On the eve of the Second World War, he extensively documented Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe. After fleeing Nazi Germany, he found safety in New York City and became a US citizen in 1946. The <a tabindex="0" href="https://live-magnes-wp.pantheon.berkeley.edu/collections/museum/jewish-art/vishniac/">Roman Vishniac Archive</a>, which The Magnes acquired in 2018, also includes thousands of photographs taken after World War II in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. Vishniac had been collaborating with New York’s Jewish Daily Forward—then the “world’s largest Jewish daily”—from Europe since 1938. In the summer of 1947, the newspaper sent him from the United States to France and Germany, to visit “various cities… to obtain photographs and stories of human and general interest,” and most notably, to photograph Jews living in displaced persons camps. The journey, sponsored by the American Joint Distribution Committee and the United Jewish Appeal, took him back to Berlin. The haunting photographs of his former hometown devastated by the effect of the war show collapsed buildings and cathedrals, refugee camps, and civic parks turned into vegetable gardens. They also portray his old neighborhood, Charlottenburg, which had once housed many of the city’s Jewish residents; his home, now in ruins; and the timid resurgence of urban life in a city split across American, British, French, and Soviet-controlled sectors. A few weeks after the Six-Day War in the summer of 1967, Roman Vishniac traveled to Israel. He met family, friends, and colleagues, and visited public institutions and natural sights. He also spent several days in Jerusalem, which had just fallen under Israeli control. There, he took color transparencies (slides), as visual eld notes for a never-realized future project to photographically document the still-emerging State of Israel in many of its already apparent contradictions. Vishniac depicted the damage to buildings and the remaining fortifications of the siege of Mount Scopus; the former “no man’s land” between Israel and Jordan; the dire state of the area near the Western Wall in the Old City; and the rebuilding of the city across its contested borders. He also took a deep view of the conditions of the Arab residents in East Jerusalem, a perspective that is consistent with his ongoing focus on disenfranchised communities in Europe and the United States.Cities and Wars follows Vishniac’s journeys to Berlin and Jerusalem, displaying large-format black & white photographic prints from negatives shot in Berlin, along with digital displays of color slides from Jerusalem. Both are cities that the photographer considered “home,” each in a very different and unique way: Berlin, a once fabled, and then lost, haven where he had begun his life as a documentary photographer; and Jerusalem, which catered to his deep connection with the Jewish experience. Most of the images included in the exhibition have never been seen in public before. Together they highlight the unique gaze of the photographer, along with a careful chronicling of the effects of war on urban life that remain all too familiar to the contemporary viewer.<a href="https://magnes.berkeley.edu/exhibitions/cities-wars-roman-vishniac-in-berlin-jerusalem-1947-1967/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn more</a></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/Magnes/event/219853-cities-and-wars-roman-vishniac-in-berlin-and</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, Sept. 8, 2023</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/196579-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/196579-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, Sept. 13, 2023</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/212439-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/212439-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>EXHIBIT: A Storied Campus: Cal in Fiction, Oct. 24, 2023</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/222912-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</link><description> Mention of the name University of California, Berkeley, evokes a range of images: a celebrated institution, a seat of innovation, protests and activism, iconic architecture, colorful traditions, and … literary muse? The campus has long sparked the creativity of fiction writers, inspiring them to use it as a backdrop, a key player, or a barely disguised character within their tales. This exhibition highlights examples of these portrayals through book covers, excerpts, illustrations, photographs, and other materials largely selected from the University Archives and general collections of The Bancroft Library.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/Library/event/222912-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</guid></item><item><title>Making Music: Math and Science Out Loud, Jan. 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/lhs/event/208907-making-music-math-and-science-out-loud</link><description> Music means many things to many people, but at its core, all music is built on the same scientific and mathematic principles.

This exhibit highlights some of those books and salient examples related to the construction of pop-up books and origami design. Also included are finished works using pop-up folding and cutting techniques.This small, fun, exhibit – appropriate for children and creative-aspiring adults – will hopefully leave you thinking, “I can do that!”The Environmental Design Library’s pop-up book collection was started to entertain the children of our students who needed a quiet moment in the library, and has since grown to more than 60 volumes.

It features the work of the architects, landscape architects, and planners who were involved in BART’s initial design. Many of these, including Donn Emmons, Tallie B. Maule, Ernest Born, Vernon DeMars, and Lawrence Halprin, had connections to the College of Environmental Design, and most of the materials in the exhibition are drawn from the Environmental Design Archives. </div><div class="block block--core-paragraph mb-9"> BART leadership, hoping to lure middle-class passengers commuting from Bay Area suburbs to downtown San Francisco, wanted “esthetically pleasing” stations surrounded by landscapes that would both enhance the rider’s experience and “make a contribution to the community through which [BART] passes.” </div><div class="block block--core-paragraph mb-9"> Despite minimal budgets, many of the designers saw the assignment as an opportunity to make a contribution to the region’s design reputation. They seized on the chance to apply new theories and methods to the type of project they believed would characterize the majority of the work for the next generation of architects. </div><div class="block block--core-paragraph mb-9"> The exhibition, on view in the Environmental Design Library’s Judith Stronach / Raymond Lifchez Exhibit Cases during regular <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/environmental-design">library hours</a>, includes sections on early plans for BART, the design of the cars and logo, the elevated track and linear parkway in the East Bay, urban renewal at the Embarcadero station, and the architecture of the Glen Park and El Cerrito del Norte stations. </div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ced/event/245271-along-the-line-designing-and-planning-bart-19631976-e</guid></item><item><title>Theater & Dance Class Showcases, April 24</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/TDPS/event/spring-2024-class-showcases</link><description>From classical theater to modern dance—join us in celebrating creative work throughout the Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies!Showcases are open to the public unless noted with an asterisk*<hr/><h3>Playwrights’ Showcase</h3>Thursday, April 25 6pm – 8pm Durham Studio Theater, Dwinelle Hall Instructor: Philip Gotanda Students will present excerpts from their new plays.

Del Sol’s performances provide the possibility for unexpected discovery, sparking dialogue and bringing people together. Del Sol has commissioned or premiered hundreds of works by composers including Terry Riley, Gabriela Lena Frank, Tania León, Huang Ruo, Frederic Rzewski, Vijay Iyer, Mason Bates, Pamela Z, Chinary Ung, Chen Yi, Andy Akiho, Erberk Eryilmaz, Theresa Wong, and Reza Vali. Many of these works are included on Del Sol’s critically-acclaimed albums. New recordings released in 2023 include The Resonance Between, a collaboration with North Indian musicians Alam Khan, sarode & Arjun Verma, sitar and SPELLLING and The Mystery School with Oakland magical-futurist pop phenomenon SPELLLING. Huang Ruo - A Dust in Time, Del Sol’s eleventh album, was released in 2021 by Bright Shiny Things, and was described in the New York Times as “excavations of beauty from the elemental.” Huang Ruo’s ANGEL ISLAND - Oratorio was commissioned by the Del Sol Quartet to shine a light on local history with global implications. Performances of ANGEL ISLAND in the current season include a New York City premiere directed by Matthew Ozawa and presented by Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival and Beth Morrison’s Prototype Festival in January 2024. Supported by a Hewlett Foundation 50 Commission, the work came to life in 2021 through numerous community programs, culminating in performances on Angel Island inside the immigration station detention barracks. This project has grown into new musical collaborations that allow Del Sol to amplify the voices of the Asian-American community including neighborhood pop-ups with Angel Island descendents “The Last Hoisan Poets,” an ongoing concert series at the Angel Island Immigration Station, and an upcoming podcast series. The Quartet has performed at prestigious venues and festivals worldwide, including the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Esplanade Singapore, National Museum of Asian Art, National Gallery of Art, Symphony Space, Miller Theater, Other Minds Festival, Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, Clefworks Festival, Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, Santa Fe Opera, and Chautauqua Institution. Every spring, Del Sol and Holiday Expeditions lead five-day musical whitewater adventures along the Yampa River. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Del Sol initiated The Joy Project, an ongoing series of outdoor pop-up concerts featuring short commissioned works inspired by the theme of joy. These pieces reached thousands in public spaces around the Bay Area— parks, sidewalks, open-spaces — where people could enjoy the music in the open air. Deeply committed to education, Del Sol enjoys working with young composers. Over the years, talented students they first met through workshops, coaching and residencies have often grown into valued colleagues. Recent residencies include Universities of California at Berkeley, Dartmouth, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UC San Diego, and UC Santa Cruz. They especially value their ongoing relationship with the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music in Boonville, California. delsolquartet.com @delsolquartet Benjamin Kreith & Hyeyung Sol Yoon, violins Charlton Lee, viola Kathryn Bates, cello In addition to musical composition, Reynolds’s recent projects include an innovative collection of texts and images, PASSAGE and a collaborative book exploring the evolution of a house design for him and his partner Karen: Xenakis Creates in Architecture and Music: The Reynolds Desert House (Routledge, 2022). Reynolds is also an influential member of the international consortium, ACTOR, based in Montréal, and the originator of the “Bridging Chasms” initiative [bridginigchasms.org] that seeks to improve cross-disciplinary communications. In 2023, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Reynolds’s music has been published exclusively by Edition Peters New York for over 5 decades. He has been commissioned by the Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, BBC, San Diego, and National symphonies and the Japan Philharmonic; by the British Arts Council, the French Ministry of Culture, Ircam, and the Fromm, Rockefeller, Suntory, and Koussevitzky foundations. A partial listing of Reynolds’s students suggests the scope of his influence. They occupy influential positions at Harvard (Czernowin), SUNY - Buffalo (Felder), University of Michigan (Daugherty), UC Santa Cruz (Carson and Jones), North Texas (May), University of Utah (Curbelo), USC (Rikakis), Arizona State University (Navarro), University of Western Australia (Tonkin), École Nationale de Musique et de Danse d’Évry [Essonne] (Vérin), Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Cuñha), Mozarteum Salzburg (Hiendl), and Beijing Normal University (Zhou). Notable free-lancers include Takasugi (Cambridge), Wallin (Oslo), Greene (San Diego, USA) Kortekangas (Helsinki), and Lin (Taipei), Hembree (Appleton, USA). Reynolds’s work is the subject of a Library of Congress Special Collection and is also represented in the Sacher Stiftung in Basel, and UC San Diego’s Geisel Library. Long friendships with Cage, Nancarrow, Takemitsu and Xenakis inform his outlook in procedural and personal ways. He envisions his own path as entailing the principled weaving together of threads from tradition(s), with novel provocations originating (often) outside music. He conceives of composition as “a process of illumination,” a path toward (occasional) clarity in turbulent times. He seeks the satisfaction of proposing and experiencing unexpected connections, of bringing the elevating capacities of music into public spaces, of engaging with other arts and artists to discover new amalgamations of sensation and insight that can “improve the human experience.”</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/music/event/243319-del-sol-quartet</guid></item><item><title>EXHIBIT: A Storied Campus: Cal in Fiction, April 28</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/223222-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</link><description> Mention of the name University of California, Berkeley, evokes a range of images: a celebrated institution, a seat of innovation, protests and activism, iconic architecture, colorful traditions, and … literary muse?

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229190-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, April 28</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/236433-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art</link><description>Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241405-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Berkeley Creek Walk + Kingman Hall Creek Celebration!, April 28</title><link>https://www.eventbrite.com/e/berkeley-creek-walk-kingman-hall-creek-celebration-tickets-874440032677?aff=oddtdtcreator</link><description/><guid>https://www.eventbrite.com/e/berkeley-creek-walk-kingman-hall-creek-celebration-tickets-874440032677?aff=oddtdtcreator</guid></item><item><title>Five Dollar Day, April 28</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/lhs/event/236909-five-dollar-day</link><description>Visit The Lawrence and enjoy all the hands-on science we offer for just $5 per person.

