SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Close to Home: A Conversation on the Experiences of Migrant Farmworkers
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition* Best Used By*\, a roundtable discussion with social epidemiologist Lisbeth Iglesias-Rios\, artist Narsiso Martinez\, and arts curator Amanda Krugliak. The conversation will explore the complex and challenging experiences faced by farmworkers today\, as well as their heightened precarity due to the policies of the current administration\, through the lens of academic research\, public health\, visual storytelling\, and legal advocacy.\n\nMeet the Participants:\n\nNarsiso Martinez (b. 1977\, Oaxaca\, Mexico) came to the United States when he was 20 years old. He attended Evans Community Adult School and completed high school in 2006 at the age of 29. He earned an Associate of Arts degree in 2009 from Los Angeles City College. In the fall of 2012 Narsiso earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University Long Beach. In the spring of 2018 he received a Master of Fine Arts degree in drawing and painting from California State University Long Beach\, and was awarded the prestigious Dedalus Foundation MFA Fellowship in Painting and Sculpture. His work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. His work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum\, OCMA\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, University of Arizona Museum of Art\, Long Beach Museum of Art\, Crocker Art Museum\, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon\, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Martinez lives and works in Long Beach\, CA.\n\nDr. Iglesias-Rios’s research interests are the intersection of environmental and occupational health with precarious employment and labor exploitation in vulnerable populations. Her previous research assessed the impact of labor trafficking by studying how patterns of violence and coercion affect the mental health of female and male trafficking survivors including children\, adolescents and adults. She also sought to understand how the living and working conditions during trafficking affect the mental health of survivors. Dr. Iglesias-Rios is the Co-Investigator of the Michigan Farmworker Project\, a community-based participatory project that assess the working and living conditions of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the state of Michigan. The focus of the research is to investigate indicators of precarious employment and labor exploitation that involve psychosocial\, occupational and environmental exposures and complex contextual conditions (social\, economic and physical milieu) of farmworkers.\n\nAmanda Krugliak is a curator and artist known for performative\, conceptual\, and experiential installations\, in charge of programming for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery since 2009. In 2012\, she co-created the internationally recognized installation *State of Exception *with artist Richard Barnes and U-M anthropologist Jason De León based upon De León’s Undocumented Migration Project. She is frequently a guest lecturer and leads workshops on curating scholarship and the gallery as a social justice practice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra Seminar: The weak normalization of an affine semigroup
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk is on joint work with Srishti Singh (Mizzou). I'll discuss our recent preprint about affine semigroup rings\, which are fun and important examples of commutative rings formed from the combinatorial data of an affine semigroup\, which is a subset of N^n (or sometimes Z^n) which contains the zero vector and are closed under the usual +.  We studied the problem of Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings\, which\, due to some theorems of Bruns-Li-Römer\, are controlled by the (weak) normalization map. We construct an adjustment to an affine semigroup A which we called the p-weak normalization of A\, which depends on a fixed prime number p\, and from that we are able to bound Frobenius closure in the corresponding affine semigroup ring over a field of that characteristic. We also provide a script which compute this new weak normalization and then can use Macaulay2 to compute Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings defined over Z/pZ.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Digital Humanities to AI Humanities? Ethics\, Algorithms\, and History
DESCRIPTION:Building on the arguments in his recent book\, Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory (2024)\, this talk focuses on the challenges and possibilities of using computational methods to interpret the legacies of historical violence and archives of testimonial witnessing. Moving between ‘digital humanities’ and ‘AI humanities\,’ Presner explores the meaning-making processes of algorithms and interrogates the decision-making mechanisms of Large Language Models for the study of history and memory.\n\nTodd Presner is Chair of UCLA’s Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies and serves as Special Advisor to Vice Chancellor Roger Wakimoto in the Office for Research and Creative Activities (2018-present). Previously\, he was the chair of UCLA’s Digital Humanities Program (2011-21)\, and from 2011-2018\, he served as the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies. From 2018-21\, he was Associate Dean of Digital Innovation. He holds the Michael and Irene Ross Chair in the UCLA Division of the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Automatic convergence for modular forms
DESCRIPTION:Quaternionic modular forms (QMFs) are a type of non-holomorphic automorphic function that exist on certain forms of the exceptional groups\, and on orthogonal groups SO(4\,n) with n at least 3.  They have a robust notion of Fourier coefficients\, defined in an analytic way.  Using the Fourier coefficients\, I will give an algebraic characterization of the cuspidal quaternionic modular forms (on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, E_8) in terms of holomorphic modular forms on smaller rank groups.  That is\, I will explain how cuspidal QMFs on these exceptional groups can be reconstructed from holomorphic modular forms on groups of type SO(2\,n) and SL_2 in an algebraic way.  As a consequence\, I deduce that the cuspidal QMFs on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, and E_8 have a basis where every element of this basis has all Fourier coefficients being algebraic numbers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Global Working Hours (joint with Emmanuel Saez)
DESCRIPTION:This paper uses labor force surveys from 160 countries to build a new microdatabase on hours worked covering 97% of the world population in cross section. We also construct time series spanning over 20 years in 86 countries. Hours worked per adult are slightly bell-shaped with GDP per capita but weakly correlated with development overall. Hours worked by the young (aged 15-19) and elderly (aged 60+) decline with development\, driven by growing school attendance and public pension coverage. Hours worked among prime-age adults (aged 20-59) are mildly bell-shaped with development for men while they are increasing for women. The fall in male hours in middle-to-higher income countries is driven by reduced hours per worker and is offset by increases in female labor force participation. These two forces have exactly compensated each other in many countries\, leading to a remarkable long-run stability of prime-age hours worked. Labor taxes are strongly negatively correlated with prime-age hours worked both in international comparisons and overtime within countries. Controlling for government transfers only partly reduces the link between labor taxes and prime-age hours\, ruling out substitution and income effects on labor supply as the only driver. Controlling for working hours regulations and the size of the formal sector eliminates this link\, suggesting that regulations also play a large role in reducing intensive hours in higher-income countries.
