SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Speciation\, extinction\, and the ecology of macroevolution
DESCRIPTION:Description: The causes of biodiversity patterns at the largest scales of time and space remain poorly understood. In this talk\, I examine the relationship between these dynamic patterns of biological diversity and rates of evolutionary diversification\, and I evaluate progress in linking microevolutionary processes to speciation and extinction at macroevolutionary scales. I argue that biodiversity dynamics across space\, time\, and clades reflect an underlying causal unity shaped by ecological modulation of diversification. However\, further progress will require much deeper integration of traditional microevolutionary biology with population ecology and paleobiology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Rapping Minority-ness: Rap as Vernacular Theory in China
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to recognize ethnic minority rappers as cultural theorists in China? This talk approaches minority rap\, with a particular focus on Tibetan rap\, not merely as music but as a vernacular theory of life emerging from the margins. Caught in a paradox\, ethnic minorities are hyper-visible as objects of state governance\, yet rarely heard in shaping the terms through which they are understood and represented. Drawing on lyrics\, artist interviews\, documentaries\, and audience commentary\, Dr. Tso will show how rappers reconfigure marginality into epistemic advantage\, producing alternative vocabularies and frameworks for understanding minority experiences\, aspirations\, and social relations. In this reconfiguration\, minority-ness is reimagined as immediate\, relational\, and generative. By foregrounding the analytical insights of these vernacular thinkers\, this talk illuminates new ways of thinking about power\, voice\, and belonging in China.\n   \n   Bendi Tso is a sociocultural anthropologist whose work focuses on borderlands\, nationalism\, ethnicity\, and oral traditions in China. Her research draws on ethnographic methods to examine China’s ethnic minorities beyond the dominant analytical lens of ethnicity. She is currently developing a book project that explores how disparate Tibetan subgroups on the Sino-Tibetan borderland negotiate essentialized notions of Tibetanness in a landscape marked by ambiguity and transition. She is a postdoctoral fellow at the Kenneth G. Lieberthal and Richard H. Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.\n   \n   In-person talk only.

SUMMARY:Performance:Meghan Wysocki & Joe Antrim\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Meghan Wysocki & Joe Antrim perform on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.