Due to the fast-growing demand for greater computational power, the electric power consumption of processors has increased dramatically in recent years and is approaching 1000 W, with core logic voltages below 1 V and peak current demand beyond 1000 A. At such high current levels, the large power distribution network (PDN) of the existing two-stage lateral power delivery (LPD) architecture can lead to a dramatic voltage drop and unacceptable conduction losses, which significantly limits processor performance, reduces system energy efficiency, and hinders data center decarbonization and densification. In pursuit of a more efficient and compact alternative to the existing solution, this talk will introduce a family of high-performance 48-V-to-1-V hybrid switched-capacitor (SC) voltage regulators, named the Switching Bus Converter (SBC). Based on a single-stage vertical power delivery (VPD) architecture, the SBC significantly reduces the PDN size and power conversion losses. Moreover, benefiting from the hybrid SC approach, the SBC effectively leverages the greatly superior energy density of capacitors compared to magnetic components, as well as the better figure-of-merit of low-voltage switching devices over high-voltage devices. Various hardware prototypes will be presented, including a 1500-A high-efficiency converter and a high-density converter with a practical form factor for VPD.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245526-dissertation-talk-high-performance-hybrid</guid></item><item><title>Special Chem Bio Seminar, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/chem/event/245592-special-chem-bio-seminar</link><description>Prof. John Pezacki, University of Ottawa Monday April 29, 2024 at 11 am in 775B Tan Hall Host: Prof. Chris Chang Probing the role of copper and using it to target virus-host interactions Our lab uses different methods for the discovery of the molecular mechanisms by which different RNA viruses subvert human cells in order to discover new antiviral strategies.

Between the microsaccadic eye movements and microfluctuations of the eye’s autofocus mechanism (ocular accommodation), our visual system constantly encounters time-varying information even during a supposed “Steady state” fixation epoch. This talk will focus on the temporal instability of the eye’s accommodation, as observed under physiological conditions and in a condition of binocular vision dysfunction. The talk will be divided into two parts: the first part will describe the characteristics of these instabilities and their putative source in the neural control of accommodation and the second part will describe their impact on vision and a modeling exercise that was undertaken to decode putative decision strategies to optimize vision during such epochs.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/HWNI/event/237253-oxyopia-seminar-temporal-instabilities-in-the-human-e</guid></item><item><title>Implications of AI on Higher Education, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/cshe/event/244595-implications-of-ai-on-higher-education</link><description> Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others, have had an astonishingly quick impact on the ways we learn, work, think, and create, and this evolution is clearly apparent on college campuses. As early as January 2023, approximately 9 out of 10 college students reported using ChatGPT, and that number, as well as student competency with AI, has only grown since then. AI is present in our college classrooms, and there is also growing demand for graduates who possess AI competencies and literacies. Drawing from the presenter’s new book, Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning (Johns Hopkins University Press), the core focus of this session will be on concrete approaches and strategies higher education can adopt, both within the classroom and across larger curricular structures, to best prepare students for the life that awaits them after graduation.<a href="https://forms.gle/fFZPx6giPPs1N5a9A">RSVP</a></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/cshe/event/244595-implications-of-ai-on-higher-education</guid></item><item><title>Impact Anywhere, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/event/245256-impact-anywhere</link><description> UC Berkeley faculty and staff member, Alex Budak, will lead us in exploring the ability each of us have — as individuals and as teams — to spark positive change in any setting and at any level.

Using a comprehensive new dataset of purchases of media outlets by conglomerate owners, we examine the effects of ownership change on news content, viewership, and political knowledge. We further explore whether consolidation effects are driven by general economic forces common to all conglomerate owners, or by owner-specific idiosyncratic differences in strategy and objectives. We find that effects on content are sizable in the aggregate but driven by only one major conglomerate, the Sinclair Broadcast Group. Viewer reactions to content changes are small and not significantly different across ownership groups. These results together suggest significant scope for owner influence on news content.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/haas/event/229883-pe-seminar-greg-martin-stanford</guid></item><item><title>Internal Finance Seminars: Ulrike Malmendier, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/haas/event/237044-internal-finance-seminars</link><description>Speaker: <a href="https://eml.berkeley.edu/~ulrike/">Ulrike Malmendier</a>Paper: “The Roles of Beliefs versus Frictions in Consumption Decisions of Low-Income Workers”</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/haas/event/237044-internal-finance-seminars</guid></item><item><title>Seminar 231, Public Finance:, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/228795-seminar-231-public-finance</link><description> Seminar 231</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/228795-seminar-231-public-finance</guid></item><item><title>The Sam Dubal Fellowship Lecture: In the Fold of Governance, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/event/245680-the-sam-dubal-fellowship-lecture-in-the-fold-of</link><description> Anthropologists of policy, governance, and development have learned to move deftly between the genealogy of governmental interventions into human life and the ethnographic investigation of what Tania Murray Li calls “the ‘witches’ brew’ of practices that actually transpire” when government encounters life (2007, 27). In this paper, I ask what happens when we try to carry out this ethnographic movement from governmental strategy to government-in-practice in settings shaped by “reflexive government”—the explicit “folding back of the objectives of government upon themselves” (Dean 2010, 201). I conducted fieldwork on substance misuse treatment in the United Kingdom in the wake of a policy reform that claimed to replace a “waste[ful] and fatalis[tic]” therapeutic culture with a new ethos of “recovery,” which would aim not simply to protect the lives of drug users, but to change them for the better. Drawing explicit parallels between the provision of methadone prescriptions to heroin users and the provision of welfare benefits to the unemployed, the policymakers behind this “recovery agenda” identified the problem drug treatment policy needed to solve not as illicit drug-use itself, but the way illicit drug-use was governed, and the “dependency” in which this relation of governance supposedly entangled drug users. Asking what actually transpires within the fold of this reflexive governmental agenda, I juxtapose two disjunct forms of governmental discourse I encountered during my fieldwork: the branding exercises carried out by the NGO treatment providers that compete for contracts from local government councils to provide drug treatment services, and the idioms of cynical humor through which “front-line” treatment professionals react to attempts to govern the ways in which they govern their clients. These discourses express two different ways of thinking about the accumulation of governmental effects, in the first case as an accumulation of “recovery capital,” and in the second case as an accumulation of “shit.” Professional treatment providers’ comments on the shitness of governance point to the ways in which efforts to introduce speculative models of enterprise into government end up reproducing the forms of cynicism they seek to expel.</description><guid>/event/245680-the-sam-dubal-fellowship-lecture-in-the-fold-of</guid></item><item><title>Seminar 211, Economic History: Lars Jonung (Lund University), April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/242410-seminar-211-economic-history-lars-jonung-lund-univers</link><description> Speaker: Lars Jonung</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/242410-seminar-211-economic-history-lars-jonung-lund-univers</guid></item><item><title>Informal String-Math Seminar: The cotangent bundle of the Grassmannian as a Coulomb branch, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245669-informal-string-math-seminar-the-cotangent-bundle</link><description>Many interesting varieties can be realized as the Coulomb branch of a 3d N=4 gauge theory, and this realization can give us some very interesting information. One of the most familiar varieties that appears this way is the cotangent bundle of the Grassmannian of k-planes in $\mathbb C^n$. I’ll explain this realization as a special case of the more general theory of bow varieties and discuss how this allows us to construct tilting generators and non-commutative resolutions on $T^*Gr(k,n)$.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245669-informal-string-math-seminar-the-cotangent-bundle</guid></item><item><title>Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory RTG Seminar: Why unpolarized abelian varieties can’t be classified, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245743-arithmetic-geometry-and-number-theory-rtg-seminar</link><description>It is a well-known fact that to get a reasonable moduli space of abelian varieties, one must first fix a type of polarization. Something similar holds for moduli spaces of sheaves, but in that case one can fix the issues by (a) removing some sheaves and (b) coarsening the equivalence relation. I’ll show (joint work with Rubin, Scholl, Sharif, and Silverberg) that this can’t be done, in a very strong sense: over any field, the subset of pairs in $A_g\times A_g$ ($g>1$) which are isomorphic as unpolarized abelian varieties is Zariski dense. In particular, one cannot hope for even a partially defined algebraic invariant of isomorphism classes! The argument is quite number theoretical: a key construction uses properties of class groups of quadratic orders to construct abelian varieties with large numbers of polarizations.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245743-arithmetic-geometry-and-number-theory-rtg-seminar</guid></item><item><title>Math 1B Topic Review, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/slc/event/243924-math-1b-topic-review</link><description>What are Topic Reviews?Topic Reviews are designed to support you in building and deepening your understanding of key concepts and theories introduced in your math or statistics course.

Among these concepts was that of “sex,” whose significance was inflected by the now global circulation of sexology. This talk examines the DRV’s nation-building project since 1955 through a close examination of the ways in which “sex” entered the language, and from there to be deployed by the state. I argue that the arrival of this modern vocabulary together with the global circulation of sexology profoundly influenced North Vietnam’s understanding of the term, linking it to notions of normative—and by extension, deviant—gender and sexuality. By demonstrating the introduction of “sex” through medical journals and reference manuals, I suggest the ways in which the DRV understood it as they embarked on building a modern nation-state.About the Speaker: Richard Quang-Anh Tran, PhD, is presently a Scholar-in-Residence in Berkeley’s Program in Critical Theory, specializing in queer studies with a focus on Vietnam and the Asian context.

These advances have opened an array of new questions, not easily addressed by the available technologies but central to understanding the results. What physical 3D structures underlie the patterns in frequency-of-contact among genomic loci revealed by sequencing approaches such as Hi-C? That is to say, what does a “topologically associating domain” (TAD), a “CTCF loop”, or an “architectural stripe” look like under the microscope, and how do such measurements help us understand the transcriptional regulatory potential of such features? I will describe our work developing single molecule super-resolution methods to image the 3D organization of the genome, and describe how these approaches are helping us to understand both the mechanisms which regulate genome structure and the impact of this regulation on transcriptional control in animal development. Using an imaging approach we’ve called Optical Reconstruction of Chromatin Architecture (ORCA), I will first show how the microscopy data, averaged across a population of cells, can map de novo these same TADs, loops and stripes, identified by deep Hi-C, helping to validate both methods, while uncovering artifacts in some related sequencing methods. I will then describe how the single-cell nature of the 3D traces uncover the highly heterogeneous, likely dynamic nature of chromatin folding, and exclude some earlier explanations of cis-regulatory specificity based on chromatin globules. Applying ORCA in spatially organized embryonic tissues, combined with multiplexed single molecule RNA analyses, we are able to follow how divergent 3D folding leads to divergent cell-fates during development and how disruption of this 3D structure can produce homeotic fate transformations. Combining ORCA with fast-acting degrons to rapidly deplete architectural proteins, I will show unpublished work on how we have mapped the key proteins CTCF and cohesin organize 3D genome folding in single cells, from the kilobase scale of single genes to the whole chromosomes. These data reveal unexpected roles for CTCF in the bypass of TAD borders and unexpected roles for cohesin in chromosome-scale 3D structure, which we find has an essential noise-damping effect of global transcription regulation. I will close with a final unpublished example of how imaging 3D chromatin structure has helped us evaluate and understand the potential roles of phase-separation and droplet formation in the function of the epigenetic repressive system of Polycomb factors.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/chem/event/209985-genome-folding-and-transcription-control-at-single-mo</guid></item><item><title>Seminar 271: “The Incidence of Distortions”, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/237566-seminar-271-the-incidence-of-distortions</link><description> Joint with International Trade</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/237566-seminar-271-the-incidence-of-distortions</guid></item><item><title>Seminar 208, Microeconomic Theory: Topic Forthcoming (copy), April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/239531-seminar-208-microeconomic-theory-topic-forthcoming</link><description> Topic Forthcoming</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/239531-seminar-208-microeconomic-theory-topic-forthcoming</guid></item><item><title>Gods & Kings: Legacies of Ancient African States on Religion, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/asc/event/242377-gods-kings-legacies-of-ancient-african-states-on-reli</link><description> Constantine Manda, UCI assistant professor of political science, studies religiosity in Africa and its political and economic implications.

