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 - Dr. Lucas Weaver\, Kent State University
DESCRIPTION:Mammals are among the most dynamic constituents of modern terrestrial ecosystems\, and their rise to ecological prominence has long been attributed to the demise of non-avian dinosaurs during the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event. Over the last 20+ years\, however\, it has become apparent that mammals began diversifying much earlier\, in the Mesozoic\, and the major lineages that characterize mammalian faunas in the aftermath of the K-Pg mass extinction began their ecological ascendency beginning in the Cretaceous. Nonetheless\, because placental mammals are the most abundant and diverse extant mammals\, there is a still an assumption that they must have evolved key behavioral and life-history traits that allowed them to diversify up to the present day (the ‘placental-mammal paradigm’). Further\, the earlier adaptive radiation of mammals in the Cretaceous has been nearly universally ascribed to the rise of angiosperms (flowering plants)\, with mammals simply tracking the emerging ecospaces new plant groups facilitated (the ‘Cretaceous-angiosperm paradigm’). In this talk\, I challenge the ‘placental-mammal’ and ‘Cretaceous-angiosperm’ paradigms. \n\nMy first vignette will highlight my research on multituberculate mammals\, demonstrating how this oft-considered ‘archaic’ lineage shows evidence of being as behaviorally and reproductively ‘advanced’ as extant small-bodied placental mammals. My second vignette will highlight recent work exploring the role that tectonism may have played in stimulating the Cretaceous diversification of mammals and other terrestrial lineages. I will then outline ongoing field-based projects and new results that aim to test\, and lend support to\, that hypothesis. Collectively\, these projects underscore a need for challenging expectations in the realm of early mammalian paleontology\, building upon first principles\, and re-focusing our attention on field- and specimen-based science.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOM SEMINAR:  On Measures Invariant under Horospherical Subgroups in Rank One Lie Groups
DESCRIPTION:Given a positive Laplace eigenfunction on a hyperbolic manifold\, there exists a horospherically invariant measure corresponding to it\, known as the Burger-Roblin measure. A question attributed to Babillot concerns whether every horospherically invariant measure arises from such a correspondence. In this talk\, I will survey previous works where affirmative answers to this question were found and present a new result extending it to a broad class of subgroups in rank one Lie groups. This is joint work with Or Landesberg\, Elon Lindenstrauss\, and Hee Oh.
