Rhythm and timing are key aspects of social interaction. During early childhood, caregivers naturally engage young children through rhythmic infant-directed speech and song, modulating their communicative signal to match the needs of their developing child. Here we harness infant-directed singing as an ecologically valid platform for investigating mechanisms underlying early social interaction. We examine how components of the song signal -- such as its rhythmic predictability and multimodality -- modulate children’s social visual engagement across developmental stages and in relationship to child social communication status (e.g. autism). Study findings have implications for identifying the active ingredients of interventions to support child social interaction and communication.
Dr. Miriam Lense is an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Psychology and Psychology & Human Development at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.

Denim Day Fashion Show
SARVA and MESH

Dress in denim in solidarity with survivors and come see SARVA and MESH’s Denim Day Fashion Show! This annual day of action and awareness is an event in which people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence.
Denim Day was originally created in response to a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the survivor was wearing tight jeans, she must have helped her perpetrator remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. Women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans the following day in solidarity with the survivor. More info at https://denimday.org/ and https://www.peaceoverviolence.org/denim-day.

In “Letters from the Ancestors,” Prof. Connolly follows the experiences of four generations of his Caribbean family, offering an intimate view of the history of late capitalism in the Atlantic World. Under twentieth-century colonialism, he argues, working people developed uniquely gendered coping strategies for managing the precarities of racism and reputation. Even in apparently post-colonial times, these strategies continue to govern how we relate to institutions, set our aspirations, and even narrate our own personal and political histories. More than just a tour through a single family’s past experience, “Letter from the Ancestors" seeks to retain and advance our fluency in the history of colonized families. This history, Connolly suggests, seems all the more relevant today, in a nation and world of dwindling government protections for women and people of color. N. D. B. Connolly is Associate Professor of History and holder of the Herbert Baxter Adams Professorship at Johns Hopkins University. Prof.…

Social Media Regulation: European Approaches to Dangerous Online Content in International Perspective
Panel Discussion: How should governments think about and regulate social media content? | Open to the public
Every government in the world is grappling with questions about how and who should regulate social media content. Particularly in democracies, the challenge of balancing freedoms of expression and speech with countering the potential security risks of online content such as extremist content or harmful misinformation has become increasingly pressing. While each social media platform has its own internal content moderation policies, different countries have chosen different paths to deal with this problem. How should governments think about and regulate this content? The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) has come to be seen as a global model for regulating social media content. Speakers will discuss the DSA and contrast this approach with the US’s hands-off approach that is centered on Section 230 and the First Amendment.

Join us for a lively panel conversation exploring the evolving world of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and its vital role in academic research and digital scholarship. OCR—the process of converting scanned images of text into machine-readable data—underpins much of the digitized material scholars rely on today, from historical newspapers to multilingual archives. But how does OCR actually work, and what happens when it doesn’t?
This panel brings together researchers, developers, and theorists who use, create, and critically engage with OCR tools. Together, they’ll unpack the real-world implications of OCR for humanities research, including what works well, what remains frustratingly out of reach, and how language, character sets, and context affect outcomes. We’ll talk about what’s easy, what’s hard, and what questions we should ask—especially for those who rely on OCR-generated texts without even realizing it.

TALK | Co-Designing the Future of Cultural Heritage: Interactive Technologies and Museum Collaborations in Northern Europe by Siiri Paananen, University of Lapland (Finland)
About the Talk:
What does cultural heritage mean today, and how can we shape its future together? My research explores interactive technologies in collaboration with Nordic museums, including Indigenous Sámi institutions. It focuses on creating new ways to experience heritage while addressing ethical concerns. From photogrammetry for detailed 3D models to virtual experiences of remote sites, digital tools reshape how people relate to the past. Heritage is not only about the past but also about shaping the future, and arts-based and speculative design approaches explore new possibilities for this. The talk considers how design and technology can support diverse cultural perspectives and recontextualize heritage in a changing world.

