Swim Parallel to the Shore: A Lecture Performance by Chloë Bass

Working from poet Tan Lin’s idea of “general feelings”—the notion that emotions are not our own (individually held or private) but shared as a kind of communal recipe—Chloë Bass will discuss the production of artistic work in the contemporary public realm using two conceits: First, what it means to think of objects through the scale of the human body, and thus as a stand-in for potential emotional action; and Second, what happens when we consider the presentation of static artworks as a form of rehearsal, which in turn provokes the co-creation of a world. Registration Required This talk complements GWSS x Henry student engagements around Bass’s public art project Soft Services (Field Trip on Oct 24; Student Workshop on Nov 4). Chloë Bass (b. 1984, New York, NY) is a multiform conceptual artist working in performance, situation, conversation, publication, and installation.

4th Sam Dubal Memorial Lecture: Tracie Canada, "How Black College Football Players Tackle their Everyday"

College football, with its prestige, drama, media, and money, is a core feature of the sporting landscape in the US. However, the promises of an “amateur” system that offers a “free” education contradict the reality.

In this talk, she highlights how she engages multiple audiences in her ethnographic writing, which details how Black college football players tackle the systems that structure their everyday lives, and who helps them do it. Tracie Canada is the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and director of the HEARTS (Health, Ethnography, and Race through Sports) Lab at Duke University.

SHACS: Litao Tao, PhD - Distal regulatory elements in inner ear development and deafness

Transcription enhancers are essential for dynamic expression regulation during development, and mutations in those distal elements can lead to diseases, including hereditary hearing loss. Due to the nature of distal elements and the paucity of cells in the inner ear, most enhancers driving cell type specific transcription in the inner ear have not yet been identified, let alone their regulatory functions. Leveraging new epigenetic analyzing techniques such as ATACseq, Cut&Run and Micro-C, we are able to overcome some of the barriers to profile the epigenomes and characterize distal enhancers in the inner ear. In this seminar, I will discuss our previous work on the role of enhancers in activating hair cell gene expression during differentiation and the epigenetic silencing mechanism underlying the loss of regeneration potential in surrounding supporting cells, as well as our current effort to annotate enhancers in the cochlea.   Litao Tao, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Sciences at the… Event interval: Single day event.

Distinguished Lecture Series: Hoifung Poon - Learning the Language of Patients: Multimodal Generative AI for Precision Health

Abstract The dream of precision health is to develop a data-driven, continuous learning system where new health information is instantly incorporated to optimize care delivery and accelerate biomedical discovery. The confluence of technological advances and social policies has led to rapid digitization of multimodal, longitudinal patient journeys, such as electronic health records (EHRs), imaging, and multiomics. Our overarching research agenda lies in advancing multimodal generative AI for precision health, where we harness real-world data to pretrain powerful multimodal patient embedding, which can serve as digital twins for patients. This enables us to synthesize multimodal, longitudinal information for millions of cancer patients, and apply the population-scale real-world evidence to advancing precision oncology in deep partnerships with real-world stakeholders such as large health systems and life sciences companies.

Acts of Seeing, Ways of Knowing: Visual Culture in the Making of Modern India.

"Acts of Seeing, Ways of Knowing refracts the 19th and 20th century history of India through reception of the first two ‘mass’ forms of visual culture, photography and posters (those with the capacity to produce multiple copies). India’s responses to a changing public world are revealed, intriguingly, through this visual-culture repertoire. Production and consumption of these material objects revolve especially around visual culture’s capacity to prompt and express identity - narratives that draw on the nexus of a dramatic expansion of consumption practices with individual efforts to construct meaning by collecting, displaying, designing, and interacting with mass-produced materials. They emerge as markers of those intending to be good, modern, citizens, who are drawn, significantly, from both middle- and lower-class/caste participants. It is an important aspect of such interactions that these visuals begin as ‘mass-produced’ items. Paradoxically, perhaps, this means that such items though in multiples, provi… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Thomson Hall (THO). Campus room: THO 317.

Seventh Seattle Symposium in Biostatistics - Online Short Courses

The role of causal inference in biomedical research: dare we speak of ‘effect’? The field of causal inference has seen a massive expansion in recent years and is now one of the most active areas of biostatistical research. The concepts and tools developed in causal inference are intended to support practitioners in their quest for evidence on causal relationships, often critical for scientific progress. While powerful, these tools can also be easily misunderstood or misused — this has made some biostatisticians and epidemiologists apprehensive of the growing prominence of the field. The symposium will address: how causal inference can be leveraged to inform the design and enhance the analysis of observational and randomized studies, including combinations of both; , how causal inference has stimulated the integration of machine learning into statistical inference; , how causal inference provides clarity on assumptions that suffice to infer causality from different study designs and informs strategies for… Event interval: Single day event.

View the live-stream here.  This year’s program critically examines the significance of the decision of the Spanish and Portuguese governments–exactly ten years ago in 2015–to offer citizenship to descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled five centuries ago. The discussion will situate Spain and Portugal’s offers within broader debates about the homelands that Sephardic Jews have claimed as their own over the generations, while also recognizing that millions of people in the world remain stateless today.    Isaac Alhadeff Professor in Sephardic Studies and program Chair, Devin E. Naar, will host Professor Emerita Rina… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Kane Hall (KNE). Campus room: Kane Hall 210. Accessibility Contact: jewishst@uw.edu.

