually every "sell y our soul" type story from the film Crossroads to songs like "The Devil Wen t Down To Georgia" owes a debt to Faust — whether their creators realize it or not!\n\nThe event will take place at Sage Chapel\, Ho Plaza\, Ithac a\, New York. More information about parking and directions is available o n our website.\n\nSpecial event pricing applies and all tickets must be pu rchased online in advance.

In the past decade\, hundreds of agriculture technology (agtech) start-ups ha ve emerged\, promising to design and scale technologically mediated sustai nability solutions. India has become a significant destination for investm ents in these start-ups\, offering a unique vantage point to examine their impacts. This talk traces how aspirations to address the ecological crisi s urgently and at scale intersect with the complex environmental\, social\ , economic\, political\, and cultural relationships that shape agriculture . Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) of rice fields\, a technique aimed at mitigating emissions by killing methanogenic soil bacteria\, has gained t raction among tech entrepreneurs as a key sustainability program for reduc ing emissions. Based on institutional ethnography at an Indian agtech star t-up\, this talk examines why and how technological interventions like AWD consistently face challenges\, often fail\, and yet continue to reappear. What drives their persistence despite repeated failures on the ground? Ho w are these tied to the financing and scaling models of climate-smart tech nologies? By addressing these questions\, the talk highlights the tensions and contradictions at the heart of scaling tech-entrepreneurial sustainab ility and their implications for addressing the intertwined crises of clim ate change and agriculture.\n\n \n\nNikhit Agrawal is a postdoctoral assoc iate working on carbon and data governance in the Natural Resources and th e Environment program at Cornell University. He completed his PhD in socio cultural anthropology at UCLA in March 2026. His research examines tech-en trepreneurial promises of scaling sustainability in contemporary agricultu re. Agrawal’s work has been published or forthcoming in Economic Anthrop ology\, Critique of Anthropology\, Journal of Agrarian Change\, Economic & Political Weekly\, Scroll.in\, The Wire\, India in Transition\, and The I ndian Express. He has received grants from the Wenner-Gren Foundation\, th e UCLA International Institute and the Center for India and South Asia. Hi s awards include the Robert B. Edgerton Endowed Award and the Eric R. Wolf Award from the Society for the Anthropology of Work\, American Anthropolo gical Association.

Linear regression s uffers in two important ways as the number of predictors becomes large. Fi rst\, overfitting may occur\, meaning that the fitted model does not relia bly generalize beyond the particular data observed. Second\, it becomes di fficult to interpret the fitted models. Penalized regression methods addre ss both of these issues by “shrinking” some of the regression paramete r estimates towards zero in order to identify a small number of predictors on which a reliable model can be built.\nIn this workshop\, we will\n\n· introduce the challenges of building models with large numbers of v ariables\n· give a conceptual explanation for ridge regression\, th e Lasso\, and elastic net\n· demonstrate how these methods can be p erformed on an example dataset\n· explain how to interpret the stan dard plots and outputs associated with penalized regression\n· expl ain how cross validation is used within the context of the penalized regre ssion\n\nWe will assume familiarity with linear regression. The code demon strations will be performed in R. However\, the workshop should be useful to those who do not use R\, and we will briefly discuss performing penaliz ed regression in other common statistical packages as well.\n\nRegister No w LAST-MODIFIED:20260812T180147Z URL:https://events.cornell.edu/event/penalized-regression-for-model-select ion-ridge-lasso-and-elastic-net X-SOURCE-NAME:Cornell Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.cornell.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Cornell Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) Grief Support Group DTSTART:20261028T153000Z DTEND:20261028T165000Z DTSTAMP:20260807T040211Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_52992485728575 CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Cornell Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) Grief Supp ort Group\nThe pain of losing a spouse\, parent\, child\, or other family member or friend is profound and often more complex than we expect.

Lisa Yang Cent er for Wildlife Health strives to sustain a healthier world by developing and implementing proactive\, science-based solutions to challenges at the interface of wildlife health\, domestic animal health\, human health and l ivelihoods\, and the environment that supports us all.\n\nThis session foc uses on insect pollinators — a group which includes bees\, wasps\, butte rflies\, beetles\, flies\, and ants — and on efforts to reverse the worr ying population declines described in the popular press as part of the “ insect apocalypse.” For the purposes of our discussion\, we will focus p rimarily on wild bees\, domestic honey bees (a non-native invasive species in North America)\, and butterflies.\n\nWhile many factors contribute to pollinator decline\, including habitat loss\, climate change\, and disease \, one of the most significant drivers is the widespread use of insecticid es. From a human‑centric perspective\, the loss of insect pollinators co uld lead to production losses of up to 90% for crops that rely heavily on them\, such as cocoa beans\, Brazil nuts\, kiwis\, and various melons. Man y other crops\, including numerous fruits and nuts\, are also highly depen dent on insect pollinators. This dimension of the biodiversity crisis\, li ke so many others\, has profound implications for human nutrition\, health \, and economies.

