Fernando Pezzino explores how we construct identity and meaning as we navigate the overlapping landscapes of the physical and virtual worlds . Through fragmentation\, layering\, repetition and abstraction\, he tran sforms familiar images\, language\, numbers\, codes and everyday material s into complex fields of connection and disruption.
"Diagnóstico s" presents a selection of works developed over the past five years\, tra cing Pezzino's ongoing exploration of identity\, technology and the shift ing relationship between both worlds' experience. In this body of work\, technology and information shape how we perceive ourselves and one anothe r\, while familiar forms become fragmented\, layered and reconfigured\, s uggesting identities and realities that are continually constructed\, med iated and transformed. In his work\, Pezzino highlights the tensions betw een connection and separation\, presence and absence\, and the individual and the collective\, while reflecting on our changing relationship to th e world around us.
Through scale\, color\, light\, texture and ma rk-making\, Pezzino transforms the image into a physical and psychologica l encounter with the viewer. The viewer becomes part of this process\, na vigating between recognition and uncertainty and assembling connections a mong the fragments. His work invites the viewer to reflect on the shiftin g boundaries between the real and the constructed\, the individual and th e collective\, and the physical and virtual worlds we inhabit.

2026 to March 5\, 2027 In addition to the physical exhibit\, a bilingual digital exhibit
and a digitized collection of materials from
Brown's Birri archive are also available.. Featuring a selec
tion of drawings\, paintings\, collages\, and writings from the personal archive
Birri gifted to Brown University Library in 2008\, the exhibition reveals
how he used art as a means of reflection and reinvention in response to
exile\, identity\, and the cultural and political urgencies of his time.
The physical exhibition presents a small selection of materials featured
in the accompanying digital exhibition\, which is fully accessible in both Engli
sh and Spanish. Together\, these mater
ials offer new insight into Birri's expansive artistic practice and his e
nduring commitment to experimentation\, self-discovery\, and transformati
on. The selection of works featured
in this exhibit is drawn from the Fernando Birri Archive of Multimedia Arts 1925
2010\, donated by the artist to Brown University Library in 20
08 and accessible at the John Hay Library. \; A Pictorial Dra
gon: The Work of Fernando Birri was made possible through the genero
us support of the Center for La
tin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS)\, in partnership with the
Brown University Library\, whose combined funding and staff contributions
were essential to the project. \n patricia_figueroa@brown.edu\n \n The exhibit A Pictorial Dragon: The Art of
Fernando Birri is on view in the Harriette Hemmasi Exhibition Galle
ry at the John Hay Library at Brown University\, and online through a dig
ital exhibition. The exhibit celebrates the centennial of Fernando Birri
(1925–2017)\, the pioneering Argentine filmmaker\, artist\, and theoris
t of the New Latin American Cinema.\n The John Carter Brown Library is please
d to announce a year-long exhibition titled "1776 Across the Americas: A
Hemispheric History from the Collections of the John Carter Brown Library
." The exhibition is now on display in the Bromsen Room at the Li
brary and is open to the public during regular Reading Room hours. The Jo
hn Carter Brown Library's Reading Room is open Monday through Thursday fr
om 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.\, and Friday from 1
0 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Curated by Beatrice and Julio Mario Santo Do
mingo Director and Librarian Karin Wulf and JCB 2026 Pos
tdoc Program Coordinator Kathleen Telling\, the exhibiti
on is part of the initiative 2026 and Beyond at the JCB\, which focuses o
n three major themes that reflect the deep strength of the Library's coll
ections and research and reveal the fullest and most consequential histor
ies of the early Americas: Foundations of Revolution: The Democratic Revo
lutions of the Early Americas\; Foundations of Democracy: Freedom of Reli
gion and Conscience\; Foundations of Historical Knowledge: How Libraries
Make History. In regard to the exhibition\, the curators explain
that\, "The John Carter Brown Library's collections cannot represent a co
mprehensive or holistic perspective on 1776 in any one place\, not least
the full hemisphere. But the collections of the JCB provide a unique vant
age on how largely printed materials– from books and pamphlets to broad
sides and maps– were produced in that year and reflected diverse experi
ences.Throughout this exhibit\, items of intimate and local consequence a
re juxtaposed with those of imperial\, national and international signifi
cance and tell the story of 1776 across the Americas through our remarkab
le collections." The exhibition opened on January 30\, 2026 and w
ill remain open until the end of the calendar year. We very much hope tha
t you will view it either in person or online when the digital version be
comes available! For more information\, visit us at jcblibrary.org. jcb-events@brown.edu This session will teach the basics of c
reating\, editing\, and routing a Funding Proposal in the Huron system. P
articipants will learn how to initiate a new Funding Proposal record\, ad

flow between the department and central office\, finally ending with how
the proposal is submitted to the sponsor. If you have a Funding P

ealth in the Age of Social Media and Artificial Intelligence \n dphb@brown.edu\n This semester\, the New University in Exile Consortium is offeri
ng 9 Co-Led Online Seminars which are FREE and open to anyone anywhe
re in the world. Taught by two endangered scholars – one who is hosted
by a Consortium member institution\, and the other a colleague of their c
hoice - the seminars are designed to reconnect endangered scholars with t
he academic community they have lost while in exile\, and provide learnin
g opportunities that would not otherwise be available. In the mod
ern Muslim world\, many states emerging from conflict or shaped by author
itarian legacies sustain power through centralized systems of coercive go
vernance. These regimes often justify their authority through claims of r
eligious legitimacy\, national security\, or social order\; narratives en
forced by militaries\, intelligence agencies\, and police forces. Yet dis
sent persists in diverse forms\; from civic activism and religious moveme
nts to transnational advocacy for human rights and justice. Women play a
critical role in these struggles: as activists\, scholars\, and community
leaders\, they challenge both state repression and patriarchal interpret
ations of religion and law. This course explores how women resist coerciv
e systems of governance and security\, and how law\, religion\, and legit
imacy intersect in these struggles. Drawing on political science\, femini
st theory\, Islamic legal thought\, and human rights scholarship\, it exa
mines how coercive institutions justify and sustain authority\; how Islam
ic legal\, ethical\, and philosophical traditions are mobilized or contes
ted\; and how international norms\, local moral orders\, and transnationa
l feminist movements interact in shaping political opposition\, reform\,
and agency. Case studies focus on Afghanistan\, Iran\, Saudi Arabia\, and
Yemen. This event is online: https://newuniversityinexileconsortiu
m.org/updates/women-and-the-politics-of-resistance/ Nico Voigtländer will be presenting at
the Political Economy seminar on 11/4. \; We investigate whether individual polit
icians can help reduce emotionality and polarization in parliamentary deb
ates. Focusing on the French Third Republic (1880–1914)\, we study Memb
ers of Parliament (MPs) educated in Jesuit schools (collèges) – instit
utions combining religious formation with rigorous scientific\, philosoph
ical\, and rhetorical training. Using newly digitized data on Jesuit scho
ol enrollments and over one million parliamentary speeches\, we identify
Jesuiteducated MPs (JeMPs) and analyze their linguistic and behavioral pa
tterns through text embeddings and large language models. We find that Je
MPs systematically employed less emotional and less polarized rhetoric\,
emphasizing reason and science in their arguments. They also engaged more
directly with preceding speeches\, as reflected in greater lexical overl
ap. We then examine the dynamics within parliamentary debates\, where the
order of speakers was by and large pre-assigned. Even after controlling
for speaker discussion fixed effects\, we find that JeMP interventions re
duced subsequent speakers' emotionality and polarization. These effects w
ere particularly pronounced during the contentious 1905 Separation of Chu
rch and State Law. To read the paper contact: ppe@brown.edu A.I.-assisted computer programming has

edu Brianna Fernandez (Brown DEEPS) – Modeling coupled fluvial-aeolian dynamics on Earth and Titan The Department of Sociology's Fall Coll
oquia Series presents Steven Epstein. "The Crisis of Expertis
e Revisited: How Lay Experts are Transforming the Politics of Knowledge a
nd Authority." Abstract: It has become common
to speak of the "crisis" of expertise and to link the phenomenon of grow
ing distrust of experts with declining confidence in authorities of all s
orts. To better understand and evaluate these perceptions of crisis\, I f
ocus attention on an underlying shift in the politics of knowledge and au
thority in the United States in recent decades that has transformed what
it means to be an expert and who can plausibly serve as one: the rise to
prominence of hybrid forms of "lay expertise." By considering examples es
pecially in the domain of health—including challenges posed by knowledg
e-empowered social movements—I seek to provide a somewhat more hopeful
account of the crisis of expertise: one that recognizes the risks of popu
list dismissal of experts but also emphasizes the potential virtues of de
mocratic challenges to traditional expertise in the service of epistemic
justice. \; Bio: Steven Epstein is Pr
ofessor of Sociology and John C. Shaffer Professor in the Humanities at N
orthwestern University. His research and teaching examine the contested p
roduction of expert and especially biomedical knowledge\, with an emphasi
s on the interplay of social movements\, experts\, and health institution
s\, and with a focus on the politics of sexuality\, gender\, and race. Hi
s award-winning books include Impure Science: AIDS\, Activism\, and the P
olitics of Knowledge (1996)\, Inclusion: The Politics of Difference in Me
dical Research (2007)\, and The Quest for Sexual Health: How an Elusive I
deal Has Transformed Science\, Politics\, and Everyday Life (2022). \n Department of Sociology David Heath Many secure system
s—secure processors\, encrypted databases\, private cloud storage\, pri
vacy-preserving protocols—involve a client offloading its memory to an
untrusted storage. While encryption may be used to hide the content of th
e client's memory\, the client's access pattern also leaks information. O
blivious RAM is a well-studied and powerful cryptographic primitive ensur
es that no information is leaked to the untrusted storage (beyond the num
ber of accesses). Roughly\, ORAM is a compiler that randomizes and obfusc
ates the client's memory access pattern. ORAM's power is that it
is general—an ORAM compiler works for any client program—but that gen
erality comes at a cost: there are known lower bounds against generic ORA
M\, preventing us from further asymptotically improving the primitive. In this talk\, I will present a route to circumventing inherent dif
ficulty of ORAM. In particular\, rather than designing a compiler that wo
rks for any client program\, we can instead focus on a large class of pro
grams. We identify classes of programs with enough structure that they ca
n be computed obliviously at lower cost\, and design techniques tailored
to that structure. The resulting asymptotic improvements cover a surprisi
ngly broad range of non-trivial programs\; I will present techniques for
graph traversals\, string searches\, range queries\, and more. Th
e unifying observation is a computational-model one: pointer machines and
purely functional programs are strictly less expressive than RAM\, yet e
xpressive enough for many settings\, and restricting attention to them ma
kes oblivious computation asymptotically cheaper than a RAM-based formula
tion of the same task. Bio: David Heath is an assistant professor
in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science at the University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His research is in cryptography\, focusing on
the design and analysis of cryptographic protocols and algorithms\, espec
ially in secure multiparty computation (MPC)\, oblivious data structures
and algorithms\, and zero-knowledge proofs. Hosted by: Professor

rs a sweeping\, on-the-ground analysis of how China is reshaping Latin Am
erica and the Caribbean across trade\, technology\, security\, and geopol
itics–revealing growing strategic competition in the Western Hemisphere
. Drawing on original research\, fieldwork\, and policy experienc
e\, the book moves beyond simplistic "China threat" or "White Knight" dev
elopment partner narratives to uncover a far more complex reality. It exa
mines China's effort to establish "strategic support points" via ports an
d the Panama Canal\, digital infrastructure\, space cooperation\, critica
l minerals\, and security partnerships\, while also exposing the darker u
ndercurrents of transnational crime and illicit finance. It also highligh
ts the region as a key diplomatic battleground between China and Taiwan.
Grounded in international relations and dependency theories\, the book hi
ghlights how Beijing increasingly blends economic engagement with strateg
ic ambition\, even as Latin American and Caribbean countries exercise age
ncy—balancing China\, the United States\, and their own development goa
ls The result is a nuanced\, data-driven framework for understanding powe
r\, dependency\, and sovereignty in a rapidly evolving region. Th

hn Carter Brown Library's Reading Room is open Monday through Thursday fr
om 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.\, and Friday from 1

mingo Director and Librarian Karin Wulf and JCB 2026 Pos
tdoc Program Coordinator Kathleen Telling\, the exhibiti
on is part of the initiative 2026 and Beyond at the JCB\, which focuses o
n three major themes that reflect the deep strength of the Library's coll

ies of the early Americas: Foundations of Revolution: The Democratic Revo
lutions of the Early Americas\; Foundations of Democracy: Freedom of Reli
gion and Conscience\; Foundations of Historical Knowledge: How Libraries
Make History. In regard to the exhibition\, the curators explain
that\, "The John Carter Brown Library's collections cannot represent a co
mprehensive or holistic perspective on 1776 in any one place\, not least
the full hemisphere. But the collections of the JCB provide a unique vant
age on how largely printed materials– from books and pamphlets to broad
sides and maps– were produced in that year and reflected diverse experi
ences.Throughout this exhibit\, items of intimate and local consequence a
re juxtaposed with those of imperial\, national and international signifi
cance and tell the story of 1776 across the Americas through our remarkab
le collections." The exhibition opened on January 30\, 2026 and w

postwar Europe\, where CIA officers recruited their first Ukrainian agent
s\, it follows generations of rebels\, exiles\, traitors\, and covert ope
ratives through decades of clandestine missions. Although nearly all of t
he guerrilla warriors that the CIA sent into Ukraine were captured or kil
led\, it never gave up. From the late 1940s through the end of the Cold W
ar\, American leaders saw Ukrainians as their most effective weapon again
st Moscow. They continued to press that strategy after Ukraine's independ
ence and the eastward expansion of the US-dominated NATO alliance. Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign
correspondent who has covered more than 50 countries on five continents.
His articles and books have led the Washington Post to place him "among
the best in popular foreign policy storytelling." \; Kinzer spent mor

ments with form through photography\, architecture\, and books to create
exhibitions. Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc
es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into
an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to
exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W
ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio
n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc
eptual process. Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc
luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi
le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L
etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\
, sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery.
While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t
hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders
to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast
ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune
s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and
those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio
n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati
onship to institutional spaces and our role within them? — Cura

he academic community they have lost while in exile\, and provide learnin
g opportunities that would not otherwise be available. Research i
n conflict and humanitarian settings is often seen as a technical task fo
cused on data collection under tough circumstances. However\, this course
argues that such research is inherently political\, relational\, and eth
ically debated. Main methodologies in International Relations\, humanitar
ian policy\, and global health favor technocratic\, quantitative\, and ne
utral knowledge\, often marginalizing local insights\, concealing violenc
e and abandonment\, and maintaining colonial and geopolitical hierarchies
. This course responds to interdisciplinary debates on feminist\, decolon
ial\, ethical\, and political approaches to evidence. It provides student
s with methodological tools based on both academic theory and the realiti
es of conflict and displacement. Emphasizing interdisciplinary methods\,
it aims to connect debates across International Relations\, anthropology\
, global health\, and humanitarian fields. It also seeks to decolonize re
search practices and highlight the experiences of communities affected by
conflict. This event is online: https://newuniversityinexileconsor

