Zoom Registration: https://washington.zoom.us/meeting/register/luVLQlyaR56whd2GaPnNpQ
This presentation will examine the complex relationship between the AJAMAAT community and the Atlantic slave trade, with a particular focus on the role of the FUPILA socioreligious institution. The FUPILA evolved from a spiritual practice into a mechanism for regulating the distribution of captives, becoming intertwined with the economic dynamics of the slave trade. Scholars debate whether the AJAMAAT initially rejected or gradually participated in the trade. Some argue for 'deferred' involvement, while others suggest 'small raids'. The analysis also critiques the historical interpretation of the FUPILA as falling somewhere between a fetish and a shrine without considering its deeper spiritual and economic functions. This work aims to address these conflicting views and the epistemic injustices in how AJAMAAT institutions have been understood within the broader context of colonialism and slavery.

Book Talk: 'Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy: Sexual Disorientation in the Films of Tsai Ming-liang' with Nicholas de Villiers
In Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy: Sexual Disorientation in the Films of Tsai Ming-liang (University of Minnesota Press, 2022), Nicholas de Villiers contends that we need to theorize both queer time and space to understand Taiwan-based director Tsai Ming-liang's cinematic explorations of feeling melancholy, cruisy, and sleepy. Building on those arguments, this presentation starts with a reading of Tsai’s short film It’s a Dream (2007)—set in a movie theater in Malaysia—as a microcosm of Tsai’s themes and motifs of sleep/dreaming, cruising, nostalgia, and the space of the cinema. It then addresses Tsai’s “post-retirement” (after 2013) films and museum installations, including the queer Teddy award-winning digital feature film Days (Rizi, 2020) shot in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and the short film The Night (2021) shot in Hong Kong in 2019. Both were featured in the solo exhibition Tsai Ming-liang’s Days at the Museum of National Taipei University of Education (MoNTUE) in 2023, experimenting with "expanded…

The practice encourages you to move in nature at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that the practice lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
During this class the guide, in partnership with the forest, will offer an evolving series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. The opening of one’s senses encourages mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world. Come discover the medicine of being in the forest.

NW RISCC will host a 1-hour multi-speaker webinar on the impacts of different climate variables on weed biocontrol agents and their success in the Northwest.
We will begin with a brief overview of weed biocontrol, and then discuss how climate change may impact biocontrol systems at different stages of planning and implementation. Our speakers will highlight as examples the control agents and their host dynamics for St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), and knotweed (Reynoutria spp.).
This event will also serve as the launching point for a working group to address knowledge gaps around Northwest biocontrol in a changing climate, including modeling population dynamics and geographic distributions of agents under different climate scenarios and developing a framework for collecting data to disentangle climate impacts from other drivers of population dynamics.

SHACS: Debarshi Mustafi, MD, PhD - Unraveling the genetic complexity of Usher Syndrome through long-read genome sequencing
Usher syndrome is the most common cause of combined inherited deafness and blindness, yet its genetic architecture remains unresolved due to extreme allelic heterogeneity, complex structural variation, and limitations of short-read sequencing. In this talk, I will highlight how long-read genome sequencing is transforming our ability to unravel the full genetic complexity of Usher syndrome. By enabling direct phasing of variants, detection of deep intronic and structural changes, and simultaneous assessment of epigenetic context, long-read approaches overcome critical blind spots in conventional diagnostic pipelines. I will present recent findings demonstrating how these technologies improve molecular diagnosis, resolve previously unsolved cases, and clarify genotype–phenotype correlations across Usher subtypes. Finally, I will discuss how integrating long-read sequencing into clinical and research workflows advances precision medicine for patients with Usher syndrome, opening new avenues for prognostication,…

Distinguished Lecture Series: Meredith Ringel Morris - HCI for AGI
Abstract:
The past few years have seen rapid advances in frontier AI models, demonstrating increasing performance and generality. As progress continues toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) scholarship and practice has a critical role to play in ensuring that AI technology is useful to and usable by people to accomplish tasks they value. HCI insights can help us maximize the benefit of AI technologies to individuals, communities, and society while allowing us to understand how to mitigate harms. In this talk, I will describe a research vision for the field of HCI in the AGI era, examining how researchers can facilitate progress toward and adoption of advanced AI via interaction techniques, interface designs, physical form factors, design methods, evaluation methods, benchmarking approaches, and data collection techniques.

Financial aid slots available on a first-come, first-served basis, REGISTER ONLINE, Though it seems there isn't much to do in the garden over winter, dormant season tasks can set the stage for a good gardening year. When weather keeps us indoors, we can plan ahead for tasks and garden changes to be done in the months ahead.

Clinton Westman | Welcome & Research Presentation | In the Land of Giants? Climate, Infrastructure, and Politics in Canada’s Oil Sands
Join us for a special Welcome and Research Presentation with 2025-26 UW Fulbright Canada Special Foundation Fellow, Clinton Westman. Coffee and pastries will be provided.
Canada’s energy industry, like many other sectors in the country’s economy, is at a strategic inflection point, which has implications for trade, national unity, and Indigenous rights. In recent decades, mainly owing to the growth of oil sands/tar sands (bitumen) extraction in northern Alberta, Canada has moved to near the front of the global pack as an oil-exporting nation. In 2024, Canada exported, on average, a record 4.2 million barrels of oil per day. Much of this product has been exported to and/or processed in the US, with Canada now providing over half of US oil imports. Canada has also expanded pipeline capacity to the Pacific Coast to access Asia-Pacific markets. Given price discounts and current uncertainties of trade with the US, there is currently a push to build another coastal pipeline and to reduce perceived impediments to…

indira allegra: The Book of Zero
Death is a fundamental first step to rebirth, but this transition can be a daunting prospect without a compassionate guide. Our 2026 Jacob Lawrence Legacy Resident, Indira Allegra, intervenes with The Book of Zero, a multimedia meditative experience that brings together powerful sensations and visuals that have emerged during Allegra’s investigations into doula work, death care, and cycles of the body and environment.
In The Book of Zero, water, weaving, and projections animate the earth and its afflictions. The structures of hate that have plagued our communities—white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, bigotry—are in their final death throes, but they need to be helped along the way to their ultimate dissolution. Borrowing from the narrative structures and poetic repetition of sacred texts, Allegra’s guidance in The Book of Zero pushes through the violence of a difficult ending with compassion in order to welcome the spirit of a new beginning.
Rebirth happens on both collective and individual levels. The…

Ancient architects tell us that every Roman settlement should have a prison at its center, and archaeology suggests that most cities did. Purpose-built prisons populated the ancient Mediterranean and so did practices of incarceration: sentences of prison time stood beside manual labor in cities, in bakeries, and in mines. Less fortunate souls entered facilities to await execution, sometimes for years. This lecture explores the evidence for ancient incarceration in vignettes: reading letters that prisoners wrote on papyrus, investigating spaces where they were held, and analyzing depictions of captives in monuments, law-courts, and homes. Roman evidence does not model a just society, but it does offer a mirror where we can see modern practices of incarceration in a new light, asking which aspects of contemporary prisons are unique to modernity, and which reflect longer histories.
