SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ottoman Greek Settlement in the Mitten State
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Topalidis will present the historical events surrounding the migration and settlement of Ottoman Greeks in Michigan. The lecture will contextualize these events through the lens of Social Memory Theory and emphasize the erasure of migrant and refugee identity writ large. To achieve this\, the lecture will combine macro-level findings from extant scholarship with micro-level novel evidence from the Ottoman Greeks of the United States Digital History Project at Flagler College. \n\nThe lecture will cover the following subjects:\n•	The displacement of Ottoman Greek migrants from their communities during World War I and the Greco-Turkish War.\n• Experiences of Ottoman Greek migrants fleeing from the cities of Izmir\, Ordu\, Şarköy\, Semendire\, and Ürgüp.\n• Experiences of Ottoman Greeks during their settlement in Michigan.\n• Experiences of second- and third-generation descendants of Ottoman Greeks during their formative years in Michigan.\n\nDr. Yiorgo Topalidis received a doctorate in Sociology from the University of Florida in 2022. Yiorgo’s research interests are emigration from the Ottoman Empire to the US and White identity construction\, contestation\, and transgenerational memory transfer. He is currently working on a monograph that explores the social construction of Ottoman Greek migrant identity in an early-20th-century U.S. context as a case study for decoupling Whiteness from White supremacist Whiteness.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Revisiting Sullivan's Dictionary
DESCRIPTION:Sullivan's dictionary is a correspondence between the dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and the action of Kleinian groups. For example\, Julia sets correspond to limit sets\, and the no wandering domains theorem\, proved by Dennis Sullivan\, corresponds to Ahlfors' finiteness theorem. In this talk\, we will survey the present state of the dictionary\, make some broader analogies and briefly discuss partial results with the intent of extending this dictionary\, which includes some joint work with Yongquan Zhang.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Transparency and Contradiction
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the contradictions of transparency\, as a concept\, practice\, and aesthetic within the public sphere. Drawing on insights from her recently published monograph\, Nath offers a vision of document transparency located in social history\, American militarism\, and formations of power and difference. In this talk\, Nath traces the Cold War rhetoric that inspired the 1966 Freedom of Information Act through the contested world of transparency activism. By drawing on wide-ranging examples from antiracist organizing\, environmental initiatives\, investigative journalism\, and document diplomacy\, she offers a portrait of transparency as both an inscription of and challenge to power. \n\nAnjali Nath is Assistant Professor in Institute of Communication\, Culture\, Information\, and Technology at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Her work focuses on the visual culture of American militarism and the archives of state violence. Her book A Thousand Paper Cuts: US Empire and the Bureaucratic Life of War (Duke University Press\, 2025)\, is a critical reckoning with the racial and imperial work of paper.