s &\; Innovation Seminar Series featuring Marcell Howard\, Brown Unive
rsity Title: Gravitational Particle Product
ion and Parametric Resonance of Self-Interacting Dark Matter Abstract: \; The lack of dire
ct detections for weakly interacting massive particles has led theorists
to think about more exotic scenarios for producing dark matter in the ear
ly Universe. One viable alternative is gravitational particle production\
, i.e. the creation of particles due to the presence of a sufficiently st
rong gravitational field. Previous studies have shown that gravitational
production of a light\, minimally-coupled scalar field initially prepared
in the Bunch-Davies vacuum can make up 100% of the dark matter\, provide
d their mass was near the QCD axion mass. In this work\, we extend that p
revious analysis to include self-interacting scalar fields\, whose mean i
s initially displaced from its minimum and identify the region in the mas
s-self-coupling parameter space where gravitational production paired wit
h parametric self-resonance is sufficient for producing the correct late
time abundance of dark matter. bctpi@brown.edu Are you a history concentrator (or inte

eak" countries overcome structural disadvantages to achieve their goals i
n United Nations environmental negotiations. Existing research holds that
major powers largely dictate the terms of multilateral environmental tal
ks\, driven by domestic and capital interests rather than by morally char
ged appeals from the Global South. Against interpretations that discount
the influence of peripheral states and treat ethics as epiphenomenal\, Fr
ed will show how Global South countries exercise authority by strategical
ly framing their bargaining positions around principles of equity—calli
ng on states to fairly distribute the benefits and burdens of environment
al action according to historical responsibility\, vulnerability\, and ca
pacity. When invoked effectively\, such ethical arguments delegitimize ri
val proposals\, advance morally authoritative alternatives\, and ultimate
ly persuade states to adopt fairer governing arrangements than would have
emerged otherwise. Fre

s that the social safety net serving children not only relieves immediate
poverty but generates long-term payoffs that are greater than its costs.
The reasons are rooted in child development: Focusing investments in the
critical periods before birth\, from zero to five\, and in adolescence c
an have profound effects on the arc of children's lives. Yet\, the safety
net is constantly under attack. Critics argue that the programs don't wo
rk\, that they foster dependency\, and that they are riddled with fraud.
Currie evaluates and rejects these arguments. Instead\, she argues that t
he real problems with the safety net include gaping holes\, excessive bur
dens on recipients\, and a lack of administrative capacity. Fixing these
problems would allow vulnerable children to grow into healthier\, more pr
oductive adults\, reducing social costs due to disability\, adult welfare
dependence\, and crime. Speaker

duate students of the Harvard Psychedelics Project undertook an experimen
t in "behavior change" by giving psilocybin to 34 prisoners at the Concor
d MCA\, a maximum-security prison then the oldest in Massachusetts. The p
roject was innovative in its structure: the prisoners were not only subje
cts (or "guinea pigs") but were invited to participate in the design and
evaluation of results. Meanwhile\, the scientists took psilocybin along w
ith the prisoners. Although many have written about this experime
nt as a watershed in psychedelic research (albeit one with controversial\

60\; Title: Eavesdropping on the Higgs boson — or — a resonan
t search for extra Higgs bosons and the b-tagging algorithms that make it
possible Abstract: One goals for the Large Hadron Co
llider is to search for new physics beyond Standard Model (SM)\, and this
talk presents a recent ATLAS search for a two singlet extension to the S
M in the four b-jet final state via X->\;SH->\;4b. There are two main
challenges to this analysis: (1) identifying the b-jets\, and (2) estima
ting the multi-jet initiated background in the analysis phase space. We p
resent the latest ATLAS flavor taggers\, including recent `scaling studie
s' which allow us to predict the performance (and optimal hyperparameters
) of larger models given smaller ones. This newest tagger improves the pr
evious ATLAS SOTA by a factor of two in background rejection. For the had
ronic backgrond estimation\, we present a conditional normalising flow to
interpolate from signal depleted sidebands into a blinded signal region.
Although these new physics signals remain elusive\, these algorithic dev
elopments chart a path forward to optimal taggers and analyses for the ne
xt wave of data-taking. This talk primarily covers work in these
results: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.18484

own.edu The John Carter Brown Library is please
d to announce a year-long exhibition titled "1776 Across the Americas: A
Hemispheric History from the Collections of the John Carter Brown Library
." The exhibition is now on display in the Bromsen Room at the Li
brary and is open to the public during regular Reading Room hours. The Jo
hn Carter Brown Library's Reading Room is open Monday through Thursday fr
om 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.\, and Friday from 1
0 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Curated by Beatrice and Julio Mario Santo Do
mingo Director and Librarian Karin Wulf and JCB 2026 Pos
tdoc Program Coordinator Kathleen Telling\, the exhibiti
on is part of the initiative 2026 and Beyond at the JCB\, which focuses o
n three major themes that reflect the deep strength of the Library's coll
ections and research and reveal the fullest and most consequential histor
ies of the early Americas: Foundations of Revolution: The Democratic Revo
lutions of the Early Americas\; Foundations of Democracy: Freedom of Reli
gion and Conscience\; Foundations of Historical Knowledge: How Libraries
Make History. In regard to the exhibition\, the curators explain
that\, "The John Carter Brown Library's collections cannot represent a co
mprehensive or holistic perspective on 1776 in any one place\, not least
the full hemisphere. But the collections of the JCB provide a unique vant
age on how largely printed materials– from books and pamphlets to broad
sides and maps– were produced in that year and reflected diverse experi
ences.Throughout this exhibit\, items of intimate and local consequence a
re juxtaposed with those of imperial\, national and international signifi
cance and tell the story of 1776 across the Americas through our remarkab
le collections." The exhibition opened on January 30\, 2026 and w
ill remain open until the end of the calendar year. We very much hope tha
t you will view it either in person or online when the digital version be
comes available! For more information\, visit us at jcblibrary.org. \n jcb-events@brown.edu\n Join us on November 5\, 2026 at 3 p.m.

teaching/brown-2026-reads for more information about the series. At the height of the civil rights movement\, Charl
es C. Diggs Jr. (1922–1998) was the consummate power broker. In a polit
ical career spanning 1951 to 1980\, Diggs\, Michigan's first Black member
of Congress\, was the only federal official to attend the trial of Emmet
t Till's killers\, worked behind the scenes with Martin Luther King Jr.\,
and founded the Congressional Black Caucus. He was also the chief archit
ect of legislation that restored home rule to Washington\, DC\, and almos
t single-handedly ignited the American anti-apartheid movement in the 196
0s. Drawing on extensive archival research\, including Diggs's rarely see
n personal papers\, FBI documents\, and original interviews with family m
embers and political associates\, political scientist Marion Orr reveals
that Diggs practiced a politics of strategic moderation. Orr argues that
this quiet approach was more effective than the militant race politics pr
acticed by Adam Clayton Powell and more appealing than the conservative C
hicago-style approach of William Dawson—two of Diggs's better-known Bla
ck contemporaries. More at https://uncpress.org/9781469689326/house-of-diggs/.

, and indeed what is generally perceived as a vital threat\, that is bein
g posed by what the computer scientist call "textual entailment" is the p
ossible effacement of the distinction between the automated "entailment"
and the human "inference." This presentation takes up this question in th
e context of Proust's famous essay on Flaubert's "style." In Proustian te
rms the question is: at what point does the mechanical or involuntary imi
tation of the Flaubertian text turn into one that is human and voluntary?
For Proust\, it is the point at which the allowing of the involuntary im
itation becomes spontaneous and the involuntary and the voluntary interpe
netrate. The linguistic system of "a Flaubert" that is involuntarily imit
ated must be able to generate a text that\, when allowed\, can become vol
untary in a way that does not entirely exclude the involuntary and that m
akes it impossible to distinguish absolutely between the one and the othe
r. This paper is interested in two kinds of fright
ening things in the literary works of Henry James and current AI's abilit
y to observe them given specific prompting. They are 1.) a class-based di
sadvantage that gets one into serious trouble\, including wrongful death\
, abuse\, and unassailable maligning by other characters and readers\; 2.
) the act of truly sneaking up on someone— both how it happens and the
way it deranges literary representation and comprehension. This paper wil
l give four ai models (and a smaller\, more tailored language model) exam
ples of the two phenomena and ask them to find similar examples across al
l of Henry James' literary works (from "A Tragedy of Error\," the first s
hort story he published\, to his last unfinished work\, A Sense of th
e Past). Are they accurate findings? What do they reveal about the d
ifference between human inference and a form of scaled inference that com
bines human inference with nonhuman inference and resources? Can a differ

earning and decision making across the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex<
/p> Host: Ellie McVeigh\, Graduate Student Colleges routinely encourage students t
o build relationships with faculty and advisors\, treating these connecti
ons as pathways to mentorship\, academic support\, and opportunity. But w
hat are colleges asking of students when access to valuable forms of supp
ort depends on relationships they must initiate and cultivate with people
who hold authority over them? Drawing on interviews with undergraduates
and ethnographic observations at a private university\, this talk examine
s how race and social class shape students' understandings of institution
al authority\, their strategies for cultivating relationships\, how those
relationships develop\, and what they yield. While some students approac
h these relationships with a sense of familiarity and possibility\, other
s carefully manage their self-presentation\, maintain boundaries\, or see
k to minimize the risks of engagement. Together\, the findings challenge
conventional approaches to student support that emphasize individual init
iative while overlooking the unequal relational work involved in turning
institutional resources into meaningful educational opportunities. Sherelle Ferguson is an Assistant Profes
sor of Sociology at the University of California\, Irvine. Her research e
xplores how schools and universities shape what students are able to do a
nd become\, examining the organizational practices and social relationshi
ps through which educational opportunities are created\, constrained\, an
d unequally realized. Spanning secondary and higher education\, her work
investigates how schools cultivate students' capacity for agency\, how ed
ucators' judgments and decisions shape educational trajectories\, and how
race and social class influence students' navigation of institutional ru
les and authority. Her emerging research also examines how colleges creat
e or constrain opportunities for recovery after academic setbacks.
Her research has appeared in Sociology of Education\, Sociolo
gical Forum\, and Socius. She is coauthoring an NSF-supported
book with Maia Cucchiara examining how progressive urban public high scho
ols cultivate student agency. She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from th
e University of Pennsylvania. \n Nichole Addeo Abstract: A cell's metabolism can be written down\, reaction by rea
ction\, from its genome. Mass balance and capacity limits turn this netwo
rk into a high-dimensional convex polytope of feasible metabolic fluxes.
Flux balance analysis (FBA) picks the growth-optimal point of that polyto
pe\, and dynamic FBA couples it to a changing environment. In this talk\,
I will show what this framework gains when it is joined with the tools o
f physics. First\, using our open-source platform COMETS\, I combine geno
me-scale metabolism of E. coli with nonlinear\, density-dependent biomass
propagation and demographic noise. The simulations reproduce realistic c
olony morphologies\, explain the transition from smooth to branched front
s as a growth instability\, and show how branching preserves genetic dive
rsity. Second\, I apply the same machinery to human cancer. Expre
ssion-based models of melanoma\, cervical\, and breast cancer cell lines\
, simulated with dynamic FBA\, predict medium-dependent trade-offs betwee
n growth rate and yield\, lactate overflow\, a largely shared set of esse
ntial genes\, and the outcome of virtual competition assays. Fina
lly\, I go beyond optimality. Using the glucose–acetate diauxic shift i
n E. coli\, I show that the bulk data are hard to explain with population
s of specialist cells. A dynamical maximum entropy inference\, refined to
single cells with flow cytometry\, reveals a continuum of co-consuming p
henotypes. Come to our Gr

will apply these concepts by collaboratively creating a mock oral history
project plan\, gaining practical tools they can adapt to academic or com
munity settings. Thursday\, November 12: This interacti
ve session guides participants through the full lifecycle of an oral hist
ory interview. Topics include preparing interview questions\, establishin
g consent and release forms\, ethical responsibilities\, and strategies f
or active listening. Grounded in the Six R's of Oral History Interviewing
\, participants will practice interviewing through mock sessions\, gainin
g practical experience in conducting respectful\, effective oral history
interviews. Thursday\, November 19: This session focuse
s on the preservation and stewardship of oral histories once interviews a
re complete. Archivists will introduce participants to archival workflows
at Brown University and the John Hay Library\, including preservation fo

er the power of earth to conceal and reveal\, to hold and relinquish\, to
transform and to consecrate the human body. Medieval knowledge-m
aking of and with relics—the vibrant matter of saintly bodies– make u
p early forms of what we now identify as archaeological modes of knowledg
e\, of invoking the earth and its revelations as evidence and exemplars i
n arguments over history\, place and power. These resonances betw
een soil\, stones\, and buried bodies will frame reflections on reliquary
knowledge in medieval and early modern Armenia. At the heart of these re
flections is the wondrously immaculate and yet epistemically leaky corpse
of the virgin Saint Hripsime\, martyred at the turn of the 4th century A
D. \; Professor Kate Franklin\, will examine the journey this
body takes through time\, cloaked in shrouds and soil\, and her vibrant
agency within the mattering of Armenian history as well as the troublesom

exhibitions. Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc
es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into
an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to
exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W
ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio
n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc
eptual process. Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc
luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi
le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L
etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\
, sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery.
While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t
hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders
to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast
ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune
s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and
those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio

ank's Development Research Group The Novel in the Age of AI: \;A Workshop organized at Brown University by the John Nicholas Brown Cen
ter for Advanced Study and Novel: A Forum on Fiction
60\; Thursday\, November 5-Friday\, November 6\, 2026 The rapid expansion of popular fictio
n at the turn of the twentieth century depended on more than simply writi
ng more. It also required new ways of organizing literary craft\, charact
erized by the increased use of prefabricated textual components. This pap
er asks whether such changes left a measurable trace in the prose itself
and what those changes may mean for the contemporary reconfiguration of a
uthorial labor.
Hannes Bajohr: "Latent Worlds: AI and the Novel"
In my presentation\, I will very briefly discuss my own attempts at writi
ng a novel using AI and then lay out my current project that connects the
idea of the "world model" in computer science - tied to classic\, symbol
ic AI but making a comeback in current LLM discourse - to the idea that n
ovels constitute worlds (especially with recourse to Hans Blumenberg). A
description of this could look like this: "A world—nothing less—is th
e theme and postulate of the novel\," Hans Blumenberg wrote in 1963\, as
AI research was beginning to develop its own "world models." Today\, thes
e literary and computational senses of world converge in LLMs\, whose lat
ent spaces can generate narratives with striking coherence but often weak
causality. Drawing on literary traditions from realism to modernism and
on my own experiments with a fine-tuned German-language model\, the talk
asks how novels and LLMs construct worlds through networks of relations\,
inferences\, and expectations. It uses this comparison to situate AI-gen
erated fiction between claims of machine understanding and dismissals of
mere mimicry.
The Typhoon project is an audiovisual literary installation wit
h a large language model as its generative engine. It engages directly wi
th 'the novel' by taking Joseph Conrad's Typhoon as its literal
context. As a work in its own right\, the project intends to be read as a
n original Conrad-related narrative\, but its tenor is an aesthetic comme
ntary on what Hannes Bajohr calls 'post-artificial' literary practice\, o
ffering an aboutness that reflects on literature's (re)active relations w
ith generative models and the 'typhoon' of their novelistic and other out
puts. Specifically\, this presentation addresses John Cayley's datafi
ed close reading of Conrad using certain innovative digital humaniti
es methods in order to blur or to interface the horizons of traditional c
lose reading and the more purely machine reading undertaken by models dur
ing their pretraining. Elle Pavlick's research for the project\, we sugge
st\, takes this datafied close reading and uses it to configure and to re
nder more 'novelistic' the realtime generation of the Typhoon pr
oject's model\, with techniques\, including adaptive activation steering\
, that are innovative within the discipline of machine learning. Lunch Break (12:00-1:00 p.m.) In May of th
is year\, the Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk ignited a controversy with re
marks she made at a conference in Poznań\, Poland. Several literary outl
ets reported Tokarczuk's comments that she had used AI in the writing of
her latest novel\, There is Too Much World\, published in Polish
in October. Tokarczuk's response to the outcry focused on her use of a l
anguage model as a research tool. In this paper\, I will consider Tokarcz
uk's claims about research as a question of novel theory\, especially in
discussions of fictionality\, historical understanding\, and documentatio
n. I will then turn to the status of research\, and specifically literary
research\, in contemporary institutions. In a moment when Vannevar Bush'
s framing of frontier science is being resurrected in the service of a co
nception of research driven by AI collaboration\, how does the novel rene
gotiate and reimagine the meaning of research? The paper argues that the rea
list novel's historical investment in singularity—understood here as th
e irreducible particularity of interior life rendered in language—has b
een made newly legible\, and newly precarious\, by the advent of Large La
nguage Models. To flesh this out\, this paper will examine Rachel Cusk's
Outline trilogy. Although written before the advent and
dissemination of LLMs\, the abiding impersonality of Cusk's novels uncan
nily anticipates the linguistic conditions LLMs produce. The form of Cusk
's novels\, in which a narrator channels others' speech and dissolves the
distinctions between those speakers\, registers transformations in the c
ultural and psychological experience of singularity. Crucially\, I'll arg
ue that Cusk's novels do not mourn this transformation in singularity but
regard it as a form of relief from the psychological burdens of liberal
individualism. \; Coffee break (3:00-3:30 p.m.

