Psychology Department Promotion Talk with Ariel Starr
This is a hybrid event.
Space for Thinking, Ariel Starr, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Washington
People from cultures around the world tend to borrow from the domain of space to represent abstract concepts. For example, in the domain of time, we use spatial metaphors (e.g. describing the future as being in front and the past behind), accompany our speech with spatial gestures (e.g. gesturing to the left to refer to a past event), and use external tools that project time onto a spatial reference frame (e.g. calendars). Importantly, these associations are also present in the way we think and reason about time, suggesting that space and time are also linked in the mind. In this talk, I will explore the developmental origins and functional implications of these types of cross-dimensional associations. To start, I will discuss the roles that language and culture play in shaping how children from diverse cultures represent time. Next, I will use memory as test cases for…

ESS Colloquium: Craig Martin (University of Texas at Austin) "Multi-stage India-Eurasia collision in the western Himalaya"
Keywords: field geology, geochronology, tectonics, orogenesis
Abstract: Constraining the age of collision between the Kohistan-Ladakh arc (KLA), an intra-oceanic arc remnant, and Eurasia along the Shyok suture zone is critical to understand the development of the India-Eurasia orogenic system. Estimates of the timing of KLA-Eurasia collision span 100 – 40 Ma, permitting conflicting tectonic scenarios in which the KLA either collided first with Eurasia or first with India. Each of these scenarios has very different implications for how India-Eurasia convergence was accomodated and the linkages between Himalayan orogenesis and global climate change in the Cenozoic. In this talk I will present field observations, structural analyses, and U/Pb zircon ages that constrain the tectonostratigraphy and structural development of the Shyok suture zone in Ladakh, NW India. These results support multi-stage arc-continent accretion models for the India-Eurasia collision because they show that KLA-Karakoram collision likel…

An Original Black Political Ideology': Martin Sostre and the Birth of Black Anarchism - Film screening and discussion with Garrett Felber
At the height of his prominence, revolutionary Black Puerto Rican anarchist Martin Sostre was one of the most identifiable political prisoners in the world. The decade-long campaign to "Free Martin Sostre" marked one of the most improbable, if since forgotten, victories of the Black Power era, alongside those of Huey Newton and Angela Davis. Although Sostre is a key progenitor of contemporary Black anarchism and abolitionism, his life and thought remains virtually unknown today.
What can the life of Martin Sostre, a former political prisoner and the progenitor of Black anarchism, tell us about our own fight against fascism? Please join us for a screening of Frame-Up! (1974, 30 minutes) and post-screening conversation with Garrett Felber about what we can learn from Sostre about prisons, the state, and revolutionary struggle today
Garrett Felber is an interdisciplinary historian whose work focuses on 20th-century social movements, the Black radical tradition, and the carceral state. His award-winning book…

Book Talk: North Korea’s Mundane Revolution with Andre Schmid
Join the Center for Korea Studies on Thursday, April 18 from 4:30 to 6pm in the Allen Auditorium as we welcome Professor Andre Schmid to discuss his latest monograph, North Korea’s Mundane Revolution: Socialist Living and the Rise of Kim Il Sung, 1953-1965.
When the crucial years after the Korean War are remembered today, histories about North Korea largely recount a grand epic of revolution centering on the ascent of Kim Il Sung to absolute power. Often overshadowed in this storyline, however, are the myriad ways the Korean population participated in party-state projects to rebuild their lives and country after the devastation of the war. North Korea's Mundane Revolution traces the origins of the country’s long-term durability in the questions that Korean women and men raised about the modern individual, housing, family life, and consumption. Using a wide range of overlooked sources, Andre Schmid examines the formation of a gendered socialist lifestyle in North Korea by focusing on the localized processes…

Bird Talk: Gardening for Birds
Cost: $25

REGISTER ONLINERecent data assembled by National Audubon Society and Cornel Lab or Ornithology has given us valuable insights about what we need to do to preserve nature, especially in light of global climate change - and you can help! We know now that in order to sustain bird species, we need to keep a focus on the pristine wild places of the world that are crucial breeding birds. But we have learned that is just as important to focus on the common birds that are so familiar to us. Almost all the birds we take for granted - the robins, jays, chickadees, sparrows, and finches, among other - are in severe decline all across the continent. This knowledge has prompted a new effort to keep common birds common. The good news is: now, more than ever before in our history - your backyard can make a valuable contribution to the survival of the birds we love.

