SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sign Languages Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:This week we will be discussing the fourth chapter of Battison's (1978) book Lexical Borrowing in American Sign Language. In this chapter (Loan Signs from Fingerspelled Words)\, she discusses the borrowing of English words into ASL via the morphophonological adaptation and semantic alteration of fingerspelled representations of English lexical items. Battison’s (1978) work is not the most modern resource on this topic\, but it is a classic\, and its analysis is both thorough and informative.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Roundtable Discussion | Scholars Under Fire: The Turkish State\, Nationalists\, and the Repression Against Study of the Armenian Genocide... 102 Years After the Events
DESCRIPTION:Michigan sociologist Fatma Müge Göçek and historian Ronald Grigor Suny have for almost two decades brought Turkish\, Armenian\, Kurdish\, and other scholars together to research\, write about\, and discuss the massacres and deportations by the Ottoman government of Armenians and Assyrians. The recent conference in Berlin\, organized as part of a series of Workshops on Armenian and Turkish Scholarship\, was threatened by the right-wing Fatherland Party (Vatan Partisi) and the Turkish government. Scholars from Turkey were prevented from attending\; demonstrations against the conference were threatened\; and several participants in Turkey came under fire from universities and the state. Professor Göçek and Professor Suny will talk about this threat to academic freedom and censorship that undermines what our university stands for and protects.\n\nWATS was founded in the year 2000 by faculty members from the Armenian Studies Program\, Ronald Suny\, Kevork Bardakjian\, and Gerard Libaridian\, as well as UM sociologist\, Fatma Müge Göçek. This pioneering venture brought together for the first time a group of scholars of Armenian and Turkish Studies to collectively work on what had long been a forbidden topic\, the Armenian Genocide. \n \nWATS proved to be a powerful impetus to a rethinking of the events of 1915\, as well as the successful creation of a community of scholars\, including Armenians\, Kurds\, and Turks\, who were prepared to acknowledge that a genocide had occurred\, were willing to work together to create documentation and a scholarly record of what happened and why\, and moved the field of serious Ottoman studies from denial to dealing honestly with the darkest elements of the past.  The progress in Armenian and Ottoman studies was enormous\, quite unpredictable when the group first met in 2000 in Chicago.  Out of the various workshops\, held in Chicago\, Ann Arbor\, Minneapolis\, New York City\, Salzburg\, Amsterdam\, and Berkeley\, a volume of collected papers appeared:  \"A Question of Genocide:  Armenians and Turks at the End of the Ottoman Empire\,\" edited by Ronald Suny\, Fatma Müge Göçek\, and Norman Naimark and published by Oxford University Press in 2011.  Various members of WATS published their own monographs\, among them Ronald Suny's \" \"They Can Live in the Desert But Nowhere Else\":  A History of the Armenian Genocide\" (Princeton University Press\, 2015)\; and Fatma Müge Göçek's \"Denial of Violence: Ottoman Past\, Turkish Present and Collective Violence against Armenians\, 1789-2009\" (Oxford University Press\, 2015).\n\nCo-Sponsors: International Institute\; Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\; Department of Sociology\; and Conflict and Peace Initiative.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Prophecies of the Coming Flood
DESCRIPTION:Our planet provides clues that geologists can interpret to tell us how our planet has responded to past climate change.  These clues tell a story of massive mountains of ice—called ice sheets—that covered huge portions of our planet. These mountains of ice waxed and waned over millennia resulting in massive floods.  We used to think that these glacial cycles (and floods) were driven by changes in atmospheric temperature.  However\, evidence shows that the long term growth and decay of these ice mountains were punctuated by abrupt\, rapid ice sheet changes.  These disintegration events involved the near total disintegration of large sections of ice sheets in as little as a few centuries resulting in meters or even tens of meters of sea level rise.  Surprisingly\, the onset of ice sheet disintegration is not correlated with atmospheric temperature\; many events initiating during periods when atmospheric temperatures were extremely cold.  Today\, we have two mountains of ice remaining called the Greenland Ice Sheet and West Antarctic Ice Sheet.  We are increasingly witnessing retreat\, decay and disintegration in portions of these ice sheets on a scale that is unprecedented over the past ten thousand years and this has (re)awakened concern that irreversible ice sheet collapse\, perhaps analogous to past ice sheet disintegration may have already begun.  This concern has been amplified by modeling studies suggesting the near total disintegration of large portions of the ice sheets in as little as a few centuries.  At present these predictions remain prophecies\, clouded by uncertainty and affected by choices we as a society have yet to make.  Here I will review some of the past changes hinted at by clues in the geological record and summarize more recent changes\, like the ongoing retreat of the Larsen ice shelves in Antarctica that we are currently observing. I will also summarize how work that my group is doing increasingly points towards the ocean as the trigger for past\, present and future ice sheet disintegration events.  Finally\, I will conclude by discussing the limitations of current ice sheet models and why this uncertainty coupled with intrinsic non-linearities in the dynamic system limits us to prophesying a range of discrete fates for the ice sheets\, but unable to pick which of these fates is our destiny.  Unfortunately\, even the most optimistic of the fates we can foresee results in significant ice sheet decay\, sea level rise and coastal flooding in the coming century. \n\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Generalized Entropy and Epistemic Risk
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on developing a theory of risk for the normative assessment of an agent's credence functions\, within the framework of epistemic utility theory. In particular\, I propose a general theory of epistemic risk in terms of relative sensitivity to different types of graded error. While this account is analogous in important respects to contemporary approaches to risk in ordinary expected utility theory\, it has a uniquely epistemic interpretation\, which has its roots in Peirce's ``economy of research''. I express this framework in information-theoretic terms and show that epistemic risk\, so understood\, is a scaled reflection of information entropy. As a result\, every unit increase in risk comes with a corresponding unit decrease in information entropy and epistemic risk may be expressed in terms of entropic change. I explain the significance of this for the choice of scoring rule\, the selection of priors\, and the Laplacian principle of indifference.