X-LIVEWHALE-CONTACT-INFO:Memory-safe languages are becoming the default for
writing and rewriting systems code\, and the case for them is only gettin
g stronger as bugs become easier to find and exploit. Rust has emerged as
the leading alternative to C\, but its memory-safety guarantees break wh
en interacting with foreign code such as assembly. Cryptographic librarie
s rely on hand-written assembly for constant-time execution and specializ
ed instructions\, and math\, image and video\, and compression libraries
use it for performance and parallelism. Each foreign function must be cor
rectly specified and used to guarantee safety. In this talk\, I will pres
ent CLAMS\, a static analysis tool that checks the memory safety of assem
bly called from Rust. CLAMS derives a specification for each assembly rou
tine from its Rust signature\, which developers can extend with invariant
s that types cannot express\, making the contract between the two languag
es explicit. It then verifies the assembly against that contract in secon
ds\, using type-based symbolic execution. Its loop-acceleration technique
s target performance-oriented code whose loops iterate over inputs of arb
itrary\, unbounded length\, without requiring developers to define loop i

SUMMARY:Exploiting Program Structure in the Oblivious Computation
DESCRIPTION:David Heath Assistant Professor University of Illinois Urba
na-Champaign Many secure systems—secure processors\, encrypted databas
es\, private cloud storage\, privacy-preserving protocols—involve a cli
ent offloading its memory to an untrusted storage. While encryption may b
e used to hide the content of the client's memory\, the client's access p
attern also leaks information. Oblivious RAM is a well-studied and powerf
ul cryptographic primitive ensures that no information is leaked to the u
ntrusted storage (beyond the number of accesses). Roughly\, ORAM is a com
piler that randomizes and obfuscates the client's memory access pattern.
ORAM's power is that it is general—an ORAM compiler works for any clie
nt program—but that generality comes at a cost: there are known lower b
ounds against generic ORAM\, preventing us from further asymptotically im
proving the primitive. In this talk\, I will present a route to circumve
nting inherent difficulty of ORAM. In particular\, rather than designing
a compiler that works for any client program\, we can instead focus on a
large class of programs. We identify classes of programs with enough stru
cture that they can be computed obliviously at lower cost\, and design te
chniques tailored to that structure. The resulting asymptotic improvement
s cover a surprisingly broad range of non-trivial programs\; I will prese
nt techniques for graph traversals\, string searches\, range queries\, an
d more. The unifying observation is a computational-model one: pointer m
achines and purely functional programs are strictly less expressive than
RAM\, yet expressive enough for many settings\, and restricting attention
to them makes oblivious computation asymptotically cheaper than a RAM-ba
sed formulation of the same task. Bio: David Heath is an assistant profe
ssor in the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science at the University
of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His research is in cryptography\, focusing
on the design and analysis of cryptographic protocols and algorithms\, e
specially in secure multiparty computation (MPC)\, oblivious data structu
res and algorithms\, and zero-knowledge proofs. Hosted by: Professor Pei

Title: Pricing Arbitrage: Target Selection and
Cost Efficiencies in Hospital Acquisitions
Abstract:
Policymakers and insurers are concerned about the effect of con
solidation in the hospital industry on prices\, yet there is little evide
nce quantifying the mechanisms that drive price effects. In theory\, hosp
ital acquisitions can affect prices and costs through three mechanisms: g
reater market power\, a change in pricing conditional on market power (of
ten referred to as bargaining ability)\, and cost synergies. This paper a
ttempts to fill this gap in the literature. Using novel outpatient transa
ction prices and detailed hospital cost data from California\, we documen
t that system acquisitions of independent hospitals raise prices while al
so reducing operating costs. We develop and estimate a model of patient d
emand and hospital-insurer price negotiations to quantify these mechanism
s. We find that hospital systems disproportionately target independent ho
spitals with weak bargaining ability. This targeting strategy reveals a f
orm of pricing arbitrage: systems leverage their superior bargaining abil
ity to raise prices at acquired hospitals\, accounting for 60% of observe
d price increases at the targeted facilities. Although acquisitions gener
ate meaningful cost savings that dampen net price increases\, this channe
l is outweighed by the combined effects of increased market power and bar
gaining ability.

adhuri_dugyala@brown.edu \; Over the course of the seventeenth century\, Eu
ropean drama was an important tool for whiteness to imagine itself at the
top of an aspirational structure of power relations. Indeed\, that struc
ture could only be aspirational at a time when Europeans were profoundly
divided along easily racializable religious and ethnic lines\, and when t
heir sovereignty was threatened by the Ottoman empire. It was to strength
en this emerging consciousness of racial whiteness\, Noémie Ndiaye argue
s in her new book\, that European drama engaged in a form of racial trian
gulation\, fitting Muslim\, Jewish\, Indigenous\, Romani\, and Asian char
acters into a spurious black/white racial binary. Focusing on English\, S
panish\, and French drama from 1580 to 1715\, The Whiteness Between Us
shows how plays became a crucial tool to position not only black peo
ple but any non-white community in the new racial architecture that white
supremacy sought to build. Ndiaye reveals the stage of this era as a spa
ce for wish fulfillment\, enabling participants to imagine and work towar
ds a whiter future. The conversation will focus in particular on the book
's second chapter\, "How to Become Invisible: Afro-Jewish Tensions."

ProgramThursday\, November 5 (Day 1) Kevin McLaughlin: Welcome RemarksSe
ssion 1 (3:00-5:30 p.m.)Kevin McLaughlin: "Entailment and the French Nove
l: Proust on Flaubert's Style" A key question\, and indeed what is gener
ally perceived as a vital threat\, that is being posed by what the comput
er scientist call "textual entailment" is the possible effacement of the
distinction between the automated "entailment" and the human "inference."
This presentation takes up this question in the context of Proust's famo
us essay on Flaubert's "style." In Proustian terms the question is: at wh
at point does the mechanical or involuntary imitation of the Flaubertian
text turn into one that is human and voluntary? For Proust\, it is the po
int at which the allowing of the involuntary imitation becomes spontaneou
s and the involuntary and the voluntary interpenetrate. The linguistic sy
stem of "a Flaubert" that is involuntarily imitated must be able to gener
ate a text that\, when allowed\, can become voluntary in a way that does
not entirely exclude the involuntary and that makes it impossible to dist
inguish absolutely between the one and the other. Nan Da: "Two Kinds of
Frightening Happenings in Henry James's Fiction" This paper is intereste
d in two kinds of frightening things in the literary works of Henry James
and current AI's ability to observe them given specific prompting. They
are 1.) a class-based disadvantage that gets one into serious trouble\, i
ncluding wrongful death\, abuse\, and unassailable maligning by other cha
racters and readers\; 2.) the act of truly sneaking up on someone— both
how it happens and the way it deranges literary representation and compr
ehension. This paper will give four ai models (and a smaller\, more tailo
red language model) examples of the two phenomena and ask them to find si
milar examples across all of Henry James' literary works (from "A Tragedy
of Error\," the first short story he published\, to his last unfinished
work\, A Sense of the Past). Are they accurate findings? What do they rev
eal about the difference between human inference and a form of scaled inf
erence that combines human inference with nonhuman inference and resource
s? Can a different understanding emerge of what's frightening in literatu
re? \;Zakir Paul:"The Novel and Counterfeit Life" From early moder
n automata to science fiction and cyberpunk\, novelists have long reflect
ed on the porous boundaries between the human and the artificial. These t
hemes are no longer confined to genre fiction. While recent theories of A
I increasingly question the distinction between "natural" and "artificial
" intelligence (David Bates\, Catherine Malabou)\, theories of the novel
reimagine the genre as a prosthetic form of "artificial life" (Peter Boxa
ll). Although LLMs raise seemingly intractable questions for language as
such\, the production\, consumption\, and interpretation of long-form nar
rative fiction may pose a distinct set of problems. At stake is the shift
ing relation between form and information\, fact and fiction\, counterfei
t and authenticity\, personhood and embodiment\, as well as the collapsin
g analogy between experience and narrative. Focusing on modernist debates
about intelligence and artifice\, this paper argues that current develop
ments in artificial authorship do not pose a fundamentally new problem fo
r the novel but recall one of its constitutive\, if continually perplexin
g\, abilities: the capacity to imitate life in its absence.Register for D

\n No prior experience with archives\, oral history\, or his
torical research is necessary. All three sessions must be attended to rec
eive an Oral History Certificate.\nAbstract: This talk outlines the
last chapter of my ongoing book project on formulaic knowledge and the so
cial history of medical recipe books in late imperial China. High Qing me
dical classicism has often demonstrated affinity to "Han learning" schola
rship that emphasized philological investigation into "authentic" version
s of ancient texts. What goes neglected in this narrative is that book co
llectors\, antiquarians\, and classical scholars in the eighteenth centur
y demonstrated a shared fascination with Tang-Song formula books and went
into extreme lengths in bringing these medieval texts back to print circ
ulation. The most extreme example is the reconstruction\, from the Ming e
ncyclopedia Yongle dadian\, of multiple early medical formularies
then republished in the Siku quanshu at the Qing court. This talk
invites us to rethink how medical knowledge and formulaic texts in partic
ular mediated eighteenth-century actors' imagination of the distant or mo
re recent past\, and how their reconstructed medical libraries provided i
mportant references for the emergent modern historiography of medicine in
East Asia.Bio: He BIAN is Associa
te Professor of History and East Asian Studies at Princeton University. H
er research explores authority and variation in early modern Chinese know
ledge culture\, particularly in medicine\, and foregrounds knowledge with
in its institutional\, social\, and economic contexts. She is the author
of Know Your Remedies: Pharmacy and Early Modern Culture in China\, 15
00–1800 (Princeton University Press\, 2020) and co-author of The
Manchu Mirrors and the Knowledge of Plants and Animals in High Qing Chin
a (Harvard Asia Center\, 2025). She is currently working on a social
history of medical recipes in late imperial China.

Reconstructions\, and New B
eginnings\," this panel seeks to alter ossified accounts of the US foundi
ng and reorient us to think differently about the varied\, radical\, and
far-reaching political imaginations at work during that era. The panel br
ings together distinguished historians of early America—Manisha Sinha (
University of Connecticut)\, Jen Manion (Amherst)\, and Maeve Kane
(SUNY Albany)—who approach the founding era from the perspective of hi
storical subjects who are not usually thought of as part of the generatio
n that shaped US political development. Collectively\, their work draws a
ttention to the feminists\, women\, and gender non-conforming people who
provide alternative genealogies of the political ideas of the founding er
a and unsettle the at times unthinking veneration of the founding fathers
\, the declaration of independence\, and the constitution that hampers ou
r ability to rethink US democracy anew. At a moment when the contribution
s of women and people of color to the development of the US are being sil
enced or erased\, this panel shows why it is vital to have an expansive a
ccount of the sources of US political thought.Thursdays\, From 5:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Book &\; Lyrics by Steven Sater Musi
c by Duncan Sheik
Based on the play by Frank Wedekind
The winner of eig
ht Tony Awards Spring Awakening explores the journey from adolescence to
adulthood with a poignancy and passion that is illuminating and unforgett
able. The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality\, sexual
ity and rock and roll that captures the aching urgency of adolescence and
asks what happens to young people when no one is willing to tell them th
e truth.

\, 2026Session 2 (9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.)Dennis Yi Tenen: "The Standardizat
ion of Fast Fiction" The rapid expansion of popular fiction at the turn
of the twentieth century depended on more than simply writing more. It al
so required new ways of organizing literary craft\, characterized by the
increased use of prefabricated textual components. This paper asks whethe

changes may mean for the contemporary reconfiguration of authorial labor
.Hannes Bajohr: "Latent Worlds: AI and the Novel" In my presentation\, I
will very briefly discuss my own attempts at writing a novel using AI an
d then lay out my current project that connects the idea of the "world mo
del" in computer science - tied to classic\, symbolic AI but making a com
eback in current LLM discourse - to the idea that novels constitute world
s (especially with recourse to Hans Blumenberg). A description of this co
uld look like this: "A world—nothing less—is the theme and postulate
of the novel\," Hans Blumenberg wrote in 1963\, as AI research was beginn
ing to develop its own "world models." Today\, these literary and computa
tional senses of world converge in LLMs\, whose latent spaces can generat
e narratives with striking coherence but often weak causality. Drawing on
literary traditions from realism to modernism and on my own experiments
with a fine-tuned German-language model\, the talk asks how novels and LL
Ms construct worlds through networks of relations\, inferences\, and expe
ctations. It uses this comparison to situate AI-generated fiction between
claims of machine understanding and dismissals of mere mimicry.John Cayl

ration: The Typhoon Project" The Typhoon project is an audiovisual liter
ary installation with a large language model as its generative engine. It
engages directly with 'the novel' by taking Joseph Conrad's Typhoon as i
ts literal context. As a work in its own right\, the project intends to b
e read as an original Conrad-related narrative\, but its tenor is an aest
hetic commentary on what Hannes Bajohr calls 'post-artificial' literary p
ractice\, offering an aboutness that reflects on literature's (re)active
relations with generative models and the 'typhoon' of their novelistic an
d other outputs. Specifically\, this presentation addresses John Cayley's
datafied close reading of Conrad using certain innovative digital humani
ties methods in order to blur or to interface the horizons of traditional
close reading and the more purely machine reading undertaken by models d
uring their pretraining. Elle Pavlick's research for the project\, we sug
gest\, takes this datafied close reading and uses it to configure and to
render more 'novelistic' the realtime generation of the Typhoon project's
model\, with techniques\, including adaptive activation steering\, that
are innovative within the discipline of machine learning.Lunch Break (12:
00-1:00 p.m.)Session 3 (1:00-3:00 p.m.)Kate Marshall: "Darling\, how coul

Too Much World\, published in Polish in October. Tokarczuk's response to
the outcry focused on her use of a language model as a research tool. In
this paper\, I will consider Tokarczuk's claims about research as a quest

research\, and specifically literary research\, in contemporary instituti

understood here as the irreducible particularity of interior life rende
red in language—has been made newly legible\, and newly precarious\, by
the advent of Large Language Models. To flesh this out\, this paper will
examine Rachel Cusk's Outline trilogy. Although written before the adven

uncannily anticipates the linguistic conditions LLMs produce. The form of
Cusk's novels\, in which a narrator channels others' speech and dissolve

Biomarkers that detect disease early\, track its progression\, and illuminate its biology are therefore central to modern drug discovery. They help identify who is most likely to benefit from a therapy\, who is at highest near-term risk\, and which pathways are worth targeting.

