SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY  SEMINAR:  Curve graphs and totally geodesic subvarieties of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Given a surface\, the associated curve graph has vertices corresponding to certain isotopy classes of curves on the surface\, and edges for disjoint curves. Starting with work of Masur and Minsky in the late 1990s\, curve graphs became a central tool for understanding objects in low dimensional topology and geometry. Since then\, their influence has reached far beyond what might have been anticipated. Part of the talk will be an expository account of this remarkable story.\n\nMuch more recently\, non-trivial examples of totally geodesic subvarieties of moduli spaces have been discovered\, in work of McMullen-Mukamel-Wright and Eskin-McMullen-Mukamel-Wright. Part of the talk will be an expository account of this story and its connections to dynamics.\n\nThe talk will conclude with new joint work with Francisco Arana-Herrera showing that the geometry of totally geodesic subvarieties can be understood using curve graphs\, and that this is closely intertwined with the remarkably rigid structure of these varieties witnessed by the boundary in the Deligne-Mumford compactification.

SUMMARY:Tours:Guided Tour of the Clements Library
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn more about the history of the Clements Library\, its programs\, and collections. Highlights include Benjamin West's iconic painting \"Death of General Wolfe\,\" a Revolutionary War-era trunk that once housed General Thomas Gage's papers\, and the current exhibit.\n\nArrive at our North Entrance to check-in for your tour. This entrance is accessible and an elevator is available to move between floors. \n\nWe want to ensure full participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote that\, please let us know.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Talking About Publishing (a Conversation with the Acquiring Editor of the University of Michigan Press)
DESCRIPTION:Do you have questions regarding what exactly  the publishing process entails and the difference between a dissertation and a published monograph? This event may be for you!\nThe Central Asian Studies RIW is pleased to announce an upcoming event discussing the process for publishing a monograph\, and the publishing process in general\, with Marcella Landri\, the Acquiring Editor for Asian Studies and African Studies at the University of Michigan Press.  The event will be held on January 24th at 4:00pm in 1014 Tisch and will last for roughly an hour. Free food will be provided. \nMarcella will talk for about 10-15 minutes regarding the process for submitting a successful book proposal\,  publishing timelines\, the publishing process\, what working  with editors looks like\, advice regarding selecting a publisher\, and\, in general\, the differences between the dissertation and book manuscript.  We will hope to detail the process from dissertation to published monograph. Following this\, we will have an open q and a discussion where anyone present can ask Marcella any questions they may have regarding publishing. \nWe hope to see you there! \n\n
