Public Lecture | Have You Heard? Black Buddhism Through the Lens of Tina Turner | Dr. Ralph H. Craig III
Join us for an afternoon lecture on May 4th in HUB 250 featuring Dr. Ralph H. Craig III on Black Buddhism Through the Lens of Tina Turner. A light reception will be provided.
Tina Turner's (1939–2023) successful recording career and electrifying stage performances earned her the moniker of “Queen of Rock and Roll.” At the same time, Turner was perhaps one of the most famous Black Buddhist celebrities. In this talk, I will highlight the ways that Turner's Buddhist practice combined her Afro-Protestant upbringing, the trans-Atlantic flow of metaphysical religious ideas, and SGI Nichiren Buddhism. The talk will show how Turner's combinatory religious sensibilities are indicative of trends in Black Buddhism.
, Ralph H. Craig III is an Assistant Professor of Religion at Whitman College. He is an interdisciplinary scholar of religion whose research focuses on South Asian Buddhism and American Buddhism. His first book, Dancing in My Dreams: A Spiritual Biography of Tina Turner (Eerdmans Publishing, 2023),…

P. C. Cross Endowed Lecture in Physical Chemistry: Prof. Maksym Kovalenko
P. C. Cross Endowed Lecture in Physical Chemistry
"Quantum light sources using colloidal perovskite quantum dots"
Professor Maksym Kovalenko - Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zurich
Host: David Ginger
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) - the latest generation of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) - are intrinsically bright emitters without the need for epitaxial wide-bandgap shells. In recent years, LHP NCs have emerged as the most intensively studied QD material, challenging the field's foundational paradigms in nearly every respect. They are the first QDs to exhibit excitonic coherence on timescales comparable to their radiative lifetimes (at cryogenic temperatures), thus setting the stage for their use as sources of indistinguishable photons. Their giant oscillator strength effect enables extremely fast emission (lifetimes as short as 60 ps) even in relatively large NCs, while maintaining single-photon emission. Periodic ensembles of LHP NCs have further demonstrated collective,…

The Way Lecture is celebrating its 19th year! Join us May 4th, 2026 for a talk by Tobias Harris, Founder and Principal of Japan Foresight LLC.
The foundation of the Abe consensus — the LDP, together with Komeito, governing with large, stable majorities to promote growth as part of the global economy and develop Japan’s military power and international partnerships under the aegis of US leadership — has crumbled after little more than a decade. The LDP has lost public trust, its relationship with Komeito, and its large majorities. The US is in retreat and no longer defending the international order from which Japan had benefited. This talk will look at how this order crumbled and where Japan’s politics goes from here.
Harris has observed Japan as a political risk analyst at Teneo Intelligence and as a researcher at universities and think tanks. He is also Senior Advisor for Japan at Aurora Macro Strategies. For two decades, he has written about Japan’s politics and the geopolitics of Asia for major world…

Abstract: When testing or implementing an intervention, it is important to ensure that the intervention is delivered as intended (i.e. intervention adherence), with adherence is an important part of intervention fidelity. However, training alone is typically not sufficient to support intervention adherence, particularly when the intervention has multiple components or needs to be tailored to the client or patient. We cover tradeoffs and decision-making around adherence support needed post-training, considering balancing resources and intervention complexity. We also cover models for evaluating intervention adherence, considering the balance of efficiency (ease of use) and effectiveness (rigor).
Shannon Dorsey, Ph.D. is Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington and Adjunct Professor in Global Health and Psychiatry. Her research focuses on treatment effectiveness and implementation science, specifically for children and adolescents receiving care in low…

While the best selection will remain available on Tuesdays, we're trying to empower more people to shop sustainably for furniture, office essentials, and more.
UW Surplus takes all unwanted items from all UW departments and medical facilities. Our objective is to reuse, repurpose, or recycle as many items as possible to lessen the University’s climate impact on both purchasing and disposal. Items are resold through a retail store and online auctions. We receive new inventory every day, so our stock is always changing. If you'd like to get a preview of new items, you can sign up for our newsletter.

How is food and nutrition security defined, measured, and funded in the United States—and how do those choices shape real‑world hunger and health?
This seminar explores the nation’s major nutrition assistance programs—SNAP, WIC, school meals, and the charitable food system.