Siiri Paananen is a University Teacher in Design and a doctoral researcher in the Lapland User Experience Design group (LUX) at the University of Lapland, Faculty of Art and Design. She specializes in Human-Computer Interaction, focusing on designing…

Splintered Intimacies: Work and Friendship in Karachi's Service Economy
Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info
This talk will draw on ethnographic fieldwork to explore the social lives of low-wage women workers in Karachi, Pakistan. Most women in stigmatized beauty salon and retail jobs are divorced, separated, unmarried or otherwise abandoned by the state and the family, and therefore, they turn to each other for social and economic support. However, status struggles in a heightened context of stigma splinter women’s emergent non-kin intimacies, which become marked by discourses of secrecy, competition, and suspicion. Labor control in the workplace and patriarchal control in the home additionally impinge upon women’s ability to forge meaningful relations. Consequently, women’s relations with each other are often truncated, antagonistic, and episodic, rather than solidaristic. Bringing together feminist framings of friendship with broader theories of worker solidarity, I argue that understanding how class-gender dynamics fracture this precarious social terrain is crucial…

John Jennings: The AfroFuture Now
Afrofuturism began as a concept coined by scholar Mark Dery in 1993. It was his way of grouping ideas regarding how Black people used the technology of stories to deal with racial oppression, disrupted history, and the challenge of moving into a positive future. In recent years, we have seen an explosion of interest from various fields around the critical making space that we call Afrofuturism. Black scholars and makers have taken this term and pushed it into places we never thought it would be. Black speculative fiction has moved from the fringes to the center. Mainstream institutions like Carnegie Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Lincoln Center, and The Smithsonian have all put a great deal of time, money and effort into lavish exhibitions and productions centered around Black creativity, politics and culture. In this lecture, John Jennings will explore the major themes in the Afrofuturism movement, track the timeline of its growth, and posit future possibilities around this vibrant and ever-changi…

From Surface to Depth: Abstraction as Inquiry and Expression, Overview:
In a creative landscape shaped by the demands of immediacy and the pulse of consumerism, where does the designer locate their voice? How does one transform the deeply personal into something resonant, universal, and enduring? This lecture (and corresponding weekend workshop) examines abstraction not merely as a visual technique but as a means of interrogating and refining the artist’s role in the dialogue between self and society.
Through an exploration of her large-scale oil painting series, Morphologies, the speaker will trace her evolving journey with abstraction, drawing connections between historical movements and contemporary practice. The lecture also examines how abstraction can inform and strengthen creative work across disciplines, positioning it as both a reflective tool and a mode of subtle resistance.
A brief review of major movements in the history of abstraction will situate this work within a broader cultural and…

A conversation with Hang Tu, Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore
How does emotion shape the landscape of public intellectual debate? In Sentimental Republic, Hang Tu proposes emotion as a new critical framework to approach a post-Mao cultural controversy. As it entered a period of market reform, China did not turn away from revolutionary sentiments. Rather, the post-Mao period experienced a surge of emotionally charged debates about red legacies, ranging from the anguished denunciations of Maoist violence to the elegiac remembrances of socialist egalitarianism.
Sentimental Republic chronicles forty years (1978–2018) of bitter cultural wars about the Maoist past. It analyzes how the four major intellectual clusters in contemporary China—liberals, the left, cultural conservatives, and nationalists—debated Mao’s revolutionary legacies in light of the postsocialist transition. Should the Chinese condemn revolutionary violence and “bid farewell to socialism”? Or would a…

Paul C. Cross Endowed Lecture in Physical Chemistry: Prof. David Hu
Paul C. Cross Endowed Lecture in Physical Chemistry, "Mosquitoes, earwax, and bird baths" Professor David Hu - School of Biological Sciences, Georgia Tech
Host: Sarah Keller
We show three recent experiments where we search for general principles in long-standing biological problems. First, we ask how mosquitoes target hosts for blood-feeding. We use 3D infrared cameras to track mosquito's flight. We use Bayesian inference to determine the mosquito's behavioral forces based on the direction, speed, and distance from the host. We then proceed into the mammal ear, where we find earwax has properties of both a fluid and a solid. These properties prevent the crawling and grooming of insects. Lastly, we discuss the mystery of bird-bathing, which may be involved in helping keep feathers fastened together.
Dr. David Hu is Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Biology and Adjunct Professor of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology. He earned degrees in mathematics and mechanical engineering from M.I.T.…