Analytical Chemistry Seminar: Prof. Jessica Ray

"Novel, polymer-imprinted activated carbon media for selective adsorption of PFAS in wastewater." Assistant Professor Jessica Ray - Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Washington Host: Matthew Bush Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of over 9,000 different compounds with high thermal and chemical stability due to their C–F bonds. These toxic compounds have been used in many applications and in consumer-end products which has led to widespread dispersion in the environment—particularly in water sources. During water treatment, granular activated carbon is commonly used to separate PFAS from water. Granular activated carbons are sourced from coal and other materials, and thermally and chemically activated to generate a high surface area, high porosity adsorbent. However, granular activated carbon is a nonselective adsorbent with low removal efficiency for small PFAS. Furthermore, once the adsorbent is spent, it is either landfilled where loaded PFAS will be leac… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Bagley Hall (BAG). Campus room: BAG 261.

The Myth of Authenticity at Work: A Conversation with and for Public Health Students

Workplace dynamics in recent years have been a dizzying storm of broken promises. Companies that once encouraged employees to “come as you are” and bring your full, authentic self to work are now shutting down initiatives, part of an ongoing cycle of trading on our identities when it’s convenient and profitable.   Jodi-Ann Burey, writer and critic known for her TED talk “The Myth of Bringing Your Full, Authentic Self to Work,” delves into the dangers of disclosure in environments that aren’t built for our well-being. With insights from pop culture, academic research, and interviews with other professionals of color, Burey argues that we deserve better than shallow ploys for representation.

Film Screening and Discussion | Vietnamerica

Join the Center for Southeast Asia and Its Diasporas (CSEAD) and Graduate Education and Training in Southeast Asia (GETSEA) for a simulcast screening of Vietnamerica. Following the wars in Vietnam, over two million people fled to country with the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam. That exodus, referred to by many as “the boat people” resulted in nearly half dying while in flight, battling the elements, starvation, and pirates. Vietnamerica follows Master Nguyen Hoa as he returns to former refugee camps in Southeast Asia after three decades abroad to search for the graves of his wife and two children. Having fled Vietnam in 1981 on a boat with his family and friends, Hoa was the only survivor. Executive Producer Nancy Bui of the Vietnamese Heritage Foundation joins GETSEA and 25 universities across North America to watch Vietnamerica together simultaneously and connect via Zoom for a discussion with the filmmaker about the Vietnamese diaspora, their struggle, and how Master Hoa’s story is a prism to see… Event interval: Single day event.

Exquisite Corpus: A Practical Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Creative Expression

This workshop, led by Laura Luna Castillo (UW, DX Arts), merges computational linguistics and creative experimentation. We will use Python’s Natural Language Toolkit (NTLK) to analyze, deconstruct and algorithmically expand text corpora in a Dadaist spirit. Participants will be guided through hands-on code examples to learn techniques for data augmentation and synthetic data generation. We will explore grammatical patterns, linguistic visualizations and randomization as meaning-making tools that introduce surreal linguistic styles into a corpus, generating endless variations of source texts. This process provides insight into how Large Language Models learn and adapt to linguistic styles, albeit on a much larger scale. Time allowing, we will use our augmented corpus to fine-tune our own, rustic, language model. A laptop is required for this hands-on session. Event interval: Single day event.

Humanities Data Exploration Workshop Series: From Foundations to Practice - Workshop Two: Data Management for All of Us (In Person)

Data management isn't fun to think about -- it's at the intersection of the cliche "our world is run by data" and the nagging memory of a parent telling us to "clean up our room." The truth is, most of us work with information we care deeply about: spreadsheets of student grades, high-resolution scans of ancient calligraphy, library catalog searches, and scraped social media data. The truth also is: at some point, most of us will encounter challenges accessing, tracking, or preserving that information. This is where data management and versioning tools come in. In this one-hour workshop, we'll discuss some classic tools and where they might be useful, then get our hands dirty with Git as a concrete example. Participants should bring their personal computers, on which we'll install Git. The workshop will be followed by a 30-minute data management office hour session, during which participants can work through a beginner tutorial and ask questions about their own data needs. Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Suzzallo Library (SUZ). Campus room: Open Scholarship Commons Presentation Space. Accessibility Contact: aubreyjw@uw.edu. Event Types: Information Sessions. Target Audience: UW students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty and staff. Wednesday, November 19, 2025, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM.

Pilgrimage in Mexico: A Dynamic Tradition: a Talk by Edward Wright-Ríos

From a distance nearly all of us misunderstand pilgrimage. Influenced by movies, memoirs, and travel influencers we tend to think of the practice as a personal reboot, a self-imposed extended, sweaty therapy session that leads to the authentic and better self. Alternatively, we conjure notions of stoic devotees preserving ancient traditions. But in Mexico a small subset of Catholics numbering the millions embrace pilgrimage as a lifelong practice knit into the complexities of their hectic modern lives. Why and how do they sustain this mode to religious devotion at considerable cost and effort? Why does pilgrimage endure, and why is it experiencing something of a renaissance? Edward Wright-Rios (Professor of History, Vanderbilt University) will explore these questions in his talk. .

Art Fwd: Abigail DeVille, in conversation with Jordan Jones

Join artist Abigail DeVille and curator Jordan Jones for a public conversation centered on the artistic process of transmuting national myths and monuments into potent sites of public remembering, reckoning, and dreaming. Co-presented with the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, this conversation will address the role of historical research in DeVille’s object-based and performance practice, as well as her alchemical way of transforming found materials into psychically charged paintings, sculptures, and installations. The talk will explore how DeVille contends with the legacy of history, and the possibilities for telegraphing alternative worlds through the artistic imagination.