Bardiwil is Associate Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University. His most recent book Revolution and Disenchantment: Arab Marxism and the Binds of Emancipation (Duke UP 2020) focuses on how the 1960s Arab New Left addressed the quest ion of mediation between theory and practice\, the international circulati on of critical theory\, the genealogies of postcolonial critique\, and the traditions of intellectual inquiry and political engagement of contempora ry Arab thinkers. Bardiwil is trained as a cultural anthropologist and hi s ethnographic and historical archival research informs “fieldwork in th eory\,” to excavate texts\, examine the conditions under which they were produced\, received\, translated\, and how they authorized political prac tice. Bardiwil’s latest project re-reads the theoretical and political work of Edward Said and Talal Asad from a current vantage point to explore what was at stake for them in developing their own exilic/diasporic criti cal agendas\, and to re-think the question of war\, and violence. \n\n \n\ nBardiwil publishes in a variety of venues: English language publications such as American Ethnologyist\, boundary2\; Comparative Studies of South Asia\, Africa and the Middle East\, South Atlantic Quarterly\, and Arabic journals\, e-zines and alternative media platforms. He has been contributi ng to the Arabic edition of the Journal for Palestine Studies since 2010 a nd has written for the Syrian opposition e-zine al-Jumhuriyya. Since Octob er 2019\, he has contributed weekly op-eds and longer essays to Megaphone\ , a Lebanese online independent multi-media platform.\n\n \n\nBefore joini ng the faculty at Duke\, Bardawil taught at University of North Carolina –Chapel Hill and the University of Chicago. He was a Global South Visit ing Scholar at Princeton University (2025-26)\, and a faculty member at Co rnell’s School of Criticism & Theory (2025). He was a member of the Sch ool of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study (2016-2107) and EUME fellow in Berlin (2010-2011).

Community lecture\, part of the Language\, memory\, future: Celebrating 250 years o f language in our region event series.\n\nAmerican Sign Language is more t han a system of communication. For generations of Deaf people\, ASL has be en deeply connected to place\, community\, history\, and identity. Schools for the deaf have historically served not only as educational institution s but also as important sites where Deaf children encounter other Deaf peo ple\, acquire ASL\, develop cultural identities\, and establish lifelong s ocial networks. These schools have often become anchors around which local Deaf communities\, organizations\, businesses\, social events\, and tradi tions develop. Yet this landscape is changing. As schools for the deaf clo se\, consolidate\, or reduce their Deaf-centered environments\, the physic al and institutional places that have historically nurtured local Deaf com munities are disappearing. What happens to a community when one of its pri mary gathering and language-development spaces is no longer there? And wha t happens to a language when its traditional sites of transmission and soc ialization are displaced?\n\nBrenda Schertz is Teaching Professor of ASL\, Cornell University\, coordinating and teaching in Cornell’s ASL/Deaf St udies Program. Brenda’s main interests include American Sign Language ( ASL) and Deaf studies\, concentrating on Deaf culture art\, film and theat re. Including coordinating annual film festivals in Maine and Rochester\, NY.\n\nASL/English interpretation will be provided.

