SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Anatomy of Honesty: Lying Aversion vs. Deception Aversion
DESCRIPTION:This paper experimentally dissects the preferences for honesty into two components: lying aversion and deception aversion. For a separate identification\, we consider two reputation-building environments with a two-dimensional belief domain\, where lying without deception occurs in one environment and deception without lying occurs in the other environment as a unique equilibrium phenomenon. The choice data collected in the lab enable us to differentiate between individuals' aversion to making statements that are literally untrue (lying aversion) and their aversion to statements intended to manipulate others' beliefs (deception aversion)\, controlling for inference errors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Spectral computations for quasicrystals
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Models of aperiodic order and quasicrystals tend to exhibit very delicate spectral properties\, such as Cantor spectrum and fractal spectral dimension. We discuss algorithms for computing spectral quantities associated with models of aperiodic order. The algorithms are optimal with respect the solvability computability index (SCI)\, which can be shown by synthesizing tools from SCI and the general theory of ergodic Schrödinger operators.\n\nContact:  Giorgio Young

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Fibers of maps to totally nonnegative spaces (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Fomin-Shapiro\, Lusztig\, Galashin-Karp-Lam and several others have studied the images of certain maps to totally nonnegative spaces whose fibers encode the nonnegative real relations amongst exponentiated Chevalley generators.   This talk will focus on the fibers of these maps.  We prove that the stratification on these fibers induced by the natural stratification of $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}^d$ is a cell decomposition\, doing so by providing a parametrization for each stratum.  We also show that the face poset for this cell decomposition is the face poset of a regular CW complex\, namely the interior dual block complex of a subword complex.  We prove that these  interior dual block complexes of subword complexes are contractible.  I will describe several of the ingredients that go into this work\, providing background and examples along the way.  This is joint work with Jim Davis and Ezra Miller.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Quantum mechanics and observers for gravity in a closed universe
DESCRIPTION:Recently there have been several arguments given for the seemingly absurd statement that the Hilbert space of quantum gravity in a closed universe is one-dimensional.  How can this be consistent with the richness of our daily experience?  In this talk I will review the arguments for a one-dimensional Hilbert space\, and then present a possible resolution based on the idea that to do quantum mechanics in a closed system it is necessary to explicitly include a classical observer in the system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MMP Lecture: Antonia Peacocke (Stanford)
DESCRIPTION:Location: 2306 Mason Hall\nBrought to you by: Mind and Moral Psychology Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop group. \n\nTitle: \"Belief in Action\"\n\nAbstract: \nBelief aims at the truth: it is guided by truth\, and correct if true. Most think that this fact about belief's aim limits the agency we exercise as believers\, especially since Williams's famous argument that you cannot believe 'at will.' But the structure of intentional action in particular seems to offer hope for a substantive explanation of this fact about belief's aim: when you act intentionally you apply a standard of success to what you do\, and you guide it according to that standard. This talk reconciles these claims about belief with one another. It's true that you can't come to believe that p intentionally 'just like that\,' as Williams pointed out. But it's also true that you can perform all sorts of epistemic accomplishments intentionally: you can figure out whether p\, or determine which thing is F\, come to know why p\, etc. I show how you can perform these epistemic accomplishments intentionally with a model of non-basic action I set forth in detail in my new book Mental Means. The possibility of intentionally performing these epistemic accomplishments can help ground epistemic responsibility\, and thereby also help ground the application of substantive epistemic norms to our thoughts.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | “Donkey Seh Dis Yah Worl Nuh Level: Black Madness and Exile Across the Atlantic”
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I reflect on the experiences of Tigo\, a Black Jamaican man living with psychosis in London\, England. He is one of many Black Caribbeans who have been disproportionately diagnosed with psychotic disorders since the 1950s. Tigo believes this is due to the clash between Black Caribbean cultural values and British assimilation practices\, which reinforce anti-Black stereotypes and involve the surveillance and hyper-policing of Black Caribbean communities. According to Tigo\, it is as if Black Caribbean living conditions in London\, shaped by poverty\, police brutality\, and cultural assimilation\, are schizophrenogenic. At the same time\, economic precarity in the Caribbean drives many to migrate. Consequently\, Black Caribbean migrants are more likely to become psychotic. Tigo’s journey illustrates how psychotic Black Caribbeans feel exiled and are faced with the specter of death\, which Frantz Fanon asserts is a structuring fact of Black existence. However\, Tigo emphasizes three pivotal moments of heightened insight that inspired him to develop innovative ideas\, which made his Black existence more “livable.” I refer to these moments as “the fertile