Mindlin Public Lecture: Chris Glein (Southwest Research Institute) "Seafaring in Space: A Personal Voyage to Enceladus"

Please join us for a reception in JHN 141 at 5:30 pm for free pizza and drinks! Keywords: Planetary science, astrobiology, geochemistry, oceanography, glaciology Abstract: We look for life to better understand our place in the universe, to satisfy a yearning for the unknown, and to leave a legacy of embracing the biggest questions. Many worlds beckon us in the search for life. They include Mars, icy moons like Europa, and countless exoplanets. All are worthy of continued exploration. Today, I wish to share the story of a small moon of Saturn. Enceladus had flown under the radar until recently. It was indeed unknown for most of human history and essentially a dot until the Space Age. A fleeting flyby by Voyager 2 revealed an enigmatic surface, with regions that appeared to be unusually young. Some even suggested cryovolcanism. Through a time of austerity, NASA and ESA developed the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn. This was our first great expedition to the outer solar system of the 21st century. Cassini… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Johnson Hall (JHN). Campus room: 102. Accessibility Contact: sacaton@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars.

HLS26 | The Washington Prison History Project: Counter-Archives and Local Histories | Dan Berger

Prison is more than a place of punishment. It is also an archive. Yet the official story found in sentencing reports and conduct reviews is only part of the story. Incarcerated people generate a parallel counter-archive of resistance and transformation. The Washington Prison History Project is a multimedia digital effort to document this counter-archive at a local level. Across a series of publications, programs, and protests, incarcerated people have shown prison to be a central feature in the development of Washington and the country. An examination of this archive tells a different history of our state—and its possible futures. Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Kane Hall (KNE). Campus room: 130. Accessibility Contact: histmain@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars. Event sponsors: Department of History University of Washington Alumni Association.

Marie Huber | Postcolonial Skies: How African airlines shaped global mobilities

At the Jackson School, opportunities and events are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity. The ability to move around the world by plane is one we take for granted today. Yet, most of the world's population has never set foot on a plane. The tension between opportunity and constraint sits at the very core of the history of civil aviation: opening up the world for some, but barring or downgrading many from full connection. The book project "The Problem of Flying" takes on the history of mass air travel from one of its margins and explores how, after decolonisation, African airlines managed (or failed to) to break into a global market that was not designed for them to begin with. Based on several years of archival research in European, African and US-American archives, as well as a wide range of grey literature and published sources (trade journals, newspapers, memoirs etc.), I argue that my findings do not only fill gaps on Africa in aviation history and gaps on aviation in Af… Event interval: Single day event.

Public Lecture: Seeing Like a Merchant – Jews and Greeks from Ottoman to Greek Rule

Join us for a talk with Paris Papamichos Chronakis on his new book The Business of Transition – Jewish and Greek Merchants of Salonica from Ottoman to Greek Rule.  This event is co-sponsored by UW's Hellenic Studies Program. How did the cosmopolitan bourgeoisie of the Eastern Mediterranean navigate the transition from empire to nation-state in the early twentieth century? In this talk, Paris Papamichos Chronakis shows how the Jewish and Greek merchants of Salonica (present-day Thessaloniki) skillfully managed the tumultuous shift from Ottoman to Greek rule amidst rising ethnic tensions and heightened class conflict. Bringing their once powerful voices back into the historical narrative, he traces their entangled trajectories as businessmen, community members, and civic leaders to illustrate how the self-reinvention of a Jewish-led bourgeoisie made a city Greek. Salonica’s merchants were present in their own—and their city’s—remaking. Paris Papamichos Chronakis is Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Modern… Event interval: Single day event.

Picturing the Heavens: Étienne-Leopold Trouvelot’s Astronomical Drawings (2026 Kollar Lecturer Rachael Z. DeLue)

The UW School of Art + Art History + Design invite you to the 2026 Kollar Lecture with Dr. Rachael Ziady DeLue, Christopher Binyon Sarofim ’86 Professor in American Art at Princeton University. The lecture is on February 26, 6:00 pm at the Husky Union Building's Lyceum.  In this talk, Rachael Z. DeLue will share insights from her current research and teaching on the relationship between art and science in nineteenth-century Europe and North America, focusing on a suite of extraordinary chromolithographs created in the 1880s by the astronomer and illustrator Étienne-Leopold Trouvelot. Based on his work at the Harvard Observatory and the United States Naval Observatory, the chromolithographs represent the cross-pollination of art and science in an attempt to generate knowledge about astronomical phenomena that eluded perception and resisted visualization. Prof. DeLue will consider Trouvelot’s prints in relation to other such attempts on the part of fine artists and scientific illustrators to picture the celest… Event interval: Single day event.

Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company - Still/Here

Thirty years after its historic premiere, the groundbreaking dance theater work by Bill T. Jones returns to the stage. Created during the AIDS epidemic, Still/Here shatters boundaries between the personal and the political, exemplifying a form of dance theater that is uniquely American. At the heart of the piece are “survival workshops” Jones conducted with people living with life-threatening illnesses.