Recent advances in implantable bioelectronics have enabled simultaneous recordings of hundreds of neurons in behaving animals. Howev er\, existing neural interfaces often remain bulky\, constraining animal b ehavior\, and rigid recording electrodes do not allow recording the same n eurons over multiple days due to tissue micromovements\, limiting the stud y of learning and memory mechanisms.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present our recently developed implantable platforms for large-scale\, long-term neura l recording and manipulation in rodents and other animals. We created pary lene-C–based\, high-density flexible electrodes using a multilayer desig n and micro-patterned conducting polymers\, achieving a higher density-to- volume ratio than existing silicon probes. These devices allow stably trac king hundreds of the same neurons for months\, overcoming the limitations of rigid recording electrodes.\n\nWe further engineered a wireless neural interface enabling untethered recording and closed-loop modulation in free ly behaving small animals. Direct under-chip bonding of flexible probes yi elded a compact system weighing under 1.2 g. Integrated onboard sensors ca ptured behaviorally relevant variables\, including locomotion\, vocalizati on\, and pupil dynamics. An AI-driven embedded signal-processing pipeline detected neural and behavioral biomarkers in real time to trigger targeted interventions. Together\, these technologies have enabled us to investiga te neural mechanisms of behavior under conditions that were previously ina ccessible.\n \n\nBio: Antonio Fernandez-Ruiz is an associate professor at the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in Cornell University. He stud ied physics and biology at the Universities of Sevilla and Madrid\, in Spa in. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Madrid\, where he develope d machine learning methods to study the biophysical basis of brain dynamic s. He then moved to New York University to work as a postdoctoral fellow i n the laboratory of Gyorgy Buzsaki. His research focused on the neural cir cuit mechanisms of learning and memory in rodents. His work elucidated how the temporal coordination of excitatory and inhibitory inputs mediates co mmunication between brain areas and supports learning. He developed a nove l approach to causally probe the role of specific patterns of neural activ ity in behavior and used it to demonstrate the key function of neuronal se quence in memory formation.\n\nThe overarching mission of his lab at Corne ll is to understand how neuronal dynamics in distributed brain circuits su pport complex cognitive functions and how small imbalances can lead to pat hological states. His group investigates the algorithmic and mechanistic u nderpinnings of learning\, memory and decision making in health and diseas e at the computational\, circuit\, and cellular levels. Work from his labo ratory elucidated how cellular heterogeneity and circuit dynamics contribu te to the computational capabilities of hippocampal and cortical structure s\, found novel circuit for the associative and predictive functions of me mory and discovered how the temporal organization of brain dynamics in sle ep contribute to memory consolidation and integration. They also develop n ovel technology for a more precise interrogation of neural circuit activit y in health and disease.\n\nAntonio is a Pew\, Klingenstein and Sloan Scho lar\, and the recipient of the Gruber International Research Award in Neur oscience (SfN)\, the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists in the Life Scie nces\, the Freedman Prize for Exceptional Basic Research (BBRF)\, the New Innovator Award (NIH) and the MIND Prize (PSF).

Metal oxidizing bacteria are critically impo rtant for the hydrometallurgical processing of copper\, gold\, and other s ulfidic ores. Approximately 20% of the world’s copper production involve s microbial oxidation of minerals in the world’s largest bioreactors. We have pioneered the development of genetic tools for the engineering and a pplication of the iron and sulfur oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic acidophi le\, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. We gained new insights into their uni que physiology and engineered them for new traits including accelerated gr owth\, enhanced bioleaching\, salt tolerance\, and critical material recla mation. In addition to cells\, we are also invested in using biomolecular engineering to improve critical metal binding and separation. We have rece ntly developed new proteins for rare earth element and other critical mate rial bioseparations under acidic conditions.

Once dismissed as escapist fantasy\, Bollywood’s emotionally charged songs now serve as tools for self-transformation in what has been dubbed “Aspirational Ind ia.” Drawing on more than two years of fieldwork in Mumbai\, I trace how upcoming singers\, amateur students\, teachers\, and Bollywood producers use Bollywood songs to perform what I call “dreamwork”: the musical an d discursive work of promoting\, imagining\, and striving for desired selv es and futures. Across playback singing schools\, reality television shows \, and the broader music industry\, filmi singing is a site of both imagin ative potential and precarity\, promising social mobility while reinscribi ng inequalities of caste\, class\, and gender. Rather than dismissing my i nterlocutors’ aspirational dreams\, however\, I argue that we must take their musical dream work seriously in order to understand the cultural dyn amics of emerging neoliberal economies. Through the lens of dreamwork\, I theorize the efficacy of musical practice as a tool for shaping subjectivi ty while outlining a political economy of the imagination in relation to m usical practice.\n\nAnaar Desai-Stephens is Assistant Professor of Ethnomu sicology at the CUNY Graduate Center\, having previously served as a facul ty member at the Eastman School of Music\, University of Rochester.

Bukelismo in Latin America’s Unlikel y Democracies DTSTART:20261103T172000Z DTEND:20261103T182000Z DTSTAMP:20260831T180221Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53682108326953 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Uris Hall G-08 \n\nWhy is Bukele-style punitivism gaining tra ction in Latin America’s least likely democracies? This talk examines Ch ile and Uruguay\, two countries long treated as regional exceptions becaus e of their stable party systems\, stronger states\, and comparatively low levels of violence. Both now face a post-pandemic transformation of organi zed crime\, but they processed the shock differently: Chile’s decomposed party system turned insecurity into punitive competition\, while Uruguay ’s more legitimate parties initially channeled it through deliberation a nd cross-partisan coordination. Yet both cases are converging toward the s ame demand for authoritarian shortcuts. I argue that this convergence refl ects state erosion from below: the declining centrality of the state and f ormal economy in organizing citizens’ life chances\, reinforced by party -society detachment\, expanding informal and illegal markets\, and the tim e compression of democratic governance. Bukelismo is less a leader-driven export than the political name for a structural demand democracies increas ingly struggle to contain\, manage\, and fulfill.\n\n \n\nJuan Pablo Luna is the Inaugural Diamond Brown Chair in Democratic Studies at McGill. Whil e mainly focused on comparative Latin American politics\, his research ana lyzes how socio-structural conditions such as social inequality and state capacity shape democratic institutions and development trajectories. In re cent years\, he has researched how organized crime dynamics is contributin g to reshape politics\, states\, and markets in Latin America.

