SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Renée Tamblyn\, Universität Bern
DESCRIPTION:Much of the surviving Archean continental crust is comprised of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) suites\, leading to the question – how did they form? Geochemical\, experimental\, field\, and phase equilibrium forward modeling studies have identified basalt as a likely source of partial melting to form these ubiquitous TTGs\, pointing to the importance of metamorphic processes in the generation of the Earth’s crust. Fractionation of phases such as garnet and plagioclase during partial melting and subsequent fractional crystallization have been shown to shape the major and trace element chemistry of TTGs. Additionally\, the importance of free water available to assist in partial melting has been highlighted\, and likely is sourced from ultramafic lithologies such as komatiites.\n\nKomatiites are ultramafic (MgO > 18 wt. %) volcanic rocks found almost exclusively in Archean greenstone belts. They are extensively hydrated\, as they were serpentinised on the ocean floor after their eruption in oceanic plateaux-type settings. The dehydration of komatiites may play a role in tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) and therefore continental crust formation. Hydrated komatiites can retain their mineral-bound water to significant temperatures\, releasing up to 6 wt.% H2O between 500–800 °C. Burial\, underthrusting\, or subduction of the komatiites would cause them to release their water and trigger partial melting of basalts to form TTGs at these conditions. As such\, it appears that greenstone belts may contain the necessary ingredients to produce TTGs\, including alkaline\, tholeiitic\, and high-Mg basalts\, and komatiites. However\, they also contain Ca-rich sediments (greywackes)\, carbonates\, varied intrusive rocks\, felsic and mafic volcaniclastics\, and other clastic and chemical sediments\, which may also play a role in continental crust genesis. Modeling of partial melting of these lithologies can explore the types of melts produced during water-fluxed melting\, to further understand the processes which formed the earliest continental crust.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Event. Indigenous Traditions of Resistance to Extractivism (Lecture & Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 20\, 2024 (Room 555\, Weiser Hall)\n\nWorkshop: 12-1:30 PM — “Palestinians and Native People are Comrades: The Political Economy of Oil and Indigenous-Palestinian Solidarity”\nRSVP is required to attend. Reading materials will be emailed before the workshop. Register at https://myumi.ch/5y1VW\n\nLecture: 4-6 PM — “Maoism Without Guarantees: Third World Influences on Fourth World Anti-Colonialism in Canada”\n\nThis event explores the impact of Third World Maoist ideologies on Fourth World anti-colonial movements in Canada. Through examining how global revolutionary ideas shaped Indigenous struggles for sovereignty and resistance to colonialism\, the discussion will offer insights into the intersections of global and local anti-colonial effort.\n   \nGlen Coulthard is an associate professor in First Nations and Indigenous Studies and in the Department of Political Science. Glen has written and published numerous articles and chapters in the areas of contemporary political theory\, indigenous thought and politics\, and radical social and political thought (marxism\, anarchism\, post-colonialism). His most recent work on Frantz Fanon and the politics of recognition won Contemporary Political Theory’s Annual Award for Best Article of the Year in 2007. He is Yellowknives Dene.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Anthropology\, Department of Political Science\, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures\, LSA Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, and Institute for the Humanities\n\nFunding for this event was partially provided by the Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Office and the Institute for Humanities departments in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts (LSA).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Rada Mihalcea is the Janice M. Jenkins Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Artificial Intelligence Lab. Her research interests are in computational linguistics\, with a focus on lexical semantics\, multilingual natural language processing\, and computational social sciences. She serves or has served on the editorial boards of the Journals of Computational Linguistics\, Language Resources and Evaluations\, Natural Language Engineering\, Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research\, IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing\, and  Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics. She was a program co-chair for EMNLP 2009 and ACL 2011\, and a general chair for NAACL 2015 and *SEM 2019. She is an ACM Fellow\, a AAAI Fellow\, and served as ACL President (2018-2022 Vice/Past). She is the recipient of a Sarah Goddard Power award (2019) for her contributions to diversity in science\, an honorary citizen of her hometown of Cluj-Napoca\, Romania (2013)\, and the recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers awarded by President Obama (2009).\n\nDETAILS:\nWhy Is AI W.E.I.R.D. And Shouldn't Be This Way\n\nRecent years have witnessed remarkable advancements in AI\, with language and vision models that have enabled progress in numerous applications and opened the door to the integration of AI in areas such as communication\, transportation\, healthcare\, and arts. Yet\, many of these models and their corresponding datasets are W.E.I.R.D. (Western\, Educated\, Industrialized\, Rich\, Democratic) and they are reflective of a small fraction of the population.(*) In this talk\, I will show some of the limitations and lack of representation of current AI models\, and highlight the need for cross-cultural language and vision models that can capture the diversity of behaviors\, beliefs\, and language expressions across different groups. I will also explore ways in which we can address these limitations by developing models that are re-centered around people and their unique characteristics.\n\n(*) W.E.I.R.D. is  an acronym widely used in psychology to indicate the limitations of many of the studies carried out in the field
