Distinguished Lecture Series: Cynthia Dwork (Harvard) - Indistinguishability: The Stuff of Magic
CS theory has given us many magical concepts, such as zero-knowledge proofs, pseudo-randomness, privacy-preserving data analysis, and public-key cryptography. These, and many others, share a common thread: their very definitions are based on indistinguishability, a core concept in complexity theory. Indistinguishability is a form of impossibility: encryptions of zero cannot be distinguished from encryptions of one; outputs of an analysis operating on a dataset D cannot be distinguished from outputs of an analysis operating on D-without-Me (or D-without-You). It is remarkable that this negative notion has proven to be such a generous instrument of algorithmic power. We will survey several flavors of indistinguishability and some recent, novel, applications. BIO, Cynthia Dwork, Gordon McKay Professor of Computer Science at Harvard and affiliated faculty at Harvard Law School and Department of Statistics, is known for her foundational role in the invention and development of differential privacy, non-malleable…

Join the UW Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering for a research talk with Postdoctoral scholar Sharon Heung as part of the HCDE Research Speaker Series.
Towards Designing Safer Platforms: Understanding and Mitigating Ableism On Social Media
Building safer social media platforms starts with designing for those most at risk of harm. Disabled people represent one-sixth of the world’s population and are disproportionately likely to experience hate online, yet research on their experiences of ableism (disability-specific discrimination) remains limited. My dissertation addresses this gap by asking: how do disabled people experience ableism online, and how might we design AI-based approaches to mitigate the harm?
In this talk, I will present studies that follow a human-centered design process, first empirically understanding ableism online and then using those findings to inform new AI-based moderation approaches. I will begin with two studies on how disabled people experience ableist…

UNLOVED BUILDINGS
Transformation and reuse as the next shift in architecture
In a context of climate change, global destabilization, and mass urbanism, we can no longer afford to waste buildings. This presentation will trace the outlines of a movement challenging the 20th century idea that building new represents progress, to an understanding that we must tread more lightly on the planet and use existing urban fabric to create the built environment. This represents a fundamental shift, not just in technique or regulation, but in the ethos of a profession. Lasse will present the studios’ upcoming book ‘UNLOVED BUILDINGS’ as well as global case studies outlining a new architectural field.
Lasse Lind is the 2026 Scan Design Foundation Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Washington’s College of Built Environments. Lasse is a partner with 3XN GXN and leads the strategic sustainability consultancy GXN that specializes in building transformation, behavioral design and circularity.

Distinguished Lecture Series: Leo Porter (UC San Diego) - Empowering Faculty to Integrate GenAI into CS Education
Generative AI has substantially altered the professional craft of software engineering. For CS programs that seek to prepare the next generation of software engineers, course and curricular revisions are almost certainly necessary. Indeed, in this talk I will argue that curricular revisions are long overdue and, if done properly, can address multiple gaps in many existing CS curricula. As an example, I will focus on the CS1-LLM course we developed at UC San Diego. In designing the course, we updated our learning goals, course objectives, and assessment practices. Our studies of the course have shown that students can use GenAI tools to create software projects of personal interest while still learning programming fundamentals necessary for later courses.
Creating and studying such course revisions requires substantial effort and, importantly, we need to ensure that this effort isn’t borne by thousands of individual educators currently seeking guidance and support on how to proceed. As such, to broadly share…

Pseudoprofessional Advice: Misinformation, Professional Regulation, and the First Amendment
Please join the UW Law Interdisciplinary Health Law & Policy Program and the UW Center for an Informed Public for a presentation by Claudia Haupt of Northeastern School of Law,
Pseudoprofessional Advice: Misinformation, Professional Regulation, and the First Amendment.
Why are licensed professionals constrained in the advice they provide within professional relationships, yet free to offer potentially harmful advice to millions of people through social media, television, books, and advice columns? This gap stems from the structure of First Amendment doctrine: within the professional relationship, the First Amendment protects good advice, while outside that relationship, good and bad advice are generally treated equally.

Growing concerns about the health of America’s 250-year experiment in representative democracy should prompt us to think deeply about how civic belonging has been defined in U.S. society since the nation’s founding and what current efforts to restrict access and opportunities for civic participation mean for our collective futures. Civic Belonging in an Anti-Democratic Age brings together UW faculty whose teaching and research straddle law, politics, human rights, urban studies, and digital technologies for a lively interdisciplinary conversation about the stakes of belonging in U.S. society.

In Search of a Global Antiquity with Dr. Carlos Noreña
The Pre-Modern World History Lecture
Dr. Noreña sketches the contours of the “new” global antiquity and argues that this rapidly emerging field can and should be fully global in its coverage and institutional organization. In this lecture, he explores how we might bring both Africa and the Americas into an agenda for a global antiquity that has been limited, for the most part, to Eurasia, and considers some of the main challenges for this field, both epistemological and practical.
Carlos Noreña is Director of the Graduate Group in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology and Director of the new Berkeley Global Antiquity Project at the University of California, Berkeley. He has published widely in Roman history, literary and material cultures in the Roman empire, the topography of Rome, historical geography, and comparative empires.
This event is free and open to the public.

Drawing on Eric Hobsbawm's claim that “the imagined community of millions seems more real as a team of eleven named people,” this talk explores the power of sports teams. Using examples from post-apartheid South Africa and elsewhere, Jacobs asks: Can sports teams expand the boundaries of “the nation,” or can they really overcome xenophobia? Or does sport's celebrated power ultimately reveal the limits of nationalism and identity?

Distinguished Lecture Series: Léon Bottou (Flatiron Institute) - The Fiction Machine
Imagine a machine that can read a story and generate a meaningful continuation, that is, one that complies with the narrative demands of the story and makes sense to a meaningful fraction of the readers. Because what is true in the world of the story needs not be true in our world, this machine cannot be expected to say the truth. It only knows narrative necessity. This machine is of course an idealized model of modern AI systems, from language models and chatbots to movie generation. It is also an opportunity to formulate important questions and sometimes catch a glimpse of their answers. How can we define such a machine more rigorously? What can it compute? How does it compare to logic and mathematical reasoning? Can it be used to make inferences about our world even though its output is not constrained by what is true in our world? Such questions are not only relevant to artificial intelligence, but also useful to understand certain aspects of human intelligence and society.

What if designing for accessibility could help you create better products and stronger customer experiences? Join UW Professional & Continuing Education for a webinar led by Shomir Chaudhuri and Bryce Johnson that examines how inclusive design drives innovation.
Drawing on stories from accessibility, adaptive technology, customer empathy and product development, they'll explore how designing for human diversity sparks creativity, uncovers unmet needs and leads to better solutions. They'll also show why inclusive design is more than a compliance requirement. It's a powerful approach for expanding access and meeting the needs of a broader range of people.
Part of our Expert Insights webinar series, this hour-long session offers you the chance to gain insights from experts in the field and explore the role of inclusive design in driving innovation.
We'll send all registrants a recording of the webinar after the event. Please allow at least eight days for it to become available due to the holiday weekend.