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. Significant hazards for a particular juice\, puree\, or concentrate are id entified based upon scientific information. The steps at which these hazar ds can be controlled within the process are identified\, and the critical limits at each of the key process steps are set. Monitoring procedures are implemented to evaluate conformance with these critical limits. The HACCP plan relies on extensive verification and documentation to assure that fo od safety has not been compromised. Thus\, HACCP provides a structure for assessing risks or what could go wrong\, and for putting the controls in p lace to minimize such risks.\n\nUnder the federal Juice HACCP rule publish ed in 2001\, juice processors must comply with two requirements: (1) Subpa rt A of the rule requires use of HACCP principles and systems in their ope rations\; (2) Subpart B of the rule requires that processors implement tre atment(s) to reduce a theoretical population of “pertinent” microorgan isms in the juice by 99.999%or 5-log cycles. The “pertinent” microorga nism is defined as the most resistant microorganism of public health signi ficance that is likely to occur in the juice.\n\nJuice processors that mee t the definition of “retail” establishments are not covered by the fed eral juice HACCP regulation but must comply with other federal and state r ules that regulate juice production. Retail establishments are manufacture rs that prepare and provide all of their juice production directly to cons umers and do not sell or distribute (wholesale) juice to other businesses. \n\nThis 1 day Juice HACCP Certification Course includes:\n\n• Introd uction to food safety and the HACCP system\n• The regulation\n• Hazards\n• Prerequisites to HACCP\n• Commercial processing examp le\n• Hazard Analysis & Preventative Measures (Principle 1)\n• I dentification of Critical Control Points (Principle 2)\n• Establishme nt of Critical Limits (Principle 3)\n• Critical Control Point Monitor ing (Principle 4)\n• Corrective Actions (Principle 5)\n• Verific ation (Principle 6)\n• Record Keeping Procedures (Principle 7)\n• Sources of info\n\nThis certification course will be in-person and held in G34 Food Research Lab\, Cornell AgriTech\, 665 W North Street\, Geneva\ , NY 14456.

Dominant approaches in international relations tend to locate strateg ic capacity in actors and their material resources\, treating relations pr imarily as channels for cooperation\, competition\, or influence. This lec ture advances a theory of relational geopolitics in which strategic capaci ty is generated through relationships themselves. In the process\, relatio ns reshape actors’ interests\, identities\, resources\, and ability to a ct. The theory proposes four mechanisms connecting relational configuratio ns to geopolitical outcomes: resource aggregation\, institutional conversi on\, reciprocal commitments\, and relational redundancy. These mechanisms can also operate in reverse when collective action fails. I develop the a rgument through the European Union’s emerging strategy of total defence. Across military preparedness\, economic security\, infrastructure\, enlar gement\, societal resilience\, and external partnerships\, the EU is desig ning strategic effects through a system of institutions\, collective ident ities and relationships rather than through centralized command. The lectu re concludes by outlining a comparative research agenda for studying relat ional power\, deterrence\, resilience\, and breakdown across alliances\, r egional organizations\, non-Western regional formations\, and contested in ternational orders.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nDr. Veronica Anghel works at t he intersection of comparative politics and international relations. As an assistant professor at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies she co-directs the European Governance and Politics Programme and leads the ‘Global Risks to the EU’ project. Her current research focuses on the European Union’s geopolitical role in the global order\, and European in tegration and enlargement.

However\, the systems needed to recover thos e materials are often considered only after the equipment reaches the end of its life.\n\nPhilip Bove will share what Sunnking Sustainable Solutions sees from the recycler’s perspective and how reverse logistics\, reuse\ , material separation\, reporting\, and research partnerships can turn dif ficult waste streams into reliable feedstock. Examples will include Sunnki ng’s battery circularity work with Cornell University\, its solar-panel recycling project with Intel-E-Waste and Penn State\, and the opportunitie s and challenges created by hyperscale AI data-center construction and equ ipment turnover.\n\nThe seminar will connect university research with the practical realities of collecting and processing complex material streams at scale. It will also explore how Sunnking’s expansion and Western New York’s research and industrial resources can support more circular suppl y chains for energy and computing infrastructure.\n \n\nBio: Philip Bove i s Director of Business Development at Sunnking Sustainable Solutions\, a N ew York-based electronics recycler and IT asset disposition company.