Jae-Hoon Sul\, Director of Neuroscience\, Ophthamolog y and Auditory Therapeutic Area Genetics at Regeneron Genetics Center\, w ill present a talk\, "Genes\, Proteins\, and Pixels: Machine Learning and Causal Inference for Biomarker Discovery in Neurodegenerative Disease."< /p>
Abstract: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzhe imer's and Huntington's disease damage the brain years before symptoms ap pear\, yet patients are typically diagnosed and enrolled in clinical tria ls only after substantial decline. Biomarkers that detect disease early\, track its progression\, and illuminate its biology are therefore central to modern drug discovery. They help identify who is most likely to benef it from a therapy\, who is at highest near-term risk\, and which pathways are worth targeting. Population-scale biobanks now make it possible to s earch for such biomarkers systematically.

Title:Schools can E

d Civic Engagement
Youth development is unfolding against
the backdrop of persistent and deepening racialized economic inequality.
In this context\, critical consciousness––a three-dimensional constr
uct comprising a structural-historical analysis of inequality\, motivatio
n to contribute to social change efforts\, and action taken to challenge
inequality––may serve as a psychological asset for youth. Despite pos
itive associations between critical consciousness and youth academic and
civic engagement\, the United States' educational system denies youth opp
ortunities to develop critical consciousness via meritocratic narratives
and the absence of perspectives from marginalized racial groups in educat
ional curricula. California is charting a new path by requiring high scho
ol students to complete an ethnic studies course to graduate. Ethnic stud
ies courses aim to provide students with opportunities to understand them
selves and their communities in relation to histories of racial injustice
and to consider their own roles as agents of social change. In this talk
\, I will present findings from two longitudinal studies (n =~ 2000) that
trace students' development of critical consciousness during ethnic stud
ies enrollment and the downstream consequences of that development. Toget
her\, these studies show how schools can support critical consciousness d
evelopment and offer implications for current debates about critical race

Title: Particle Physics: Charting th e Path to the Future Abstrac t: The discovery of the Higgs boson completed the particle content of the Standard Model\, yet some of the deepest questions in fundamental physic s remain unanswered. What is the origin of the matter–antimatter asymme try of the Universe? What is the nature of dark matter? Why is the electr oweak scale so much lighter than the Planck scale? Addressing these chall enges requires ambitious experimental facilities\, sustained technologica l innovation\, and long-term international planning. Particle physics now stands at a pivotal moment as the community considers the best path beyo nd the High- Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In Europe\, this p rocess is guided by the European Strategy for Particle Physics\, a commun ity-driven strategy that is updated approximately every six years to refl ect scientific progress and the evolving international landscape. The lat est update\, initiated by CERN Council in 2024\, was shaped by several ma jor developments: the completion of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Fe asibility Study\, important new results from the LHC\, and rapidly evolvi ng plans for future facilities in China\, Japan\, and the United States. This talk will review the current status of particle physics\, discuss th e scientific and strategic considerations that shaped the outcome of the latest European Strategy\, and examine how these recommendations are expe cted to shape the next several decades of particle physics worldwide.

Over that time\, the power of the early Chines e aristocracy and the kin-ordered states they ruled deteriorated amid des tructive internecine competition. Consequently\, the dominant form of sta te organization shifted from aristocratic oligarchies to centralized mona rchies as displaced nobles were absorbed into emerging bureaucratic offic ialdoms. While warfare is often identified as the principal driving force behind these developments\, this talk explores the equally crucial and c losely related role of elite marriages. For the early Chinese aristocracy \, marriage was a highly formalized instrument of statecraft that reinfor ced hereditary power and maintained sociopolitical order. On the other ha nd\, it also increasingly fueled inter and intrastate conflict by creatin g openings for rival claims to power\, ultimately contributing to the dis solution of the traditional aristocracy. Thus\, marriage relations offer a lens through which to understand the logics and dynamics of diplomacy a nd war in Eastern Zhou China.
Chris Kim is Postdoctoral Associate and Lecturer in East Asian Studies\, at the MacMillan Center fo r International and Area Studies at Yale's Council on East Asian Studies. He is a historian of early China whose interdisciplinary research explor es state-building\, political economy\, and urbanism in the Zhou dynasty. His current book project\, Building the Qi State\, examines the spatial\, economic\, and infrastructural dynamics of state power in Qi o ver the course of its transformation from a peripheral polity in present- day Shandong Province to a major territorial power of eastern China in th e Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods\, c. 700-300 BCE. Kim is a lso working on a range of related projects including Eastern Zhou kingshi p\, early Chinese coinage\, and the cross-cultural exchange of metallurgi cal knowledge in the greater Yellow Sea region in antiquity. He received his PhD from Columbia University and MA from Harvard University. Before h is position at Yale\, he was a visiting assistant professor at New York U niversity.

Recently described as "perverse and nihilistic" by s omeone on Twitter\, Anika Kildegaard (voice) and Will Yager (double bass) are LIGAMENT\, an ensemble dedicated to commissioning new music and crea ting work for their unique instrumentation. LIGAMENT's performances are a fusion of standard and non-standard elements\; sometimes there are high heels and sometimes there are electric toothbrushes (and sometimes both). The duo is equally at home with extended techniques as with extra-musica l elements.
LIGAMENT means business: they've been ensemb le fellows at New Music on the Point and Cortona Sessions for New Music\; have performed in concert series iHearIC\, Feed Me Weird Things\, Univer sity of Iowa Center for New Music\, and Bowerbird\; have been tapped as t he collaborating ensemble for dance performances not I but that which works within me (Alyssa Gersony). Other performance highlights incl ude the Kansas City Contemporary Music Festival and Cleveland Uncommon So und Project's Re:Sound 2021. Recent seasons have included tours with duos Ogni Suono and Sydeboob Duo\, residencies at the University of Idaho and University of Iowa\, and collaborations with the composition department at the Peabody Conservatory. Their 2025-26 season includes being the gues t ensemble at the University of Northern Iowa and University of Georgia n ew music festivals\, and a tour across Ohio. They have premiered many new works\, and have an upcoming album of pieces written expressly for the d uo.
LIGAMENT is currently based in Iowa/Philadelphia. Le arn more about the musicians at th eir website.

Using the se mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audiences to question how boo ks\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This s how takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." With Singh's Book Build ing (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibition analyzes book-making as an ar tistic practice\, material form\, and conceptual process. Works in the e xhibition span Singh's career\, including Book Building (2022)\, Blue Boo k (2009)\, File Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a Letter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\, sequence s\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book that become s its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see ho w the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, casting light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attunes us to th e gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibition asks: ho w can architecture\, photography and books transform our relationship to institutional spaces and our role within them? — Curated by Miranda Cu ozzo\, Anna Douglas\, Benet Ge\, Nida Jaffer\, Monaye Johnson\, Verda Kar aoğlu\, Luvuyo Nyawose\, Tristan Whalen\, Chuyu Xiong\, Joey Young\, and Ray Zhang (History of Art and Architecture Practicum 2025\, Museum of Po ssibilities)Building Books with Dayanita Singh is co-presented by Brown A rts Institute and History of Art and Architecture.

The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

In her practice\, Dayanita Singh experi ments with form through photography\, architecture\, and books to create exhibitions. Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc eptual process.
Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

Using the se mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audiences to question how boo ks\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This s how takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." With Singh's Book Build ing (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibition analyzes book-making as an ar tistic practice\, material form\, and conceptual process. Works in the e xhibition span Singh's career\, including Book Building (2022)\, Blue Boo k (2009)\, File Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a Letter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\, sequence s\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book that become s its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see ho w the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, casting light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attunes us to th e gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display.

This semin
ar opens with a core question at the heart of contemporary debates about
displacement: what becomes of "protection" when its legal form fails to s
ecure safety\, dignity\, or a sense of belonging in practice? Through the

\, the seminar examines the persistent gap between the formal architectur
e of asylum and the lived realities it is meant to address. Despite diffe
rences between the two political contexts\, both groups face a similar co
ntradiction: legal protection is formally granted yet remains tenuous\, d
elayed\, or inaccessible in everyday life. Throughout the seminar\, this
tension is captured in the notion of refuge without refuge.
Rather than treating asylum systems or humanitarian programs as neutral a

cal fields that shape how displaced people are categorized\, evaluated\,

T alk Title: Causal Vaccine Effects on Post-infection Outcomes in the Naturally Infected
Abstract: Understanding vac cine effects on post-infection outcomes is critical for evaluating the fu ll value proposition of a vaccine. However\, defining appropriate causal effects on such outcomes can be challenging. We propose causal estimands for post-infection outcomes in the Naturally Infected subpopulatio n consisting of individuals who would be infected in absence of vaccine. We discuss partial identification using bounds and point identification a nd estimation using semi-parametric efficient one-step estimators with ro bustness properties under inconsistent nuisance parameter estimation. We further show under what conditions the same identification functional can be interpreted as targeting an effect among individuals exposed to a suf ficiently infectious dose of the pathogen\, thereby avoiding direct relia nce on cross-world parameters and fundamentally untestable causal assumpt ions. We illustrate the method using an analysis of a rotavirus vaccine t rial and simulation studies aimed to guide the design of Shigella vaccine trials.

In the closing months of 2025\, as ICE descended with unprecedented brutality on the Twin Cities\, residents res ponded by mobilizing in support of immigrants. These mobilizations conden sed around a singular figure — the neighbor. This figure is not new. At least since Gandhi\, some of the most militantly nonviolent forms of dem ocratic politics have centered around the neighbor.
In this talk\ , historian Ajay Skaria (University of Minnesota) attemp ts an epistemic history of the democratic neighbor. It will ask a series of nested questions: How is this neighbor different from and related to t he older figure of the neighbor\, the contemporary figure of the citizen\ , or analogous figures such as the friend? How does the Other occur in ea ch of these figures? What is the relation between "who" and "what" in the se various figures? How does the figure of the democratic neighbor relate to "religion"?
If you have questions or require accommod ations\, please contact humanities-institute@brown.eduor (401) 863-6070. If you' re a community member without a Brown ID card who'd like to attend the ev ent\, please reach out — we'd love for you to join us!
Ajay Skaria currently teache s at the University of Minnesota. A member of the Subaltern Studies editorial collective from 1995 till its dissolution\, he is one of the co-editors of Subaltern Studies Vol. XII\, and \;the author o f Hybrid Histories: Forests\, Frontiers and Wildness in Western India< /i> (Oxford University Press\, 1999) and Unconditional Equality: Gandh i's Religion of Resistance (Oxford University Press\, 2016). He is cu rrently completing a collection of essays\, Thinking with Gandhi and A mbedkar\, and is working on another book\, Neighborism and Democra cy.
Presented by the Cogut Institute for the Humanitiesand convened b y Leela Gandhi as part of the Fall 2026 seminar "Postcolonial Theory" and the Humanities in the Worldinitiative.

About the book
In eighteent h-century America\, genealogy was more than a simple record of family tie s–it was a powerful force that shaped society. Lineage delves into an e ra where individuals\, families\, and institutions meticulously documente d their connections. Whether driven by personal passion or mandated by ch urches\, local governments\, and courts\, these records appeared in diver se forms-from handwritten notes and account books to intricate silk threa ds and enduring stone carvings.
Family connections wielded signif icant influence across governmental\, legal\, religious\, cultural\, and social spheres. In the American context\, these ties also defined the bou ndaries of slavery and freedom\, with a child's status often determined b y their mother\, despite the prevailing patriarchy. This book reveals the profound importance of genealogy that was chronicled by family records\, cultural artifacts\, and court documents. These materials\, created by b oth enslaved individuals seeking freedom and founding fathers seeking sta tus\, demonstrate the culturally and historically specific nature of gene alogical interest.
Even as the American Revolution transformed so ciety\, the significance of genealogy endured. The legacy of lineage from the colonial period continued to shape the early United States\, undersc oring the enduring importance of family connections. Lineage offers a dee p understanding of genealogy as a foundational element of American histor y\, illuminating its vital role from the colonial era through the birth o f the nation.

Monte (Robert Pattinson) and his baby daughter are the last survivors of a damned and d angerous mission to deep space. The crew — death-row inmates led by a d octor (Juliette Binoche) with sinister motives — has vanished. As the m ystery of what happened onboard the ship is unraveled\, father and daught er must rely on each other to survive as they hurtle toward the oblivion of a black hole. — description from A24
Film-Thinking is a series of conversations hosted by the Cogut Institute for the H umanities\, asking how cinema can help us to think about the many challen ges facing our moment. According to the novelist Jonathan Coe\, "A movie is something we should only see when somebody else shows it to us." In th e spirit of Coe's remark\, each Film-Thinking event comprises a curated s creening of a film and a post-screening conversation. A pre-circulated Fi lm Note offers a point of departure for the screening and the discussion. The aim of Film-Thinking is to enlarge our sense of the politics of cine ma and collectively expand our understanding of film's capacity for thoug ht. This event has been made possible\, in part\, by the Brown Arts Insti tute and is cosponsored by the Department of Italian Studies.

This semester\, the New University in Exile Consortium is offeri ng 9 Co-Led Online Seminars which are FREE and open to anyone anywhe re in the world. Taught by two endangered scholars – one who is hosted by a Consortium member institution\, and the other a colleague of their c hoice - the seminars are designed to reconnect endangered scholars with t he academic community they have lost while in exile\, and provide learnin g opportunities that would not otherwise be available.
The contemporary turn toward illiberal politics across n umerous countries reveals a set of recurring tendencies: rising xenophobi a and social polarization targeting minorities\; the revival of nineteent h-century principles of foreign policy based on spheres of influence and the privileges of great powers\; the discrediting of expert knowledge\; t he fragmentation of public discourse into mutually isolated ideological c lusters\; the framing of painful social issues as elements of conspiracy and culture wars\; and an increasing tolerance for violence between state s and social groups.
This course treat s the contemporary "crisis of truth" as an entry point into a broader pro blem: the crisis of communication\, social polarization\, and the erosion of the social contract in contemporary societies. Illiberal regimes and movements do not simply reject truth\; rather\, they seek to monopolize\, instrumentalize\, or strategically destabilize the very ideas of common truth and common good. The resulting crisis affects not only political in stitutions\, but also the everyday forms through which individuals and gr oups recognize\, address\, and imagine one another. The final aim of the course is therefore not simply to "restore" damaged communicative pacts\, but to imagine new scenarios of interpersonal imagination: new ways in w hich individuals and groups can perceive\, address\, recognize\, and resp ond to one another without reducing social\, cultural\, and psychological complexity.