This is contrary to Africans who descend from ethnicities whose political authority was more diffused across several individuals or clans.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/townsend/event/245789-gods-kings-legacies-of-ancient-african-states</guid></item><item><title>Reporting in India: Berkeley Journalism Students Present their Stories, April 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/csas/event/120387-reporting-in-india-berkeley-journalism-students-prese</link><description> From New Delhi to Mumbai, down to Kerala, over to Bihar and even venturing into Kashmir, students of the <a href="https://journalism.berkeley.edu/course-section/j234-reporting-on-india-sp24/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India Reporting Project</a> at the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism have crisscrossed India in pursuit of stories.

Since then, India’s middle class has grown rapidly, and Bangalore now has more IT professionals than Silicon Valley. India’s highly educated workforce is entering the global market, and the country is quickly becoming a major economic power. But it is also true that a majority of Indians still depend on agriculture to make a living, lack access to safe drinking water and cannot access basic health care. More people in India subscribe to a cell phone service than have access to a proper toilet, an oft quoted fact that illustrates the tension between a country moving forward and those being left behind. The rapidly changing tide in India demands journalists who understand and are familiar with the diverse country. It was to this end that the Graduate School of Journalism launched the India Reporting Project and the Nirupama Chatterjee Teaching Fellowship. The school offers the fellowship annually to an Indian editor or reporter, who will come to Berkeley for a semester and teach a course preparing our journalism graduate students for a hands-on reporting trip to India. Over the past decade, the school has invited renowned journalists from India to guide our students through a course focused on reading and reporting about India, culminating in a reporting trip at the end of the semester. The fellowship is named in honor of Nirupama Chatterjee, who lived through India’s independence in 1947 and the opening of India’s economy in the early 1990s. Despite her reverence for tradition, Mrs. Chatterjee was very much a modern, forward-looking woman. She insisted that her three daughters have as much access to education as her three sons, and when several of her children immigrated to the United States, she was able to bridge the two cultures. Until her death in 1998, she remained open to a new world and excited by its possibilities. This fellowship honors her spirit. ————————- Event made possible with the support of the <a href="http://southasia.berkeley.edu/sarah-kailath-chair-memorial-lecture">Sarah Kailath Chair of India Studies</a> Like us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Center-for-South-Asia-Studies/76502306608">FACEBOOK</a> Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/ISASatBerkeley">TWITTER</a> For DIRECTIONS to the Institute please enter “Institute for South Asia Studies” in your google maps or click this <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/dir//Institute+for+South+Asia+Studies,+10+Stephens+Hall,+Berkeley,+CA+94720/@37.8710692,-122.2585002,19z/data=!4m16!1m7!3m6!1s0x80857c25babcc33d:0xe2ff7d5c1483db5a!2sInstitute+for+South+Asia+Studies!3b1!8m2!3d37.8710952!4d-122.2576645!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x80857c25babcc33d:0xe2ff7d5c1483db5a!2m2!1d-122.2576645!2d37.8710952">GOOGLE MAPS LINK</a>.<a href="http://southasia.berkeley.edu/parking-around-campus">PARKING INFORMATION</a> Please note that parking is not always easily available in Berkeley.

The campus has long sparked the creativity of fiction writers, inspiring them to use it as a backdrop, a key player, or a barely disguised character within their tales. This exhibition highlights examples of these portrayals through book covers, excerpts, illustrations, photographs, and other materials largely selected from the University Archives and general collections of The Bancroft Library.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/223228-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229188-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229188-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/236431-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art</link><description>Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper. This exhibit highlights some of those books and salient examples related to the construction of pop-up books and origami design. Also included are finished works using pop-up folding and cutting techniques.This small, fun, exhibit – appropriate for children and creative-aspiring adults – will hopefully leave you thinking, “I can do that!”The Environmental Design Library’s pop-up book collection was started to entertain the children of our students who needed a quiet moment in the library, and has since grown to more than 60 volumes. In addition to the pop-up books on display, another 40 volumes are available for interactive exploration.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241403-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>The Yuan Global Talks on Generative AI and Human Creativity: How Fair is Fair Use in the “AI Age”?, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/law/event/245524-the-yuan-global-talks-on-generative-ai-and-human</link><description>Talk III: How Fair is Fair Use in the “AI Age”? April 30, 2024 @ 5:00-6:30 p.m. PT General MCLE Credit Available  Register | Agenda | Resources Conventionally, the fair use doctrine has been serving as a safety valve in balancing the copyright protection of expressive creativity and necessary access for cumulative creativity. Despite the modern US Copyright Act’s legislative intent of having broad exclusive rights and narrow limitations however, for some reasons in past decades the supposedly limited fair use doctrine has turned essentially into a  broad transformativeness test, i.e. the secondary work is transformative as a matter of law “[i]f looking at the works side-by-side, the secondary work has a different character, a new expression, and employs new aesthetics with [distinct] creative and communicative results.” This simplistic inquiry has arguably caused, among other confusions, a serious collision between authors’ right to derivative works and the transformative-use dominated fair use defense. This collision is likely to be further exacerbated with the rapid deployment of generative AI tools in the creative industry, where consumption of large amount of copyrighted works (as “raw materials”) in the training process has been forcefully argued by some as fair use, due to the “transformativeness” of the AI outputs. But is this “fair use” indeed fair, particularly in light of the fact that many such AI outputs constitute competitive commodities with the original copyrighted works created by human artists?  On a deeper level, is such a broad fair use doctrine consistent with the principles of the IP system that has been running for centuries to incentivize and honor human creativity? In the wake of Warhol v. Goldsmith, a landmark case in which the US Supreme Court took great pains to clarify the decade-long confusion prevalent in the interplay of fair use and author’s right to derivative works, please join me in an in-depth discussion with my esteemed Berkeley colleagues Prof. Peter Menell, Prof. Robert Merges: how fair is “fair use” in the AI age? Discussants:  Dr. Yuan Hao(opens in a new tab), BCLT Prof. Peter Menell, BCLT Prof. Robert Merges, BCLT Series Description After decades of bust and boom, the year 2023 witnessed a meteoric rise of Generative AI (“Gen-AI”). Distinct from its predecessor Analytical AI, Gen-AI’s capability to produce ostensibly creative content, including aesthetically appealing “art” pieces with human prompts and innovative technical solutions to well-defined problems, heralds a paradigm shift in human being’s creative process. As manifested by the recent cases globally, this paradigm shift starts to pose real-world challenges to the good old IP system that aims to incentivize and honor human creativity. Among the various doctrinal challenges, two stand out at the moment as particularly pressing: (1) should IP protect the outputs of such human + AI (“Centaur”) creative synergies, and (2) can proprietary data be “fair used” to train Gen-AI? In the long term, how IP system addresses these challenges may have profound implications on the evolution of the Gen-AI ecosystem, and more importantly, the future of human creativity. Finding the proper answers however, requires a perspective that spans beyond the confines of IP doctrines alone – it demands solid understanding of the rapidly evolving value chain and commercialization landscape, core regulatory principles in harmony with a human-centered approach, the concrete mechanisms IP system uses to facilitate diversity and equity in creation, as well as a philosophical contemplation on what human creativity means in the dawning “age of Gen-AI”. Against this backdrop, Berkeley Asia IP and Competition Law Center (“BAIC”) at BCLT launches the “Yuan Global Talks on Generative AI and Human Creativity.” The series is named for the Chinese “Yuan” (元), echoing the beginning of a new epoch, and “Yuan” (圆), a circle symbolizing inclusivity, equality and productive discourse – principles that happen to resonate with the hostess’ name, Dr. Yuan Hao, Senior Fellow and Co-Director of BAIC, who co-taught a brand new course titled “IP and Human Creativity in the ‘AI Age’” in the autumn of 2023. This conversation series strides beyond national borders, aiming to foster a constructive exchange between voices from diverse spheres. It is an invitation to scholars, creators, entrepreneurs and policy makers, particularly from the US and Asia, to forge a collaborated path through the evolving narrative of Gen-AI assisting, rather than displacing human creativity.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/law/event/245524-the-yuan-global-talks-on-generative-ai-and-human</guid></item><item><title>People & Culture Inclusive Leadership Academy: Language for Equity & Inclusion, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/deib/event/230608-people-culture-inclusive-leadership-academy-language-</link><description> The Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging within People & Culture, will partner with the Center for Equity, Gender & Leadership in the Berkeley Haas School of Business, to host the People & Culture Inclusive Leadership Academy (PCLA).

This course will orient participants with fundamentals and details of bikeway design, ranging from application of traditional designs (bike routes, lanes, paths) to innovative facilities that are growing in popularity, such as separated/protected bikeways and special shared treatments. The course will cover a wide range of subjects ranging from user types and preferences, operator characteristics, to detailed design approaches. The course includes numerous examples of legacy and innovative facilities, including examples from European cities that experience extremely high bicycle usage for all ages and abilities. The course is intended for persons charged with development or design of high-quality bikeway facilities. It may also meet the training needs of persons responsible for planning bicycle friendly networks, interested in learning how to deliver quality facilities, or desiring tools to remodel existing facilities to better serve user needs.  <h2>Topics Include</h2><ul><li>User criteria to establish design approach </li><li>Characteristics of the wide range of bikeway users </li><li>California laws that regulate bikeway design considerations </li><li>Recent changes to standards and guidelines </li><li>Liability issues related to project design and environmental review </li><li>Detailed design considerations for bicycle facilities </li><li>Traditional bikeway facilities </li><li>Innovative bikeway facilities </li><li>International treatments </li><li>End-of-trip Facilities </li><li>Case studies </li></ul><h2>What You Will Learn</h2> Trainees will gain an in-depth understanding of the design considerations that should guide the development of bikeways that consider safety, provide attractiveness and comfort for new users, and encourage increasing bicycle usage. Trainees will be better prepared to develop quality designs, apply design principles to inform project planning phases, and address issues that may limit effectiveness of existing facilities. While the course is designed for persons who may be charged with design of bicycling facilities, it will offer value and insight to persons who are interested in or charged with oversight of the project selection, refinement, and design process.<h2>Who Should Attend</h2> This course is most appropriate for persons interested in understanding how to design a facility that meets user needs, encourages additional usage and growth in bicycling, and preserves or improves safety for all users. While appropriate and intended for designers, bikeway planners and other professionals will find value in learning principles of how to design for safety, to encourage new users, and to retrofit existing facilities that do not meet user expectations.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/229057-bikeway-facility-design-and-safety-improvement</guid></item><item><title>Berkeley Boosts | Predictive Data Analytics and the Law, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/event/245796-berkeley-boosts-predictive-data-analytics-and-the</link><description> Experts will discuss the impact of innovations in technology on capital markets, with a focus on rules proposed by the SEC regarding the use of predictive data analytics by broker-dealers and investment advisors.