Making inference from a s ingle tree analysis may be severely limited by over-fitting to the dataset at hand. Minor changes to the data can greatly change the tree structure and model inference. In addition\, the recursive partitioning method used in constructing a tree is a “greedy” algorithm\, meaning that the best split at the beginning of the analysis does not always result in the best tree to characterize the entire data set.\n\nA random forest analysis inv olves creating many trees and combining the results. This process reduces the variance of resulting model predictions through bagging (repeatedly sa mpling the training data) and decorrelating the trees (randomly subsetting the set of predictors at each split).

Ba\, Kathleen Kaylor and G. Richard Wagoner\, Jr. Assistant Professor of Economics\, Duke University. This seminar is co-sponsored with CSI.\n\ n \n\nThis talk is based on how the protests of Summer 2020 changed the pr ovision of public safety in the United States. Linking county-level protes t exposure to a decade of voter surveys and to a panel of local police dep artments\, Dr. Ba compares protest-exposed and unexposed areas before and after the summer of 2020. We find that the protests reduced stated support for police funding by three to four percentage points\, with the decline concentrated entirely among Democratic respondents. This shift\, however\, was modest against near-universal baseline support\, had fully reversed b y 2024\, and was too small to translate into changes in police staffing or workforce composition. Instead\, institutional change occurred along less contested margins: protest-exposed departments became significantly more likely to be served by civilian crisis-response programs and to adopt surv eillance technology\, while violent crime was unchanged. These results run counter to the increasingly widespread view that the protests of Summer 2 020 failed to change American policing: rather than shrinking police depar tments\, the protests durably changed the composition of public-safety pro vision.

If we all un derstand the agrarian as the object of “development”\, whether from a post-World War II moment or earlier\, in the 19th century as I argue – t hen we also must wonder why this “development” sits alongside an ever- increasing immiseration of rural populations across the global South. I ar gue that the 1870s marks a shift towards financial logic of governance in South Asia. The talk will zoom in on attempted experiments by the colonial state with Agricultural Banks in the late-nineteenth century and on South Asian vernacular political economy and its argument for swadeshi banks in the early-twentieth century. By focusing in on the languages of self-impr ovement that connected these disparate developments\, this talk outlines m y larger argument about the crucial interrelation between the agrarian and finance-led global development. In fact\, the paradoxical coming together of a new financial logic of extractive accumulation with the language of developmentalism discloses the hidden logics tying impersonal\, abstract s tructures of the global economy to ideological and intellectual trends.\n\ n \n\nMeghna Chaudhuri is James B. Duke Assistant Professor of History at Davidson College and is a fellow at the Davis Center for Historical Resear ch at Princeton University for 2026-27. She is currently working on her bo ok Invisible Attachments: Finance\, Development and Subjectify in South As ia\, 1830-1950. She completed her PhD with Distinction at NYU in 2020. Her research interests lie at the intersection of histories of science\, poli tical economy and historical capitalism. She is particularly interested in fictitious capital\, and the question of representation that materializes itself\, as often seems to be the case with financial value. Coming out o f her first project\, her second book project will explore Bombay’s hist orically shaped form of urbanism and the consistent relationship between i ts spatial expanse and financial foundation through land reclamation schem es and financial bubbles over two centuries.\n\n\nCosponsored by the Cañi zares Center for Emerging Markets\, Tata-Cornell Institute for Agriculture and Nutrition\, and Department of Economics.

The Navy expected it to read and write w ithin a year. Nearly seventy years later\, the Pentagon is again betting o n AI to revolutionize war\, while industry leaders promise that recursive self-improvement and superintelligence are just around the corner. Why doe s the military accept exceptional expectations about AI despite repeated d isappointment? Part of the answer is rethinking technology hype. Because w e cannot fact-check the future\, hype is better understood as performative discourse than as exaggeration. This expectant\, dramatic\, and imminent discourse can be studied in real time\, regardless of whether it proves tr ue. Part of the answer is remembering forgetfulness. Learning supposedly t empers expectations\, but forgetting can reset them. I trace AI hype from Dartmouth and DARPA through the Lighthill Report\, Strategic Computing\, a nd the Third Offset. I show that hype runs on both hope and fear\, and tha t the exceptional expectations it evokes cycle as technical performance an d forgetting interact.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nFrank L.

