How can photography help us to see and understand a place that is unfamiliar?
This exhibition brings together new work by four artists who undertook residencies in cities far from home. Two artists from Marseille, France–Yohanne Lamoulère and Geoffroy Mathieu–traveled to Atlanta, while two Atlanta-based artists–Nydia Blas and Joshua Dudley Greer–spent time in Marseille. While abroad, each artist used photography as a tool for navigation, encounter, and reflection.

Estimating Causal Effects of Discrete and Continuous Treatments with Binary Instruments
University Events
In this talk, the author proposes an instrumental variable framework for identifying and estimating causal effects of discrete and continuous treatments with binary instruments. The basis of the approach is a local copula representation of the joint distribution of the potential outcomes and unobservables determining treatment assignment. This representation allows the introduction of an identifying assumption, so-called constant local dependence, that restricts the local dependence of the copula with respect to the treatment propensity. It shows that constant local dependence identifies treatment effects for the entire population and other subpopulations such as the treated. The identification results are constructive and lead to practical estimation and inference procedures based on distribution regression. An application to estimating the effect of sleep on well-being uncovers interesting patterns of heterogeneity.

What's Love Got to Do with It? Free Energy and Stable Marriage in Microbial Communities
Almost every environment on Earth, from the human gut to sediments deep below the seafloor, hosts communities of hundreds of microbial species. These microbes compete for food, live off each other's metabolic byproducts, and together carry out chemistry that no single species could manage alone. Such communities are complex many-body systems. In some cases they are surprisingly reproducible. In others, the same species in the same environment can settle into very different states depending on their history. In this talk I will introduce microbial ecology from a physicist's point of view. I will show how minimal models, built from a few ingredients such as resources, consumers, and conservation laws, can explain both behaviors.
The first model concerns energy-starved environments, such as deep subsurface sediments or the anaerobic digesters of wastewater treatment plants. There, cells may divide only once in weeks or…

Fala "Good Housing" | Health Lecture
Art History
Join Emory Art History on Tuesday October 20 at 6PM in Ackerman Hall, at the Carlos Museum, for Heath Lecture:
“Good Housing”
Ana Luísa Soares
Founding Partner of fala atelier
Good housing is not the optimization of a known answer, but the suspicion that the question itself remains unresolved. It treats architecture not as the production of repetition, but as the possibility of manufacturing freedom within constraint. Budgets, regulations, typologies, and ordinary construction systems cease to be limitations and become design material, capable of supporting alternative forms of collective life. Rather than prescribing how life should unfold, it accommodates unpredictability, negotiation, contradiction, and surprise. It is neither luxury nor spectacle, but a form of collective generosity achieved through an economy of means. Good housing is not a classification, a standard, or a typology. It is a horizon. The persistent belief that, even under the most ordinary conditions, architecture can still expand…

Durning and the dancers will discuss “nonstopping,” her revolutionary improvisational system utilized in The Play.

A post-show discussion will follow the October 23 performance.

How can photography help us to see and understand a place that is unfamiliar?
This exhibition brings together new work by four artists who undertook residencies in cities far from home. Two artists from Marseille, France–Yohanne Lamoulère and Geoffroy Mathieu–traveled to Atlanta, while two Atlanta-based artists–Nydia Blas and Joshua Dudley Greer–spent time in Marseille. While abroad, each artist used photography as a tool for navigation, encounter, and reflection.

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Girl 6
October 21 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
1996 | Run Time: 108 min | 35mm
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Stephane Dunn (Morehouse College)
Print provided by Yale Film Archive. Girl 6 is Spike Lee’s eighth commercial film and the third where he centers a woman as the main protagonist. Made in 1996, it is based on a play by African-American playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. It examines the phone sex business (as a parody of Hollywood) and one Black woman’s dreams against her negotiation of that industry. Essence gushes about Theresa Randle who stars as girl 6 saying, “Randle possesses the chameleonlike ability to be every woman you've ever known and one you've never met before.” Even cultural critic bell hooks, known for getting in Lee’s a** about his work, says: “I find Girl 6 to be a movie that not only challenges Hollywood but is a critical read on Hollywood.”
In a surrealist tone, the film attempts to deconstruct the lucrative but under-explored entertainment…

“African Heritage Religions and Afro-Caribbean Womanism”
University Events
Candler’s Women, Theology, and Ministry program welcomes all to the WTM Women’s Forum featuring Dianne Stewart, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Emory University.
Womanism is a transatlantic phenomenon with understudied legacies in the Afro-Caribbean, especially among spiritual communities beyond the Christian tradition. This lecture revisits longstanding womanist approaches to spirituality, theology, and ministry to explore legacies of Afro-Caribbean womanism among custodians of two African heritage religions: Trinidadian Yoruba-Orisa and Jamaican Kumina. It underscores the influential roles that spiritual mothers and daughters have played in the preservation and defense of their religious communities and the impact of their ministries on changing perception of African heritage religions in the public life and cultures of Caribbean societies.

