SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The evolutionary implications of ecological interactions: lessons from agent-based models
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Eco-evolutionary feedbacks play a powerful role in shaping the trajectory of change in ecological communities. Developing general theory to predict these trajectories would enable a wide variety of innovations in fields ranging from evolutionary medicine to agriculture. I will discuss two vignettes from my lab's work towards developing this theory. First\, a critical step is identifying the ecological interactions that are currently occurring. To this end\, we are exploring the possibility of identifying game theoretic interactions among cancer cells via spatial pattern analysis. A necessary second component is predicting how co-evolution will shape ecological interactions over time. We are studying this problem in the context of host-endosymbiont co-evolution\, using an agent-based computational model. Specifically\, I will present our results on the impact of partner choice on the de novo evolution and stability of mutualism\, and how this impact is affected by the mutational landscape of the trait governing partner choice.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Fathers and Sons: An Antigenealogy of Loyalism and Empire
DESCRIPTION:Born to an Anglicized Dutch family in Albany\, NY\, Jacob Glen Cuyler (1773-1854) became a child of revolutionary exile. This colonial North American has long frequented histories of the early British Cape Colony in southern Africa. In South Africa\, Cuyler would for a time become a symbol\, for British humanitarians\, of settler oppressions\, and a symbol\, for Afrikaner nationalists\, of British oppressions. This paper closely examines two of his unpublished writings to extract a transoceanic story of colonialism\, loyalism and the effects of the American Revolution. In keeping with this year’s Eisenberg Institute theme\, this paper places one man and his shattered family at the center of struggles for order in the disorderly world of revolution\, imperial expansion\, and global war.\n\nGreg Dowd (History and American Culture [AC]) is past Associate Dean for the Humanities\, past chair of AC\, and past Director of Native American Studies.  His several published books and many articles explore the history of the Native North American East before 1850\, but he has also touched on the history of South Africa\, where he was a Fulbright fellow (1994) and a research fellow (2015-2016) at the University of the Witwatersrand.  He has had several fellowships and his current work is supported in part by the Michigan Humanities Award. He has won two teaching awards. He has worked for tribes in a treaty rights case. He received his Ph.D. in History at Princeton University (1986) and his BA in History from the University of Connecticut (1978).\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Roger Mathew Grant: \"The Colonial Galant Style: Eighteenth-Century Music from Chiquitania\, Bolivia\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory hosts guest scholar Roger Mathew Grant (Wesleyan University) as part of the Carrigan Lecture Series. Free and open to the public. \n\nABSTRACT: During the middle decades of the eighteenth century\, Indigenous musicians in rural South America created a distinctive musical style music under conditions of Jesuit colonization. These musicians had been forcibly relocated to mission communities in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru\, which is now eastern Bolivia. There\, they participated in vibrant scenes of choral and orchestral performance\; they trained and retrained each other in apprenticeship systems of singing\, conducting\, composition\, and instrument building. Today a substantial corpus of their music is preserved in Bolivian archives. The extant repertoire includes several large-scale operas and liturgical compositions attributed to teams of Indigenous composers. In this talk\, I offer a systematic analysis of this repertoire and its distinctive style\, which I call “colonial galant.” I argue\, first\, how the style of this repertoire is genuinely galant and very much a part of the eighteenth-century European intellectual and aesthetic movement that shares that name. I also define the colonial galant style as a distinct sub-set of the galant and demonstrate its particular features. I hope to show that close scrutiny of this colonial repertoire can help us reframe the historiography of eighteenth-century European music.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nROGER MATHEW GRANT is a music theorist and cultural historian whose research focuses on eighteenth-century music\, affect theory\, and the history of music theory. He is the author of two award-winning books\, *Peculiar Attunements: How Affect Theory Turned Musical* and *Beating Time and Measuring Music in the Early Modern Era*. His journal articles have appeared in venues such as *Critical Inquiry*\, *Representations*\, *Music Theory Spectrum*\, and the *Journal of the American Musicological Society*. Currently\, he is at work on a new book examining eighteenth-century Indigenous compositions from Jesuit missions in Bolivia. At Wesleyan University\, Roger serves as Professor of Music\, Dean of Arts and Humanities\, and Deputy Provost. He was also recently named a Guggenheim Fellow.
