SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Articulation Work
DESCRIPTION:Attend via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/Jw117\n\nIf the entanglements of real estate and finance capital are pivotal in ongoing urban transformations in cities of the global south\, then a less visible but equally vital dimension is the process of land assembly on which residential and commercial real estate speculation and development are premised. This talk pries open the value chain of land assembly that underlies these transformations in a rapidly expanding peri-urban frontier of Bengaluru\, India. Drawing on detailed interviews with land market intermediaries\, operating across different scales\, who were instrumental in assembling agricultural land for a large apartment complex\, my talk shows how existing forms of social power and local knowledge are harnessed to create inter-scalar linkages that enable the creation and extraction of value in Indian real estate. It makes the case for understanding the economic and cultural work of intermediaries in animating land’s value chain as ‘articulation work’.\n   \n   Gidwani is an economic and labor geographer who works on agrarian and urban transformations. His co-edited book\, Chronicles of a Global City: Speculative Lives and Unsettled Futures in Bengaluru was recently published by University of Minnesota Press.\n   \n   Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR:  Limiting distributions in the space of k-dimensional lattices of the n-dimensional space
DESCRIPTION:The talk will concern limiting distribution problems in the moduli space of k-dimensional lattices in $R^n$. These problems are motivated by classical lattice counting questions and serve as natural analogues of well-studied problems concerning orbits of lattice subgroups. I will present results from my recent joint work\, with a particular focus on an ongoing collaboration with Nimish Shah that resolves a conjecture by U. Shapira and O. Sargent concerning orthogonal lattices of integral vectors on hyperboloids.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Jack Martin is Professor of English and Linguistics at William & Mary in Virginia. He specializes in language documentation and has worked especially closely with tribes in the southeastern U.S. (Muscogee\, Choctaw\, Seminole\, Coushatta). He recently served as president of SSILA and is now coeditor of the journal IJAL.\n\nTitle: Applicatives in the Languages of the Southeastern U.S.: Similarities and Paths of Divergence.\nAbstract: The indigenous languages of the southeastern U.S. generally make use of dative applicatives\, instrumental applicatives\, and occasionally locative applicatives. I survey features of these languages from a typological perspective before focusing on specific differences in the uses of instrumental applicatives in Choctaw and Muscogee. While Choctaw appears to be relatively conservative\, Muscogee has extended the instrumental to include semi-classificatory uses where an object has parts or is contained in another. These languages help us understand the sources of applicatives and their possible evolution.