This semester\, the New University in Exile Consortium is offeri ng 9 Co-Led Online Seminars which are FREE and open to anyone anywhe re in the world. Taught by two endangered scholars – one who is hosted by a Consortium member institution\, and the other a colleague of their c hoice - the seminars are designed to reconnect endangered scholars with t he academic community they have lost while in exile\, and provide learnin g opportunities that would not otherwise be available.
This ten-week seminar introduces participants to a set o f freely available online tools that allow researchers to examine crisis- affected areas through satellite imagery\, displacement records\, populat ion data\, and humanitarian maps\, without any coding ability\, GIS licen se\, or prior technical experience. The seminar is designed for researche rs from any discipline\, including history\, law\, journalism\, sociology \, and human rights\, who want to bring visual and spatial evidence into their work in a grounded and honest way.
What makes this kind of work genuinely powerful is the ability to brin g different sources together: to read a satellite image of a neighborhood alongside population and demographic data\, to explore displacement figu res in light of humanitarian records\, and to ask what multiple layers of evidence\, taken together\, reveal about a crisis that no single source could show on its own. Drawing on cases from Afghanistan\, Sudan\, Ethiop ia\, and other conflict-affected regions\, the seminar connects these met hods directly to broader questions of democratic governance\, humanitaria n accountability\, and the visibility of ordinary people living through e xtraordinary circumstances.
Working wi th real images and real data\, participants will learn to move between di fferent sources and build a fuller picture of what is happening on the gr ound. Emphasis is placed not only on how to use these tools\, but on how to read them critically\, recognizing what the evidence shows\, what it l eaves out\, and whose experiences risk disappearing from the record entir ely. The tools introduced across the ten sessions include Sentinel Hub Pl ayground\, Google Earth Engine Timelapse\, UNOSAT\, the IDMC Displacement Viewer\, HOT drone imagery\, and the Global Human Settlement Layer\, all free and accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
By the end\, each participant will have produced a short Image Interpretation Memo based on a crisis case of their own choos ing\, a practical piece of work that draws on multiple sources and reflec ts the skills developed across the course. This seminar holds particular meaning at a moment when conflicts in Afghanistan\, Sudan\, Ethiopia\, an d many other parts of the world continue to displace communities\, destro y infrastructure\, and restrict access to independent research. It is des igned precisely for scholars and researchers who are living and working c losest to these realities\, including those in exile\, and who need pract ical\, accessible tools to keep documenting\, analyzing\, and bearing wit ness to what is happening on the ground.

My tertulia will discuss the literary g enre of the novella as satirical short stories that followed the Horatian maxim ofprodesse et delectare: to simultaneously educate and entertain readers. Despite the decades that separated the authors\, C erventes's collection of exemplary novels (1613) was well known to María de Zayas\, whom she imitated in her own collections of stories\, ten Novelas amorosas y ejemplares (1637) and ten Desengaños amorosos< /i> (1647).
I will focus on Cervantes's Casamiento engañoso and on María de Zayas's El castigo de la miseria \, both novel s that reference the picaresque novel\, to underscore their similarities and their differences\, noting that Zayas intended to differentiate herse lf from Cervantes—all the while taking advantage of his popularity as a writer. She did so through two distinct and highly complex aspects: the formal construction of the genre and the social depiction of women in her narrative\, which we will discuss.
ANNE J. CRUZ ( Ph.D.\, Stanford University) is Professor of Spanish and Cooper Fellow Em erita at the University of Miami\, where she served as Chair of the Depar tment of Modern Languages and Interim Director of the Center for the Huma nities.

This thesis argues that these priors can be unlocked\ , without replacing the pretrained model\, by making them controllable\, specialized\, and stateful.

Pretrained generative models already encode rich
priors over how content looks\, moves\, and changes\, yet much of that kn
owledge remains out of reach for interactive content creation\, where a c
reator specifies\, inspects\, and revises over a continuing session. This
thesis argues that these priors can be unlocked\, without replacing the
pretrained model\, by making them controllable\, specialized\, and statef
ul. It develops three complementary mechanisms: unified control that turn
s creative decisions into executable conditions\, architectural specializ
ation that extends a model's capabilities and matches its computation to
the structure of generation\, and persistent memory that carries establis
hed context beyond the active generation window. The supporting projects
evaluate these mechanisms in controllable human–scene interaction video
\, unified motion generation and editing\, motion-capable language models
\, efficient streaming video generation\, and real-time world models with
persistent memory.

The John Carter Brown Library is please d to announce a year-long exhibition titled "1776 Across the Americas: A Hemispheric History from the Collections of the John Carter Brown Library ."
The exhibition is now on display in the Bromsen Room at the Li brary and is open to the public during regular Reading Room hours. The Jo hn Carter Brown Library's Reading Room is open Monday through Thursday fr om 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.\, and Friday from 1 0 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
Curated by Beatrice and Julio Mario Santo Do mingo Director and Librarian Karin Wulf and JCB 2026 Pos tdoc Program Coordinator Kathleen Telling\, the exhibiti on is part of the initiative 2026 and Beyond at the JCB\, which focuses o n three major themes that reflect the deep strength of the Library's coll ections and research and reveal the fullest and most consequential histor ies of the early Americas: Foundations of Revolution: The Democratic Revo lutions of the Early Americas\; Foundations of Democracy: Freedom of Reli gion and Conscience\; Foundations of Historical Knowledge: How Libraries Make History.
In regard to the exhibition\, the curators explain that\, "The John Carter Brown Library's collections cannot represent a co mprehensive or holistic perspective on 1776 in any one place\, not least the full hemisphere. But the collections of the JCB provide a unique vant age on how largely printed materials– from books and pamphlets to broad sides and maps– were produced in that year and reflected diverse experi ences.Throughout this exhibit\, items of intimate and local consequence a re juxtaposed with those of imperial\, national and international signifi cance and tell the story of 1776 across the Americas through our remarkab le collections."
The exhibition opened on January 30\, 2026 and w ill remain open until the end of the calendar year. We very much hope tha t you will view it either in person or online when the digital version be comes available!

AI: Solution or Obstacle for Climate Adaptation?
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing research\, education\ , and business—unlocking unprecedented opportunities across the environ ment\, health\, and beyond. In our lab\, we're developing the first found ation model for healthy adaptation to extreme weather events\, pre-traine d on the complete US Medicare dataset and enriched with nationwide Census \, weather\, and pollution data. This model enables powerful "what-if" sc enario forecasting\, using synthetic ground-truth data to validate counte rfactual predictions and guide impactful climate actions. Yet this AI-dri ven progress comes at a cost: energy-hungry data centers power these adva nces\, raising concerns about their environmental footprint and the parad ox of AI's growing electricity demand in a world striving to reduce relia nce on fossil fuels. In this talk\, I'll share insights from our work and explore AI's uncertain\, double-edged role in the fight against climate change.

Situating the film alongside the rise of C hinese female stand-up comedians and debates over "women's punches\," it examines how Her Story both "pulls its punches" through irony and redirec ts its sharpest satire toward performative "feminist men." Meanwhile\, th e film "sheathes the blade\," embedding subtle reflections on contemporar y social realities within an uplifting narrative of women's friendship\, care\, and solidarity. These strategies reveal how feminist comedy negoti ates the tensions between critique and affirmation\, disillusionment and hope.Speaker Zhuoyi Wang is Professor and Chair of East Asian Langua ges and Literatures at Hamilton College.

The first person entered English prose fiction as a delibe rate provocation\, one that challenges both an earlier hermeneutics of su spicion and modern notions of possessive individualism. The novel's subje ct registers in its sensitive form the seventeenth-century tremors of mas s upheaval—long-range agitations that in Richardson's time still called for a collective practice of literature extending far past fictional bou nds.

Join us this fall for three films that ask what it means to be human in a world where people and machines are be coming increasingly intertwined. For the first time\, our Rigorously Cura ted Film Festival is being screened in the Main Hall of The Lindemann Per forming Arts Center\, and the Nelson Atwater Lobby will become a movie th eater lobby\, offering classic cinephile concessions (think popcorn\, cho colate-covered raisins\, all the good stuff.)
On Tuesday\, Novemb er 10\, we'll kick off the festival with the 2008 film Sleep Dealer\, directed by Alex Rivera. Per the IMDB listing on the film: "The nea r future. Like tomorrow. In a world marked by closed borders\, corporate warriors\, and a global computer network\, three strangers risk their liv es to connect\, break through the barriers of technology\, and unseal the ir fates." \;
Open to all\; free tickets required.

This semester\, the New University in Exile Consortium is offeri ng 9 Co-Led Online Seminars which are FREE and open to anyone anywhe re in the world. Taught by two endangered scholars – one who is hosted by a Consortium member institution\, and the other a colleague of their c hoice - the seminars are designed to reconnect endangered scholars with t he academic community they have lost while in exile\, and provide learnin g opportunities that would not otherwise be available.
Wikipedia presents itself as a neutral encyclopedia — the sum of human knowledge\, freely shared. But beneath its familiar surf ace\, a quieter conflict is unfolding. In the digital age\, Wikipedia has become one of the most consequential arenas for the contestation of cult ural memory: who gets to name a monument\, define a tradition\, claim a h istorical territory\, or represent a community to the world. This seminar investigates how state and non-state actors manipulate Wikipedia's open editing infrastructure to advance nationalist agendas\, erase minority cu ltural heritage\, and reshape collective memory at scale — with consequ ences that reach far beyond the encyclopedia itself\, into search engines \, AI training data\, and public discourse.
The communities most vulnerable to this erasure share a common feat
ure: they are already marginal in the structures that govern knowledge pr
oduction. Minority and stateless peoples\, diaspora communities\, women s
cholars and historical figures\, and LGBTQ individuals and traditions are
disproportionately targeted — their Wikipedia presence suppressed\, di
storted\, or simply never built in the first place. A medieval Armenian q
ueen\, a Ukrainian woman poet\, a queer cultural practice that predates i
ts own criminalization: each leaves a different kind of trace\, and each
is erased by a different combination of nationalist agenda and platform i
ndifference. Drawing on methods from corpus linguistics and digital human
ities\, the seminar examines these patterns together — not as separate
problems\, but as expressions of a single dynamic in which digital infras
tructure replicates and amplifies the exclusions of the offline
wo
rld.
Each week\, participants will exa mine a concrete case\, moving from the contestation of heritage sites in active conflict zones\, to coordinated editing campaigns targeting women and LGBTQ figures\, to the structural features of Wikipedia that make it both powerful and vulnerable to manipulation. No prior expertise is requi red. The seminar is designed for anyone curious about the politics of kno wledge\, the fight for visibility in digital space\, and what it means for a people\, a woman\, a community — to exist in the twenty-first c entury's most consulted encyclopedia.

About the Talk:
Th e Role of Democracy in the Science of AI
What\, if anyth ing\, can public involvement add to the science of AI at a time when AI r esearch seems exclusive to a very narrow few? And is science even a usefu l tool for understanding and managing AI systems and their behaviors? Fro m policing technology to the essays in a first-year writing class\, AI is often something that people feel has been done *to* them rather than for or with the people most affected. Because they adapt to human behaviors that they also influence\, their actions have been hard to predict— rep resenting a risk to society and a challenge for anyone who would govern t heir behavior.
In this talk\, J. Nathan Matias will share reflect ions on a decade of research working alongside the public to study collective human-algorith m behavior in complex social environments. He will also share forthcoming and early stage work on ways that the widespread deployment of semi-auto nomous AI systems can chill or support civil liberties.

Along the River Road
Peter O'Nei
ll and Lindsay French
In Northwest Cambodia\, on the outskirts of
Battambang's provincial capital\, on a stretch of road leading out of to
wn along the Sankae River\, Cambodians work to rebuild their country and
improve their lives 50 years after the Khmer Rouge revolution. Neither ur
ban nor rural\, neither typical nor unique\, the river road is home to an
historically mixed population: Khmer\, Chinese\, Chvea\, ethnic V
ietnamese\; Buddhist\, Muslim\, Catholic\, and evangelical Christian. Sho
ps\, markets\, and small businesses line the river road. Mosques are loca
ted side by side Buddhist temples\, and a large Catholic compound dating
to 1790 constitute important social and cultural as well as religious ins
titutions.
In this context\, a film-maker and an anthropologist w ith 35 years of experience in the area explore how people work to get alo ng with each other\; where\, in spite of a history of violence and politi cal conflict and the constraints of the current one-party state\, life co ntinues to move forward.
This film intersperses scenes of daily l ife with personal testimonies from three generations of Cambodians living along the river road. Both historically specific and timeless in its rel evance\, this film speaks to the long term challenges of reconstruction i n the aftermath of war\, genocide\, and great social upheaval.
Th e film is 98 minutes long. There will be a Q&\;A with the filmmakers a fter the screening.
About the filmmakers
Lindsay French Associate Professor Emerita
Lindsay French taught social an d cultural anthropology at RISD for 27 years. Her research focuses on pos t-Pol Pot Cambodia and the processes of social and cultural reconstructio n in the aftermath of genocide. She is especially interested in families divided by war\, displacement and migration\, and the efforts to maintain family ties attenuated by time\, space\, politics\, and very different e conomic opportunities. Her current project looks at an area of unusual re ligious diversity in northwest Cambodia and these communities' focus on c ommonalities rather than difference. More generally\, she is interested i n migration\, both voluntary and forced\, Buddhism and everyday life in d ifferent parts of the world\, the political economy of international inte rventions\, and the challenges of representation\, whether ethnographic\, photographic\, theatrical\, or curatorial. She has previously collaborat ed with SEASI in a talk titled "Southeast Asian Studies from the Peripher y."

Using the se mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audiences to question how boo ks\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This s how takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." With Singh's Book Build ing (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibition analyzes book-making as an ar tistic practice\, material form\, and conceptual process. Works in the e xhibition span Singh's career\, including Book Building (2022)\, Blue Boo k (2009)\, File Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a Letter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\, sequence s\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book that become s its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see ho w the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, casting light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attunes us to th e gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display.

The Medicare Advantage (MA) market and the hospital industry are highly concentrated. In this concentrated marke t\, the price of hospital care provided to MA enrollees is negotiated bet ween MA plans and hospitals. However\, little is known about how the mark et power of MA plans affects the negotiated price\, especially for electi ve procedures. This study aims to examine an association of MA market pow er with negotiated prices between MA plans and hospitals\, using national hospital price transparency data.

While early intervention can reduce immediate tissue damage\ , long-term recovery relies heavily on the brain's capacity for plasticit y following injury. Brain stimulation holds significant promise for enhan cing recovery\, but its clinical translation has been hindered by limited mechanistic insight and suboptimal timing relative to the evolving post- stroke state. Our work focuses on developing advanced neurotechnologies t o study and guide recovery in preclinical models. We combine electrical s timulation with genetically targeted approaches\, including optogenetics and chemogenetics\, and pair these interventions with high-resolution neu ral recording and imaging to characterize changes in neural activity\, ne urovascular coupling\, and behavior over time. In this talk\, I will intr oduce these technologies and share recent findings on how targeted brain stimulation can promote neuroplasticity and neuroprotection after stroke\ , with implications for next-generation therapeutic strategies.Bio: Dr. A zadeh Yazdan is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Bioengineeri ng and Electrical &\; Computer Engineering at the University of Washin gton. Her research focuses on developing innovative tools and methodologi es for large-scale neural interfaces to investigate the mechanisms underl ying targeted neuroplasticity and neuroprotection in cortical networks. H er long-term goal is to advance stimulation-based therapies to restore fu nction and mobility in individuals with neurological disorders\, includin g stroke.

