This museum-wide exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor, exploitation, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal, oblique, or fantastical frameworks.

Mario Kratz, Ph.D.
Associate Member, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
This event will be held online via Zoom. The seminar will begin at 3:30 PM and you can attend via the following link: https://washington.zoom.us/s/715612603
In this presentation, Dr. Kratz will summarize the findings from a recently completed randomized controlled dietary intervention trial that compared the impact of diets limited in dairy foods vs. diets rich in low-fat or full-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese on glucose homeostasis. This was a 4-month trial in 72 men and women with the metabolic syndrome, motivated by consistent findings in observational studies suggesting that the consumption of dairy foods, particularly fermented dairy such as yogurt as well as dairy fat, is strongly associated with a lower incident type 2 diabetes.
Mario Kratz has Master’s and PhD degrees in Nutritional Science from the University of Bonn in Bonn, Germany. He currently is an Associate Member in the Public…

CSDE Seminar - Deep Fake in Geography? When Geospatial Data Encounter Artificial Intelligence (Bo Zhao)
Population Research Discovery Seminars
Deep Fake in Geography? When Geospatial Data Encounter Artificial Intelligence , Speaker: Bo Zhao, Department of Geography, University of Washington
The recent convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and GIScience has been hailed for its transformational capacity in intelligentizing geospatial technologies, and such capacity could also unintendedly or purposefully generate problematic geospatial data. The more recent emergence of “Deep Fake” - an especially controversial use of AI, although not widely applied in GIScience yet, has stimulated widespread attention to its severe social and political impacts. To explain how geospatial data can be affected by AI and to discuss the concomitant implications, this paper focuses on three geospatial spoofing cases: first, the game player trajectories generated by bot; second, the fake locational information spread out on twitter by its filtering algorithm; and third, simulated satellite imagery made by a deep learning…

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. WE'LL UPDATE SOON.
This conversation between Alys Weinbaum and Chandan Reddy draws out the political, philosophical and historical implications of Weinbaum's award winning book, The Afterlife of Reproductive Slavery: Biocapitalism and Black Feminism's Philosophy of History (Duke University Press, 2019).

Weinbaum outlines how the slave episteme shapes the practice of reproduction today, especially through the use of biotechnology and surrogacy. Engaging a broad set of texts from Toni Morrison's Beloved and Octavia Butler's…

Electronic Processes, Morphologies and Structural-functional Correlations in Conjugated Oligomers, Polymers and Perovskite for OPV/HOPV
Conjugated polymers with charge transfer characters in a large extend are responsible for the recent advancement in organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) devices. Conventional organic photovoltaic models, in which donor molecules are treated as anonymous electron sources and charge carrier diffusion channels, are challenged by near-infrared transient absorption results of low bandgap polymers indicating strong correlations between intramolecular donor dynamics in < 100 fs and corresponding device power conversion efficiencies. The other conventional model being challenged is the driving force for exciton splitting in the bulk heterojunction environment which has been described by the LUMO-LUMO energy off-set between conjugated polymer electron donor and fullerene derivative electron acceptor. Our study suggests the intramolecular charge trans…

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
Has American foreign policy been a reflection of a desire to promote democracy, or a simple product of hard-nosed geopolitics? In this talk, Jennifer Miller argues that democratic ideals were crucial, but not in the way most defenders claim. Focusing on the postwar occupation of Japan, she examines how the Cold War produced a new understanding of democracy as rooted in psychologies and mentalities. This vision motivated American efforts to democratize postwar Japan, yet also facilitated America’s rapprochement with the political and military leaders that once led Japan’s brutal war.
Jennifer M. Miller is an Assistant Professor of History at Dartmouth College. She received her MA and PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her BA from Wesleyan University. A scholar of U.S.-East Asian relations, she is the author of Cold War Democracy: The United States and Japan (Harvard University Press, 2019). Her other recent publications include “Let’s Not Be Laughed at…

Her talk "Vegan Studies: Teaching Equity, Justice and Sustainability through the Lens of Veganism" will discuss the emerging academic field of Vegan Studies–what is it, how might we situate it within current models of scholarship and activism, and how does it relate to issues of sustainability, ecofeminism and social justice? How might veganism serve as a potential basis for radical social resilience and coexistence on a planet in crisis?
This is part of the Sustainability Stories @ UW series, highlighting sustainability efforts happening across the University of Washington.
This series is part of the University of Washington's recognition of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day in 2020.

