SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dr. Margaret Price\, Exploring the Politics of Disability\, Accompaniment\, and Collective Accountability
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Margaret Price (Professor of English and Director of the Disability Studies Program at The Ohio State University) argues for a turn toward collective accountability in order to make academe more accessible for all marginalized persons\, including those with disabilities. Drawing upon her award-winning books Mad at School and Crip Spacetime: Access\, Failure\, and Accountability in Academic Life\, Price shares findings based on a survey and interview study conducted with more than 300 disabled faculty and staff members. Their talk focuses particularly on the concept of “accompaniment\,” which refers to relations between humans\, objects\, technologies\, spaces\, and animals. She closes with a discussion of accountability and gathering\, emphasizing the need for collectivity in order to find more sustainable and restorative ways of moving together.\nBio: Dr. Margaret Price (she/they) is Professor of English (Writing\, Rhetoric & Literacy) at The Ohio State University\, where she also serves as Director of the Disability Studies Program. She is the author of the award-winning books Crip Spacetime (Duke University Press\, 2024) and Mad at School (University of Michigan Press\, 2011). In 2022\, they traveled to Gothenburg\, Sweden on a Fulbright Grant focusing on critical interpretations of universal design. Margaret is now at work on a project focused on cognitive disability\, gathering\, and collective access.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: The Cone Theorem and the Classification of Threefold Contractions
DESCRIPTION:The Cone Theorem describes the cone of effective curves on a projective variety by showing that all K_X-negative directions are generated by extremal rays spanned by rational curves. We will discuss how these rays correspond to specific geometric contractions—divisorial contractions\, fiber spaces\, and flips—which drive the Minimal Model Program. Finally\, we use a projective threefold example to show how rational curves explicitly determine the possible contractions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Broxton Bird
DESCRIPTION:Increased midcontinental United States flooding in recent decades has been attributed to increasing annual precipitation and more frequent extreme rainfall events. But whether or not these trends reflect natural climate flood dynamics is difficult to determine because the modern landscape has been fundamentally altered by human activities and instrumental climate and stream discharge records typically span less than 100 years. In this talk I will present data from midcontinental kettle and floodplain lake sediment archives that respectively preserve long-term information about past climate and flooding regimes. The data show that climate-flood relationships prior to Euro-American settlement were dependent on a stream’s watershed size. Specifically\, medium to small watersheds (10\,000s km2 to 100s km2) were sensitive to the frequency of rainstorm events\, whereas large watersheds (>100\,000’s km2) were sensitive to spring snowmelt intensity. The current trend toward increased flooding on streams of all sizes reflects a departure from “natural” climate-flood dynamics that is driven in large part by human landscape modifications. Continued increases annual precipitation and extreme rainfall events are\, therefore\, likely further exacerbate flooding in the midcontinental US.