Prior to the fi rst Trojan encounter\, Lucy flew by two never-before-visited main-belt ast eroids: asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh in 2023 (Levison+2024) and asteroid (5 2246) Donaldjohanson in 2025 (Marchi+2026). Here I will present the first geologic map of the observed portion of Donaldjohanson\, which is ~8 km lo ng and appears to be an elongated contact binary composed of two lobes (th e bigger named Olduvai Lobus and the smaller Afar Lobus) joined by a narro wer neck (named Windover Collum). We infer that mass wasting flowed from O lduvai Lobus to Windover Collum and from Windover Collum to Afar Lobus. We also observe that the chains of depressions and grooves have a preferred orientation and potential en echelon patterns\, which we interpret as pit chains (see also Nichols-Fleming+2026). We use boulders to estimate the th ickness of the outer layer of looser material to be between ~17 m to ~33 m deep. We also discuss how these geomorphological observations correlate w ith modeling of the spin period and surface acceleration of Donaldjohanson .\n\nThe Marius Hills pit is within the large Marius Hills volcanic platea u on the Moon and is often interpreted as a lava tube entrance\, making it a feature of interest for future human exploration (Haruyama et al.\, 200 9\; Robinson et al.\, 2012\; Wagner and Robinson\, 2022). I will present o ur regional geologic map of the area surrounding the Marius Hills pit to p rovide a contextualizing geologic history. We describe in detail features representing an earlier stage of higher viscosity volcanism and a later st age of lower viscosity volcanism. The pit may be formed by collapse into a n underlying lava tube\, suggesting lava tube stacking. Using our geologic map and relevant datasets\, we develop suitability models for potential f uture landing sites and traverses\, which would visit key locations for sc ientific exploration while avoiding hazards. We therefore provide a founda tion for potential future exploration of this pit\, which is timely given the current interest in non-polar locations for future lunar exploration a nd because such lunar pits provide a tantalizing option for human settleme nt protected from many of the hazards of the lunar surface.\n\n \n\nBio: I am a planetary geologist with expertise in geologic mapping\, geomorpholo gic analysis of impact craters and mass wasting deposits\, analysis of str uctural\n\nfeatures (e.g.\, fractures and faults) and laboratory experimen ts.

Cen tering the everyday use of aluminum pans and the scientific history of alu minum\, Bowles traces how an ordinary object mediates power relationships between traders and the state\, facilitate modes of protection and mutuali ty among workers\, and animates racial capitalism and uneven accumulation in a contemporary African city. In addition\, this work explores intimacy and fugitivity as ethnographic methods that uncover porter work as a prot otype of the global gig economy and the improvisational strategies of prec arious workers. \n\nLaurian Bowles is Vann Professor of Racial Justice\; A ssociate Professor & Chair in the Department of Anthropology\; and Direct or of the Davidson in Ghana Program at Davidson College.\n\nBio:\n\nI am a cultural and visual anthropologist who researches\, writes and teaches ab out social mobility and the visual economies of women’s labor in Ghana a nd the African Diaspora. My research attends to the way women’s activism take shape through ordinary forms of mobilization and refusals in public and intimate spaces. I am especially interested in the haptic nature of ph otographs\, the circulation of pictures as material artifacts\, and the wa y race\, class\, and queerness are formed through visual storytelling.\n\n I have published articles in Feminist Anthropology\, Visual Anthropology R eview\, The Journal of African History and African Arts.\n\nMy book\, Head strong: Women Porters\, Blackness and Modernity in Accra (Penn Press\, 202 5) draws on a decade of fieldwork with women porters in Ghana to illustrat es how antiblackness\, queer sexual politics\, and feminized labor inform state and social sensibilities about what constitutes progress and moderni ty in Accra.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Institute for African Development\; th e Feminist\, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program\; the Africana Studies and Research Center\; and the Department of Communication.

In Ind ia\, rapid urban growth\, rising temperatures\, shifting rainfall patterns \, and more frequent heat waves are transforming the environments where mo squitoes and the diseases they carry thrive. While malaria has declined dr amatically in many Indian cities thanks to sustained public health efforts \, dengue has continued to increase\, raising important questions about ho w climate\, urbanization\, and mosquito control interact to shape disease risk. Our research brings together ecologists\, epidemiologists\, climate scientists\, mathematicians\, economists\, and public health practitioners from the United States and India to better understand these changing risk s. We are investigating how local climate conditions\, human movement\, an d the built environment\, particularly construction sites where migrant wo rkers often live\, and mosquitoes can persist year-round\, contribute to t he spread of malaria in rapidly growing cities. By combining field observa tions with climate data and mathematical models\, we aim to identify where mosquitoes are most likely to survive and where disease transmission is m ost likely to occur before outbreaks begin. Working closely with municipal health departments and national partners\, we are developing practical to ols that can help guide mosquito surveillance and control of the places an d times where they will have the greatest impact. Ultimately\, this work w ill support India’s malaria elimination goals while providing a framewor k for protecting rapidly urbanizing communities around the world from mosq uito-borne diseases in a changing climate.\n\n \n\nCourtney C. Murdock is currently an associate professor in the Department of Entomology at Cornel l University (2020-present). She received a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Spanish literature at the University of Michigan (1997-2001). She then we nt on to pursue a PhD in disease ecology at the School of Natural Resource s and Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan (2002-2009) . Murdock was a post-doc in the Departments of Biology and Entomology at P ennsylvania State University (2009-2014)\, after which she joined the Univ ersity of Georgia as an assistant professor in the Department of Infectiou s Diseases and the Odum School of Ecology (2015-2020). A consistent theme of Murdock’s research program has been the application of ecological and evolutionary theory to inform our understanding of mosquito-borne disease transmission\, as well as our disease management strategies. Research con ducted in Murdock’s group spans multiple scales of ecological organizati on (from within host processes up to population and community-level dynami cs) involving a combination of experiments in the lab and under semi-field conditions\, as well as descriptive field studies and mathematical modeli ng to provide insight into relative mechanisms driving mosquito-borne dise ase transmission and control in the field.