Previously, most households had a landline phone, one or two televisions and the occasional desktop computer. These days most people own numerous electronic devices, resulting in an increased demand on the semiconducting materials that drive this technology, in addition to the energy needed to power them. Accordingly, there has been a large amount of interest in the development of organic semiconductors, as many of the inorganic materials used in these devices are in limited supply. Organic semiconductors are either polymers or small molecules that feature and extended pi-conjugation. These materials possess many exceptional electronic, optical, and thermal properties and thus are well suited for applications, such as transistors, solar cells, and light emitting diodes. Unfortunately, there are several issues that must be addressed before real-life products can be developed. Unfortunately, there are several issues that must be addressed before real-life products can be developed. Our group focuses on the design and synthesis of new organic semiconductors based on low cost and/or easily prepared starting materials. Since the properties of organic semiconductors can be readily modified through chemical synthesis, we have turned our attention towards the design and synthesis of novel aromatic building blocks. Our group developed several new materials based including wide band gap materials for use in organic light-emitting diodes and narrow band gap materials for use in photovoltaic cells.

Starting with word2vec in 2013 and accelerating to contemporary transformer models such as BERT, researchers have continued to discover exciting new applications and improve existing ones. Because financial data is largely numerical and NLP’s prominent successes arose in unrelated areas, applications to finance have generally lagged outside a few bespoke areas, such as sentiment analysis for stock price prediction. This report applies contemporary NLP to a novel area that is important to the debt markets – learning the terms of complex mortgage-baked securities from their description in published offering documents, a critical task currently conducted manually and offered as a paid service to institutional investors by third-party vendors. The ultimate goal is to generate automatically from offering documents terms summaries together with executable code reflecting the detailed security terms, allowing immediate simulation, scenario investigation, stress testing and valuation. This talk will discuss the work in process, highlighting the successes, challenges and results to date.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/241064-sem-217-nick-gunther-infirma</guid></item><item><title>The National Investment Authority: An Institutional Blueprint And Implications For Climate Policy, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/besi/event/242264-the-national-investment-authority-an-institutional</link><description><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Please register to join us on April 30, 2024 at 12:00pm for an online lecture by <a href="https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/faculty-research/faculty-directory/saule-omarova/">Saule Omarova</a>, Beth and Marc Goldberg Professor of Law, Cornell University.</h4>  <h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a href="https://berkeley.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0DrLIzHpSOGOHwjZkvkGIA">REGISTER</a></h3>  Abstract.

Many Humanities students pass through graduate study before moving on to professional life. Graduate training offers a lifeline for students from less privileged backgrounds. How well do Berkeley’s Humanities programs enable students from those backgrounds? What should the social role of graduate study in this area be in a public university like Berkeley? Join us for a discussion on addressing economic inequality and enhancing accessibility in higher education, as we explore the social significance of graduate study at Berkeley and beyond in our webinar with Timothy Hampton. Timothy Hampton is Aldo Scaglione and Marie M. Burns Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature and French at UC Berkeley. A former director of the Townsend Humanities Center and fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Paris and the Dahlem Humanities Center in Berlin, he received the Campus Distinguished Teaching Award in 2013.

Optical MEMS is playing a critical role in many important areas such as Optical Networks, LIDAR, Virtual Reality, 3D Imaging, and various Biomedical applications. Devices that operate on the phase of an Optical beam require less movement and can be much faster. Examples of such devices include GLV (grating light valve), Diffractive MEMS, and Tunable Fabry Perot filters. Many applications are enabled by Micromirror devices that rotate in one or two axes. Different approaches are used depending on mirror size, speed, rotation angle, and whether used in a controlled or resonant mode. One or two dimensional arrays of mirrors are needed for some applications such as Optical Cross-connect Switches. The talk will also review design methodologies and process fabrication methods. AG Microsystems (AGM https://agmicrosystems.com/) was founded by Asif A. Godil, a visionary technical and business leader with a proven track record of bringing cutting edge technology to market to address real business needs. AGM is focused on Optical MEMS technology and in particular on MEMS Micromirrors. These are being used in Optical Networks and a host of other applications. Prior to his work at AGM, Asif founded and built LIGHTCONNECT into a major supplier of MEMS-based fiber optic components and modules for the Telecom market. LIGHTCONNECT was successfully acquired by Neophotonics Corporation which is now part of Lumentum. In the Optical MEMS space, a highly significant development was the GLV (Grating Light Valve)-based scanned projection display, which Asif co-invented and developed at Silicon Light Machines. After Asif completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, Sony invited him to spend a couple of years as a Visiting Scientist at its Research Center in Tokyo, Japan.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/bsac/event/244910-bsac-technology-seminar-optical-mems-technology</guid></item><item><title>Strengthening community-engaged research with youth and university conditions to support it, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/bph/event/242519-strengthening-community-engaged-research-with-youth-a</link><description> Professor Emily Ozer will be discussing her recent research and how to strengthen community-engaged research with youth and university conditions to support It.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/bph/event/242519-strengthening-community-engaged-research-with-youth-a</guid></item><item><title>BIDS Seminar with Antonia Winkler, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/BIDS/event/240840-bids-seminar-with-antonia-winkler</link><description>Invited guest Antonia Winkler gives a 30-minute presentation and leads a 30-minute Q&A. <h4 style="text-align: center;"> → Join us in person: BIDS provides lunch!</h4><hr/> Open science at CERN: Infrastructure, policy and practice The high-energy physics research conducted at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) involves the generation and application of a highly diverse set of scientific resources. CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest experimental setup in the world, requires the development of complex software and hardware components that enable the generation, storage and analysis of research data on an exabyte scale. Large-scale experimentation at CERN further necessitates the coordination of several thousand researchers and has led to the creation of a unique set of software tools that support the organization of research practices throughout the institution. The highly complex nature of research at CERN has presented the laboratory with challenges in opening up its diverse research outputs. In the course of CERN’s existence, various efforts have emerged to make software, hardware and data generally accessible. This talk will provide an overview of open science milestones at CERN and point to the institutional structures that support the opening up of the lab’s scientific resources. With its unique strategy of taking both software and hardware into account, the newly established <a href="https://opensource.web.cern.ch/welcome-ospo-page">Open Source Program Office</a> (OSPO) will receive special attention in this context. To provide an impression of CERN’s diverse landscape of practitioners, open data initiatives such as the <a href="https://opendata.cern.ch/">CERN Open Data Portal</a>, open hardware efforts such as <a href="https://white-rabbit.web.cern.ch/">White Rabbit</a>, and source software endeavors such as <a href="https://zenodo.org/">Zenodo</a> will be introduced. Finally, the talk will explore the correlations between open science policy, infrastructure and practice at CERN, with a specific focus on the dual role of open source projects as open science infrastructures and open research outputs in their own right.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BIDS/event/240840-bids-seminar-with-antonia-winkler</guid></item><item><title>Student Research Showcase: Canadian Identities in Art, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/can/event/202167-student-research-showcase-canadian-identities-in-art</link><description> Learn about the research Canadian Studies funds through our <a href="https://canada.berkeley.edu/grants-and-awards/edward-e-hildebrand-graduate-research-fellowship">Edward E.

Her Hildebrand Fellowship field research in Toronto and Vancouver examined how Korea-born and Vancouver-based artist Jin-me Yoon’s work addresses and responds to ongoing colonial frontier-building violences that link the transpacific militarized geographies of Korea and Western Canada together.“Seeking Sweet Beaver: On the Hunt for Joyce Wieland’s Canadian Nationalist Musk” Madeleine Morris, Ph.D. student, History of Art Through the Hildebrand Graduate Research Fellowship, Madeleine traveled to three Canadian cities to track Canadian nationalist artist Joyce Wieland’s olfactory work Sweet Beaver. Looking at the context of her 1971 exhibition True Patriot Love, she accessed archival documents to examine the use of the sensory in her exhibition. At Canadian art institutions, she also studied artworks by Group of Seven father Tom Thomson, a point of obsession for Wieland and important link for her ecocritical understanding of landscape amid her concerns over Canadian national identity that incorporated both anglophone and francophone Canadians. This project is part of broader ongoing research into North American olfactory art in spaces of art and cinema.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/can/event/202167-student-research-showcase-canadian-identities-in-art</guid></item><item><title>Seminar 221, Industrial Organization: “Choice by Design: Evidence from Feeding America’s Food Allocation Problem” Sam Altmann, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/237879-seminar-221-industrial-organization-choice-by-design-</link><description> Choice by Design: Evidence from Feeding America’s Food Allocation Problem   Abstract: Feeding America, an organisation responsible for feeding 130,000 Americans every day, distributes donated food among a network of participating food banks. Feeding America’s allocation mechanism, the ‘Choice System’, uses first-price auctions to allow food banks to signal which types of food they need from Feeding America. This provides food banks a large degree of choice over the types of food they receive. This paper examines the welfare and distributional consequences of enabling this choice. I apply a dynamic auction model to Choice System bidding data, estimating the distribution of food banks’ heterogeneous and time-varying needs. The central challenge is that I do not observe food banks’ inventories - a key determinant of bidding behaviour. I overcome this difficulty using variation in food banks’ winnings (observed shifters of these unobserved states) to identify the model, which I then estimate using a Gibbs Sampler. I use these estimates to compare the Choice System to the previous allocation mechanism employed by Feeding America which gave food banks very limited choice. I find that the Choice System increased welfare by the equivalent of a 28.1% increase in the quantity of food being allocated. The majority of this welfare gain arises because the Choice System allocates food in batches, rather than sequentially.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/237879-seminar-221-industrial-organization-choice-by-design-</guid></item><item><title>Combinatorics Seminar: ETA Modified Macdonald polynomials are not Macdonald polynomials, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245842-combinatorics-seminar-eta-modified-macdonald</link><description>I will give a new combinatorial mechanics for computing the plethystic transformation that relates integral form Macdonald polynomials and modified Macdonald polynomials in type A.

Lu2121 Berkeley Way West, 1st Floor Colloquia Rooms 1102 & 1104 April 30th, 3pm-4:15pmFree speech, academic freedom, and DEIBJ are some of the most deeply cherished values at Berkeley Public Health and across academia. Universities thrive on free exchange of ideas, on free expression and open inquiry, and on listening to and learning from people of widely divergent thoughts, perspectives, and lived experiences.This is especially important for a school whose mission is to educate future public health leaders and changemakers who are going to be able to go out and make positive change in both blue counties andred counties, Trump Country andBiden Country, bringing people together across divides and working across differences to solve big problems in public health.These values have come under attack in recent months, on our campus and nationally. At times, they have come in conflict with each other, and raise difficult questions about our commitments. When do we shut down hate speech? When does free expression cross the line to microaggression or harassment? How do we create a safe space, as Chancellor Christ put it, to “balance the inherent tensions between free speech and diverse perspectives on one hand, and a strong, safe community that upholds different identities and beliefs on the other.”You are invited to a special event open only to Berkeley Public Health faculty, staff, and students, as we grapple with these difficult questions as a community. The event will feature a conversation between free speech expert Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of Berkeley Law, and diversity, equity, and inclusion leader Dania Matos, vice chancellor for the Division of Equity & Inclusion. We will discuss how to continue to protect and advance both values under the current climate, how they strengthen and conflict with each other, and how to restore free, civil, and inclusive discourse on campus and in our nation. This event will be moderated by Dean Michael C. Lu. If you require an accommodation for effective communication (ASL interpreting/CART captioning, alternative media formats, etc.) or information about campus mobility access features in order to fully participate in this event, please contact Alicia Slater, aliciaslater@berkeley.edu, with as much advance notice as possible and at least 7-10 days in advance of the event.ABOUT THE SPEAKERSErwin Chemerinsky became the 13th dean of Berkeley Law on July 1, 2017, when he joined the faculty as the Jesse H.