TALK | Finland: Scandinavian, Nordic, and Baltic Positioning by Sonya Amadae of the University of Helsinki (Finland)
About the Talk
How is it that Finland has ranked first on the World's Happiness Report for seven consecutive years? Although typically identified as either a Scandinavian or Nordic country, Finland has its own unique history, culture, and language. Historically, Finland was under the rule of both Sweden and Russia. Culturally, Finland looks West but has the longest NATO border with Russia. Linguistically, the Finnish language is Finno-Ugric, sharing a language group with Estonia and Hungary. This talk discusses Finland's unique cultural heritage and its contemporary expression as a new NATO member and an important collaborator with the Nordic Defense Cooperation (NORDEFCO).
About the Speaker

Her research focus is at the intersection of global political economy and international security studies and concentrates on existential risk and nuclear deterrence, as…

In an interview for the humanities magazine Callaloo, Etheridge Knight described the goal of the poetry he wrote while incarcerated as a method of meditating on "the subject of oppression." While critics have often argued that Knight renders that subject in masculinist ways, this capstone presentation argues that Knight's representations are much less tied to binary formations of sex and gender than might at first appear. Using Knight's poem as a central example, this presentation contends that this divergence from binary formations of sex and gender is more widespread in the genre of Prison Literature than has been previously considered.

Allen L. Edwards Psychology Lecture Series with Dr. Joerg T. Albert, Professor of Sensory Physiology & Behavior, University of Oldenburg, Germany
Perfect Distortions: What Mosquito Ears Can Tell Us About the Nonlinear Ways of Our Minds, Dr. Joerg T. Albert, Professor of Sensory Physiology & Behavior, University of Oldenburg, Germany
The title of this lecture is arguably misleading, probably deceptive. It suggests a straight line (but straight lines are tricks of light anyway) between its somewhat arcane content - i.e. the biophysics of hearing in mosquitoes and fruit flies - and its relevance to understanding our brains. Can this be true? Can any lecture live up to such hyperbole? In good dialectic tradition, I would try it first with a decided Yes and No, uncertain where that will take us.
But I do know where it will start. It will start with the common ground of all animal nervous systems. Conceptually speaking, nervous systems are information brokers, networks of multiple interconnected, multidirectional sender-receiver chains. The vast majority of nervous system activity originates from neurons. A couple of sensory neurons gather information…

This talk illuminates a history of belonging across boundaries that has been overshadowed by Eurocentric narratives of white colonial masters and native mistresses. Between 1840 and 1940, millions of people arrived in Burma, also known as Myanmar, from other parts of Asia, forging intimate connections with indigenous women and giving rise to Burmese Muslim, Sino-Burmese, Indo-Burmese, and other mixed communities with unruly ties and genealogies. Over the course of the twentieth century, these interAsian relationships became the target of political agitation, legislative activism, and collective violence aimed at subordinating minority Asians and regulating women’s rights. Out of these efforts emerged understandings of race, religion, and nation that continue to vex Burma and its neighbors today. Interweaving archival excavation, family history, and intergenerational storytelling, the talk highlights how people targeted by such movements made and remade their lives under the shifting circumstances of coloniali…

DIGITAL HUMANITIES LECTURE: Ryan Cordell - Bibliography & the Sociology of Large Language Models
Drawing on experiments from the Viral Texts project (https://viraltexts.org), this talk will reflect on the relationship between bibliography & AI in two directions. First, the talk will consider how bibliographic methods can help scholars, as D.F. McKenzie wrote of printed texts, "to describe not only the technical but the social processes" of AI models' "production and reception." The talk will argue that historical practices, such as reprinting in historical newspapers, can offer vital interpretive purchase for theorizing the dominant text-reuse technology of our moment. From here, the talk will describe a series of experiments aimed at understanding what analytical use LLMs might offer scholars researching in large-scale historical collections, for tasks such as genre classification, textual segmentation, or topic identification. Ryan Cordell (Information Sciences and English, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign). Cordell is co-PI of the Viral Texts project, which uses robust data mining tools to…