How can photography help us to see and understand a place that is unfamiliar?
This exhibition brings together new work by four artists who undertook residencies in cities far from home. Two artists from Marseille, France–Yohanne Lamoulère and Geoffroy Mathieu–traveled to Atlanta, while two Atlanta-based artists–Nydia Blas and Joshua Dudley Greer–spent time in Marseille. While abroad, each artist used photography as a tool for navigation, encounter, and reflection.

CPCS | Dr. Daniel LaChance: "Negative Exposure: Capital Punishment, Race, and Culture in the US South, 1877-1936"
History
Sponsor: The Interdisciplinary Workshop in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies (CPCS). Co-sponsors: The Laney Graduate School, the Emory College of Arts & Sciences, and the Department of History.
Bio:
Daniel LaChance is the Andrew W. Mellon Faculty Fellow in Law and the Humanities, and Associate Professor of History at Emory University. He is an interdisciplinary legal scholar who writes on crime and punishment in the United States, past and present.
Abstract:
This chapter examines how race shaped the transformation of capital punishment in the American South between 1877 and 1936. Although Black men constituted nearly three-quarters of those executed in the former Confederate states, Southern newspapers devoted disproportionate attention and sympathy to condemned white men. I trace how sentimental narratives of white men’s courage, dignity, and remorse—often infused with Lost Cause mythology—portrayed their executions as redemptive acts that affirmed their honor and belonging. Coverage of Black men's…

25 Years of Bridging Traditions: From Science Education to Collaborative Research
University Events
Inspired by His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s vision of bringing modern science into the centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist monastic educational tradition, the Emory-Tibet Science Initiative (ETSI) has developed a six-year science curriculum for Tibetan Buddhist monastic institutions, which has been implemented since 2014. Over the years, ETSI has also fostered a unique partnership between scientists and Tibetan monastic scholars, creating opportunities for dialogue, shared inquiry, and research collaborations. As part of Emory-Tibet Week’s 25th anniversary celebration, this panel explores ETSI’s journey from introducing science education to cultivating monastic science educators and researchers. Through reflections on shared experiences, achievements, and emerging research collaborations, panelists will highlight how these two rich intellectual traditions continue to learn from one another and explore new possibilities for advancing scientific understanding and human flourishing.

Ensuring Fairness and Respect in the Workplace
University Events
Fairness is something we all care about - professionally and personally. Research shows that even when we set out with the best intentions, people sometimes make decisions influenced by patterns they didn't choose and may not notice. This training takes a candid, judgment-free look at how those patterns develop, where they show up at work, and what we can do about them. Participants leave with a clearer understanding of how bias operates in the workplace — and practical tools to make more intentional, fair decisions in their everyday work.

Inducing quantum states in materials with light
Recent advances in laser technology allow for higher levels of quantum state control in materials. In this talk, I will describe recent theoretical studies from my group exploring different mechanisms of quantum state control. I will discuss situations of coexisting competing orders, Floquet engineering of psuedo-magnetic fields, and a scheme for opto-electrical control of chiral lattice structure for reversable, non-contact enantiomer control in a material. The signatures of these states and transitions in various observables will be discussed.

The challenges and possibilities of this moment will be shaped at the level of community. Every city, neighborhood, and gathering place carries its own stories of hope, struggle, belonging, resilience, and possibility. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, communities across Metro Atlanta are asking not only what America has promised, but what kind of future we are willing to build together. Your story is America’s story. And together, our stories help shape the larger story of who we are becoming.
These gatherings invite people to share their stories, listen with care, and imagine a future where everyone is seen, heard, valued, and able to thrive.

