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 - Christopher Francis\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) carry out key transformations of ammonia in estuarine systems such as San Francisco Bay (SFB)—the largest estuary on the west coast of North America—and play a significant role in both local and global nitrogen cycling. Using metagenomics and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing\, we found that AOA are more abundant than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria\, except in the freshwater stations in SFB. Surprisingly\, in South SFB we observed recurrent AOA blooms of “Candidatus Nitrosomarinus catalina” SPOT01-like organisms\, which account for over 20% of the overall microbial community and co-occur with weeks of high nitrite concentrations (>10 μM) in the oxic water column. We also observed pronounced nitrite peaks occurring in the autumn for 7 of the last 9 years\, suggesting that seasonal AOA blooms are common in South SFB. To carefully examine the dynamics and activity of nitrifying microorganisms over the course of an AOA bloom in South SFB\, we measured nitrification rates\, quantified AOA abundance\, and analyzed both metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data during the autumn of 2018 and seasonally throughout 2019. Overall\, our study confirms that AOA are not only abundant but also highly active during blooms oxidizing large amounts of ammonia to nitrite—a key intermediate in the microbial nitrogen cycle—and producing reactive compounds that may impact other members of the microbial community.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Kavita Datla Memorial Lecture | Criss-crossing narratives of empire: Sir Syed at Versailles and the French conquest of Algeria
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/Rm5e4 \n\nIn 1869\, Sayyid Ahmad Khan (“Sir Syed”) made a brief stop in Paris on his way to a life-transforming journey to Britain. At Versailles\, he was shocked and upset when confronted by a huge\, almost panoramic painting\, “La prise de smala d’Abd el-Kader” for its brutal depiction of the humiliation of the Algerians\, particularly the women\, which for the French was a triumphal celebration of a turning point in their conquest of Algeria a quarter century earlier. Sayyid Ahmad’s encounter with the painting summons up a challenge for historical exposition\, weaving together histories of nineteenth-century French and British imperialism with respect to North Africa and India and the lives of two major contemporary leaders\, Amir Abd al-Qadir and Sayyid Ahmad Khan.\n\nDavid Lelyveld is the author of *Aligarh’s First Generation: Muslim Solidarity in British India* (1978\, reprinted 2003). His publications also deal with the social and political history of Urdu and its differentiation from Hindi. He has held faculty and administrative positions at the University of Minnesota\, Columbia and Cornell. He retired as Professor of History at William Paterson University in New Jersey.\n   \n   *The lecture is made possible through the generosity of Dr. Kavita Datla's family and friends.*\n\nFree and open to the public