The limited information we have about women and gender in the early modern period is almost always related by men through gendered discourses and only a few women are registered in biographical dictionaries. Among them, Mihri Hatun (d. circa 1512) was the first Ottoman woman whose poetry was collected during her lifetime and is still intact in four manuscript copies. The way she is registered in intellectual history vis-à-vis her own writing reveal not only her story in the male-dominated intellectual circles but also the performative nature of the intellectual world. Didem Havlioglu will discuss Mihri’s unapologetically marginal voice as a way to understand the physical and discursive contours of the Ottoman intellectual world.
Didem Havlioglu is an Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Asian and Middle Studies at Duke University and the author of Mihri Hatun: Performance, Gender-bending and Subversion in Ottoman Intellectual History (Syracuse, 2017) Her work is in the intersection of…

Forest Bathing (in-person)
Cost: $25
Advance registration required.
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 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.

Open Scholarship Commons Community Fellows Workshop Series: Accessibility of Online Data Visualizations
Online data visualizations are used widely by content creators to communicate information, enabling users to obtain summaries, recognize patterns, and explore oddities in data that may be challenging to determine from a data table. However, the defining visual nature of data visualizations makes these visualizations inaccessible to screen-reader users, significantly disenfranchising them from accessing online information (e.g. COVID-19 data). This workshop will facilitate an understanding of the challenges screen-reader users face with online data visualizations, identify ways to make online data visualizations accessible and understand the pros and cons of each, and share possible nuances and future avenues of thinking accessibility outside of the standard solutions.

'Genbaku Otome: Reconsidering the “Hiroshima Maidens”' with Kim Brandt, Columbia University
“Hiroshima Maidens” loosely translates genbaku otome, a phrase first used in early 1950s Japan to refer to young women who had been scarred by injuries received during the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Ten years later, 25 such women were flown to New York, where they underwent extensive reconstructive surgery. The “Maidens” received wide publicity in both the U.S. and Japan, where the story resonated with growing anxiety about nuclear weapons, along with public fascination with new forms of beauty culture and the seemingly limitless potential of postwar technology.

Annual SQS Certificate Lecture: "Sick of it All: Care & Depathologization Activism in Trans Health," presented by Chris Hanssmann
Please join us for a reception after the event from 4:30-6:00 in CMU 202/204. Speaker: Chris Hanssmann, University of California, Davis
Respondent: Oliver Rollins, UW Seattle Ethnic Studies
Trans depathologization has often centered around the claim, “We’re trans, we’re not sick.” However, activists’ efforts to push back against psychiatric diagnoses are increasingly being identified as ableist in their work to distinguish trans wellness and sanity from “true” forms of mental pathology. Given these critiques, what’s useful now about thinking with depathologization?
Rather than focusing solely on disavowals of disability, this talk examines depathologization as a more expansive set of phenomena. Drawing on ethnographic and document-based research in New York City and Buenos Aires between 2012-2018, it analyzes varying strands of trans depathologization activism, their specific objectives, and their dispersed effects.
Centering the activist-advanced desire for “care without pathology” the talk examines how…

FILM SCREENING | Chaityabhumi | Screening and Q&A with Director Somnath Waghamare
Chaityabhumi: Documentary Film Screening and Q&A with Director Somnath Waghamare, Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info
Join the South Asia Center for a screening of the documentary film Chaityabhumi (trailer) and a discussion with director Somnath Waghamare.
For the Dalit movement in India, one of the significant and important places is Chaityabhumi in Mumbai. The Dalit movement in Maharashtra has had a continuous and unbroken presence for 100 years now. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s anti-caste and Dalit human rights movement began in this land. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar himself stayed in Mumbai for most of his life, and when he died on December 6, 1956, his last rites were done near the sea at Dadar. His followers later built Chaityabhumi at that spot.
Every year 1 to 6 December, millions of Dalit-Bahujan across the nation visit this place and pay tribute to their revolutionary leader. But the city’s media and elite Mumbaikars only show disdain for this peaceful event. This documentary film will bring to…