moments” of Tigo’s psychosis. \n\nJaleel Mashaul Plummer is a PhD Candidate in the Joint PhD Program in Medical Anthropology at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. He conducts ethnographic research with Black Jamaicans in England and Jamaica. His research centers around questions of madness\, Blackness\, Jamaican aesthetics\, and Black Jamaican spiritual traditions that concern “postcolonial occupation”. Titled “The Noose of Existence: Blackness and Madness in England and Jamaica”\, his dissertation combines comparative ethnography and critical theory to investigate how Black Jamaican experiences with madness and anti-blackness are marked by social alienation and result in self-fragmentation. The dissertation conveys how this alienation and self-fragmentation are many effects of a persistent British colonial occupation of Jamaican social and psychic life in England and Jamaica. However\, these two phenomena that deeply affect Black Jamaicans with psychosis are present in the artistic work of Brother Everald Brown\, Errol McKenzie\, and other artists known as the “Intuitives”. Through their aesthetic creations\, the Intuitives propagate the political and religious saliences of maddening landscapes wrought with anti-black violence that become breeding grounds of alienation and self-fragmentation. Therefore\, the dissertation demonstrates how Black madness and Intuitive aesthetic creations serve as “mediums” through which we can understand how the lived experience of Black Jamaicans is a struggle with and from the (after)shocks of British colonialism.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Agrochemical Gothic: Pesticide Writing in South America
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Nicolas Campisi (Georgetown University) will discuss the emergence of a new literary genre that he calls the agrochemical gothic. He will talk about two novels: *Fruta podrida* (2006) by the Chilean writer Lina Meruane and *Distancia de rescate* (2014) by the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin. Nicolas will show that just as agribusiness has obscured the borders between humans and nonhumans through the creation of genetically modified seeds (GMOs)\, these works blur the limits between prose\, poetry\, and theater to depict the invisible and omnipresent violence of pesticide contamination.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Racial and ethnic identities play a key role in shaping behaviors\, attitudes\, institutions and social structures. As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Barbara Spiecker\, University of New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:The ebb and flow of tides shape coastlines\, nourish ecosystems\, and connect distant shores—offering profound lessons on resilience and adaptation. In this talk\, I will explore the intersections of marine ecology\, conservation policy\, and community engagement.\n\nThrough the lens of marine ecology\, we will examine my research on (1) the underlying mechanisms driving complex\, multi-scale responses in benthic communities along the rocky shores of Oregon and New Zealand\, and (2) the decadal review of California’s MPA network\, using long-term monitoring data to uncover biological patterns in kelp forests and inform strategies for improved monitoring and adaptive management. Building on these scientific foundations\, we will discuss how ecological research informs conservation policy and\, in turn\, necessitates active engagement—particularly from fishing and tribal communities.\n\nWe will also explore the deeper parallels between conflicts in science-public discourse and my work with marginalized communities. As a co-founder of a STEM nonprofit dedicated to fostering an inclusive world where both deaf and hearing individuals are empowered through accessible STEM education and communication\, I have seen that many conflicts arise from a lack of human connection and the misconception that diversity is simply beneficial rather than essential for survival.\n\nJust as marine ecosystems thrive through diversity\, mutualism\, and adaptation\, so too must our approaches to conservation and science communication. By integrating research\, policy\, and inclusive engagement\, we can build resilient networks—both ecological and human—that can withstand environmental change and drive lasting transformation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Everyday Futurism: Being towards Belonging in Sufi Tomb Shrines
DESCRIPTION:Attend via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/PkMMz\n\nIn the middle of Bangalore\, a relatively small *dargah* (Sufi tomb shrine) is a space of possibility for multiple marginalized groups\, facilitating imagined futures that include Muslims\, subaltern Hindus\, Dalits\, and *hijras* as full citizens of the Indian polity. At a time when powerful political actors seek to limit national belonging to a particular segment of Hindu Indians\, such spaces and the people who intersect through them are not simply places of resistance but places where possible futures are grounded in the ethics of the past. Exploring the histories\, objects\, and rituals that intersect through an intentionally multireligious place illuminates the spectacular and mundane ways in which minoritized communities make space for themselves in an India where majoritarian religious nationalism is ascendant but hitherto incomplete.\n\nAnna Bigelow is an Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Religious Studies\, as well as Faculty Director of the Center for South Asia\, at Stanford University. Bigelow's current book project is a comparative study of shared sacred sites in India and Turkey\, exploring how everyday devotional life in shared spaces illuminates the shifting terrain of these ambivalently secular states. Another project traces the lives of devotional objects circulated by Muslims\, Hindus\, and others around a Sufi tomb shrine in India.
