SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Betty Ch'maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture (2023)
DESCRIPTION:Professor Evelyn Alsultany will be delivering the Spring 2023 Betty Ch'Maj Lecture on her new book\, \"Broken: The Failed Promise of Muslim Inclusion\"\, that was just published. Join us for this amazing talk and stay for the reception that will follow! \n\nEvelyn Alsultany is an associate professor at the University of Southern California and is a leading expert on the history of representations of Arabs and Muslims in U.S. media. \n\nAbout the Betty Ch’maj Lecture: With generous support from the Ch’maj family\, the Annual Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture Series was established to honor the legacy of Betty Ch’maj. Ch'maj\, who was awarded the very first Ph.D. in American Culture in 1961 at Michigan\, continued her career researching American literature and music\, founding the Radical Caucus of ASA\, and working to challenge systematic gender discrimination in American Studies programs.\n\nRegister to join remotely: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcvd-6qrDMiE9Uot_-WWsK0yzoR63QaP4tB

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Celebrating Women's History Month
DESCRIPTION:“Celebrating Women’s History Month” will be a 90-minute presentation and dialogue on and celebrating the contributions of women throughout history. We will recognize the promotion of feminism and how it has evolved over time with discussion topics ranging from politics\, science\, art\, and culture. Through a candid conversation highlighting women’s voices across time\, we will highlight the impact of women in the industry and the contributions of women throughout the globe as well at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe experiences of minority women including but not limited to: Trans women\, trans femme women\, African American & Black women\, Latinx & Pacific Islander women\, Native American women\, East Asian women\, South Asian women\, Central Asian women\, and Middle Eastern women will be central to our workshop. Within our resident halls\, we encourage the awareness and active condemnation of misogynistic stigmas. Thus\, we will discuss not only women’s accomplishments but also the burdens they had to overcome\, and how we can all be part of a future where these burdens are removed for all individuals who identify as women.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:CGIS Virtual First Step Sessions
DESCRIPTION:CGIS offers First Steps sessions virtually (via Zoom) every Monday and Thursday from 4:00pm to 4:30pm during the academic year while classes are in session\, with the exception of holidays.\n\nFirst Step sessions are a great opportunity to learn more about the application process prior to meeting with an advisor. You can learn about all of our programs around the world\, scholarships and other financial aid resources\, the CGIS application process\, and more!\n\n*Attending a First Step session is no longer a required component of the CGIS application process.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diagrams\, Schur-Weyl Duality and Links
DESCRIPTION:The Schur-Weyl Duality is a classical result that relates the representation theory of \mathfrac{sl}_2 and the symmetric group via their action on tensor powers of \C^2. We also have a result due to Weyl Rummer and Teller that gives a diagrammatic interpretation of the\mathfrac{sl}_2  invariants of  (\C^2)^{2n}. We shall see these results and their corresponding generalizations to $U_q{\mathfrac{sl}_2)$ on one hand and the Hecke algebra on one hand. We will also make surprising connections to Link Invariants and see how our diagrammatic calculus gives us the Jones polynomial.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Egyptian Herakles and Syrian Aphrodite? Phoenician art and cultural exchange in the eastern Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Who is “Egyptian Herakles” and why did Greeks use this title when referring to the Phoenician god Melqart? Why did the ancient Greek historian Herodotos seek the origins of Heracles and Aphrodite on the Levantine coast? In this talk I juxtapose these narratives of divine origins against the backdrop or artistic developments in early Greece\, when art in the Aegean and elsewhere in the Mediterranean emulated Levantine and in particular Phoenician models. I will propose that Phoenician modes of representation (including Egyptian and Canaanite inflections) affected perceptions of cultural affiliations and origins. More generally I will address the issue of representation of the Phoenicians in Greek and biblical sources\, positively or negatively\, as agents of cultural change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISRMT Seminar: Some exact formulas of the KPZ fixed point and directed landscape
DESCRIPTION:In the past twenty years\, there have been huge developments in the study of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class\, which is a broad class of physical and probabilistic models including one-dimensional interface growth processes\, interacting particle systems and polymers in random environments\, etc. It is broadly believed and partially proved\, that all the models share the universal scaling exponents and have the same asymptotic behaviors. The height functions of models in the KPZ universality class are expected to converge to a limiting space-time fluctuation field\, which is called the KPZ fixed point. Moreover\, there is a random “directed metric” on the space-time plane that is expected to govern all the models in the KPZ universality class. This “directed metric” is called the directed landscape. Both the KPZ fixed point and the directed landscape are central objects in the study of the KPZ universality class\, while they were only characterized/constructed very recently [MQR21\, DOV18].\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss some exact formulas of distributions in these two random fields. These exact formulas are in terms of an infinite sum of multiple contour integrals\, which are analogous to the Fredholm determinant expansions. We will show some surprising probabilistic properties of the KPZ fixed point and the directed landscape using the exact formulas. Some of the results are based on joint work with Yizao Wang and Ray Zhang.\n\nA recording of the talk can be found at https://youtu.be/I4zWZXU2ZTY

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker Series. Queering and Transing the Life Cycle in Jewish Ritual
DESCRIPTION:The term “life cycle ritual” is used widely in Jewish Studies. In this talk I trace the idea of the life cycle and its development\, while considering the racialized\, gendered\, and sexual politics of the term\, and the way it borrows from biological sciences. Scholars have argued that the concept of the life cycle in Judaism originates with the rabbis in late antiquity. Eunuchs and androgynes\, who are found prolifically in rabbinic literature\, can trouble the assumption that the rabbis are invested in an orderly cycle of life. I weave together trans and queer theory with Jewish sources to examine legal attempts to channel messy embodiment into a life trajectory.   \n\nMax Strassfeld is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Arizona. They are the author of Trans Talmud: Androgynes and Eunuchs in Rabbinic Literature\, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Awards in 2022.\n\nCo-sponsors: Departments of Women’s and Gender Studies\; Classical Studies\; Center for Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT Seminar: Regular de Rham Galois representations in the completed cohomology of modular curves
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Let p be a prime. I want to explain how to use the geometry of modular curves at infinite level and the Hodge–Tate period map to study regular de Rham p-adic Galois representations appearing in the p-adically completed cohomology of modular curves. We will show that these Galois representations up to twists come from modular forms\, which was previously known by Emerton by totally different methods. One useful observation is to view modular curves at infinite level as a \"correspondence\" between classical modular curves and the flag variety.