“If we fight, we must fight against the North as well as the South, Abraham Lincoln as well as Jefferson Davis,” Frederick Douglass declared in May 1861, just a few weeks after the Civil War began. His statement suggests a very different Civil War than the we usually hear about, centered on Abraham Lincoln: a war for the Union giving way to a tentative emancipation within the bounds of the law, the constitution, and private property. Occluded in such conventional narratives are struggles over white supremacy, the extent of Black freedom, capitalism, and patriotic nationalism. We get an entirely different war – not just a different interpretation of that war -- if we center radical perspectives that aimed for freedoms anathema to Union and Confederacy alike. In this talk I will look at the Civil War as it was understood by Lucy Broaddus, a woman born into slavery in Missouri in 1862, Frederick Douglass, and Franz Sigel, a communist German refugee who served as a general in the Union Army. Each presents a…

Distinguished Lecture Series: Kevin Weil - Accelerating Science with AI
In just a few years, LLMs have gone from solving school-level problems to contributing to frontier mathematics, theoretical physics, and autonomous biological experimentation. I’ll share what that progress looks like, where it is already changing the pace of discovery, and what still separates today’s systems from the highest levels of scientific invention. The big idea is simple: AI will not replace scientists, but it will give them superpowers — accelerating the path from question to insight, and perhaps letting us do the science of 2050 in 2030 instead.
BIO
Kevin Weil is VP of OpenAI for Science, focused on building the next great scientific instrument: an AI-powered platform that accelerates scientific discovery. Previously, Kevin served as the Chief Product Officer at OpenAI, where he led the teams turning frontier models into products like ChatGPT, Codex, and the OpenAI API.
Before joining OpenAI, Kevin was the President, Product and Business at Planet Labs. He was previously the co-founder…

2026 Toni Rembe Lecture featuring Brian Soucek
Please join us for a lecture by Brian Soucek, the Martin Luther King Jr. Professor of Law at UC Davis School of Law. Soucek will be discussing his book, The Opinionated University.
Abstract
Institutional neutrality is sweeping the country. In recent years, over 150 universities have pledged — or have been required by law — to stay neutral on political and social controversies. But the neutrality they’re promising is just an illusion. Calls for institutional neutrality are just a distraction from important questions about what those institutions choose to value. Universities take stands not just in what they say, but even more importantly, in what they do. Their choices, for example, about whether or how to promote diversity, or how sharply to limit protest, are every bit as expressive of their institutional values as the statements that have received so much recent attention. These choices are unavoidable. They are at the center of the leading academic freedom and free speech controversies of the present…

Public Lecture | Artemis Leontis | Secrecy, Stutter, and Care: Eva Palmer’s Hidden Letters
Join us for an afternoon with scholar Artemis Leontis from the University of Michigan.
Hidden for decades in a locked cabinet at the Center for Asia Minor Studies in Athens, Eva Palmer Sikelianos’s love letters (1900-1910)—personal, creative, and revealing networks of desire and kinship—challenge expectations about what belongs in Greece’s archival record.
These scattered, stuttering papers sat uneasily within an institute dedicated to Orthodox Christian refugee history, raising new questions about whose lives and stories find a place in official memory.
What happens when a collection resists straightforward histories—when archiving itself becomes an act of negotiation, improvisation, and listening for what’s unsaid? What can these fragments teach us about the possibilities of cultural memory, and how listening to stutters and silences might open new ways of understanding the past?
In this talk, Leontis explores the process of archiving Palmer’s collection: the hurdles, improvisations, and acts of care…

Colloquium: Lean: Machine-Checked Mathematics and AI Collaboration
ABSTRACT
Lean is a proof assistant and programming language designed to make formal verification practical. In this talk, Leo will describe how Lean works, what it can do today, and where it is going. The core idea is simple: every mathematical claim and every program can be checked by a machine. This changes what collaboration looks like — between mathematicians, between engineers, and increasingly between humans and AI systems. The talk will cover recent work on proof automation and AI-assisted formalization, including experiments where multi-agent AI systems work autonomously on Lean tasks, as well as the Lean FRO, a nonprofit building Lean as long-term open infrastructure for mathematics and verified software. BIO
Leo is a Senior Principal Applied Scientist in the Automated Reasoning Group at AWS. In his spare time, he dedicates himself to serving as the Chief Architect of the Lean FRO, a non-profit organization that he proudly co-founded alongside Sebastian Ullrich. He is also honored to hold a position…

Why Attend? Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, notorious for its profound intratumoral heterogeneity and near-universal recurrence. While single-cell RNA sequencing has transformed our understanding of GBM cellular states, these approaches sacrifice the spatial context necessary to understand how distinct tumor cell populations are organized within the tissue and how the tumor actively remodels the surrounding brain.

