SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reading Seminar I: The Space of Ending Lamination
DESCRIPTION:The Ending Lamination Conjecture was one of the central problems in the theory of 3-manifolds and its resolution in the 2000s by Brock–Canary–Minsky stands as a milestone in the classification of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The proof required a deep understanding of the space of ending laminations and combined a wide range of ideas and techniques\, many of which continue to play a crucial role across current research areas.\n\nIn this reading seminar\, we will study the topological properties of the space of ending laminations\, following Gabai’s 2008 paper. Our third meeting will revisit the notion of lamination\, foliation\, and train track.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Afterlives of Sound: Memory\, Ethnography\, and the Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:An immersive poetic and musical passage\, Alex E. Chávez’s recently-released album Sonorous Present extends sonic meditations on loss\, migration\, and memory across America’s borderlands—as physical place and liminal space. What began as an experimental and improvised performance—inspired by the music and poetics of Chávez’s multi-award-winning book Sounds of Crossing (Duke 2017)—was subsequently reimagined as a studio album in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning producer Quetzal Flores\, and features luminaries from the worlds of traditional Mexican son\, poetry\, and jazz. Through integration of a range of scholarly disciplines and communities of artistic practice\, this multi-modal scholarly work uniquely integrates an epic spectrum of regional Mexican and Latin American sonic elements with field recordings and ethnographic songwriting drawn from years of research across the U.S.-Mexico border and his own personal experiences of personal loss. In his talk\, The Afterlives of Sound: Memory\, Ethnography\, and the Borderlands\, Chávez addresses how this work crosses the sunburst surreal of America’s musical and cultural borderlands\, refiguring the borders of both performance and intellectual engagement to strategically reimagine the possibilities and forms scholarship can take.
