SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistic Anthropology Colloquium: \"Unsettling Signs: Indexical Disorder and the Diacritics of Raciolinguistic Life\"
DESCRIPTION:Unsettling Signs: Indexical Disorder and the Diacritics of Raciolinguistic Life\n\nThe framework of indexical order has been powerfully deployed in sociolinguistic and broader semiotic analyses throughout the world. This presentation critically engages with prevailing empiricist approaches to indexicality which focus on signs’ heterogeneous meanings across contexts. It examines institutionalized attributions of deficiency and experiences of structural marginalization to offer the alternative framework of indexical disorder\, which emphasizes the profound role of modern colonialism and racism in overdetermining signs’ meaningfulness. The goal is to develop new insights into organizing power structures across contexts\, as well as to rethink how indexicality can be a crucial analytic for understanding and unsettling these structures.  \n\n\nJonathan Rosa is Associate Professor of Education\, Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies\, and\, by courtesy\, Anthropology\, Linguistics\, and Comparative Literature at Stanford University. He is author of Looking like a Language\, Sounding like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad (2019\, Oxford University Press) and co-editor of Language and Social Justice in Practice (2019\, Routledge).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG NT: Mod p sheaves on mixed-characteristic affine Grassmannians
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Affine Schubert varieties are certain subvarieties of the affine Grassmannian which show up in geometric contexts related to the Langlands program. Faltings and Pappas-Rapoport showed that in equal characteristic p\, affine Schubert varieties are normal\, Cohen-Macaulay\, and Frobenius split. In previous work for split groups\, I added global F-regularity to this list\, with consequences for the theory of perverse mod p sheaves in characteristic p. In this talk\, I will explain joint work with J. Lourenço where we explore similar questions for groups of mixed characteristic.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture - How a Love of RNA Biophysics Lead to the Discovery of a Novel Antiviral
DESCRIPTION:Positive Strand RNA viruses persist to pose serious threats to human health and global economies. Disease progression mediated by viral pathogenesis requires numerous intersections between host proteins and viral RNA (vRNA) structures. Host-vRNA complexes drive essential processes in the replication cycles of viruses\; as such\, they represent untapped targets for therapeutic intervention. In my seminar\, I will describe the mechanisms by which the mutually antagonistic human hnRNP A1 and AUF1 proteins compete for the same vRNA structure to differentially regulate Enterovirus (EV) translation efficiency. By screening a library of small molecule RNA binders\, we discovered that the compound DMA-135 binds SLII IRES domain to dose-dependently inhibit viral replication by attenuating viral translation. Serial passaging of EV-A71 in the presence of low doses of DMA-135 selects for revertant viruses with drug-resistant mutations that map to the SLII bulge environment. Comparative structure-function studies reveal that the cellular mechanism of action of DMA-135 is to tip the SLII-hnRNP regulatory axis towards significantly lower levels of IRES-dependent translation\, and the virus can compensate by evolving mutations that restore homeostasis. Our work defines the antiviral mechanism of action of DMA-135\; it demonstrates that functional specificity can be modulated through natural and drug-dependent viral evolution\; and it shows how small molecules can reveal new insights about host-virus interfaces that regulate early stages of EV replication.