Lab Med and Pathology Research & Discovery Seminar: Kurt Zimmerman, PhD - Using single cell omics to understand macrophage function in polycystic kidney disease
Using single cell omics to understand macrophage function in polycystic kidney disease
Kurt Zimmerman, PhD
Assistant Professor, Department of Internal Medicine
Division of Nephrology
University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
Why Attend this Seminar?
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is caused by genetic mutations in cilia related genes and results in large fluid filled cysts throughout the kidney, eventually resulting in end stage kidney disease. Over the last several years, data from our lab and others have shown that macrophages promote PKD. In this seminar, we will present new single cell RNA sequencing data showing that the phenotype (i.e. subsets) and function of macrophages in PKD is highly variable and depends on the rate of cyst progression. Further, we will present data challenging the paradigm that all macrophages promote cyst growth.

Archipelago of Resettlement: Theorizing Refugee-Indigenous Solidarities across the Refugee Settler Condition
Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi
From April to November 1975, the US military processed over 112,000 Vietnamese refugees on the unincorporated territory of Guam; from 1977 to 1979, the State of Israel granted asylum and citizenship to 366 non-Jewish Vietnamese refugees. In her book, Archipelago of Resettlement: Vietnamese Refugee Settlers and Decolonization across Guam and Israel-Palestine (University of California Press, 2022), Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi analyzes these two cases to theorize what she calls the refugee settler condition: the fraught positionality of refugee subjects whose resettlement in a settler colonial state is predicated on the unjust dispossession of an Indigenous population. In this talk, Gandhi will offer tools for imagining emergent forms of decolonial solidarity between refugee settlers and Indigenous peoples.

Living Quarters: Gender, Slavery, and Private Life in the Early Black Atlantic | Jennifer L. Morgan (NYU)
The 2024 Stephanie M.H. Camp Memorial Lecture by Jennifer L. Morgan (NYU) explores the connections between domestic space, the idea of privacy, and the presence of enslaved women in the early modern world. Drawing on court cases, legislation, and the growth of slavery, Morgan revisits questions of the public/private divide initially raised by an earlier generation of women's historians to consider the impact of slavery in the early modern period upon the development of racially marked notions of private life.
Jennifer L. Morgan is Professor of History in the department of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University.
She is the author of the Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic (Duke University Press, 2021) which won the Mary Nickliss Prize in Women’s and/or Gender History from the Organization of American Historians and the Frederick Douglass Prize awarded by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale…

Dr. Yvette Pearson: Leading Change
There is a well-known saying, “The only constant in life is change.” Yet, when it comes to higher education, particularly in some areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), it is hard to move beyond “the way we’ve always done it.” It seems oxymoronic – disciplines known and respected for creativity, innovation, and discovery are stagnated when it comes to change in how we solve problems and in who gets to engage in problem-solving. Building on her concept of ENGINEERING CH∆NGE® Dr. Pearson will share challenges that come with change and insights on navigating those challenges through intentional, iterative, people-centered strategies.

'Escaping the Highway to Hell: Death, the Afterlife, and Buddhist Practice in Premodern Japan' with Miriam Chusid, University of Washington
Join us for the 2024 Griffith and Patricia Way Lecture.
What was the moment of death supposed to look like for people living in premodern Japan? While most people surely envisioned seeing the Buddha and his retinue descend at this crucial juncture, many more were undoubtedly anxious about the feasibility of achieving this goal in increasingly difficult times. What if, despite one’s best intentions, one still fell into hell? Or, what if one’s gender precluded the possibility of salvation at the time of death altogether? This talk interrogates two sets of fourteenth-century hell paintings owned by the temples Gokurakuji in Hyōgo Prefecture and Konkaikōmyōji in Kyoto, which both posit the possibility of early escape from the infernal realms, albeit in seemingly contradictory ways. By examining the various Buddhist narrative tales (setsuwa) embedded in both of these paintings, this talk will uncover the ways people in premodern Japan transformed hell from a place solely retributive in nature into one that had…