Title: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and Cosmic Tensions
\;
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) can co nstrain cosmological parameters to which it has no direct sensitivity whe n it is included in joint analyses with the Cosmic Microwave Background ( CMB) or other probes. This has implications for the Hubble tension and th e Omega_m/ h r_d tension between CMB and baryon acoustic oscillations (BA O). I will begin by discussing work that eliminates a major BBN theory sy stematic\, enhancing its precision and revealing a very minor tension wit h the CMB. I will then discuss the impact of BBN precision on these exist ing cosmic tensions.

Abstract: The 2022 D obbs versus Jackson Women's Health Supreme Court decision immediatel y triggered abortion bans in at least 14 U.S. states. In this context of sharply constrained reproductive-care options\, reproductive-justice scho lars have argued that the term 'coerced sterilization' would be appropriately used to describe any consequent increase in permanent contr aception use. We investigate female postpartum sterilization incidence in creases immediately post-Dobbs among two groups\, Native-America ns and immigrant Latinas. These groups experienced coercive sterilization in the 1970s that was subsequently addressed by political and court acti ons. We use data from the state-representative Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System in a difference-in-difference analysis that estimates m agnitudes of change in sterilization incidence in two post-Dobbs quarters in seven abortion-ban states\, Alabama\, Missouri\, Oklahoma\, North and South Dakota\, Utah\, and Wyoming\, relative to in abortion-pro tected states. We estimate 8 and 9 percentage-point relative increases in sterilization incidence in the first post-Dobbs quarter respect ively for Native-Americans and immigrant Latinas. This compares to 3 perc entage-point relative increases overall in those states. We conclude that post-Dobbs increases in sterilization incidence among Native-Am ericans and immigrant Latinas reproduced historical coerced sterilization patterns. \;

“\;From Plate to Planet: Making Healthy and Sustainable Diets the Easy Choice. The Parma Experienc e"
Transforming food systems requires making healthy and sustainable choices accessible across the li fe course. This presentation describes the Parma experience\, an ecosyste m combining nutrition education\, environmental change\, digital innovati on\, and community partnerships. The Giocampus Method provides an early-l ife foundation through playful\, interactive education that engages child ren in developing healthy\, sustainable habits. This approach extends acr oss schools\, workplaces\, communities\, clinical settings\, and the Univ ersity of Parma\, where campuses serve as living laboratories for testing scalable interventions. Evidence from cafeteria nudging\, food-waste mon itoring\, participatory programs\, and the Uniplate mHealth application s hows how choice architecture and personalized support can improve dietary behaviors\, increase fiber and vegetable intake\, strengthen adherence t o Mediterranean and Planetary Health dietary patterns\, and reduce waste. Together\, these initiatives demonstrate how multidisciplinary collabora tion\, collective catering\, digital technologies\, and supportive polici es can bridge the gap from knowledge to action\, advancing public health and environmental sustainability at scale\, from plate to planet. \;< /p>

The John Carter Brown Library is please d to announce a year-long exhibition titled "1776 Across the Americas: A Hemispheric History from the Collections of the John Carter Brown Library ."
The exhibition is now on display in the Bromsen Room at the Li brary and is open to the public during regular Reading Room hours. The Jo hn Carter Brown Library's Reading Room is open Monday through Thursday fr om 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.\, and Friday from 1 0 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
Curated by Beatrice and Julio Mario Santo Do mingo Director and Librarian Karin Wulf and JCB 2026 Pos tdoc Program Coordinator Kathleen Telling\, the exhibiti on is part of the initiative 2026 and Beyond at the JCB\, which focuses o n three major themes that reflect the deep strength of the Library's coll ections and research and reveal the fullest and most consequential histor ies of the early Americas: Foundations of Revolution: The Democratic Revo lutions of the Early Americas\; Foundations of Democracy: Freedom of Reli gion and Conscience\; Foundations of Historical Knowledge: How Libraries Make History.
In regard to the exhibition\, the curators explain that\, "The John Carter Brown Library's collections cannot represent a co mprehensive or holistic perspective on 1776 in any one place\, not least the full hemisphere. But the collections of the JCB provide a unique vant age on how largely printed materials– from books and pamphlets to broad sides and maps– were produced in that year and reflected diverse experi ences.Throughout this exhibit\, items of intimate and local consequence a re juxtaposed with those of imperial\, national and international signifi cance and tell the story of 1776 across the Americas through our remarkab le collections."
The exhibition opened on January 30\, 2026 and w ill remain open until the end of the calendar year. We very much hope tha t you will view it either in person or online when the digital version be comes available!

eudo-)incorporation and intentional action
Abstract: Theories of object drop in English have focused primarily on the
properties of the verb and the object which facilitate or prevent droppin
g the object in particular contexts. In this talk\, presenting research c
oauthored with Raffaella Folli at the University of Ulster\, I introduce
a pattern of interaction between object drop and the animacy of the exter
nal argument\, focusing on verbs of contact. Object drop produces an agen
tivity/animacy constraint on the newly intransitive verb which doesn't ex
ist in its transitive counterpart. We show that this effect is pervasive\
, cutting across Fillmore's definite/indefinite categories of object drop
. We demonstrate that the effect also arises in denominal verbs\, singula
r locatives\, (pseudo) noun incorporation\, and bare singular predicate n
ominals\, and that even animate subjects are ill-formed with object drop
in sentences describing 'out-of-control' actions.
Philosophe
rs have long supposed that events are individuated by virtue of their par
ticipant configurations (Strawson 1959\, Carlson 1998). We contend that i
n object drop constructions\, the absence of an event participant creates
a challenge for the application of the predicate by the speaker. A predi
cate which has been subject to object drop\, lacking a crucial event part
icipant\, cannot pick out the same class of events that the transitive ve
rbal predicate does. Instead\, we claim\, intentionality is recruited to
provide sortal content to the verbal predicate\, explaining the requireme
nt that the subject be animate and in control of the event.

In her practice\, Dayanita Singh experi ments with form through photography\, architecture\, and books to create exhibitions. Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc eptual process.
Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

This ability strengthens gradually across development and supports the selection of rewarding actions. To date\, h owever\, it is unclear how people prioritize among the many possible alte rnative actions they could consider\, as well as how the strategic consid eration of these possibilities changes from childhood to early adulthood. In this talk\, I will describe two studies in which we aim to address th ese questions. In Study 1\, we examined how young adults select among mul tiple possible alternatives for consideration. We find evidence that adul ts consider alternatives strategically\, prioritizing learning about the best possible alternative action they could take in the future. We also f ind that they modulate this "upward" counterfactual bias in contexts in w hich it is not adaptive. In Study 2\, which is ongoing\, we are character izing whether and how affective responses to counterfactual information s hape the integration of foregone outcomes into value-guided choice across development. In participants ages 8 to 30 years\, we ask whether feeling s of regret are mere byproducts of mental simulation or whether they func tionally shape the emergence of counterfactual learning. Preliminary resu lts reveal that affect and counterfactual learning are coupled across age \, suggesting that affective responses may scaffold the strategic conside ration of better alternatives from early in life.

Join us for a boo k talk with Fatima Quraishi\, Assistant Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University. A scholar of South Asian ar t and architecture\, Quraishi's research focuses on the visual and materi al cultures of Muslim communities in the premodern period\, with particul ar attention to transregional artistic exchange\, devotional practices\, and the role of artists in cultural formation.
In Palimpsests Past and Present\, Quraishi examines th e Maklī necropolis in Sindh\, Pakistan\, one of South A sia's most significant funerary sites. Established in the late fourteenth century\, Maklī developed over three centuries into a vast complex of m onumental tombs\, mosques\, and graves. Drawing on rarely consulted archi ves in Pakistan and close analysis of the site's architecture\, Quraishi traces how successive generations of rulers\, artisans\, Sufi devotees\, and local communities shaped and reshaped Maklī. The book explores the i ntersection of artistic traditions from across South and Central Asia and considers how funerary spaces acquire new meanings through devotion\, me mory\, and continued use.
Published by the University of North Carolina Press\, the book is part of the Islamic Civil izations and Muslim Networks series.

les\, edge lengths\, and curvature near the corners. This answers three o
pen questions posed in the works of Colbois\, Girouard\, Gordon\, Levitin
\, Parnovski\, Polterovich\, Sher\, and others. These results are based o
n a new scattering theory for the DtN map on asymptotically conic domains
with Lipschitz boundaries in any dimension. This is joint work with Jeff
rey Galkowski and Marcello Malagutti.

This free webinar will provide an overview of the graduate application process by the facu lty from Brown University's doctoral program in Archaeology and the Ancie nt World. They will describe how they review applications to the Ph.D. pr ogram and will share what they look for in a promising application. They will discuss what constitutes a strong personal statement\, who to ask fo r letters of recommendation\, what courses to take to prepare yourself fo r graduate study in archaeology\, and the range of careers that graduates of the program pursue. The webinar seminar provides a rare insider's vie w of the application process and graduate student life.
The webinar is intended for anyone considering applying to g raduate school\, including both applicants applying in the coming admissi on cycle as well as those considering applying in a future year.

Abstract:< /p>
Boltzmann gave a brilliant argument that entropy is almost sure t o be higher in the future\, but\, given the time-symmetry of the laws of nature\, the argument notoriously also has the skeptical implication that entropy is almost sure to have been higher in the past too. This skeptic al result can be avoided if we can justify belief in what David Albert ha s named the Past Hypothesis. This paper examines what could justify that belief. I raise and examine a new challenge for our justification to beli eve the Past Hypothesis. It is difficult to justify belief in the Past Hy pothesis without implying we have similar justification to believe the sk eptical hypothesis that entropy goes down as we look to the future. I con sider the possible responses to this skeptical challenge and find that ea ch of them comes with highly revisionary implications for our worldview.< /p> UID:20261113T200000Z-334810@events.brown.edu DTSTAMP:20260701T084332Z URL:https://events.brown.edu/philosophy/event/334810-philosophy-colloquiu m-boltzmannian-skepticism-about-t CATEGORIES:Conferences and Colloquia,Lectures, Seminars and Workshops,Ope n to the Public LAST-MODIFIED:20261027T115821Z ATTACH:https://events.brown.edu/live/image/gid/151/width/80/height/80/cro p/1/src_region/0,0,400,400/23163_315ff44855809d54a726e8c586da6618910c4812 e16ad3eacc2580fe3adba825_2.rev.1782909838.jpg X-LIVEWHALE-TYPE:events X-LIVEWHALE-ID:334810 X-LIVEWHALE-TIMEZONE:America/New_York X-LIVEWHALE-IMAGE:https://events.brown.edu/live/image/gid/151/width/80/he ight/80/crop/1/src_region/0\,0\,400\,400/23163_315ff44855809d54a726e8c586 da6618910c4812e16ad3eacc2580fe3adba825_2.rev.1782909838.jpg X-LIVEWHALE-TAGS:colloquium|lecture|Philosophy\, Religious Studies END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261113T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261113T183000 LOCATION:280 Brook Street\, Stephen Robert Hall SUMMARY:Imagining Democracy Book Series: : Jack (Chip) Turner: Die Your O wn Death: Walt Whitman's Existential Democracy.

SUMMARY:Brown University Equestrian at Rhode Island Show DESCRIPTION:Brown University Equestrian at Rhode Island Showhttps://brown bears.com/calendar.aspx?game_id=20999&\;sport_id=3 (https://brownbears .com/calendar.aspx?game_id=20999&\;sport_id=3) X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Brown University Equestrian at Rhode Island ShowResearch on writing and reading in pre- modern worlds often assumes some dependence of writing upon language. Alt hough awareness of nonlinguistic signs is not new\, and is not surprising to anyone who adds a GIF\, emoji\, or a humble smiley to a text message from time to time\, many times these phenomena are regarded as the except ion to the rule. The attention given in recent years to the cross-cultura l nature of what Houston called "writing that isn't\," that is\, graphic marks that evoke script but do not convey linguistic meaning (Houston 201 8)\, complicates this picture. Such writing in some cases targets "meanin g by direct entrée\, without passing through records of sound" (Houston and Bodel\, 2021) or it traverses to the world of languageless sound in t he case of musical notation – and in any case\, it operates beyond lang uage.
Rather than defining non-lingual writing and reading as a p roblem\, a new framework that problematizes the relationship of linguisti c signs to their extralinguistic counterparts is called for. Humans have made graphic marks for tens of thousands of years\, but among these varie d graphs\, linguistic signs are a relative newcomer. In a sense\, such a subversion of signs to language does not fully define modern writing syst ems\, given how writing "figures into assertions of identity" (Houston an d Rojas 2018\, 255) and the role of stigmatology in modern writing (Szend y 2018). This is all the more true in the cultures dealt with in this wor kshop\, where the same verb is used for some or all the actions different iated in English as "writing\," "drawing\," "punctuating\," and "marking. " \;
This workshop\, organized by Lilla Attar and Paul Tambur ro\, will the explore the topic of these "non-lingual" marks. \;

This is a time for praye r\, meditation\, music\, and conversation open to all. Students of all sp iritual backgrounds are welcome.
These devotional meetings are fa cilitated by Paul Smith (paul_smith@brown.edu)\, a volunteer Religious Life Affiliate for the Baha'i Faith at Brown. The content of the gathering will include the contributions of those att ending who wish to bring prayers\, scripture readings\, songs\, or other artistic offerings from their own spiritual background or religious tradi tion. While primarily focused on students at all levels\, this gathering welcomes staff and faculty as well.
Members of the Baha'i Faith ( https://bahai.org) en courage and welcome people of all spiritual backgrounds (including none a t all). Baha'is believe that all the world's religions come from the same Source\, and that all people can be welcomed into the activities of a wo rldwide grassroots community-building effort. Baha'i teachings include th e equality of women and men\, the harmony of science and religion\, the e limination of prejudice of all kinds\, racial and social justice\, and th e oneness of all humankind. Since 1844\, the independent worldwide Baha'i community has been building a new global civilization from the ground up following these teachings\, person by person\, neighborhood by neighborh ood.

New Data. Real Voices. A Statewid e Conversation on Behavioral Health.
Join us for a first look at new findings from Rhode Island Voices\, exploring how Rhode Isla nders view behavioral health and well-being today.
You will learn how residents view access to care\, provider availability\, trusted heal th information and the factors influencing the well-being of young people . Then you will join fellow leaders and community partners in exploring w hat these insights mean for Rhode Island and where we can work together t o drive meaningful change.
Rhode Island Voices is a project of th e RI Life Index\, a partnership between Blue Cross &\; Blue Shield of Rhode Island and the Brown University School of Public Health\, engaging a statewide online panel of nearly 1\,000 Rhode Islanders to inform actio n on issues that shape health\, well-being\, and quality of life.

The presentation and Q&\;A are scheduled from 11 :00am – 12:00pm\, with time available afterward for continued informal conversation. Lunch is provided with registration.

In the 2010s\, the United States faced 119 billion-dollar disasters\, totaling roughly $802 billion and claiming over 5\,200 lives. Research also shows that these environmental disrupti ons are occurring more frequently and with higher intensity (Davis\, 2020 ). My central research focus will address how environmental disasters imp act schooling communities\; specifically\, how such events interrupt lear ning for students\, interfere with educators' practices within and outsid e of the classroom\, and hinder families from recovering long-term. In th is presentation\, I will summarize recent studies on community-centered s trategies that support schools\, students\, and their families after haza rds. I will also share my own lessons learned from collecting data across a diverse landscape in multiple regions of the USA. Although the studies in this presentation occurred in divergent environments\, my lessons lea rned from these projects remain consistent: respondents acknowledged that the storms exacerbate preexisting inequalities and demand a just recover y that enables them to truly recover and return to a better\, healthier s tate than before the event.
Cassandra R. Davis is an Assistant Pr ofessor in the Department of Public Policy at the University of North Car olina at Chapel Hill. Her work exposes the extent to which targeted group s (e.g.\, communities of color\, low-income\, etc.)\, who are already mor e susceptible to environmental disruptions\, are made more vulnerable fol lowing an event. She defines environmental disruptions as anything from h urricanes to viral pandemics and intends to identify best-practices to su pport these groups\, as well as educators\, interested stakeholders\, and policymakers.