Stroum Lectures 2026 with Rafael Neis: Did ‘Men’ and ‘Women’ Always Exist? What the Talmud Can Tell Us
Join us for the first lecture of the UW's annual Stroum Lectures in Jewish Studies. This year the series features University of Michigan scholar and artist Rafael Neis. Register Here. Registration Required. Lecture 1: Did ‘Men’ and ‘Women’ Always Exist? What the Talmud Can Tell Us
We often assume that the categories “man” and “woman” are timeless and self-evident. But what if they aren’t? In this talk, Professor Rafael Neis invites us to explore a surprising question: did “men” and “women,” as fixed and stable categories, always exist in the way we imagine them today? Turning to the Talmud, Neis shows how the rabbis wrestled with bodies, identity, and social roles in ways that don’t always fit neatly into modern assumptions. By setting aside what we think we already know about gender, we can discover fresh and unexpected ways of reading these ancient texts—and gain insight into how the rabbis themselves understood human difference. Along the way, Neis opens up intriguing new perspectives on rabbinic…

Food Banks in the U.S.: Roles, Limits, and Realities
Speaker:
Jen Muzia, executive director, Ballard Food Bank, This session is offered as part of the weekly series on: "Food and Nutrition Security: Understanding, Measuring and Reimagining Nutrition Assistance in the U.S." If you care about how food-related safety nets succeed—or fail—this seminar offers tools to understand today’s landscape and imagine a better one.
How is food and nutrition security defined, measured, and funded in the United States—and how do those choices shape real‑world hunger and health?
This seminar explores the nation’s major nutrition assistance programs—SNAP, WIC, school meals, and the charitable food system.

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.

Participate in this 'weed walk' and learn how to identify and gather some of the most common edible weeds and wild foods available in your garden and in other disturbed areas. Many gardeners are already recognizing many of the benefits of these 'interlopers.' However, when it comes to serving them up in the kitchen, few of us have learned to take full advantage of these labor-free gifts. This hands-on workshop at Discovery Park includes discussion on gathering ethics, local rules and regulations, safety, and general information about how to cook with weeds. Attendees receive a handy take-home flier with field identification information and cooking tips.

What Is Troubling Josephus in the Contra Apionem? Comparative Narrative Approaches to the Question of Antisemitism in Antiquity
Free and open to all. At the Jackson School, opportunities and events are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.
The term antisemitism continues to resist scholarly attempts to define or historicize it. Definitions of antisemitism are numerous, varied and at times conflicting. Similar conflicts of interpretation characterize scholarly attempts to define and historicize the categories of race and racism, particularly in historiographies of the premodern past. In this paper, I propose the utility of comparative narrative analysis as one mode of mitigating the problems of definition and translation that arise when considering the ancient past through the prism of modern categories. I then provide a case study by analyzing Josephus’s first-century Contra Apionem in light of certain narrative motifs that appear in racializing discourses circulating in nineteenth-century America. Comparative narrative analysis of Josephus's work illustrates that the author has a different set of…

Will green capitalism save us from the climate crisis? "Clean" technologies and renewable energy are certainly growing sites of capitalist investment, with government policies playing a key role in making these sectors profitable. But the supply chains that produce the technologies pose vexing dilemmas for the energy transition. These dilemmas are most dramatic at the extractive frontiers of green capitalism: where the natural resources needed to manufacture electric vehicles and build windmills are extracted. In this talk, Thea Riofrancos (Providence College) will unpack these challenges through the lens of lithium, a so-called "critical mineral" essential for its role in decarbonizing one of the most polluting sectors: transportation.
With forecasters predicting an enormous surge in lithium demand, exceeding existing supplies, Global North governments and downstream firms scramble to "secure" lithium, resulting in a new state-corporate alliance and the return of vertical integration. Meanwhile, Global Sou…

Join us in welcoming visiting author and scholar Jacob Daniels, discussing his new book, The Jews of Edirne: The End of the Ottoman Europe and the Arrival of Borders.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the city of Edirne was a bustling center linking Istanbul to Ottoman Europe. It was also the capital of Edirne Province—among the most religiously diverse regions of the Ottoman Empire. But by 1923, the city had become a Turkish border town, and the province had lost much of its non-Muslim population. With this book, Jacob Daniels explores how one of the world's largest Sephardi communities dealt with the encroachment of modern borders.
Jacob Daniels is Assistant Professor of Instruction and Assistant Director of the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. He received his Ph.D. in History at Stanford University in 2022.

UW Surplus Online Store
If you can't make it for the Tuesday Public Store, UW Surplus has you covered! Our online storefront features selected items added at 10:00 a.m. every Wednesday. Simply purchase online and pick up within a week - it couldn't be easier!
While the best selection will remain available on Tuesdays, we're trying to empower more people to shop sustainably for furniture, office essentials, and more.
UW Surplus takes all unwanted items from all UW departments and medical facilities. Our objective is to reuse, repurpose, or recycle as many items as possible to lessen the University’s climate impact on both purchasing and disposal. Items are resold through a retail store and online auctions. We receive new inventory every day, so our stock is always changing.
