SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series: Context-dependent collaboration and conflict in microbial mutualisms
DESCRIPTION:Description: Resource context often has a large effect on the ecology and evolution of nutritional mutualisms\, such as the symbiosis between leguminous plants and rhizobium bacteria. Increased soil nitrogen\, for example\, causes rhizobia to become less mutualistic\, but this may be due to direct or indirect effects. I experimentally evolved soil microbial communities to disentangle three possible drivers of reduced mutualism-- soil nitrogen\, light\, and host availability-- as well as whether mutualism quality would recover after fertilization cessation. Additionally\, I investigated possible non-additive effects of adding a second symbiont\, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi\, to the legume-rhizobium system\, because mycorrhizae are an additional carbon sink for plant hosts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Legitimizing Painting as a Livelihood for \"Gentlemen\" (shi 士) in 10th–13th Century China
DESCRIPTION:One of the most paradigmatic frameworks in Song dynasty (960–1279) art history is a division between high-status\, avocational “literati” or “gentleman” (shi 士) painters and low-status\, occupational “artisan” (gong 工) painters. This presentation situates that symbolic boundary within a specific discourse of artistic appraisal\, and contrasts it with a growing acceptance of painting as a legitimate livelihood for respectable “gentlemen” in the 10th–13th centuries. By tracing the coexistence of these two conflicting perspectives on occupational painting\, and their impact on occupational painters\, it offers a new understanding of how social and symbolic boundaries were negotiated in Song art worlds.\n   \n   Zach Berge-Becker is a Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. His research examines practices and processes of identity construction and social distinction in middle period China\, by focusing on fields of action that served as leisure for some and livelihoods for others\, such as: painting\, making music\, fishing\, gardening\, and playing board games.