Self-similar measures are among the simplest examp les of stationary measures\, yet they are intricate to study. A similarit y is a map from R^d to itself that uniformly scales distances and a self- similar measure is a stationary measure arising from the action of contra cting similarities on R^d. The support of a self-similar measure is calle d a self-similar set\, which is a central object in fractal geometry. Exa mples for self-similar sets are the Sierpinski triangle or the Menger spo nge. The central question of interest for self-similar sets is to determi ne their Hausdorff dimension. More generally\, one can also study the dim ension of self-similar measures. The exact overlaps conjecture predicts a formula for the dimension of self-similar measures and therefore also o f self-similar sets.

"Happy families are all alike\; every u nhappy family is unhappy in its own way" — Leo Tolstoy
"Like fa milies\, tidy datasets are all alike but every messy dataset is messy in its own way." — Hadley Wickham
Whatever your discipline\, proje ct\, tool of choice\, clean data and messy data are an inescapable dichot omy of all data work. This workshop introduces you to a clear\, practical paradigm for working with the notoriously un-clear realm of raw data. Fo r this session\, we will focus in particular on strategies relevant to ap plied data analytics\, and use a mixture of Google Sheets\, OpenRefine\, and Tableau to demonstrate and explore cleaning principles.
By th e end\, you will walk away with specific actionable skills for future enc ounters with messy data in professional data analytics contexts.
This workshop is open to participants with or without programming experie nce. We use examples from the social sciences and humanities like governm ent agency data and scanned monographs.

Using the se mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audiences to question how boo ks\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This s how takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." With Singh's Book Build ing (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibition analyzes book-making as an ar tistic practice\, material form\, and conceptual process. Works in the e xhibition span Singh's career\, including Book Building (2022)\, Blue Boo k (2009)\, File Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a Letter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\, sequence s\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book that become s its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see ho w the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, casting light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attunes us to th e gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display.

This summer\, I returned to the French overseas island departmentof La R union (located east of Madagascar) to continue fieldwork for my second b ook. The project focuses on the fraught relationship between Western psyc hiatry and local\, magico-religious healing traditions. In Réunion\, the descendants of East African and Malagasy slaves (les Kafs)\, and of Tami l indentured servants (les Malbars)\, are frequently possessed by ancestr al spirits. When unaccompanied by the proper ceremonial structures\, spir it possession often manifests as uncontrollable suffering. Both Kaf and M albar communities have rich ceremonial practices that allow people to liv e well with these spirits. But often\, Réunionnais find themselves cut o ff from these ritual structures. Still others prefer not to participate i n these practices\, despite experiencing symptoms that are culturally pat terned by the very mytho-ritual complexes they disavow. In such cases\, R éunionnais may turn to the island's increasingly robust psychiatric inst itutions\, which have witnessed a major surge in investment from the Fren ch state over the past decade. My book will trace the complex negotiation s that result when Réunionais\, and their healers\, are caught between d iverse idioms of suffering and healing. In the coming years\, I will be d rafting applications for early career stage grants to fund long-term fiel dwork in La Réunion.

Title: Understanding the Health Impacts of Health System Capacity Constraints Across the Breast Cancer C ontinuum in Mexico
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer d eaths among women in Mexico\, partly due to delays in diagnosis and treat ment. Despite increased screening efforts\, 85% of cases are diagnosed af ter symptoms emerge\, only 27% of women receive screening\, and wait time s for diagnosis and treatment have not improved. Mathematical modeling in creasingly informs cancer control policies\, yet most analyses are suited to well-resourced healthcare systems and neglect capacity constraints st emming from insufficient healthcare resources (e.g.\, personnel\, infrast ructure\, or budget). This oversight may bias estimates of intervention i mpact and pose challenges for decision-makers in Mexico in allocating res ources effectively across the cancer care continuum\, from screening to d iagnosis and treatment\, to improve breast cancer outcomes. Using real-wo rld data from Mexico\, we model variations in screening\, diagnosis\, and treatment capacity simultaneously to examine their effects on breast can cer mortality and wait times\, highlighting key capacity-building opportu nities across the cancer care continuum. The policy evaluation emphasizes that increasing screening capacity requires careful planning\, as a surg e in screening without adequate confirmatory diagnostics and treatment co ordination can overwhelm the health system\, leading to delays and worse outcomes. This work outlines methods for incorporating multiple health sy stem constraints into decision-analytic models and introduces a novel hea lth policy tool that helps decision-makers balance adjustments across scr eening\, diagnosis\, and treatment capacity while navigating trade-offs u nder resource constraints.

Continual Learning and Adaptation
through indirect second order methods
The goal of
this research is to build multi-robot systems that are capable of learnin
g continually from streams of experience. In order to do so\, the robots
must be equipped to solve a sequential decision-making problem at deploym
ent time. Modern robots are typically endowed with neural networks to sol
ve such problems\; however\, these networks are usually trained in simula
tion and frozen at deployment time. Moreover\, neural networks that are t
rained for prolonged periods over many different tasks suffer from a path
ology called loss of plasticity\, where they are no longer able to learn.
For a neural network to remain useful for continual learning during depl
oyment\, it must remain plastic.
In this proposal\, I show t
hat the second-order matrix of neural network parameters\, called the los
s Hessian\, contains a spectral structure that is essential for preservin
g their plasticity. First\, I investigate the Hessian in the context of b
i-level optimization\, where second-order information arises naturally. I
find that a randomized approximation called the Nyström method can be u
sed to approximate the inverse Hessian to find an approximate solution of
a bi-level optimization problem with high probability. Next\, I investig
ate the eigenspectrum of the Hessian and show that loss of plasticity is
preceded by the collapse of this spectrum. Moreover\, methods that preven
t this collapse are able to preserve plasticity across supervised learnin
g and reinforcement learning.
Finally\, in my proposed work\
, I will show that a highly parallelizable zeroth-order reinforcement lea
rning algorithm also preserves plasticity. This algorithm will be deploye
d to a drone microcontroller to learn the flight control policy entirely
on device. I aim to show that this algorithm can continually improve with
additional real-world flight time\, which scales as the number of traina
ble robots grows. With these contributions\, this proposed thesis aims to
advance the goal of multi-robot systems that can learn forever\, even as
the world around them changes.

What biases an d obstacles get in the way when companies seek to attract\, retain\, and reward the most talented employees? Given the widespread goals of promoti ng meritocracy and creating opportunities within organizations\, Professo r Emilio J. Castilla investigates the role merit\, performance evalua tions\, and talent-management practices play in shaping careers and workp lace inequality.
Drawing from over a decade of research across multiple organizations and featured in his recent book\,The Meritoc racy Paradox(Columbia University Press)\, Professor Castilla will discuss key findings on achieving true meritocracy and excellence in modern workplaces.
A bout the Speaker:
Emilio J. Castilla is the NTU Professor of Management an d Professor of Work and Organization Studies at the MIT Sloan School of M anagement\, where he also co-directs the Institute for Work and Employmen t Research (IWER). His research examines how organizational practi ces shape careers\, opportunity\, and workplace inequality\, particularly through hiring\, performance evaluation\, and promotion. He is the autho r of The Meritocracy P aradox: Where Talent Management Strategies Go Wrong and How to Fix Them.

Using the se mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audiences to question how boo ks\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This s how takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." With Singh's Book Build ing (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibition analyzes book-making as an ar tistic practice\, material form\, and conceptual process. Works in the e xhibition span Singh's career\, including Book Building (2022)\, Blue Boo k (2009)\, File Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a Letter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\, sequence s\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book that become s its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see ho w the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, casting light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attunes us to th e gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibition asks: ho w can architecture\, photography and books transform our relationship to institutional spaces and our role within them? — Curated by Miranda Cu ozzo\, Anna Douglas\, Benet Ge\, Nida Jaffer\, Monaye Johnson\, Verda Kar aoğlu\, Luvuyo Nyawose\, Tristan Whalen\, Chuyu Xiong\, Joey Young\, and Ray Zhang (History of Art and Architecture Practicum 2025\, Museum of Po ssibilities)Building Books with Dayanita Singh is co-presented by Brown A rts Institute and History of Art and Architecture.

Title: Dynamical systems theory of embodied perceptual decision-making
Abstract:
Decision-making is a fundament al building block of behavior\, both in natural settings such as animal m ovement and in engineered settings such as autonomous robotics. In both o f these contexts\, decisions are often made on the move through an interp lay of continuously changing sensory information and goal-oriented action selection. In this talk\, we present a dynamical systems framework for u nderstanding how discrete choices emerge through feedback between neural activity and movement through space. Starting from a stochastic ring-attr actor model motivated by biological neural circuits involved in perceptua l evidence integration\, we will show how reduced representations such as competing neural accumulators and local drift-diffusion descriptions of choice arise at different scales of the same process. Bifurcation analysi s of the reduced decision dynamics then reveals how movement reshapes com petition among alternatives\, and how asymmetries in target geometry and quality bias transitions from compromise to commitment captured through m ovement. These results link canonical models of perceptual choice and rev eal how environmental geometry shapes embodied decisions. We will also il lustrate how insights from this biologically inspired modeling and analys is translate to novel design principles for autonomous behavior in mobile robots.

Governments increasingly rely on borrowing to finance welfare\, deve lopment\, and security. While sovereign debt typically offers lower inter est rates and longer maturities\, China has an unusually low share of cen tral government debt in its total public debt. Instead\, subnational gove rnments and quasi-public entities borrow on less favorable and often opaq ue terms\, resulting in pervasive hidden local debt and fiscal waste. Why does Beijing tolerate this costly debt structure rather than replace loc al liabilities with sovereign debt\, even amid mounting debt pressures? D rawing on key informant interviews\, archival research\, and multiple dat a sources\, I argue that Beijing strategically decentralizes default risk but not fiscal authority\, while claiming political credit for debt-fina nced development.

A common remedy is to include (e. g.\, in imputation models) auxiliary variables\, meaning variables not in volved in the estimand of interest.

Second\, we propose an alternative estimator\, MIA ("Marginalizati on over Incomplete Auxiliaries") designed for cases where an unknown form of MNAR holds and complete or incomplete auxiliary variables may be avai lable. In two common situations: (1) when every auxiliary variable is inc omplete (i.e.\, has some missingness)\; or (2) when the covariates X are complete but the outcome Y is incomplete\, MIA is correct whenever MAR es timators are\, barring knife-edge exceptions\, and is additionally correc t under a broad class of MNAR mechanisms in which MAR estimators fail.

Please join the Department of Portugues e &\; Brazilian Studies on Wednesday\, November 18 from 12:00-1:30 for a book launch of Across Continents: Writing Goans\, Making Worlds 60\;(R. Benedito Ferrão). The launch will include a conversation wi th the author\, Lucas Joshi\, and Leila Lehnen. \;
Across Continents: Writing Goans\, Making Worlds (U niversity of Michigan Press 2026) is the first study of literature about the multicontinental displacement of minoritized subjects due to Portugue se colonialism. Its primary focus is Goan characters whose movements conn ect Asia\, Africa\, and the west in 20th and 21st century fiction. Goa wa s a Portuguese colony from 1510 to 1961 and during this long span of time \, this small South Asian region was the capital of Portugal's eastern em pire\, a network that connected it to Europe and Africa. In its analysis of fiction\, Across Continents creates a dialogue between postco lonial\, diasporic\, and Afro-Asiatic studies. Due to its investigation o f Portuguese colonialism\, the book offers an alternative to usual unders tandings of postcolonialism as being related primarily to British imperia lism. Instead\, Across Continents considers the relationship bet ween these colonialisms through the displacement of Goan characters acros s multiple continental regions. In so doing\, Across Continents highlights the cultural\, historical\, and political linkages between mul tiple continents\, as well as Indian and Atlantic ocean worlds.
Benedito Ferrão is an Associate Professor of E nglish and Asian &\; Pacific Islander American Studies at William & \; Mary. He has been the recipient of fellowships from the Fulbright\, Me llon\, Endeavour\, and Rotary programs\, the Bayreuth Academy of Advanced African Studies\, and the American Institute of Indian Studies. William &\; Mary named him University Professor for Teaching Excellence for 20 25-28. In 2026-27\, he serves as the Dr. Thomas Tam Visiting Professor of Asian American Studies at City University of New York's Asian American/A sian Research Institute.
His books include Across Continents: Writing Goans\, Making Worlds (2026) and the edited volume\, Go a\, Portugal\, Mozambique: The Many Lives of Vamona Navelcar (2017)\ , which accompanied an exhibition of the same title that he curated at Fu ndação Oriente\, Goa. He has also curated exhibitions for the artists K arishma D'Souza\, Angela Ferrão\, and Maria Vanessa de Sa with whom he c o-published The Girl Who was the Color of Nothing: A Children's Story for Adults (2026).

These cases are often hailed as victories for the rule of law\, yet they also pit courts against powerful elites who control judicial bud gets\, appointments\, and who can reshape the very rules under which cour ts operate. This talk presents a backlash theory of how such conflicts un fold: by convicting former leaders for corruption\, courts become targets \, and political elites use their influence to retaliate in ways that wea ken judicial power and authority. Drawing on original data covering every conviction of a former head of government worldwide since the 1940s\, al ong with case evidence from Latin America\, the talk shows that these con victions tend to be followed by initiatives through which governing elite s gradually chip away at the foundations of judicial power. The backlash is strongest where courts are independent enough to constrain elected off icials\, since that is where convictions signal a credible risk of prosec ution for a broad swath of the political class. This pattern links antico rruption prosecutions to a central concern in the study of democratic ero sion: the gradual dismantling of institutional constraints\, frequently t hrough legal and constitutional means\, with independent courts often amo ng the first targets. The findings show that holding former leaders accou ntable can expose courts to retaliation\, shed light on the pressures fac ing prosecutors and judges in Latin America and beyond\, and pose hard qu estions for anticorruption practice and efforts to protect democratic ins titutions.

Talk Title: Toward Socia l-Ecosystem-Aware AI for Interpersonal Support
Abstract:
Millions of people now use AI for social purposes\, from s eeking support and companionship to consulting interpersonal advice. As A I participates in social lives\, it can reshape how people navigate inter personal decisions and form social expectations. This talk presents findi ngs from a series of our lab's recent projects examining AI's role in soc ial interaction:
First\, we examine the relational consequences o f AI companionship. Through a systematic review spanning relationship sci ence and AI safety research\, we find that human-AI relationships do not introduce fundamentally new categories of relational harm. Instead\, AI's engagement-optimizing behaviors\, particularly those absent from human r elationships (e.g.\, interactions without natural endpoint)\, create nove l mechanisms that amplify existing relational risks. We further analyze 4 7K conversations from over 300 users who reported forming relationships w ith AI. While relational harm rarely manifests at the turn level\, users exhibiting signs of relational harm show stronger emotional dependence\, suggesting an alternative approach to safety monitoring.
Second\, we investigate how AI shapes interpersonal decision-making. Interviews a nd diary studies suggest users view AI primarily as a tool for analyzing complex social situations rather than receiving direct advice. However\, controlled experiments reveal participants predominantly refine and perso nalize AI-generated suggestions instead of generating independent strateg ies. AI assistance also increases users' willingness to adopt conciliator y behaviors\, such as initiating apologies.
Finally\, our ongoing work explores AI reasoning about group interactions. We develop a social science-grounded benchmark of 76 real-world group conversations to evalu ate leading LLMs' understanding of group dynamics. Although current model s often under-detect misaligned mental models\, they can provide more cal ibrated judgments when human reasoning is biased by social expectations. In an ongoing project\, we conduct in-situ studies in which small groups interact while participants report their evolving interpretations of grou p dynamics in real time. We compare these judgments with those generated by multi-agent LLM systems and welcome feedback on this ongoing work.