This talk offers a critique of reform efforts that imply that failure-free performance is achievable if the agency simply improves its access to information collection and processing. Drawing from social science scholarship that addresses the social processes that support scientific learning and policymaking in contested political environments, I ask whether science-informed policy can emerge without controversy and deliberation. Finally, this talk examines what standards public health officials can be held to when one replaces the goal of omniscience with one of transparent learning.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/brc/event/242577-embracing-controversy-a-second-look-at-cdc-reforms</guid></item><item><title>Math 16A Topic Review, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/slc/event/244668-math-16a-topic-review</link><description>What are Topic Reviews?Topic Reviews are designed to support you in building and deepening your understanding of key concepts and theories introduced in your math or statistics course.

SDLs are systems that help accelerate the process of scientific discovery or scale-up by employing artificial intelligence and automation for experiment planning and execution. Several SDLs have already been demonstrated globally, and the field is racing towards more robust and complex applications. I will review the essential elements of SDLs and use examples from my group’s and collaborators’ research. I will discuss my group’s work on developing an SDL capable of designing top-performing organic solid-state lasers and recent work on artificial intelligence for materials design. I will end with a timely discussion of AI for science and show recent progress from my research group on this front. What would be the criteria for advanced AI that carries out chemical experiments? At the University of Toronto, we have launched the Acceleration Consortium. This new significant initiative recently received CAD 200M in funding to accelerate self-driving laboratories for chemistry, materials science and biotechnology. I will briefly discuss what the AC is doing and how to collaborate or get involved with our efforts.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/chem/event/230062-william-a-lester-lecture</guid></item><item><title>Online Info Session for Payne-Pickering-Rangel Fellowships, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/OURS/event/245598-online-info-session-for-payne-pickering-rangel</link><description> Join the campus representative for the Payne, Pickering, and Rangel Fellowships to learn more about these opportunities, which fully funded two years of graduate study and lead to careers as Foreign Service Officers with the USAID Foreign Service or the U.S. State Department.Please check your eligibility for these fellowships before registering: • U.S. citizen • cumulative GPA of at least 3.2 at the time of application • seeking admission to a two-year, full-time, on-campus, master’s degree program at a U.S.-based graduate institution to begin in the fall of 2025 in an academic field relevant to the work of the Foreign Service (public policy, international affairs, public administration, business, economics, political science, management science, organizational development/leadership, sociology, or regional studies)</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/OURS/event/245598-online-info-session-for-payne-pickering-rangel</guid></item><item><title>The Science of Teaching, April 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/event/243650-the-science-of-teaching</link><description> The spark that ignites a student’s curiosity for science and mathematics can happen anywhere, but it is crucially nurtured in the classroom.

The campus has long sparked the creativity of fiction writers, inspiring them to use it as a backdrop, a key player, or a barely disguised character within their tales. This exhibition highlights examples of these portrayals through book covers, excerpts, illustrations, photographs, and other materials largely selected from the University Archives and general collections of The Bancroft Library.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/223327-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229187-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229187-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/236430-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art</link><description>Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper. This exhibit highlights some of those books and salient examples related to the construction of pop-up books and origami design. Also included are finished works using pop-up folding and cutting techniques.This small, fun, exhibit – appropriate for children and creative-aspiring adults – will hopefully leave you thinking, “I can do that!”The Environmental Design Library’s pop-up book collection was started to entertain the children of our students who needed a quiet moment in the library, and has since grown to more than 60 volumes. In addition to the pop-up books on display, another 40 volumes are available for interactive exploration.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241402-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Jacobs Spring Design Showcase 2024, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/Jacobs/event/245429-jacobs-spring-design-showcase-2024</link><description>Experience the forefront of design innovation with student projects, prototypes, and research at the three-day Jacobs Spring Design Showcase 2024.

Changing requirements and shifting political priorities can further complicate the process. Without a map and a strategy for developing fundable projects, public agencies and local governments risk losing funding opportunities. This course explains how the process works on the ground and provides planners, project managers, and grant managers with guidelines for thinking strategically as they develop fiscal plans, programs, and project descriptions.  <h2>Topics Include</h2><ul><li>How the federal and state funding process works in California, including relevant rules and laws </li><li>Specific policy concerns in California </li><li>The institutional frameworks through which funding decisions are made and how to navigate them </li><li>The specific roles played by Caltrans, MPOs, and the CTC </li><li>How conditions governing different funding sources influence what gets funded and what does not </li><li>The programming process and its iterations in different programming documents </li><li>Steps to build an effective funding strategy </li><li>How to match project description with eligibility criteria for key fund sources </li><li>Current state and federal transportation funding issues, including federal and state legislation affecting funding, with specific overview of California Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 </li></ul><h2>What You Will Learn</h2> This course focuses on the dynamics of transportation funding as well as knowledge to inform practical grantsmanship. Students develop a better understanding of how the process works in California, including who the players are, how to develop or match a project with a particular funding source(s), and what’s on the horizon with regard to funding priorities. Participants will also gain insights into the underlying sources of complexity and uncertainty in transportation funding and finance. This is not a course on how to prepare a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) or how to meet specific procedural requirements for a funding program.<h2>Who Should Attend</h2> This course is for transportation planners and project managers in state and local agencies or governments, regional planning agencies, and transit operators. It will also benefit board members, managers, and others involved with developing fundable plans and projects and understanding where transportation funding comes from or how transportation investment choices get made.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/240562-funding-and-programming-transportation-projects-in</guid></item><item><title>Complete Streets Planning and Design, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/236903-complete-streets-planning-and-design</link><description><h2>Description</h2> Complete Streets are planned, designed, operated, and maintained to provide safe and comfortable travel for all users of all ages.

Yet, many times, it is difficult to get started or restarted with a journaling practice- do I just start writing? How will I feel if I read it later? Do I have to write in a notebook or is typing in my phone the same thing? This workshop will help answer these questions, offering education about the benefits of journaling for our mental health, different types of journaling, and example prompts to get you started. The second half of the workshop will be devoted to starting your journaling practice, and in-person participants will receive a complimentary journal. This workshop welcomes those with any and all levels of journaling experience.Attend in person and receive a free journal!</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/uhs/event/245455-mental-health-awareness-day-restarting-your-journalin</guid></item><item><title>California Native Plant Sale, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/bot/event/245285-california-native-plant-sale</link><description>Shop for California Native Plants grown by the Garden’s volunteer propagators!<h3>Pop-up Plant Sale California Native Plants Friday, April 26–Sunday, May 5</h3>  HOURS Friday Evening Opening: April 26, 5:00–6:30 pm This year we kick-off the event with a Friday evening sale!Saturday, April 27 Members only from 9:00–10:00 am General Public: 10:00–4:30 pmSunday, April 28–Sunday, May 5 10:30 am–4:30 pm daily, except Closed Tuesday   Welcome spring to your garden with California native plants!

This thesis explores simple, scalable inductive biases that expose this structure. First, I propose a disentangled representation of scenes as collections of feature “blobs”, where a generative adversarial network learns to bind each blob to a different object in the images it creates. Next, I argue for methods that do not impose bottlenecks on architectures during training. I show that the internals of diffusion models can be used to meaningfully guide sampling of new data at inference. I also show that the distribution learned by these models can be distilled to generate compositional 3D scenes. I conclude with a perspective on the interplay between emergence, control, interpretability, and scale.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/244203-dissertation-talk-visual-structure-at-scale</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: Enabling Full-Stack DNN Accelerator Design and Evaluation, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245605-dissertation-talk-enabling-full-stack-dnn</link><description> As accelerator architectures, environments, and workloads grow ever more diverse and complex, traditional ad-hoc strategies for designing or evaluating accelerators fall short of meeting architects’ needs. To design modern (and future) DNN accelerators, architects need low-level insights into how components across the hardware-software stack, such as cache hierarchies, programming models, virtual address translation schemes, and/or accelerators’ spatial arrays all interact to determine a workload’s overall performance and area/energy efficiency. New tools and hardware/software design methodologies are needed to meet these needs. This talk describes recent work, such as Gemmini and Stellar, which help users rapidly design and generate broad sets of accelerators, for both dense and sparse workloads, and evaluate them within a full-stack, full-system context. I examine how architects can explore the design space of DNN accelerators, co-design them with their own software workloads, and gain useful insights into how well they integrate with the rest of the components on their SoC or programming stack.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245605-dissertation-talk-enabling-full-stack-dnn</guid></item><item><title>Marian E.

Professor Rodriguez will be joined in conversation by Clarissa Rojas, Assistant Professor of Chicana/o Studies at UC Davis, and Milena Britto, Associate Professor of Literature at the Federal University of Bahia and currently a Visiting Professor at UC Berkeley. The discussion will be moderated by Alberto Ledesma, Assistant Dean for Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in the Division of Arts & Humanities at UC Berkeley. The Social Science Matrix <a role="link" href="https://matrix.berkeley.edu/category/event-type/authors-meet-critics/">Authors Meet Critics</a> book series features lively discussions about recently published books authored by social scientists at UC Berkeley.

Drawing on state archives, illustrated biographies, documentary films, photojournalistic essays, graphic novels, and digital spaces, she focuses on the figure of the puta—the whore, that phantasmatic figure of Latinized feminine excess. Rodríguez’s eclectic archive features the faces and stories of women whose lives have been mediated by sex work’s stigmatization and criminalization—washerwomen and masked wrestlers, porn stars and sexiles. Rodríguez examines how visual tropes of racial and sexual deviance expose feminine subjects to misogyny and violence, attuning our gaze to how visual documentation shapes perceptions of sexual labor. Throughout this poignant and personal text, Rodríguez brings the language of affect and aesthetics to bear upon understandings of gender, age, race, sexuality, labor, disability, and migration. Highlighting the criminalization and stigmatization that surrounds sex work, she lingers on those traces of felt possibility that might inspire more ethical forms of relation and care.<h3>Panelists </h3><a role="link" href="https://ethnicstudies.berkeley.edu/people/juana-maria-rodriguez/">Juana María Rodríguez</a> is a cultural critic, public speaker, and award-winning author who writes about sexual cultures, racial politics, and the many tangled expressions of Latina identity.

However, our understanding of the MTB biology in humans is limited by the difficulty of accessing the sites of infection. Bacterial population genetics provides mechanistic insights into the biology of MTB in people. We have leveraged MTB population genetics to identify genes that are evolving to increase the bacterium’s ability to survive drug pressure. This analysis has revealed a novel regulatory circuit governing the integration of chromosomal replication and cell division. Genetic variation in the circuit components alters cell cycle and the ability to restart growth after antibiotic stress.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/pmb/event/236947-kustu-lecture-leveraging-human-population-biology-to-</guid></item><item><title>Demography Brown Bag Seminar: “The Fertility of Refugees in Germany”, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/popsci/event/243224-demography-brown-bag-seminar-the-fertility-of</link><description> Dr. Andreas Backhaus is a Postdoctoral Researcher on Ageing, Mortality and Population Dynamics.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/popsci/event/243224-demography-brown-bag-seminar-the-fertility-of</guid></item><item><title>ESPM Graduate Research Symposium: GradFest 2024, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ESPM/event/243491-espm-graduate-research-symposium-gradfest-2024</link><description> Join us for a symposium event featuring research talks from graduating students from the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management!  <a href="https://forms.gle/GhgQMw4UjzbzUTs6A">Click here to RSVP</a>.