Fro m eighteenth-century descriptions of Alpine and Icelandic snowfields to mo dern analytical techniques\, items on view reveal how scientists\, explore rs\, and photographers have studied glaciers to better understand Earth’ s geological and climate history. Covering about 10 percent of Earth’s l and and storing 70 percent of its fresh water\, glaciers have become key i ndicators of climate change. Drawing from the library’s Rare and Manuscr ipt Collections\, the exhibition features photographs from James Balog’s Extreme Ice Survey (2007–2022)\, along with items from professor of ge ography and geology Ralph Stockman Tarr’s pioneering expeditions to Gree nland and Alaska (1896–1911)\, highlighting Cornell University’s contr ibutions to modern glaciology. \n\nRivers of Ice will be on view in the Di vision of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Hirshland Exhibition Gallery through August 2027. Rivers of Ice is part of a series of exhibits titled From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell\ , hosted by unit libraries of Cornell University Library in partnership wi th departments and groups on campus.\n\nThis exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. ’59 and Evalyn Edwards ’60 Milm an Exhibition Fund and the Richard N.

Much of international relations theories assume that states have access to “stocks” of power\, that military\, economic\, and diplomatic tools a re readily available and ready to deploy in power-political competition. I nstead\, we argue that scholars should orient their analysis of great powe r competition around processes of collective mobilization and demobilizati on\, with the goal of identifying the strategies of mobilization that repl icate across time and space.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nI am the Betty Freyho f Johnson ‘44 Professor of Political Science and Associate Provost for\n Wellesley in the World. My research and teaching focuses on questions of g reat power competition\nand international order. My latest book\, When Rig ht Makes Might: Rising Powers and World Order was\npublished by Cornell Un iversity Press in 2018. Here I examine how a rising power’s legitimation \nstrategy affects whether a great power confronts or accommodates a poten tial challenger. If a rising\npower can portray its ambitions as legitimat e\, it can make the case that\, far from being a\nrevolutionary power\, it s advances will only preserve\, and perhaps even protect\, the prevailing status\nquo\, then great power accommodation is likely. In contrast\, if a rising power’s claims are\nillegitimate—if they are inconsistent with prevailing rules and norms—then great powers will see its\nactions as t hreatening\, making containment and confrontation likely.\n\nHost\nReppy I nstitute for Peace and Conflict Studies\, part of the Einaudi Center for I nternational Studies LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T000206Z LOCATION:Uris Hall\, G08 URL:https://events.cornell.edu/event/stacie-goddard-wellesley-college-at-t he-pacs-seminar X-SOURCE-NAME:Cornell Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.cornell.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Performing Vulnerability: Risking Art and Life in the Burmese Dias pora DTSTART:20261119T171500Z DTEND:20261119T183000Z DTSTAMP:20260807T040211Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53550686222693 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Gatty Lecture Series\n\nJoin us for a talk by Emily Hue\, Asso ciate Professor of Ethnic Studies and Southeast Asian\, Text\, Ritual\, an d Performance (SEATRiP) at the University of California\, Riverside.\n\nTh is Gatty Lecture will take place at the Kahin Center\, 640 Stewart Ave. Lu nch will be served.

Gordon Distinguished Lectureship\n\ nWilliam E. Gordon\, then professor of electrical engineering at Cornell\, proposed the construction of the Arecibo telescope in 1958 to study the E arth's ionosphere via the incoherent scatter of powerful radio waves from the individual electrons in the ionospheric plasma. He also understood tha t the telescope would be able to make significant contributions to planeta ry science and the then relatively new field of radio astronomy. Gordon ra ised the funding for the telescope and organized its construction. Complet ed in 1963\, the 305m (1000ft) diameter telescope and its powerful radar s ystems were continuously upgraded over the intervening years and were used to made major advances in the areas of ionospheric physics\, radio astron omy and planetary science. Sadly\, after fifty-seven years of ground-break ing contributions to astronomy\, planetary science and ionospheric physics the telescope collapsed on December 1\, 2020.\n\nThe Gordon Lectures are made possible by an endowment by Tom and Betty Talpey. Tom and Betty Talpe y were one of the families that moved with the Gordon's to Arecibo in the summer of 1960 to supervise the telescope's construction and build the obs erving instrumentation.\n\nhttps://astro.cornell.edu/events#the-william-e- and-elva-f-gordon-distinguished-lectureship LAST-MODIFIED:20260807T040211Z LOCATION:Space Sciences Building\, 105 URL:https://events.cornell.edu/event/cornell-department-of-astronomy-space -sciences-fall-2026-colloquium-series-2130 X-SOURCE-NAME:Cornell Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.cornell.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Information Session: Global Internships DTSTART:20261203T213000Z DTEND:20261203T223000Z DTSTAMP:20260807T040211Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53425525269011 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Go global in summer 2027!

