Yet, within this archival erasure, Palestinians remain deeply committed to preserving their collective memory and history. Considering this, this presentation addresses the following research question: Given the large-scale destruction and repression of formal Palestinian archives under Israeli settler colonialism, how are Palestinians persevering in the decolonization and preservation of their historical narratives? To advance knowledge about how Palestinian archival practices operate within a framework of ongoing settler colonialism and genocide, this study focuses on the archival infrastructures and practices of one transnational group of Palestinians, those hailing from the city of Ramallah in the West Bank. Based on findings from a multi-sited archival ethnography of preservation practices utilized by Palestinians who have emigrated from Ramallah to the United States as well as Palestinians living in Ramallah in the West Bank, I show how Palestinians have archived the history of Ramallah from their exiled position in the diaspora and their occupied position in the homeland. In doing so, I contribute knowledge to archival studies\u2019 understanding of cultural heritage preservation under settler colonial violence, decolonial approaches to recordkeeping, and indigenous epistemologies of archives.\r\n \r\nTamara Rayan is a PhD candidate in the School of Information at the University of Michigan, studying archives and digital curation. Their work focuses on representing the Palestinian diaspora and trauma in archival practices. Their work has been published in Across the Disciplines and Archival Science.\r\n\r\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

By cross-correlating CMB maps with galaxy surveys, the kSZ effect therefore allows us to tomographically reconstruct the velocity field of large-scale structure, which contains a wealth of cosmological information. In the last decade, this emerging program of kSZ tomography for cosmological inference has shown great progress, with many new theoretical applications and continual improvements in data analysis. However, very recently, kSZ velocity reconstructions with ACT and DESI data have shown a small signal than predicted by theoretical models. This discrepancy may point us to new physical insights, for example about baryonic feedback, and ultimately raises questions about the future prospects of constraining cosmology with kSZ tomography. In this talk, I will discuss the recent rapid development in kSZ tomography, highlight the challenge that these new measurements present to us, and suggest a path forward.",

In his sixth problem, Hilbert called for the derivation of the equations of fluid mechanics\u2014such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations\u2014by way of rigorously justifying Boltzmann\u2019s kinetic theory for particle systems. The scope of this program, also known as Hilbert\u2019s program, was precisely framed in the mid-20th century through the works of Grad and Cercignani, who identified the correct limiting process involved: the Boltzmann-Grad limit. In his celebrated work, Lanford (1975) gave the first rigorous derivation of Boltzmann\u2019s equations, albeit only valid for short times. However, Hilbert\u2019s sixth problem requires a long-time extension of Lanford's result, which remained open for decades. In recent joint work with Yu Deng (U Chicago) and Xiao Ma (U Michigan), we extend Lanford\u2019s theorem to long times\u2014specifically for as long as the solution of Boltzmann\u2019s equation exists. This allows for the full execution of Hilbert\u2019s program, and the derivation of the fluid equations in the Boltzmann-Grad limit. The underlying strategy follows an earlier joint work with Yu Deng that resolved a parallel problem, in which colliding particles are replaced by nonlinear waves; thus establishing the mathematical foundations of wave turbulence theory.