What Moved You? Closing Reflections on the Carlos Museum’s Compassion Exhibit
University Events
From January to November 2026, the Carlos Museum's exhibit "Compassion: What Moves You?" was a key part of Emory's Year of Compassion. More than a display of art, the exhibit invited visitors to respond: its reflection spaces and built-in research component made it an ongoing conversation with the community. Visitors left more than 4,000 cards relating their experiences. Exhibition curators and student researchers from Emory’s Social Empathy Lab will share what these responses reveal, alongside Youth Voices, featuring reflections from students around the globe who engage in SEE Learning® an educational program of the Emory Compassion Center. Together, these perspectives offer a window into how people of different ages and backgrounds understand and experience compassion. We’ll reflect on what the year has taught us and consider where this work goes next. Join the conversation as the exhibition comes to a close.

1997 | Run Time: 102 min. | Digital
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Christine Acham (University of Hawai'i at Manoa)
4 Little Girls is Spike Lee’s first feature-length documentary. The film asks audiences to relive the horrific tragedy of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama on a Sunday morning in 1963. It poignantly examines not only what happened but more importantly, the lives of the girls killed and the lives of those left behind. “Only a filmmaker so resourceful, so entirely confident in his practiced craft, could have made such a quilt out of patches of nightmare and nostalgia – of gospels, ghosts, and grief. And only Lee, having earned the trust of these people, could have persuaded them to talk to him” (New York Magazine).
Film scholar Delphine Letort writes about Lee’s documentary practice and his turn to documentary making saying: “The documentary’s explanatory approach to…

Over lunch, we will hear from library director Bo Adams on the successes of the Kessler Collection this past year, highlighting new acquisitions, programming, and research in the collection.
In the afternoon, we will turn our attention to the 18th-century Lutheran refugees, the Salzburgers, the first Lutherans to settle in Georgia. By considering the expulsion of the Salzburgers in Europe, their theological commitments and heirs, and their settlement in Georgia, the panel will invite guests to ask what lessons contemporary communities may learn from the Salzburgers’ plight and welcome.

How can photography help us to see and understand a place that is unfamiliar?
This exhibition brings together new work by four artists who undertook residencies in cities far from home. Two artists from Marseille, France–Yohanne Lamoulère and Geoffroy Mathieu–traveled to Atlanta, while two Atlanta-based artists–Nydia Blas and Joshua Dudley Greer–spent time in Marseille. While abroad, each artist used photography as a tool for navigation, encounter, and reflection.
Atlanta and Marseille are both important southern capitals. Though environmentally and historically distinct–Marseille as a port city on the Mediterranean with origins dating back to ancient Greece circa 600 BCE, and Atlanta a landlocked city founded as a railroad terminus…

CMBC LECTURE | Melissa Perreault "A diversity of perspectives for inclusive research: Bridging Indigenous and Western ways of knowing"
CMBC
"A diversity of perspectives for inclusive research: Bridging Indigenous and Western ways of knowing"
It has been well established that a diversity of perspectives leads to greater innovation and scientific advancements. However, the integration of diverse perspectives can be daunting for some due to a lack of understanding, fear of punitive actions when errors are made, or simply the lack of desire to put in the work. The goal of this talk is to demonstrate the value of diverse perspectives in enhancing both breadth of knowledge and humility in research and clinical practices for brain health. Highlighting some common features of Indigenous epistemologies that are also significant components of Euro-Western science, some of the core features inherent in traditional ways of knowing, learning, teaching, exploring, and communicating in Indigenous cultures will be described. Artificial intelligence and neurotechnology, and the associated risks of colonial entrenchment, will also be discussed. As neuroscience…

Throughout history and across cultures, people have found meaningful ways to remember and honor those who have passed away. Many examples of these traditions can be found in the galleries of the Carlos Museum, such as the Colima Dog (Xoloitzcuintli), believed by the ancient Mesoamerican cultures in Mexico to guide the deceased safely through the underworld, to the Egyptian Letter to the Dead, written by Merirtyfy to her late husband Nebetiotef. Contemporary artist, Sergio Suárez, also explores memory, remembrance, and connections across time through his prints, ceramics and sculptures.

