SUMMARY:Other:FASPE Information Session (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:FASPE is an intensive\, two-week study program in professional ethics and ethical leadership. FASPE is neither a Holocaust studies course\, nor a genocide prevention program. Rather\, the curriculum is designed to challenge Fellows to critically examine constructs\, current developments and issues that raise ethical concerns in their professions in contemporary settings where they study and work. FASPE Design and Technology (D&T) Fellows examine the motivations and conduct of technologists and designers in enabling and executing Nazi policies. FASPE then draws on these historical examples to help D&T Fellows grasp their role and responsibilities as designers of built environments\; and to encourage them to identify and confront ethical issues currently facing architects\, engineers\, designers\, and other technologists today.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Broadening direct searches for light dark matter
DESCRIPTION:Direct searches for low-mass DM were originally designed using the same conceptual picture as WIMP searches. However\, over the last five years\, the crucial role of in-medium effects has come into sharp focus. A new theoretical framework in the language of condensed matter physics has emerged for understanding the relationship between the properties of detector systems and their sensitivity to DM interactions. I will report on three recent advances that leverage this formalism to substantially broaden the design considerations for the next generation of experiments\, and even extract new constraints from existing data. First\, for DM–electron interactions\, large new datasets generated by the materials science community have enabled the first data-driven search for optimal detector materials\, which promises to significantly enhance the sensitivity of near-future experiments. Second\, just as detectors designed to detect nuclear scattering have been used to study electronic scattering\, I will explain how in-medium effects make the reverse possible as well\, allowing us to set new limits on DM–nucleon scattering using the low-threshold detectors designed to detect electronic scattering. Third\, with the advent of low-threshold detectors sensitive to energy deposits as low as 50 meV\, we have finally entered the regime where the interaction rate can be significantly enhanced due to the geometry of the detector system. These three considerations promise to substantially accelerate the search for light DM in both mass and cross section over the coming years.

SUMMARY:Presentation:LRCCS Occasional Lecture Series | Transgender in Late Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/D8RV8\n\nThrough court cases\, fiction\, and late-Qing newspaper accounts\, Matthew Sommer’s new book considers a range of transgender experiences in Imperial China\, illuminating how certain forms of gender transgression were sanctioned in particular contexts and penalized in others. People moved away from the gender they were assigned at birth in different ways and for many reasons. Eunuchs\, boy actresses\, and clergy left behind normative gender roles defined by family and procreation. Anatomical males who presented as women sometimes took a conventionally female occupation such as midwife\, faith healer\, or even medium to a fox spirit — yet\, suspected of sexual predation\, they risked death for the crime of “masquerading in women’s attire\,” even when they had lived peacefully in their communities for years. Sommer scrutinizes the ways authorities and literati understood gender-nonconforming people\, contrasting official ideology with popular mentalities. An unprecedented account of China’s transgender histories\, this book sheds new light on law\, religion\, medicine\, literature\, and culture.\n   \n   Matthew H. Sommer (BA Swarthmore\, MA U. of Washington\, PHD UCLA) is the Bowman Family Professor of History at Stanford University. A social and legal historian of Qing dynasty China (1644-1912)\, his research uses original legal case records from local and central archives to explore gender\, sexuality\, and family. He is the author of Sex\, Law\, And Society in Late Imperial China (Stanford 2000) and Polyandry and Wife-Selling in Qing Dynasty China (California 2015)\, which was the inaugural winner of the American Society for Legal History’s Peter Gonville Stein Book Award. His latest book\, The Fox Spirit\, the Stone Maiden\, and Other Transgender Histories from Late Imperial China (Columbia 2024) won the Boswell Prize from the LGBTQ+ History Association. Future plans include a fourth book\, “Male Same-Sex Relations and Masculinity in Qing China\,” and a fifth\, “Criminal Procedure in Eighteenth-Century China.”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematics Undergraduate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Typically\, Brownian Motion is constructed from the set of continuous functions from [0\, \infty) into \mathbb{R}. However\, can we modify Brownian Motion such that we can construct it from the set of all paths in \mathbb{R} rather than the continuous ones? In this talk\, we will explore this notion\, along with other concepts in stochastic analysis.