After reviewing the foundational work establishing this mindset as related to, but distinct from fixed-growth mindsets, I share our most recent advances in this program of research. I propose a theory of mindset-stereotype (in)consistency, arguing that this dimension of mindsets may uniquely offer opportunities for mitigating the effects of negative stereotypes about underrepresented groups. I offer evidence for this theory across programs of work, the first two focused on the experiences of targets of prejudice (examining gender and race gaps in belonging, performance, and role model identification) and the third focused on bias and offer an extension to the study of ethical decision making. I discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings for scholarship on mindsets and diversity in organizations.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ipsr/event/245343-universal-nonuniversal-mindsets-about-potential</guid></item><item><title>Introduction to Zotero, May 1</title><link>https://berkeley.libcal.com/event/11868271</link><description>Spend an hour and learn to use this robust citation manager with Firefox and Chrome.

One antidote for this is simple. As soon as we see we are in a critical state, we can stop fighting with ourselves and come to a more inclusive dimension of experience by using our breath and weight to come to the body. Once body and mind are working together, our relationship with life changes: instead of trying to get rid of, or change a temporary state, we can see that whilewe arein a state, we are not that stateand can therefore begin to relate to it differently, with more acceptance and less judgment. This saves a lot of our energy, and allows us to be more available to life. Join us for this experiential class where we will learn to slow down and connect using simple Breema self care exercises and principles in moving meditation practice for unifying and balancing the energies of body, mind, and feelings. We hope to see you here. Please come comfortably dressed and prepared for light movement activity.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/uhs/event/245457-mental-health-awareness-day-in-the-absence-of-fear-lo</guid></item><item><title>Emeriti as Mentors: Intergenerational Poster Session, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/brc/event/243283-emeriti-as-mentors-intergenerational-poster</link><description> The poster session showcases the interdisciplinary collaboration between emeriti mentors and their undergraduate mentees from URAP (Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program) projects and seminars.

For empirical Bures-Wasserstein barycenters of independent, identically-distributed samples, much is known about their convergence to a population counterpart (strong law of large numbers, central limit theorem, rates of convergence, concentration inequalities, etc.). In this talk, we add to this story by proving the large deviations principle for Bures-Wasserstein barycenters and by exploring several applications. The proof of our result is based on a novel notion of exponential tilting in the tangent bundle of the Bures-Wasserstein space.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/probability-seminar/event/243044-probability-seminar-large-deviations-principle-for-bu</guid></item><item><title>Living the dream: cell division in diverse alphaproteobacteria, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/mcb/event/232551-department-of-molecular-and-cell-biology-annual</link><description>Department of Molecular & Cell Biology Annual Alumni Seminar Members of the class alphaproteobacteria have been called the “Darwin’s finches” of bacteria because of their incredible diversity of lifestyles and morphologies. We have used Caulobacter crescentus to establish a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of cell division and its integration with other cell cycle events in this group. In recent years we identified a pathway linking chromosome segregation with the activation of cell wall synthesis for constriction in Caulobacter. To complement our studies in Caulobacter, we have begun to develop the obligate intracellular human pathogen Rickettsia parkeri as a model to understand the cell biology of alphaproteobacteria with distinct lifestyles and growth environments. Our initial work suggests adaptations key to replicating in an intracellular environment in Rickettsia.

Vigorous competition between and within religious movements has led to their accumulating great power and wealth. Religions in many traditions have honed their competitive strategies over thousands of years. Today, they are big business; like businesses, they must recruit, raise funds, disburse budgets, manage facilities, organize transportation, motivate employees, and get their message out. In The Divine Economy, economist Paul Seabright argues that religious movements are a special kind of business: they are platforms, bringing together communities of members who seek many different things from one another—spiritual fulfilment, friendship and marriage networks, even business opportunities. Their function as platforms, he contends, is what has allowed religions to consolidate and wield power. This power can be used for good, especially when religious movements provide their members with insurance against the shocks of modern life, and a sense of worth in their communities. It can also be used for harm: political leaders often instrumentalize religious movements for authoritarian ends, and religious leaders can exploit the trust of members to inflict sexual, emotional, financial or physical abuse, or to provoke violence against outsiders. Writing in a nonpartisan spirit, Seabright uses insights from economics to show how religion and secular society can work together in a world where some people feel no need for religion, but many continue to respond with enthusiasm to its call.<h3>About the Speakers </h3><a role="link" href="https://paulseabright.com/">Paul Seabright</a> teaches economics at the Toulouse School of Economics, and until 2021 was director of the multidisciplinary Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse.

However, they pose new challenges and risks for deployment in real-world high-stakes domains. In this talk, I will describe our work towards building reliable machine learning systems through the lens of representation learning. First I will present a white-box approach to understanding transformer models. I will show how to derive a family of mathematically interpretable transformer-like deep network architectures by maximizing the information gain of the learned representations. Next, I will describe our work on understanding the representations learned by federated algorithms, and show how to leverage this observation to overcome high data heterogeneity in federated learning. Lastly, I will present our approach on training the first set of vision and vision-language foundation models with rigorous differential privacy guarantees, and demonstrate the promise of high-utility differentially private representation learning.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245558-dissertation-talk-reliable-representation-learning</guid></item><item><title>CCB Seminar: Integrating Biocultural Labels and Notices in biodiversity research to support Indigenous data sovereignty, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/CCB/event/220964-ccb-seminar-integrating-biocultural-labels-and-notice</link><description><div>Abstract: Using case studies that I have personally contributed to, and examples from colleagues, I will share narratives from the growing movement to implement CARE principles in the collection, analysis, and dissemination of biodiversity data with Indigenous provenance. CARE stands for Collective benefit, Access, Responsibility, and Ethics. We will see how a set of digital metadata tags, Biocultural Labels and Notices, can operationalize these principles in the study of biodiversity. In building understanding of how this operalization process can work, we will look to examples from the homelands of the Wabanaki Tribes, Kanaka Maoli, and Maori.</div><div> Bio: Andy is Assistant Professor in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. His work focuses on developing computational tools to support Indigenous Data Sovereignty and the ethical study of biodiversity.

Our lab investigates the mechanisms responsible for brain aging, with the goal of identifying targets to improve healthy aging and treat neurodegeneration. Our work is focused on two different areas of the brain: the hippocampus and the hypothalamus. In this presentation, I will highlight our work investigating the mechanisms of hypothalamic aging and the changes that this area of the brain undergoes in neurodegeneration. The hypothalamus is a well-conserved brain region that controls homeostatic and survival-related behaviors such as sleep, circadian rhythms, metabolic homeostasis, reproduction, and hormone status. We have identified cell-type specific transcriptional and epigenetic changes with age in the mouse that correlate with loss of hypothalamic function. We have also discovered sex-specific features of the aging hypothalamus suggesting cell-intrinsic epigenetic changes that underlie differences in male and female aging. Finally, we have performed the first large-scale analysis of single cell transcriptomic changes in the hypothalamus in Alzheimer’s disease, and I will present our preliminary findings suggesting major changes in specific hypothalamic subregions and cell types. In the long term, this work may lead to new strategies to enhance healthy brain function in the context of aging and neurodegeneration and improve quality of life in the elderly.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/NST/event/237071-transcriptomic-and-epigenetic-mechanisms-of-hypothala</guid></item><item><title>Martin Meyerson Berkeley Faculty Research Lecture: Michael Nylan, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/udar/event/240572-martin-meyerson-berkeley-faculty-research-lecture</link><description> Please join us for the second <a href="https://facultylectures.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 Martin Meyerson Berkeley Faculty Research Lecture</a>, a 111-year-old campus tradition celebrating excellence in research at UC Berkeley, taking place Wednesday, May 1, 2024.  Michael Nylan Jane K.

Baxter Lecture: Freedom of Thought and the Struggle to End Slavery, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/244643-the-ambassador-frank-e-baxter-lecture-freedom-of</link><description>How did the struggle to end slavery connect to the fight for the freedom of speech? The abolitionists saw the success of their movement as a victory for free speech, as well as for human liberty generally. To them, free speech was a necessary adjunct to their goal of converting a small movement on the fringes of mainstream politics into a powerful political force that could shape public opinion and win democratic elections. Their opponents thought the same, and engaged in aggressive efforts to suppress and silence antislavery speakers and writers in the antebellum period. In this talk, Keith E. Whittington will discuss his work on constitutional history and free speech, noting that abolitionists celebrated the ultimate abolition of slavery as a victory for freedom of thought.<a href="https://ucbevents.wufoo.com/forms/xakznp802frba2/">Register here</a> Professor Whittington writes about a range of issues relating to American constitutional history, politics, and law, including impeachments, presidential power, free speech, constitutional crisis, judicial review, originalism, and judicial appointments. His forthcoming book is titled The Idea of Democracy in America, from the American Revolution to the Gilded Age. Professor Whittington is the author of You Can’t Teach That! The Battle over University Classrooms (2024), Repugnant Laws: Judicial Review of Acts of Congress from the Founding to the Present (2019) and Speak Freely: Why Universities Must Defend Free Speech (2018), as well as Constitutional Interpretation (1999), Political Foundations of Judicial Supremacy (2007), and other works on constitutional theory and law and politics. He is currently completing book projects on the First Amendment and legislative restrictions on public universities, the impeachment power, constitutional crises in the United States, and the intellectual history of democracy in the United States. Whittington is the founding chair of the Academic Committee of the Academic Freedom Alliance and a Hoover Institution Visiting Fellow. He has been a John M. Olin Foundation Faculty Fellow, American Council of Learned Societies Junior Faculty Fellow, National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement Fellow, and a Visiting Scholar at the Social Philosophy and Policy Center. In the fall of 2020, he served as Visiting Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center and has previously been Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and the University of Texas School of Law. He is a member of the American Academy of the Arts and Sciences and served on the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. A graduate of Yale and the University of Texas Austin, Whittington has also written extensively for a general audience in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Reason, and Lawfare.

I will describe a construction in Lagrangian Floer homology based on the inscriptions of a square into a real analytic Jordan curve. The resulting homology group is very simple – it is a two-dimensional vector space – and it has an associated pair of real-valued spectral invariants which encode the “sizes” of some of the squares in the curve. The spectral invariants can sometimes be used to show that these squares don’t shrink out when approximating a rough curve by real analytic ones. As an application, if a rectifiable Jordan curve encloses an area greater than half that of a circle of equal diameter, then it inscribes a square. Joint work with Andrew Lobb.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245668-topology-seminar-floer-homology-and-square-pegs</guid></item><item><title>Cal for All: Building an Inclusive STEM Pipeline: From Education to Industry, May 1</title><link>https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cpBnFuokSyGbzYtRnjXhpg</link><description/><guid>https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cpBnFuokSyGbzYtRnjXhpg</guid></item><item><title>Toastmasters on Campus: Learn to improve your public speaking skills, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/event/121295-toastmasters-on-campus-learn-to-improve-your</link><description> Founded in 1987, the Toastmasters on Campus club has been serving UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff for 35 years.

