SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STeMS Speaker Series | Refashioning Race: How Global Cosmetic Surgery Crafts New Beauty Standards
DESCRIPTION:Cosmetic surgery was once associated with a one-size-fits-all approach\, modifying patients to conform to a single standard of beauty. As this surgery has become more accessible worldwide\, changing beauty trends have led to a proliferation of beauty standards for members of different racial groups. This research shows how surgeons generate and apply knowledge using racial categories and how this process is affected by transnational clinical and economic exchange. The talk draws on fieldwork conducted in the U.S. and Malaysia to show how surgeons act as gatekeepers to and producers of ideal\, racially legible appearances. Surgeons not only measure and organize but also elaborate upon racial differences in a globalized field of medicine. Ultimately\, I argue that cosmetic surgeons literally reshape race—both on patients’ bodies and the broader level of culture.\n\nAlka V. Menon is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University and author of Refashioning Race: How Global Cosmetic Surgery Crafts New Beauty Standards. She studies the relationship between medicine\, technology\, and society\, with a focus on race and racism\, using cases from cosmetic surgery to medical AI apps. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Social Science Research Council. She received her B.A. in the Biological Sciences from Cornell University and her Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Subdivisions\, valuations\, and the rank function
DESCRIPTION:Valuations are a classical tool in convex geometry\; examples include the Euler characteristic\, Lebesgue measure\, and mixed volume. However\, in the past two decades\, valuations have also gained prominence in the theory of matroids. As every matroid gives rise to a matroid polytope\, one can develop a theory of subdivisions and valuations for matroids. In this talk\, we'll look at a family of valuations which serve as building blocks for many others\, and with this family\, we'll prove that the rank of the subsets of a matroid is a valuation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Where are the Black Students in Language Education? Critical Race Pedagogy for Social Justice in Language Education
DESCRIPTION:To address racial inequity and how the identities\, experiences\, and specific needs of Black students have been mostly ignored in language education\, \nwe must reckon with social justice problems of racism and anti-Blackness in research\, school programs\, teacher training\, curriculum\, and instructional practices. \nThis presentation explores how we can center Black students in language education and introduces a critical race pedagogy for language teaching to promote antiracism\, equity-mindedness\, and greater inclusivity and belonging for diverse types of marginalized populations.\n\nRomance Languages and Literatures DEI Committee