Course Accessibility Lunch & Learn - Building Space Together: Deaf Students and Hearing Allies in Academia

In academia, Deaf students are often expected to adapt to communication norms and environments designed around hearing people, which creates barriers that are treated as individual problems rather than structural ones. In this talk, Miya (hearing) and Sev (Deaf) reflect on what it means to build space together across differences: recognizing that Deaf students bring values, knowledge, and ways of learning that matter, listening instead of assuming, and treating obstacles as places where support and shared responsibility are needed. Over time, allyship becomes less about “helping” and more about mutual learning and co-creating better classrooms, research groups, and collaborations. Because no one succeeds in isolation, every role matters in building academic space: classmates, instructors, mentors, and coworkers. Event interval: Single day event.

We’ll kick off with a brief panel discussion from members of the UW community who have written op-eds, then we’ll discuss how you can do the same -- from identifying a timely hook, crafting a persuasive short piece, and navigating the submissions process. Come prepared to hear from colleagues, use resources, and participate in interactive exercises. The ambitious may leave with a draft op-ed and a concrete plan for submitting it.

Science in Medicine Lecture: Michael Bruchas, PhD

Wednesday, March 4 11 am - 12 pm Foege South (Genome Sciences) Auditorium 060 & Zoom Webinar Neural Codes of Arousal:  The Locus Coeruleus and Anxiety The locus coeruleus (LC) is a central neuromodulatory hub that produces a large majority of the brain’s norepinephrine (noradrenaline).  The LC is known to powerfully shapes arousal, stress responses, and adaptive behavior. Dysregulation of LC function has long been implicated in anxiety and trauma-related disorders, yet the circuit mechanisms by which LC activity produces distinct behavioral states have remained unclear. In this lecture, I will present a body of work from our laboratory over the past decade that reframes the LC not as a unitary arousal system, but as a structured network capable of encoding distinct arousal states through projection-specific activity patterns and local circuit modulation. I will discuss how peri-locus coeruleus (peri-LC) circuits gate LC output, biasing neural codes toward transient versus persistent arousal and shaping… Event interval: Single day event.

SHACS: Kelly C. Harris, PhD - Inhibition, Insulation, and Speech: the Role of GABA and Myelin in Auditory Plasticity

As the aging population grows, differences in speech perception among older adults cannot be explained by peripheral hearing loss alone. Central auditory changes play a critical role and may represent potential therapeutic targets. Integrating electrophysiologic, neuroimaging, and behavioral findings, I will discuss plasticity in the auditory system that emerges with aging and is modulated by peripheral deficits. Emphasis is placed on two key regulators of plasticity: inhibitory neurotransmission (GABA) and white matter microstructure (myelin). Age-related changes in GABA and myelin are shown to influence cortical timing, network integration, and cross-modal reorganization, with direct consequences for speech perception. Together, these findings highlight central neurochemical and structural factors that contribute to variability in auditory performance with age and underscore the importance of brain-based mechanisms in supporting speech perception in older listeners.     Kelly Harris is a Professor in the… Event interval: Single day event.

Sexuality & Queer Studies Lecture: "The Value Turn in Queer Theory" with Petrus Liu

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming Sexuality & Queer Studies lecture featuring Petrus Liu. Professor Liu will be presenting on 'The Value Turn in Queer Theory.' Please find the event details below: Description: In recent years, queer theorists have increasingly turned to value as an analytic for exploring marginalized bodies' structural relations to political and economic institutions. In this talk, Petrus Liu explores an unresolved tension between two contradictory accounts of value—a subjectivizing power that generates intelligible categories of personhood and an impersonal algorithm of capitalist accumulation and extraction. By tracing unexpected continuities between contemporary queer debates and Marx’s original reading of the value-form, this talk proposes a dialectical, historically grounded model of “queer value” for understanding how identities are shaped by systems of power and exchange. Bio: Petrus Liu is Professor of Chinese and Comparative Literature, and of Women’s, Gender, and… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Communications Building (CMU).

George H. Cady Endowed Lecture in Inorganic Chemistry: Prof. Hemamala Karunadasa

George H. Cady Endowed Lecture in Inorganic Chemistry "Single-Crystal Halide Perovskite Heterostructures" Professor Hemamala Karunadasa - Department of Chemistry, Stanford University Host: Douglas Reed Layered heterostructures, formed one monolayer at a time, can host exciting emergent properties at the interfaces where two monolayers meet. Although impressive advances have been made in controlling these exquisite architectures, these approaches do not readily afford inexpensive, scalable, and reproducible syntheses. This motivates the development of one-pot syntheses of heterostructures as crystalline solids, where the precise 3D atomic coordinates of the interfaces can be resolved through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. We recently reported a synthetic strategy for the self-assembly of layered perovskite–non-perovskite heterostructures into single crystals in solution, using organic molecules as structure-directing agents (Figure). I will present various layered heterostructures that form as an… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Johnson Hall (JHN). Campus room: JHN 075. Accessibility Contact: chem59x@uw.edu.