François, a carpenter, is happy with his wife; he is happier still when he takes a mistress. For him it is not a question of loving one or the other; he loves both and wants them to share a life together. This triangular relationship is examined within a circular structure. The film begins and ends with blissful family picnics—only the women have changed. These pastoral scenes, filmed in soft focus and muted colors, are evocative of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s paintings. The allusion to Impressionism seems deliberate, for the film quietly criticizes François’s personal absorption. In his pursuit of happiness, he doesn’t look beyond his own needs and desires, and he never imagines that there may be a cost for living for the moment. Without moralizing or providing psychological explanation, Varda’s depiction raises the essentially philosophical question, Is this happiness? </div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ao-curator-authors-roles field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><div class="large-12" about="/field-collection/field-ao-curator-authors-roles/272560"><div class="description-person"> -Kathy Geritz </div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/240611-film-screening-le-bonheur</guid></item><item><title>Elizabeth Farnsworth Book Reading & Discussion, May 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/hrc/event/245585-elizabeth-farnsworth-book-reading-discussion</link><description> Join documentary filmmaker and former chief correspondent of PBS NewsHour Elizabeth Farnsworth for a book talk about her new novella, “<a href="https://www.lastlightbook.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.lastlightbook.com/&source=gmail&ust=1713565601939000&usg=AOvVaw1_kk8Xi4UzBrYWCqZb09I8">Last Light</a>.” Farnsworth weaves together the story of a young woman in 1943 Kansas hired to interpret for German speaking prisoners of war at a U.S. Army Hospital near Topeka.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229186-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/236429-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art</link><description>Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper. This exhibit highlights some of those books and salient examples related to the construction of pop-up books and origami design. Also included are finished works using pop-up folding and cutting techniques.This small, fun, exhibit – appropriate for children and creative-aspiring adults – will hopefully leave you thinking, “I can do that!”The Environmental Design Library’s pop-up book collection was started to entertain the children of our students who needed a quiet moment in the library, and has since grown to more than 60 volumes.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241401-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Gender and masks.

Yet, how finely natural populations adaptively track fluctuating selection pressures via shifts in standing genetic variation is unknown. We generated high-frequency, genome-wide allele frequency data from a genetically diverse population of Drosophila melanogaster in extensively replicated field mesocosms from late June to mid-December, a period of ~12 generations. Adaptation throughout the fundamental ecological phases of population expansion, peak density, and collapse was underpinned by extremely rapid, parallel changes in genomic variation across replicates. Yet, the dominant direction of selection fluctuated repeatedly, even within each of these ecological phases. Comparing patterns of allele frequency change to an independent dataset procured from the same experimental system demonstrated that the targets and ecological phases of selection are predictable across years. In concert, our results reveal fitness-relevance of standing variation that is likely to be masked by inference approaches based on static population sampling, or insufficiently resolved time-series data. We propose such fine-scaled temporally fluctuating selection may be an important force maintaining functional genetic variation in natural populations and an important stochastic force affecting levels of standing genetic variation genome-wide.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/CCB/event/223484-joint-ibccbmcb-seminar-dmitri-petrov-adaptive-trackin</guid></item><item><title>CCB/IB/MCB Joint Seminar: Adaptive Tracking on Sub-Seasonal Timescales in Drosophila, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ib/event/208946-integrative-biology-seminar</link><description>Temporally fluctuating environmental conditions are a ubiquitous feature of natural habitats.

This 4.5-hour in-person workshop is part of the BPM Part 3: Grow Your Team series and is an elective option for the UC Systemwide People Management Certificate. In this highly interactive workshop, each participant’s experience is drawn upon for the learning. Ideally, to contribute to and enhance understanding, participants will come with current and/or previous people management experience. Trust is at the heart of every relationship, and it’s especially critical in the workplace. In fact, the primary factor affecting employee turnover is whether or not a trusting relationship was developed between the manager and the employee. This workshop teaches how to build trust to increase engagement, creativity, and commitment. Based on 30 years of research, The Ken Blanchard Companies have developed a simple, yet powerful, trust model that provides a common language and framework, focused on the specific behaviors that build trust. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: *Describe the impact of behaviors on building and eroding trust *Identify aspects that need attention to build and maintain trusting relationships *Use tools to improve, or even rebuild trust when it is broken *Maintain a safe environment where employees know their leaders mean them no harm</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/223654-bpm-210-building-trust</guid></item><item><title>Elite, Commercialized Athletics in Higher Education, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/cshe/event/245745-elite-commercialized-athletics-in-higher-education</link><description> Higher education is filled with complexities and challenges, many of which exist globally; however, there is one aspect of higher ed that exists exclusively in the U.S.: commercialised intercollegiate athletics. Referred to informally as college sports, this is a highly divisive topic that regularly ignites passionate debates among students, university staff, media, politicians, and the general public. In light of recent policy changes, it is prudent to provide colleagues working in higher ed outside of the U.S. with a better understanding of the history, issues, and progress being made to support students who also represent their institutions as elite athletes. During this presentation, we will briefly discuss how the multi-billion dollar business of collegiate athletics came to be, the notable policies and regulations in place to protect both students and institutions, how universities manage this added complexity, and the impact being a collegiate athlete can have on student development.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/cshe/event/245745-elite-commercialized-athletics-in-higher-education</guid></item><item><title>Geometric Representation Theory Seminar: 3-d mirror symmetry, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245720-geometric-representation-theory-seminar-3-d-mirror</link><description>I’ll give a general(ish) introduction to 3-d mirror symmetry, what that means in physics, and how it manifests in mathematics.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245720-geometric-representation-theory-seminar-3-d-mirror</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: Re-examining metrics for success in machine learning, from fairness and interpretability to protein design, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245614-dissertation-talk-re-examining-metrics-for-success</link><description> Deploying machine learning models in the real world requires evaluating the models’ capabilities with metrics that reflect downstream use-cases. In this talk, I will discuss my work on identifying limitations in metrics for assessing performance in three distinct domains: fair classification, interpretability of neural network representations, and protein design with protein language models. In each of these cases, I show how improving benchmarks and evaluation metrics leads to corresponding insights into improving the models for real-world usage.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245614-dissertation-talk-re-examining-metrics-for-success</guid></item><item><title>MCB Seminar: Dissecting the neural circuitry underlying motivated behaviors, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/HWNI/event/239280-mcb-seminar-dissecting-the-neural-circuitry-underlyin</link><description>ABSTRACT: The amygdala and basal ganglia circuits have important roles in learning and executing behaviors motivated by either appetitive or aversive stimuli. How exactly these circuits contribute to the generation of divergent behavioral responses remains elusive. Our recent studies indicate that learning driven by reward or punishment induces distinct plastic changes in discrete circuits in the basal ganglia and the amygdala, and reveal how these learning-induced changes participate in guiding flexible behaviors. Interestingly, neurons in these circuits can also convey information about the nutritional properties of foods and the metabolic status of animals, and furthermore control energy utilization and weight gain. An emerging picture is that these circuits are used to regulate different aspects of motivated behaviors as well as energy homeostasis.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/HWNI/event/239280-mcb-seminar-dissecting-the-neural-circuitry-underlyin</guid></item><item><title>Dissecting the neural circuitry underlying motivated behaviors, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/mcb/event/209799-neuroscience-student-seminar-series-seminar</link><description>Abstract: The amygdala and basal ganglia circuits have important roles in learning and executing behaviors motivated by either appetitive or aversive stimuli.

Looking beyond the immediate wave of research that is focused on training models that can drive safely, this work looks into the future, and aims to develop models for AVs that can achieve more than safe driving. Traffic dynamics are notoriously difficult to model and capture on the micro-level, with behaviors ranging from human-observable to ones we are not aware of, happening every second. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a method which is effective in capturing structure from highly complex, heavy, behavioral data. In this work, we use RL and leverage its ability to understand complex human-driver and traffic dynamics in order to develop policies that are able to not only drive, but drive in a way that can smooth traffic. With the goal of taking these traffic-smoothing algorithms to the real world, the aim of this work takes a path through three parts, from work done purely in simulation to a eventual 100-AV road test. We first explore the concept of using RL as a means of control for wave-smoothing policy control by examining experiments across a variety of traffic scenarios that demonstrate its effectiveness. This portion happens purely in simulation and explores various components of RL design, from environment design to reward shaping. With the goal of deployment always in mind, we also conduct research on how to develop RL policies that are robust enough to survive the transfer from simulation to the real world while sacrificing minimal performance. Lastly, the work comes together to explore the development and deployment of the MegaVanderTest, the deployment of 100 RL-enabled AVs, and to our knowledge, the largest test of AVs designed to smooth traffic.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245648-dissertation-talk-from-simulation-to-the-real</guid></item><item><title>Cancelled - Colloquium: Lang Shining as Daemon: Giuseppe Castiglione and the Language of European Sinology, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ieas/event/235610-cancelled-colloquium-lang-shining-as-daemon-giuseppe-</link><description>Please kindly note that this event has been cancelled due to an emergency. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.In the eighteenth century, what we generally define as chinoiserie comprehended different forms, from painting to furniture, created in Europe in dialogue with real Chinese productions. These items displayed elements recognized as Chinese but created along the lines of European poetics. The world of chinoiserie thus became one of the loci of a language of appropriation which structured descriptions of pretended exchanges between Europe and China. Here, I discuss such a context from the perspective of European artists and missionaries living in China, especially through the lenses of a Jesuit lay-brother and painter, Giuseppe Castiglione (1688-1766), who worked in the imperial painting workshops in Beijing. By discussing the evidence related to his experiences, we have the chance to shed light on significant European views on China, and in turn, to explore some of the colonial concepts concealed into sinological and art-historical narratives.Marco Musillo is an independent scholar working on early modern China-Europe artistic dialogues. He has published on the eighteenth-century pictorial encounters at the Qing court, and on the historiography of transcultural art forms, from the Renaissance to the modern period. In 2016 he published The Shining Inheritance: Italian Artists at the Qing Court, 1699-1812(Getty Research Institute Publications); he is author of Tangible Whispers, Neglected Encounters: Histories of East-West Artistic Dialogues, 1350-1904(Mimesis International, 2018); and co-editor of Art, Mobility, and Exchange in Early Modern Tuscany and Eurasia (Routledge, 2020).This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Art History, UC Berkeley.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ieas/event/235610-cancelled-colloquium-lang-shining-as-daemon-giuseppe-</guid></item><item><title>Mathematics Department Colloquium: A new model for stable homotopy, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245350-mathematics-department-colloquium-tba</link><description>The stable homotopy groups of topological spaces have long been known to be isomorphic to framed bordism groups, via the Pontryagin-Thom construction. I will describe joint work with Andrew Blumberg, motivated by the desire to build foundations for Floer homotopy, which extends this relationship to the entire stable homotopy category, i.e. describing its objects, morphisms, compositions, etc. from the perspective of bordism. The starting point is the problem of providing a Morse theoretic description of bordism groups. While it will be briefly mentioned, knowledge of Floer theory will not be required to understand the lecture.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245350-mathematics-department-colloquium-tba</guid></item><item><title>Study Jam with UROC, May 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/OURS/event/242905-study-jam-with-uroc</link><description> As we near the end of the semester, we invite you to come and study with us!

The project draws from a collaboration between Galan Trioand professors of composition from selected US Universities, and from the notion of “Kinesis.” Kinesisis an undirected movement of a cell, organism, or part, in response to an external stimulus. In Greek, Kinesis means movement, motion. Motion is a fundamental characteristic of all living beings; motion is what all musicians worldwide have desired during the last couple of years; motion alludes to continuity and it’s a promise for the future of “Kinesis”itself.The first edition of the project featured the work of five composers who contributed one original work for piano trio reflecting on the period of the pandemic. Galan Trio counts four editions by now in East Coast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and South Central regions and works by Yiorgos Vassilandonakis, Martin Gendelman, Matthew Greenbaum, David Martynuik, Ken Steen, Alex Lubet, Navid Bargrizan, Larry Alan Smith and Richard Lavenda among others. The April 2024 edition in California features the work of Robert Denham, David Carter, Christopher Dobrian, Kevin Zhang, Pamela Madsen, Joao Pedro Oliveira, Deborah Kavasch, Ines Thibaut, Cindy Cox and Patricia Allessandrini.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/music/event/243426-galan-trio-concert</guid></item><item><title>EXHIBIT: A Storied Campus: Cal in Fiction, May 3</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/223574-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</link><description> Mention of the name University of California, Berkeley, evokes a range of images: a celebrated institution, a seat of innovation, protests and activism, iconic architecture, colorful traditions, and … literary muse? The campus has long sparked the creativity of fiction writers, inspiring them to use it as a backdrop, a key player, or a barely disguised character within their tales.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today.