Covering about 10 percent of Earth’s l and and storing 70 percent of its fresh water\, glaciers have become key i ndicators of climate change. Drawing from the library’s Rare and Manuscr ipt Collections\, the exhibition features photographs from James Balog’s Extreme Ice Survey (2007–2022)\, along with items from professor of ge ography and geology Ralph Stockman Tarr’s pioneering expeditions to Gree nland and Alaska (1896–1911)\, highlighting Cornell University’s contr ibutions to modern glaciology. \n\nRivers of Ice will be on view in the Di vision of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Hirshland Exhibition Gallery through August 2027. Rivers of Ice is part of a series of exhibits titled From the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell\ , hosted by unit libraries of Cornell University Library in partnership wi th departments and groups on campus.\n\nThis exhibition is funded through the generous support of the Stephen E. ’59 and Evalyn Edwards ’60 Milm an Exhibition Fund and the Richard N.

They make life worth living. However\, not everyone has equal access to these seemingly free so cial resources. Like many other valuable things in life\, 'social capital' is both a source and a consequence of inequality throughout the populatio n – something that reinforces the status quo and existing social hierarc hies. In Friends and Fortunes\, the authors painstakingly document that th e distribution of social connections in American society is as stark as in come inequality. Through detailed analyses and colorful real-life illustra tions\, they reveal how rich elites hoard both the most prized and the mos t deceptively frivolous social ties. Drawing on over one hundred measures of social capital from dozens of datasets and over one million people\, th ey explain how social networks create a remarkable and omnipresent web of connections that subtly feed hidden systems of power\, prestige\, wealth a nd\, ultimately\, life chances.

It is a space in which you will hold yourself acco untable for your learning\, and will explore different ways in which you c an improve your study techniques to ensure you also keep a healthy life/st udy balance\, which will make it sustainable.\n\nWho can join: Any student is invited to join! You will benefit the most if you commit to join all s essions\, except for instances when you're sick or are prevented from atte nding for unavoidable reasons. This will help you carve this time for lear ning about studying strategies\, organizing and planning your study sessio ns as well as using the time to practice active learning. Attending all se ssions will make it easier for you to create a study routine in a space th at fosters accountability. \n\nWhat we’ll do: We will first discuss a to pic or attend a short presentation given by Cornell staff with expertise i n different areas\, followed by hands-on practice of skills learned--many times\, you learn about a study method or how to register to request accom modations and intend to put the method into practice or fill out the form\ , only to forget to do it. This way\, you will do it and will have staff f rom the relevant office present to guide you and help you troubleshoot any issues. During the second part of the session\, you will engage in indivi dual or small group work\, evaluating your progress so far and determining what\, if any\, changes they need to make. We will be there as your accou ntability partner and will guide you as needed.\n\nWho is leading this? Fl orencia Ardon\, Lecturer and Neurodivergent Student Support Program Manage r at the Learning Strategies Center. We will also host guest speakers for certain topics as well as student staff supporting you during each session .\n\n \n\nBy attending WASS\, you will: \n\nCreate attainable goals for th e semester and a plan to achieve them\, using different active learning te chniques\, as well as effective organization and planning skills\, and met acognitive reflection.You will start implementing your plan\, with support from Cornell staff with expertise in those areas.Throughout the semester\ , evaluate strategies and techniques used as well as your own mindset\, im plementing modifications as needed.At the end of the term\, evaluate the s emester as a whole and determine strategies to use and skills to hone for the next term.Please register: https://forms.gle/eKmqiFunKB9VcfA89 LAST-MODIFIED:20260817T000241Z LOCATION:Warren Hall\, B50 URL:https://events.cornell.edu/event/weekly-accountability-support-session s-wass X-SOURCE-NAME:Cornell Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.cornell.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:America at 250: Focus on George Washington DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261209 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261210 DTSTAMP:20260807T040211Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_52923338536883 CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Declaratio n of Independence (1776–2026) with an exhibition of rare books\, letters \, and documents on the life of George Washington.\n\nThese highlights of the collection reflect the interests of Cornell’s first president\, Andr ew Dickson White\, who had a fascination with both American history and bo ok collecting.
