SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:I will talk about the work of Aizenman\, Peled\, Schenker\, Shamis and Sodin\, studying the regularizing effect of the gaussian random noise to the spectral structure of a Hermitian matrix. The authors obtain the estimates for the norm of the inverse of A + V (where A is a base matrix\, V is a random gaussian noise) and for the average number of its eigenvalues inside an interval. We will mainly focus on the proof techniques: there is a nice collection of the probabilistic and Fourier-analytic methods employed in the proof.  Speaker(s): Liza Rebrova (UM)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nI investigate the role of regulation and economic growth in shifting Brazil’s sugarcane industry from a polluting\, manual harvest to a cleaner\, mechanical harvest. I use worker- and establishment-level data to test the regulation using complementary regression discontinuity and difference-in-difference approaches. I find that regulation is\, at best\, a partial explanation\, accounting for no more than one quarter of the rapid\, widespread change in harvesting practices. I develop a tipping-point model to show how rising wages may have played an important role even though the change in wages was gradual and the change in harvesting was abrupt\; instrumental variables estimates imply that increasing wages alone are sufficient to explain the adoption of green technology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Battles in the body: within-host competition and drug resistance evolution in malaria parasites
DESCRIPTION:Drug resistant pathogens cause thousands of deaths a year and threaten our ability to treat a variety of infectious diseases\, from ‘strep throat’ to malaria. Understanding which aspects of the within-host environment limit drug resistant pathogens\, and how these ‘superbugs’ interact with other populations of pathogens in that environment\, is vital for the development of novel\, ecologically-inspired resistance management strategies. Using a malaria mouse model\, we demonstrate that a nutrient limits drug resistant malaria parasites and mediates competition between drug resistant and drug susceptible parasites. We then show that manipulating the availability of such within-host nutrients can prevent the emergence of drug resistant parasites by intensifying competitive interactions between resistant parasites and their susceptible competitors. An ecological approach thus reveals an evolutionarily robust means of thwarting the emergence and spread of drug resistance.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FALL 2016 COMMUNICATION & MEDIA SPEAKER SERIES  The Naked Blogger of Cairo: Towards an Inclusive Global Media Studies
DESCRIPTION:Uprisings spread like wildfire across the Arab world from 2010 to 2012\, fueled by a desire for popular sovereignty. In Tunisia\, Egypt\, Syria\, and elsewhere\, protesters flooded the streets and the media\, voicing dissent through slogans\, graffiti\, puppetry\, videos\, and satire that called for the overthrow of dictators and the regimes that sustained them.\n\nInvestigating what drives people to risk everything to express themselves in rebellious art\, The Naked Blogger of Cairo uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings. While commentators have stressed the role of social media\, Marwan M. Kraidy shows that the essential medium of political expression was not cell phone texts or Twitter but something more fundamental: the human body. Brutal governments that coerced citizens through torture and rape found themselves confronted with the bodies of protesters\, burning with defiance and boldly violating taboos. Activists challenged authority in brazen acts of self-immolation\, nude activism\, and hunger strikes. The bodies of dictators became a focus of ridicule. A Web series presented Syria’s Bashar al-Assad as a pathetic finger puppet\, while cartoons and videos spread a meme of Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak as a regurgitating cow.\n\nThe rise of digital culture complicates our understanding of the human body in revolutionary times. As Kraidy argues\, technology publicizes defiance\, but the body remains the vital nexus of physical struggle and digital communication\, destabilizing distinctions between “the real world” and virtual reality\, spurring revolutionary debates about the role of art\, and anchoring Islamic State’s attempted hijacking of creative insurgency.\n\nMarwan M. Kraidy is the Anthony Shadid Chair in Global Media\, Politics and Culture\, and Founding Director of the Center for Advanced Research in Global Communication (CARGC) at the Annenberg School for Communication\, University of Pennsylvania\, where he is also affiliated with the Middle East Center. An expert in global communication and a specialist in Arab media and politics\, he also researches the relationship between culture and geopolitics\, global media industries\, theories of identity and modernity\, and the political symbolism of the human body in the public sphere. Currently he is also an Andrew Carnegie Fellow.\n\nKraidy’s work is distinctive for its deep reliance on primary materials\, theoretical grounding in a multilingual literature\, and a comparative approach across historical periods\, geographical sites\, cultural forms\, and media platforms. Ongoing research focuses on war machines in the digital age (particularly Islamic State)\, speed\, spectacle and security in global communication\, and the rise and fall of Turkey in Arab public culture. He teaches courses on globalization\, culture and revolution\, the body in digital culture\, contentious publics\, and the geopolitics of popular culture.\n\nKraidy has published 10 books\, penned 120 essays and chapters\, won 50 awards for teaching and scholarship\, delivered keynote addresses and named lectures worldwide\, and advised universities\, civil society organizations\, foundations\, and governments. Notable books include Hybridity\, or the Cultural Logic of Globalization (Temple University Press\, 2005)\, and Reality Television and Arab Politics: Contention in Public Life (Cambridge University Press 2010)\, supported by a Fellowship from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and a grant from the United States Institute of Peace\, and winner of three major prizes: the Diamond Anniversary Best Book Award and the Roderick P. Hart Outstanding Book Award in Political Communication\, National Communication Association\; and Best Book Award in Global Communication and Social Change\, International Communication Association.\n\nCo-Sponsored by the Global Media Studies Initiative

SUMMARY:Other:Honors Conversion Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Honors courses are offered in a wide variety of disciplines to allow you as much flexibility as possible in choosing courses that meet your interests and academic goals. We realize\, however\, that in a college with thousands of courses offered each term\, there is no way we can offer an Honors component for every course that Honors students are interested in taking. Attend ONE conversion workshop (or make an advising appointment) for details and access to the conversion paperwork required. (This is necessary\, even if you have completed Honors course conversions in the past).

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:I Could Have Mapped All Night: Musicals from Broadway to Bollywood
DESCRIPTION:We'll have maps on display from the location and time period during which popular musicals were set. Examples: The King and I will be represented by maps of Thailand (Siam) made in 1862\; The Music Man -- Iowa\, 1912\; Les Miserables -- Paris\, 1815-1832. We'll also have maps of the theater districts of New York City and the West End.\n\nPut on your top hat\, muss up that white tie\, and come dance down the Great White Way with us. We'll explore the settings and time periods of some of the world’s most famous musicals\, spanning from Broadway to Hollywood to Bollywood. We’ll feed the birds in London\, hear the people sing in Paris\, celebrate tradition in Anatevka\, let anything go as we cross the Atlantic\, have a rumble and sing about tomorrow in New York City\, march with 76 trombones in River City\, and dance with the king of Siam. Tails optional.\n\nThird Thursday is a monthly open house that highlights items from the Clark Library’s vast map collection. These fun\, thematic events are open to everyone\, offering the community a look at some of our favorite maps and other materials.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:The Kinoshita-Terasaka and Conway knots are notoriously hard to distinguish. This is because they are related by mutation\, an operation on knots that has subtle geometric effects. Many classical and modern knot invariants cannot tell mutants apart. In this talk\, I will discuss how various flavors of knot Floer homology detect and/or fail to detect mutations. The main result is a partial proof of Baldwin and Levine's conjecture that Conway mutation preserves delta-graded knot Floer homology. Speaker(s): Peter Lambert-Cole (Indiana University)
