British Studies Faculty RIG Presentation with Vince Cheng

English Abstract What does it mean to be, say, American?  Who qualifies as “American”?  Does a Somali or an Afghan person, even if born in the USA, qualify? Who belongs, and who should be expelled or deported?  Indeed, who qualifies as “British”—and what does it mean to be British?  Or German? Or Polish?  “Whose land” (U 7.271) is it anyway?  And “Dyoublong?” (FW 13.04) These issues, so pertinent and heatedly contested in our own contemporary debates around immigration, naturalization, birth citizenship, indeed around who is sufficiently and authentically native to belong—were also crucial questions in James Joyce’s time: what does it mean to be Irish? Who qualifies as being “truly” Irish?   I want to explore the issue of belonging in Joyce’s works (particularly in Finnegans Wake) by looking at Joyce’s insistent—actually, ubiquitous—treatment of doubling (“dyoublong”: doubling and belonging). For the logics of exclusion (from belonging, from citizenship, from the patria) depend on a series of binaries that Joyce… Event Categories: Academic & Holiday. Info Sessions.

PHIL Colloquium Series - Sergio Tenenbaum

Philosophy Collective Action as an Extension of Extended Action Sergio Tenenbaum University of Toronto   In this paper I will argue that whatever the merits of giving a prominent place to intention in the theory of agency, such merits are not present in the case of collective agency. Collective agency is best understood by taking collective actions to be conceptually basic and to be understood independently of any prior collective intention, or similar individual mental states. Taking collective action as prior to collective intention in the order of explanation provides a straightforward way to understand joint agency. On this view, joint agency is a simple extension of the case of extended agency. More specifically, I argue that the individual parts of collective agency are “glued together” in the same way that the momentary parts of extended agency are. Accepting this claim and the corresponding model does not demand accepting commitments about the explanatory priority of action that go beyond the case of collective… Event Categories: Lectures.

"The People of Yorktown in Revolutionary Times" the O. Meredith Wilson Lecture from Kathleen DuVal

History Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Kathleen DuVal will present a public lecture entitled “The People of Yorktown in Revolutionary Times.” Yorktown, Virginia, holds a familiar place in the history of the American Revolution: In the Siege of Yorktown in the fall of 1781, American and French forces helped to end the Revolutionary War and win American independence. Yet the famous siege is only part of Yorktown’s involvement in the Revolution. Its townspeople participated in the boycotts and protests from the beginning, and repeated invasions endangered the town and its people. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Kathleen DuVal explores what the Revolution was like for the people of Yorktown—men and women, wealthy and poor, free and enslaved—and how their experiences can help us craft a more complete history of how people lived through the Revolution and what it meant to them. Reception at 2pm, lecture at 3pm. Campus Locations: Alumni House - Eccles (ALUMNI). Room Name/Number: Ballroom A/B. Cost: Free. Campus Wide Event: Yes. Thursday, November 12, 2026, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

Kevin Reed Public Lecture: "Advancing climate solutions through discovery and partnership"

Wilkes Center Abstract: Addressing the complex challenges associated with climate change requires strong partnerships among universities, industry, government, and communities to better understand local climate impacts and co-develop solutions that are practical and responsive to regional needs.

Physics & Astronomy "Using Intensity Mapping Simulations to Constrain Cosmic Reionization and High-Redshift Galaxies" Abigail Ambrose Weber State Hosted by Kyle Dawson Zoom information, if attending remotely: https://utah.zoom.us/j/82859370639 Meeting ID: 828 5937 0639 | Passcode: 532587, "Using Intensity Mapping Simulations to Constrain Cosmic Reionization and High-Redshift Galaxies" Abstract: Line intensity mapping is an emerging technique that can be used to probe cosmic reionization by constructing large-scale, three-dimensional maps of spectral line emission from galaxies and the intergalactic medium (IGM). This allows us to probe faint sources that are challenging to directly detect, including the galaxies in the early universe which drove reionization. We still have a poor understanding of the timing and structure of this transition. Intensity mapping of lines sensitive to the ionization state of the IGM can provide further constraints on the properties of reionization. In this talk, I will discuss simulations of these… Campus Locations: Skaggs, L. S. Applied Science Building (LSSB). Room Name/Number: LSSB W0120. Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Chemistry-Seminars TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Title: Spectroscopy and Scattering Experiments on Flat Liquid Jets, Abstract: The dynamics of photoexcited solute molecules and the properties of liquid interfaces are studied by carrying out spectroscopy and scattering experiments on flat liquid water jets. In one set of experiments, solute dynamics are probed using time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in which molecules are photoexcited with a femtosecond UV pulse and photoionized with a time-delayed femtosecond XUV pulse (at 21.7 eV). The time-dependent photoelectron spectra provide a unique probe of the relaxation of photoexcited neutral and anionic species in aqueous solution. Results will be presented for several negative ions including phenolate,1 bromophenolate, 2 and nitrophenolate. These experiments probe the competition among the various relaxation pathways including internal conversion, dissociation, and electron ejection. In complementary experiments, the liquid interface is explored in… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Monday, November 16, 2026, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM. For more info visit sites.google.com.

Many of the materials used today for solar-energy conversion, batteries, hydrogen production, and the conversion of CO₂ into fuels and chemicals rely on resources, processing methods, or device architectures that are not inherently compatible with long-term sustainability. Moreover, sustainability demands long operational lifetimes, a requirement that challenges conventional approaches to manufacturing and consumption and renews the importance of designing materials and devices that can be repaired, regenerated, or healed.

National Theatre Live, “Les Liaisons Dangereuses”

Tanner Humanities Center Olivier and Tony Award winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin. Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare. Since 2009, National Theatre Live has brought acclaimed British theatre to over 5.5 million viewers worldwide, featuring productions like Phèdre with Helen Mirren, Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch, and Yerma with Billie Piper. Each show is filmed live with cameras placed to give cinema audiences the “best seat in the house.”… Alternate Location: Broadway Centre Cinemas, 111 E. Broadway.

National Theatre Live, “The Misanthrope”

Tanner Humanities Center Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.  Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play. Since 2009, National Theatre Live has brought acclaimed British theatre to over 5.5 million viewers worldwide, featuring productions like Phèdre with Helen Mirren, Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch, and Yerma with Billie Piper. Each show is filmed live with cameras placed to give cinema audiences the “best seat in the house.” The Tanner Humanities Center began screening National Theatre Live in 2010, now hosted at Salt Lake Film Society’s… Alternate Location: Broadway Centre Cinemas, 111 E.