Drawing from Ill Erotics—the f irst book-length ethnographic study on Black girls and women living with HIV in the Anglophone Caribbean—this talk examines how women's everyday experiences contrast with widely circulated "End of AIDS" crisis narrati ves. Professor Jolly will explore the politics of HIV care and self-maki ng in young Black women's lives as they navigate illness\, reproductive v iolence\, and structural inequality. She will highlight how young women's grassroots care practices build a vital Black feminist infrastructure— one that centers interdependence\, sexual agency\, and political mobiliza tion while transforming discourses of shame into collective power.About t he Speaker:Jallicia Jolly is Assistant Professor of Black Studies and Ame rican Studies at Amherst College.

Drawing from Ill Erotics—the first book-length e thnographic study on Black girls and women living with HIV in the Angloph one Caribbean—this talk examines how women's everyday experiences contr ast with widely circulated "End of AIDS" crisis narratives.
Professor Jolly will explore the politics of HIV care and self-making in young Black women's lives as they navigate illness\, reproductive viol ence\, and structural inequality. She will highlight how young women's gr assroots care practices build a vital Black feminist infrastructure—one that centers interdependence\, sexual agency\, and political mobilizatio n while transforming discourses of shame into collective power.
About the Speaker:
Jallicia Jolly is Assistant Professor of Blac k Studies and American Studies at Amherst College. She is the founder and director of the Black Feminist Reproductive Justice\, Equity &\; HIV/ AIDS Activism (BREHA) Collective\, an interdisciplinary medical humanitie s lab.
This event is part of the Pembroke Center's Critical Health Studies Working Group\, led by Professor Madina Agénor\, Associate Professor of Behavioral and Social S ciences.

Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc eptual process.
Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

You are invited to contribute to an uplifting conversation that aims to help bring about unity and justice i n a very divided world. This week's topic will be "Consciousness of Self and the Human Spirit".
What makes us conscious o f our individual self\, as different from that same awareness of all othe r humans on the planet? What does it mean to say we each are/have a uniqu e soul? How should we relate to our fellow human beings\, who we perceive as also each having a unique consciousness of themselves? What makes us brothers/sisters/friends instead of others/strangers/enemies?
Thi s event is facilitated by Paul Smith (paul_smith@brown.edu)\, a volunteer Religious Life Affiliate for t he Baha'i Faith at Brown. He is available for individual consultation or e-mail discussion with any interested student or group of students. While primarily focused on students at all levels\, the Baha'i Faith at Brown welcomes staff and faculty as well.
Members of the Baha'i Faith ( https://bahai.org) encourage and welcome people of all spiritual backgrounds (including none at all). Baha'is bel ieve that all the world's religions come from the same Source\, and that all people can be welcomed into the activities of a worldwide grassroots community-building effort. Baha'i teachings include the equality of women and men\, the harmony of science and religion\, the elimination of preju dice of all kinds\, racial and social justice\, and the oneness of all hu mankind. Since 1844\, the independent worldwide Baha'i community has been building a new global civilization from the ground up following these te achings\, person by person\, neighborhood by neighborhood.
If you would like to learn more\, or to be put on an e-mail list for the Baha'i Faith at Brown\, contact bahai-fa ith@brown.edu.

W ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc eptual process.
Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

From the commissioning of court cookbooks by Abbasid caliphs and the cultivation of Persian Gul f dates for eighteenth-century Indian Ocean tastes to the more recent pop ularization of the "Mediterranean diet" and the engineering of famines in Palestine and Yemen\, the politics and culture of food have been central to understanding life in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Nevert heless\, the growing field of global food studies generally neglects MENA . On the other hand\, a wave of studies by regional specialists in the la st two decades have illuminated the ties between intimate experience of f ood and drink to broader processes ranging from commerce\, migration and governance to popular memory and environmental change —without always r egistering connections to the wider literature on food studies. What migh t be gained by bringing these bodies of scholarship together?
To that end\, the Center for Middle East Studies at Brown University will ho ld a one-day workshop\, "A Seat at the Table: Making Space for the Middle East and North Africa in Global Food Studies\," in Fall 2026. This works hop will give scholars the chance to share drafts of article-length works on food and foodways in MENA from approximately 1500 to the present. Thi s material will demonstrate\, on the one hand\, the theoretical and empir ical importance of MENA to global food studies\, and\, on the other\, how the lens of food and foodways can help us rethink key themes and metanar ratives in Middle East studies. The workshop seeks to feature diverse met hodological perspectives\, including those originating in less-represente d disciplines such as art history\, architecture and musicology. Likewise \, it hopes to solicit research not only from familiar sub-regions like E gypt and the Levant but also less common areas like the Gulf\, and to dev elop theory grounded in the diverse histories and social formations of th e wider MENA region. The organizers plan on collecting submissions for pu blication in an edited volume or special journal issue following revision s based on workshop feedback.

The world is going badly. It is wo rn but its wear no longer counts … We no longer realize the wear\; we n o longer take account of it as of a single age in the progress of history ." Derrida's words\, quoting and paraphrasing Shakespeare\, will set the stage for the 2026 "Political Concepts" conference. Wherever one is on t he political spectrum\, the direction of events seems bleak\; silver lini ngs are hard to find. The extremity of the current upheavals\, whether in the U.S. or across the globe\, driven by direct or indirect American imp act\, or lying outside its influence\, is undeniable. Perhaps other crise s were experienced as no less "unprecedented" and "disruptive\," but none has been so transformatively planetary\, at one and the same time destro ying global networks and formations of international relations and creati ng new ones. In this conference\, a cohort of eight scholars at Brown Un iversity will reflect on concepts that may be revised\, deconstructed\, o r invented to face the critical challenges of this time.If you have quest ions or require accommodations\, please contact humanities-institute@brow n.eduor (401) 863-6070.

Derrida's words\, quoting and paraphrasi ng Shakespeare\, will set the stage for the 2026 "Political Concepts" con ference. Wherever one is on the political spectrum\, the direction of eve nts seems bleak\; silver linings are hard to find. The extremity of the c urrent upheavals\, whether in the U.S. or across the globe\, driven by di rect or indirect American impact\, or lying outside its influence\, is un deniable. Perhaps other crises were experienced as no less "unprecedented " and "disruptive\," but none has been so transformatively planetary\, at one and the same time destroying global networks and formations of inter national relations and creating new ones.
In this conference\, a cohort of eight scholars at Brown University will reflect on concepts tha t may be revised\, deconstructed\, or invented to face the critical chall enges of this time.

Abstract: ATLAS\, one of the large-general purpose experiments at the Large Hadron Collide r at CERN\, is preparing major upgrades for the coming high-Luminosity er a. The order-of-magnitude growth in computing demands presents major chal lenges\, but also significant opportunities for re-thinking and re-design ing some of the long-established standards. This talk will discuss some o f the planned changes\, including ways to take on sustainability and open science. Looking further forward\, we will consider what challenges awai t us with the future colliders currently under development\, and discuss how the HL-LHC developments pave the way for the future of HEP\, and more broadly scientific software and computing. \;

Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc eptual process.
Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

About the book
In eig hteenth-century America\, genealogy was more than a simple record of fami ly ties–it was a powerful force that shaped society. Lineage delves int o an era where individuals\, families\, and institutions meticulously doc umented their connections. Whether driven by personal passion or mandated by churches\, local governments\, and courts\, these records appeared in diverse forms-from handwritten notes and account books to intricate silk threads and enduring stone carvings.
Family connections wiel ded significant influence across governmental\, legal\, religious\, cultu ral\, and social spheres. In the American context\, these ties also defin ed the boundaries of slavery and freedom\, with a child's status often de termined by their mother\, despite the prevailing patriarchy. This book r eveals the profound importance of genealogy that was chronicled by family records\, cultural artifacts\, and court documents. These materials\, cr eated by both enslaved individuals seeking freedom and founding fathers s eeking status\, demonstrate the culturally and historically specific natu re of genealogical interest.
Even as the American Revolution transformed society\, the significance of genealogy endured. The legacy o f lineage from the colonial period continued to shape the early United St ates\, underscoring the enduring importance of family connections. Lineag e offers a deep understanding of genealogy as a foundational element of A merican history\, illuminating its vital role from the colonial era throu gh the birth of the nation.

Moving across performance\, sc ulpture\, photography\, and public intervention\, Cassils examines trans* embodiment through encounters with light\, clay\, water\, fire\, atmosph ere\, and the systems of power through which bodies and environments are shaped. Drawing from works including "Becoming an Image\," "Etched in Li ght\," "Tiresias\," and "Inextinguishable Fire\," Cassils considers how b odies make and are made by the material worlds they inhabit — how light can reveal and obscure\, fire can destroy and transform\, and water can become a medium for memory\, collectivity\, and change. The talk will als o consider "In Plain Sight" and "Undersight\," large-scale public works t hat engage the sky as a democratic canvas. Using skywriting and high-powe red light beams to transmit language across vast distances\, these works turn the atmosphere into a site of communication and collective address\, asking who is rendered visible\, who is disappeared\, and how public spa ce itself can be reclaimed. Across these works\, Cassils asks what becom es possible when the body is understood not as separate from its environm ent\, but as porous\, contingent\, and continually transformed through co ntact with materials\, histories\, other bodies\, and more-than-human for ces. The talk will be followed with a conversation with Macarena Gómez- Barris\, Director of the Center for Environmental Humanities at Brown (CE HAB).Free and open to the public. If you have questions or require accomm odations\, please contact environmental-humanities@brown.eduor (401) 863- 6070. About the SpeakerCassils is a Canadian transgender artist who make s their body the material and protagonist of their performances. Cassils' art contemplates the history(s) of LGBTQI+ violence\, representation\, s truggle\, and empowerment. For Cassils\, performance is a form of social sculpture: Drawing from the idea that bodies are formed in relation to fo rces of power and social expectations\, Cassils' work investigates histor ical contexts to examine the present moment. Employing a myriad of visual tactics — outlines and silhouettes\, solar exposures\, retinal burns\, flashes\, and Rorschach devices — Cassils aims to complicate the condi tions of trans* visibility in a moment of heightened violence. Cassils' solo exhibitions include: SITE Santa Fe\, NM\; the Banff Center for Art a nd Creativity\; the Victoria Albert Museum and the Barbican\, UK\; the Pe rth Institute for Contemporary Arts\, AU\; the Ronald Feldman Fine Arts\, NYC\; and MU Eindhoven\, Netherlands. Their performances and art works h ave been presented internationally including at London's National Theater and Southbank Center\, MASS MoCA\, MUCEM\, the Deutsches Historisches Mu seum and the Schwules Museum\, MUCA Roma\, the Sundance International Fil m Festival\, and the Broad\, LA.

In her practice\, Dayanita Singh experi ments with form through photography\, architecture\, and books to create exhibitions. Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc eptual process.
Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

Reinforcement Learning from Seque
nces
Reinforcement learning tackles sequential deci
sion making by reasoning about individualtime steps. An agent's input is
partitioned over states\, where we try to predict andmaximize the value o
ver each state. While reasoning over individual time steps allowsus clean
theoretical results\, it comes with many limitations. Most pressing of a
ll is theinability to learn the sequential\, multi-step properties of gen
eral sequential decision making.In this dissertation\, we explore how to
leverage sequential data in decision making. Weshow that consideration fo
r past and future data allows for gains in a range of problemsettings: fr
om non-Markov settings that require historical information\, to settings
thatdon't\, and to settings where even historical information is insuffic
ient.

In regard to the exhibition\, the curators explain that \, "The John Carter Brown Library's collections cannot represent a compre hensive or holistic perspective on 1776 in any one place\, not least the full hemisphere. But the collections of the JCB provide a unique vantage on how largely printed materials– from books and pamphlets to broadside s and maps– were produced in that year and reflected diverse experience s.Throughout this exhibit\, items of intimate and local consequence are j uxtaposed with those of imperial\, national and international significanc e and tell the story of 1776 across the Americas through our remarkable c ollections." The exhibition opened on January 30\, 2026 and will remain open until the end of the calendar year.

Using these mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audienc es to question how books\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This show takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." W ith Singh's Book Building (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibitio n analyzes book-making as an artistic practice\, material form\, and conc eptual process.
Works in the exhibition span Singh's career\, inc luding Book Building (2022)\, Blue Book (2009)\, Fi le Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a L etter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\ , sequences\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book t hat becomes its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see how the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, cast ing light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attune s us to the gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibitio n asks: how can architecture\, photography and books transform our relati onship to institutional spaces and our role within them?

Using the se mediums\, Singh extends an invitation to audiences to question how boo ks\, and book-making\, might transform a space into an exhibition. This s how takes cues from Singh's artist-led approach to exhibitions to explore the relationship between "making" and "reading." With Singh's Book Build ing (2022) as a blueprint\, this exhibition analyzes book-making as an ar tistic practice\, material form\, and conceptual process. Works in the e xhibition span Singh's career\, including Book Building (2022)\, Blue Boo k (2009)\, File Room (2013)\, Museum of Chance (2014)\, and Sent a Letter (2008). The experimental forms of these books emphasize grids\, sequence s\, and folds\, which also play into the space of the gallery. While you move through the exhibition\, you will be able to make a book that become s its catalogue. You can also find portable pinhole viewfinders to see ho w the sun turns the gallery's architecture into a camera\, casting light and shadow throughout the space. The floorplan similarly attunes us to th e gallery's grids\, echoing the forms within Singh's books and those they make on display. Using Singh's works as a lens\, the exhibition asks: ho w can architecture\, photography and books transform our relationship to institutional spaces and our role within them? — Curated by Miranda Cu ozzo\, Anna Douglas\, Benet Ge\, Nida Jaffer\, Monaye Johnson\, Verda Kar aoğlu\, Luvuyo Nyawose\, Tristan Whalen\, Chuyu Xiong\, Joey Young\, and Ray Zhang (History of Art and Architecture Practicum 2025\, Museum of Po ssibilities)Building Books with Dayanita Singh is co-presented by Brown A rts Institute and History of Art and Architecture.

In regard to the exhibition\, the curators explain that \, "The John Carter Brown Library's collections cannot represent a compre hensive or holistic perspective on 1776 in any one place\, not least the full hemisphere. But the collections of the JCB provide a unique vantage on how largely printed materials– from books and pamphlets to broadside s and maps– were produced in that year and reflected diverse experience s.Throughout this exhibit\, items of intimate and local consequence are j uxtaposed with those of imperial\, national and international significanc e and tell the story of 1776 across the Americas through our remarkable c ollections." The exhibition opened on January 30\, 2026 and will remain open until the end of the calendar year. We very much hope that you will view it either in person or online when the digital version becomes avail able! For more information\, visit us at jcblibrary.org (http://jcblibra ry.org).
