SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The Ties That Bind: Evolutionary linkages between hosts\, viruses\, and genomes
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Many evolutionary processes are linked\, such that patterns in one unit inform patterns in the other. Identifying and understanding those linkages across biological scales is essential for predicting patterns of biodiversity\, disease\, and evolution\, among other variables. Here\, I integrate phylogenetic\, ecological\, and genomic approaches to examine linked evolution of mammals\, viruses\, and genomes. Specifically\, I will (1) assess the phylogenetic distribution of virus diversity across the Class Mammalia\, relative to host species richness\; (2) integrate host-virus suitability landscapes to gauge multi-annual level of risk for Choclo hantavirus and its rodent host (Oligoryzomys)\; and (3) test how mito-nuclear linkages shape hybrid dynamics in red-backed voles (Clethrionomys). Collectively\, these analyses demonstrate that evolutionary patterns in hosts\, viruses\, and genomes are tightly coupled\, such that processes operating across deep phylogeny\, geographic space\, and within-species genomic architecture mutually inform one another.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Labor\, Spirit\, and Sovereignty: Africa’s Great War\, Dr. Stephen and Lee Gork Endowed Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In writing histories of World War I\, the pull of linear narrative is an ever-present temptation\, holding out the promise of making the global conflict comprehensible. Yet under the surface of the war’s grand narratives are the many wayward histories that refuse to get in formation. The history of World War I in the African world can be\, and often has been\, written as military or political history\, in which imposing order on unruly details and examples compensates for Eurocentric sidelining or exclusion of African and African descended peoples from the historiography. This lecture examines sites of unruliness and insurgency in African histories of the war by analyzing African refusals of European imperial extraction. Faced with war-driven colonial labor and tax demands\, African peoples decried these unrelenting abuses in modes that drew on ancestral\, spiritual\, medicinal\, and Biblical authority\, gesturing towards sovereignty and political reconfiguration. Using examples from different parts of the African world\, this lecture argues for understanding the war years as a temporal frame for recognizing and naming multimodal African insurgencies against imperial extractivism and violence.\n\nMichelle Moyd is Associate Professor of History and Red Cedar Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University. She is the author of \"Violent Intermediaries: African Soldiers\, Conquest\, and Everyday Colonialism in German East Africa\,\" published by Ohio University Press in 2014. Her peer-reviewed articles have appeared in Radical History Review\, Slavery and Abolition\, and International Labor and Working Class History. She is currently working on \"The African World and the First World War\,\" under contract with Cambridge University Press for the New Approaches to African History series.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by generous contributions from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg and Stephen and Lee Gork.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Visualizing photoinduced electron transfer in molecular photocatalysts using ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:Photocatalytic dyads that combine chromophore and catalytic centers are commonly employed motifs for homogeneous light-induced multi-electron transfer catalysis. The efficiency and dynamics of directional charge separation within these molecular systems are critical excited state properties that underpin the photochemical activity of the dyads. The excited state dynamics of such systems are often investigated using optical spectroscopy methods\, which afford the high temporal resolution to capture the ultrafast dynamics of charge migration\, but are not explicitly site selective. Alternatively\, element-specific ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy offers a unique opportunity to track the redistribution of charge across the specific molecular motifs within the dyad. We are applying a combination of metal and ligand atom x-ray absorption spectroscopies to resolve the degree of intramolecular excited state charge separation in tetrapyridophenazine (tpphz)-bridged photocatalytic dyads. This work reveals electron accumulation as the primary mechanistic role of azaacene containing bridging ligands employed in photocatalytic dyads.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nathan R. Platte\, \"Glad Company: A Songful History of Mary Poppins’s Bert\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a talk by guest scholar Nathan R. Platte\, Professor of Musicology\, University of Iowa. Free and open to the public.\n\nIn Pamela Travers’s *Mary Poppins* novels\, Bert is a minor character. In Disney’s 1964 film musical\, he is a major one: a friend\, mentor\, father figure\, and jack-of-all trades who sings half of the film’s songs. This presentation accounts for the difference between books and film by showing how Bert’s character became a recurring solution to problems arising in the film’s development. Increasingly\, Bert’s songs came to hold the more slippery threads of Travers’s novels\, including matters of social standing\, affection\, and spiritual wonder. Drawing together story treatments\, conference notes\, scripts\, and song drafts\, this talk frames Bert as a reconciling presence\, whose onscreen assistance of others echoes his role in assuaging disagreement between novelist Travers and the film’s songwriters\, Richard and Robert Sherman.\n\nRefreshments to follow.
