SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:No God but Man: On Race\, Knowledge and Terrorism
DESCRIPTION:Reconceptualizing the relationship between race and Islam in the United States\, No God but Man theorizes race as an epistemology using the FBI’s post-9/11 Most Wanted Terrorist list and its posters as its starting point. Atiya Husain traces the origins of the FBI wanted poster form to the work of nineteenth-century social scientist Adolphe Quetelet\, specifically his overvalued type of human called “average man.” Husain argues that this notion of the human continues to structure wanted posters\, as well as much contemporary social scientific thinking about race. Focusing on the curious representations on the Most\nWanted Terrorist list that range from Muslims who lack a race category on their posters to the 2013 addition of Black revolutionary Assata Shakur\, Husain demonstrates the ongoing influence of the average man and its relevance even today\, proposing a counterweight to the category by engaging Shakur’s turn to Islam in the 1970s in the legal context. In doing so\, Husain shows the limitations of race as an analytical category altogether.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Strength of Polynomials
DESCRIPTION:Let F be a homogeneous polynomial defining a projective hypersurface X over a field K. The strength of F is equal to the minimum number r such that F = G_1 + ... + G_r\, where G_i are reducible homogeneous polynomials. This invariant captures remarkable geometric properties of X. For example\, when K is algebraically-closed\, the strength of F bounds the codimension of the singular locus of X. This invariant is also studied in the context of number theory and additive combinatorics\; we will discuss these contexts in addition to connections to recent developments in geometry.