Navigating the Personal Side of Retirement
Whether you are considering retirement, on the verge or already retired, considering how to approach and live within this important life transition is critical. The act of retirement opens the space and time to focus on what interests you, something you are curious about or something you left behind and can now revisit. It can also be a time of confusion and questioning. Navigating a successful and joyful retirement requires some thought and an openness to the possibilities.
In this two-part workshop led by Susan Terry we will explore the themes to consider in approaching or actively “sitting in” the experience of retirement, such as: Phases of retirement , Power of Purpose/purpose , How to explore and determine what’s next , Connection and community building, AND, more… We point the way with resources, insights, and curiosity, and you reinvent.

Thomas Schelling, the United States, and China’s Rise
Thomas J. Christensen
James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations
School of International and Public Affairs
Columbia University
Thomas Schelling’s theoretical work on coercive diplomacy carries important lessons for U.S. security policy toward a rising China. This talk will address the challenges in combining credible threats and credible assurances in deterring a PRC military attack on Taiwan and the need to differentiate clearly between unconditional restrictions on the transfer of militarily relevant technology to China and conditional threats to punish China economically if Beijing adopts certain proscribed policies.

Anton Hur, "Translator Jetlag: Voice and the World We Build" |Translator's Lecture
What do we mean when we say a character or an author—or even a translator—has a “voice”? What is the difference between a work of prose that has a voice and one that doesn’t? And how do translators bring a “voice” to life? In this talk, Anton Hur will examine the idea of voice in literary translation. He will focus on the practice of “triangulation,” or the zeroing in on a narrative voice, and “translator jetlag,” or the tendency for translators to require periods of adjustment between book-length projects defined by different narrative voices.
Anton Hur is the author of Toward Eternity and No One Told Me Not To. He is a prolific translator of numerous books, including the bestseller by and about the Korean boy band BTS. His translation of Bora Chung’s Cursed Bunny was shortlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize and the 2023 National Book Award for Translated Literature.
Anton Hur's work will be available through Third Place Books, which has a comprehensive selection of Anton Hur’s translations…

TALK | Negotiating the 'Geo' of Cold War Geopolitics: Mexican Earth Scientists and Seismological Practice During the International Geophysical Year (1957-58)
There will be a pre-circulated paper for this event, so attendees should RSVP via email to vfreije@uw.edu to receive a copy.
Many histories of Cold War science assume bipolarity as the most salient dynamic, organizing international scientific practices and projects into one of the world’s two core blocs. Such Cold War historiography overlooks collaboration across Cold War fractures, the practices of unaligned scientists, or the possibility of a multipolar Cold War. The International Geophysical Year (1957-58)–in which 67 countries across 14 disciplines collaborated to study the earth–is a moment whose complexity requires analysis that exceeds dominant Cold War historicizations. Geophysical researchers needed to negotiate science’s demand for universal knowledge within a world structured by the Cold War’s demand for geopolitical alliances. Mexico, with its long seismologic tradition and non-interventionist foreign policy, offers a unique vantage point from which to examine this moment in the history of earth…

LECTURE | Divya Cherian (Princeton University) | Merchants of Virtue: Hindus, Muslims, and Untouchables in Eighteenth-Century South Asia
Merchants of Virtue: Hindus, Muslims, and Untouchables in Eighteenth-Century South Asia
Lecture from Divya Cherian (Princeton University)
Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info
What did it mean to be Hindu in pre-colonial India? Through a discussion of everyday life and local politics in the kingdom of Marwar in the eighteenth century, this presentation will show that an alliance between existing landed elites and a newly ascendant mercantile class remade the category “Hindu.” A key element of this new articulation of an early modern Hindu identity were vegetarianism and an embrace of non-harm (ahimsa). Based on extensive research into the administrative records of the region, this presentation will show how political mobilizations of the ethical ideal of non-harm as the pre-colonial era came to a close fashioned not just a new Hindu identity but also a more starkly defined “Untouchable.” This research challenges the projection of dyadic conceptions of Hindu and Muslim onto the pre-colonial past and…