University Events
Abstract: U.S. federal grants disproportionately flow to Democratic counties, and the correlation between partisanship and grants has been increasing over the last 40 years. In this paper, we document this phenomenon and explore its explanations and implications. Prior grants have become increasingly predictive of Democratic votes, but prior Democratic votes have not become increasingly predictive of grants. Furthermore, counties do not receive more grants as they become more Democratic, nor do they become more Democratic as they receive more grants. The most likely explanation for the increasing correlation between partisanship and grants is that highly educated places have always received more grants but they have become increasingly Democratic for other reasons. Although explicit partisan favoritism may not be the explanation, federal grants have become increasingly politicized and polarizing as Republican places decreasingly benefit from non-formula grants.

Ethics at the Movies: El Regreso
University Events
At Age 7, Sam Ramirez-Herrera left Mexico with her family in pursuit of the American Dream. Now a filmmaker, DACA recipient and advocate for undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Sam, like so many other “Dreamers,” finds herself caught between two nations—fully belonging to none. On the eve of Dia De Los Muertos, she is offered the opportunity to return to Mexico after 30 years away. Leaving the U.S. for the first time, Sam embarks on a journey to reconnect with her past and convene with her Mexican family, both living and dead. As her trip stirs traumas on both sides of the border, her homecoming reveals to her the great cost of her decades old crossing and upends her conception of the American Dream she's spent her life fighting to achieve. Against the vibrant visual backdrop of Mexico's Day Of The Dead, El Regreso explores rebirth through the lens of one dreamer’s awakening.
Q & A to follow with Samantha Ramirez-Herrera, Director of El Regreso and moderator David Barba, Associate Professor, Emory…

Introduced by Dr. Samantha Sheppard (Cornell University)
If you’ve ever watched New York professional basketball or witnessed the 2026 championship Knicks play, you’ve seen Spike Lee live and in color. Lee is an avid basketball fan and has floor seats for all Knicks home games. He is also the director of many commercials that illuminate the sport like Chic H.I.S. the Continental Basketball Association, and those that kicked off the relationship between Michael Jordan and Nike. Lee’s love and knowledge of basketball make his 1998 film He Got Game aesthetically beautiful and contemplative.

CMBC LECTURE | Talia Dan-Cohen "The Limits of Complexity"
CMBC
"The Limits of Complexity"
Over the past few decades, reduction and simplification have become conspicuous villains in certain corners of the humanities and humanistic social sciences. They have been attributed primary responsibility for failed modernist schemes, environmental degradation, and a vast array of social ills. Meanwhile, complexity—the term most often opposed to both reduction and simplification—has gained broad purchase as both a description of how things really are, and as an epistemic virtue. Since simplicity is bad and sometimes violent, complexity is ipso facto a good thing. In this talk, I examine some different sites and discourses in which complexity has played an important role over the past century. I show that the ubiquity of “complexity” has been underwritten by vastly different—and sometimes conflicting—projects. In so doing, I give a counterintuitive account of how “complexity” got to be everywhere.

Host material incorporated into biofilm matrices alters the biofilm's viscoelastic mechanics and microstructure and helps protect against clearance by the immune system
Biofilms are aggregates of single-cell organisms that are stuck to each other by a matrix of polymers, including polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Biofilms are viscoelastic materials, possessing both solid-like (elastic) and fluid-like (viscous) properties. They are also highly inhomogeneous, non-continuum materials, with micron-sized bacteria intermingled with polymers that can have widths of 2-100nm and lengths of tens of microns or more.
Biofilms can form infections that tolerate antibiotics and evade the immune system. Indeed, most chronic bacterial infections are made by bacterial biofilms. Most of these infections grow in anatomical locations which are rich in Type I collagen, which is the most abundant protein in all vertebrates, including humans. We have recently shown, using a mouse model for chronic wounds, that…

CMBC LECTURE | Robert Wilson "The Role of Information and Randomization in Exploration and Exploitation"
CMBC
"The Role of Information and Randomization in Exploration and Exploitation"
Many decisions involve a trade-off between exploring unknown options for information and exploiting known options for a more certain payoff. In this talk I will present evidence that people use two strategies to solve these explore-exploit dilemmas: directed exploration, driven by information, and random exploitation, driven by noise. These two strategies appear to rely on dissociable cognitive and neural processes, but I will show that they can arise from a single model based on mental simulation. This model accounts for the effects of uncertainty, time horizon, and the informativeness of feedback on directed and random exploitation as well as more recent findings suggesting that random exploitation is truly random. I will end with a discussion of our future work where we aim to study explore-exploit decisions in the real world.