Energy Storage: Integration of Materials Chemistry, Electrochemistry and Engineering
Electrochemical energy storage has been a very hot topic in the last decade. Many efforts have been pursued in identifying new battery materials or technologies for a broad range of applications such as grid energy storage, vehicle electrification, mobile electronics and so on. This talk will highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research but also emphasize the urgent need to identify and address real challenges at relevant scales for battery systems. Three examples will be discussed: (1) Single crystal Ni-rich cathode for advanced Li-ion batteries, (2) next-generation of rechargeable lithium metal battery and (3) microbattery technologies for miniaturized sensors to encourage the integration of materials chemistry, electrochemistry and engineering to overcome the roadblocks for developing advanced battery technologies.

UW Friends of Chinese - Childhood Bilingualism and Biliteracy
Childhood Bilingualism and Biliteracy: What are the cognitive, linguistic, and education benefits?
Even though over 150 different languages are spoken in the United States, learning two languages simultaneously is not always viewed positively or well supported in our school systems. Yet, other parts of the world embrace the opportunities of bilingualism and biliteracy. Are there cognitive, linguistic, and educational benefits of childhood bilingualism and biliteracy based on current research evidence? If so, what are they? How can parents foster such skills? This talk will demystify childhood bilingualism and biliteracy, especially when the two languages are as disparate as English and Chinese.
All are welcome to attend, please register by sending your name, email, and phone number to: UWFriendsof Chinese@outlook.com.

This museum-wide exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor, exploitation, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal, oblique, or fantastical frameworks.

Join UW Botanic Gardens and Cascadia Forest Therapy for a unique forest bathing opportunity in the Washington Park Arboretum. Forest bathing (or shinrin-yoku) has been popular in Japan for decades and is gaining momentum in the US. The practice encourages you to walk in the forest at a slower pace and take in the atmosphere around you. Multiple scientific studies have shown that it lowers stress and blood pressure levels, while increasing immune system functioning, making you more resilient to diseases and illness.
These walks are slow-paced and generally cover less than a mile of trail. During this time 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.
Cost: $25

The recent crisis at the United States’ southern border has drawn much attention to the country’s long history of migration, racism, and incarceration.
This lecture with Udi Greenberg, associate professor of history at Dartmouth College, will seek to shed light on the role of international politics in the shaping of its policies.
In particular, it will explore the evolution of the theory of “militant democracy,” which emerged during the 1930s in Europe and became an important concept among many policymakers since. It will reflect on this theory’s impact, and some of its legacies in the twenty first century.”
About the speaker
Udi Greenberg is an associate professor of history at Dartmouth College. He’s the author of the prize-winning The Weimar Century: German Émigrés and the Ideological Foundations of the Cold War (Princeton, 2015), as well as many academic articles on European and international history. His essays have also appeared in Dissent, The New Republic, The Nation, and other venues.

Dr. Daniel Schwartz (George Washington University) will give a talk on the history of the word “ghetto” from 16th-century Venice until today.
About the talk
Few words are as ideologically charged as “ghetto.” Its early uses centered on two cities: Venice, the site of the first ghetto in Europe, established in 1516; and Rome, where the ghetto endured until 1870, decades after it had been dismantled elsewhere.
Over the nineteenth century, as Jews were emancipated and ghettos were dissolved, the word “ghetto” transcended its Italian roots and became a more general term for pre-modern Jewish life. It also came to designate new Jewish spaces — from voluntary immigrant neighborhoods like New York’s Lower East Side to the holding pens of Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe — as dissimilar from the pre-emancipation European ghettos as they were from each other.

This museum-wide exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The presenting artists approach the exhibition’s theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; the illumination of invisible or covert systems of labor, exploitation, and capitalist control; and translation through surreal, oblique, or fantastical frameworks.

The Era of Data-Driven Materials Innovation and Design
Fueled by our abilities to compute materials properties and characteristics orders of magnitude faster than they can be measured and recent advancements in harnessing literature data, we are entering the era of the fourth paradigm of science: data-driven materials design. The Materials Project (www.materialsproject.org) uses supercomputing together with state-of-the-art quantum mechanical theory to compute the properties of all known inorganic materials and beyond, design novel materials and offer the data for free to the community together with online analysis and design algorithms. The current release contains data derived from quantum mechanical calculations for over 120,000 materials and millions of properties. The resource supports a growing community of data-rich materials research, currently supporting over 130,000 registered users and over 2 million data records served each day through the API. The software infrastructure enables thousands of c…

A connoisseur’s group of intuitive playing and pure musical focus, the Hagen Quartet has been called “the pinnacle of musicality” (Die Presse). Founded in Salzburg in 1981, the quartet is comprised of three Hagen siblings — first violinist Lukas, violist Veronika and cellist Clemens — joined by second violinist Rainer Schmidt. For this extremely rare West Coast appearance, the Hagen Quartet performs quartets by Shostakovich and Mendelssohn, along with Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums), one of Puccini’s few non-operatic works, an emotional elegy written in a single night.
