SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DISCO Network Presents - Diaspora Wars and Going 50/50: Sowing Disunity in Black Communities Through Digital Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:This panel brings together Black feminist scholars\, writers\, and public intellectuals to examine how and why debates about gender\, sexuality\, and nationality consistently emerge as top topics on social media platforms within Black discursive communities. How do algorithms and influencer culture contribute to sowing discontent and misinformation among Black social media users? We consider the social and political implications\, who ultimately benefits from these conversations\, and how we can make different choices around our own engagement and participation.Coffee\, tea\, and desserts from Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant will be provided to all attendees.We want to make our events accessible to all participants. CART services will be provided. If you anticipate needing additional accommodations to participate\, please email Cherice Chan at chericec@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Evolution in Space: Incorporating Geography into Statistical Methods for Population Genetics
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - One of the fundamental goals of evolutionary biology is to quantify patterns of genetic diversity between populations and study the processes that shape them. However\, the development of key statistical methods in population genetics lags behind the generation of datasets that require them for analysis. In particular\, methods for studying population history\, structure\, admixture\, demography\, and selection in continuous space are still lacking\, leading to a gap in our ability to answer basic questions in evolutionary biology. This talk will celebrate Dr. Bradburd's promotion to tenure (woohoo!) and present several vignettes on how geography can be incorporated into population genetics to better understand the processes generating the diversity of life.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR: How does the critical exponent see the geometry?
DESCRIPTION:Given a discrete isometry group action on the hyperbolic spaces\, the critical exponent of the group measures the exponential growth rate of its orbit. This quantity not only sees the dynamics of the quotient manifold but also constrains its geometry. I will present my joint work with Wang that if the critical exponent is very small\, the quotient manifold is geometrically finite. Then I will focus on how the quantity changes when we deform the Fuchsian representations in the Hitchin component of PSL(3\, R)\, which is joint work in progress with Islam\, Martone\, and Pozzetti.
