SUMMARY:Meeting:SynSem
DESCRIPTION:The syntax-semantics group provides a forum within which Linguistics students and faculty at UM\, and from neighboring universities (thus far including EMU\, MSU\, Oakland University\, Wayne State and UM-Flint) can informally present or just discuss and share their ongoing research in these domains. The group is frequently used by students to practice conference presentations and receive constructive feedback from familiar faces.

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 - Brian Atkinson\, University of Kansas
DESCRIPTION:The Cretaceous (145-66 Ma) origin and diversification of flowering plants (angiosperms) heralded the assembly of modern terrestrial ecosystems. During the Late Cretaceous (100-66 Ma)\, over half of modern angiosperm families rapidly evolved. This led to the shift from gymnosperm (e.g.\, conifers\, cycads) dominated forests to angiosperm dominated forests in which landscapes began to appear more similar to the modern. In this talk\, I will discuss how my research group investigates this critical transition by analyzing three-dimensionally preserved plant fossil from the Late Cretaceous on western North America and Antarctica. The exceptional preservation of these fossils allows us to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and the paleobiology of these fossils in outstanding detail\, which enables new perspectives on the Late Cretaceous diversification of angiosperms and the concomitant development of modern terrestrial ecosystems.