This exhibit highlights some of those books and salient examples related to the construction of pop-up books and origami design. Also included are finished works using pop-up folding and cutting techniques.This small, fun, exhibit – appropriate for children and creative-aspiring adults – will hopefully leave you thinking, “I can do that!”The Environmental Design Library’s pop-up book collection was started to entertain the children of our students who needed a quiet moment in the library, and has since grown to more than 60 volumes. In addition to the pop-up books on display, another 40 volumes are available for interactive exploration.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241400-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: Sky Computing with Intercloud Brokers, May 3</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245555-dissertation-talk-sky-computing-with-intercloud</link><description> In this talk, we extend and explore a recent rising concept, Sky Computing, as a transformative approach to cloud computing. Sky Computing redefines the interaction between users and cloud services, proposing a unified “Sky of Computing” instead of isolated, competitive providers. This model leverages intercloud brokers to abstract the underlying cloud services, improving workload migration across clouds. We extensively explore the architectural and practical implementations of Sky Computing, leading to the development of an open-source intercloud broker, SkyPilot. SkyPilot demonstrates significant enhancements in optimizing and managing batch jobs, offering substantial cost savings, which is later extended to serving workloads, especially for AI. Further, we also examine broker policy designed for deadline-sensitive jobs, implementing effective policies on SkyPilot that enable the utilization of unreliable but cost-effective spot instances under deadline. Through real-world applications, Vicuna and SkyPilot Serving, we demonstrate how Sky Computing can support AI workloads, paving the way for further research.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245555-dissertation-talk-sky-computing-with-intercloud</guid></item><item><title>Teaching and Learning Conference, May 3</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/239288-teaching-and-learning-conference</link><description><h3>This event aims to foster a community of colleagues engaged in effective teaching and learning on our campus and present model cases of educators experimenting with a diverse range of teaching and learning strategies in UC Berkeley classrooms.  This year our theme is “Inclusive Teaching is Effective Teaching: Sharing Inclusive Teaching Strategies to Advance Equity.” </h3><h3>For more information visit the webpage: <a href="https://teaching.berkeley.edu/programs/2024-teaching-and-learning-conference">https://teaching.berkeley.edu/programs/2024-teaching-and-learning-conference</a></h3></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/239288-teaching-and-learning-conference</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: Efficient and Scalable Optical I/O Couplers for Photonics Circuits, May 3</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245663-dissertation-talk-efficient-and-scalable-optical-io-c</link><description> Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) hold immense promise across diverse domains, including optical communication, quantum technologies, and artificial intelligence, owing to their exceptional energy efficiency, scalability, and high bandwidth.

Join us for cookies and beverages in the ITS Library (412) McLaughlin Hall at 2:30 pm.Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the challenges of supervised learning and model-based control approaches in transportation-related applications. Then, I will present a theoretical framework founded at the intersection of control theory and learning that circumvents these challenges in deriving optimal strategies. In this framework, we aim to identify a sufficient information state for the system that takes values in a time-invariant space and use this information state to derive separated control strategies. Separated control strategies are related to the concept of separation between the estimation of the information state and control of the system. By establishing separated control strategies, we can derive offline the optimal control strategy of the system with respect to the information state, which might not be precisely known, and then use learning methods to learn the information state online while data are added gradually to the system in real time.Bio: Andreas Malikopoulos is a Professor in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering and the Director of the Information and Decision Science Lab at Cornell University.

Patil Advisors: Joseph E. Gonzalez, Prabal Dutta, Ion Stoica Date: Friday, May 3rd, 2024 Time: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM This is a hybrid event held in person and virtually over Zoom. Location (In-person): Soda Hall, 465H Location (Zoom): https://berkeley.zoom.us/my/tourist In this talk, we will explore how we pioneered integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with a variety of applications, tools, and services, focusing specifically on teaching LLMs to invoke API calls. Gorilla LLM, enhanced by our innovative Retriever-Aware Training (RAT), set a new-benchmark for LLMs in crafting API calls. I will also introduce a new programming language-inspired metric designed to quantify hallucinations in LLMs. I will conclude by presenting GoEx, a runtime to execute actions generated by LLMs, such as code and API calls, in various agents, workflows, to LLM-powered microservices. Key to GoEx is “undo” and “damage confinement” abstractions to manage unintended actions & risks. Gorilla (https://gorilla.cs.berkeley.edu/) is an open-source project having served hundreds of thousand user requests, with wide enterprise adoption, and an energetic community supporting it.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245838-dissertation-talk-teaching-large-language-models</guid></item><item><title>Marian E.

These reactions represent some of the most kinetically and thermodynamically challenging processes known. Interestingly, rate-limiting conformational changes precede catalysis in many metalloenzymes. The pervasiveness of this mechanistic pattern suggests that conformational gating may play an important role in mediating challenging chemical transformations in an energy-efficient manner. However, these enzymes are extremely complex, rendering direct examination of their conformational gating steps a tremendous challenge. Instead, we have taken the unique approach of preparing model systems in which macroscopic changes in the molecular structure of a ligand or protein host give rise to subatomic changes in the electronic structure of a bound metal ion. These systems include both conformationally dynamic coordination complexes and conformationally switchable artificial metalloproteins. In both cases, exciting new properties have emerged from the structural dynamicity at play. Ultimately, our work with these systems aims to define and quantify the kinetic and thermodynamic consequences of conformational gating mechanisms. Additionally, the systems under development are molecular switches and can also be exploited in applications ranging from solar energy conversion, to biomedical imaging, to green methods in chemical catalysis.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/chem/event/230511-inorganic-chemistry-seminar</guid></item><item><title>An Evening with Michael Pollan, in Conversation with Mina Kim, May 3</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/journalism/event/244785-an-evening-with-michael-pollan-in-conversation-with-m</link><description>Writer Michael Pollan talks with KQED’s Mina Kim about our individual and collective well-being, from changing what’s on our tables to what’s on our minds.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229184-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, May 4</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/236427-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art</link><description>Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241399-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>A Celebration of Dori Hale, May 4</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/english/event/245758-a-celebration-of-dori-hale</link><description> Please join Dorothy Hale’s former graduate students in celebrating the incredible Dori as she retires.   SCHEDULE: 9 a.m. Arrival, Coffee 9:30 a.m. Zoom session 11 a.m. In-person session 1 - 1 p.m. In-person session 2 2 p.m. Coffee 2:30 p.m. In-person session 3  Zoom Session Alex Benson, Chloë Kitzinger, Danny Luzon, Juliana Chow, Louis Klee, Luis Ramos, Gwen Haevens, Dean Krouk, Yael Segalovitz, Monica Hidalgo Kiran Keshavamurthy Karen Spira, Taylor Johnston-Levy, Manya Lempert, Rosetta Young  In-Person Sessions Ashley Barnes, Marta Figlerowicz, Laura Wagner, Katie Bondy, Amy Jamgochian, Chris Weinberger, Erika Clowes, Joseph Jeon, Benjamin Widiss, Florence Dore, Kim Magowan, Maisie Wiltshire-Gordon, Erin Edwards, Maia Rodriguez</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/english/event/245758-a-celebration-of-dori-hale</guid></item><item><title>Sick Plant Clinic, May 4</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/bot/event/241938-sick-plant-clinic</link><description> The Garden’s monthly Sick Plant Clinic is here to help!

Nichols, a huge win for immigrant students’ language access rights in schools. Lau was a historic Supreme Court decision in which the Court unanimously decided that the lack of supplemental language instruction in public school for students with limited English proficiency violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This community convening brings together students, parents, teachers, and other local stakeholders to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Lau v. Nichols, reflect on continued gaps for multilingual learners and families, and share opportunities for continued advocacy. The event highlights the significance of the Lau decision as a civil rights victory in education and language access. The convening will be multiracial and multilingual, including speaker panels on personal stories and expertise relevant to San Francisco history, current education policy, language access, and civil rights. Whether you are a student, teacher, parent, community member, or advocate, we would love to have you there!Program:<table class="cke_show_border"><colgroup><col width="215"/><col width="399"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>10:30am - 11:00am</td><td> Registration and Breakfast </td></tr><tr><td>11:00am - 11:30am</td><td> Welcome and Keynote speaker Lucinda Lee Katz, PhD </td></tr><tr><td>11:30am - 12:30pm</td><td> Opening Panel: The History of Lau v.

She casts a curious eye on graffiti and photorealism, roller disco and gang violence, evangelical Christians, Hare Krishnas, artists, angels, and ordinary Angelenos. Along the meandering way, we meet the creators of some of California’s most memorable wall art, including Judy Baca, mastermind of the Great Wall of Los Angeles project along the Los Angeles River; Arno Jordan, painter of the ironically bucolic scenes adorning the Farmer John meatpacking plant; and Kent Twitchell, who offers a theological rationale for a depiction of the Holy Trinity starring actors from Lassie, The Lone Ranger, and Father Knows Best. The film is very Varda and very LA: vibrating with color and surprising juxtapositions, rich in illusion and allusion. And like the movies, the murals are both monumental and ephemeral, destined to fade, many of them now gone.   Juliet Clark</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/240577-film-screening-mur-murs-documenteur</guid></item><item><title>UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, May 4</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/music/event/232523-uc-berkeley-symphony-orchestra</link><description>Reflets de l’ombre, Carmine Cella Rite of Spring, Stravinsky Alpine Symphony, Strauss David Milnes, conductor  Safety The UC Berkeley Department of Music is committed to the health and safety of our students, staff, and patrons.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241397-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Final Examinations, May 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/calparents/event/221147-final-examinations</link><description> Final Examinations</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/calparents/event/221147-final-examinations</guid></item><item><title>Pavement Management Systems and Preservation Strategies, May 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/224369-pavement-management-systems-and-preservation</link><description><h2>Description</h2> Pavement networks are often the most valuable asset that an agency owns. This asset is not only expensive to replace, but it is an essential component to the traveling public’s safety. Agencies are looking for more cost-effective ways to perform engineering, maintenance, management, and rehabilitation of roadways more than ever before to stretch funding allocations. A pavement management system is an essential tool to assist in cost-effective roadway maintenance planning. This is the primary overview course on pavement management systems and preservation strategies in the training certificate program offered by the City and County Pavement Improvement Center (CCPIC) in partnership with TechTransfer.  <h2>Topics Include</h2><ul><li>Pavement management principles </li><li>Street inventory development </li><li>Pavement condition surveys (pavement distresses) </li><li>Pavement condition indices </li><li>Quality management </li><li>Types of PMS software </li><li>Types of maintenance treatments </li><li>Performance prediction models </li><li>Funding scenarios </li><li>Developing a work plan using appropriate prioritization techniques </li><li>Data to use in communicating with elected officials </li></ul><h2>What You Will Learn</h2> This class will cover the fundamentals of pavement management systems (PMS). The student will learn the types of distresses included in a typical PMS, how pavements are surveyed for condition, and how condition and classification is used within a PMS. In addition, the inner workings of a PMS are described, covering prediction models and the use of varying funding scenarios and prioritization techniques to maximize your pavement network condition. The important topic of communicating with elected officials to sell your program will be covered. And preservation and maintenance techniques, commonly used by local agencies will be presented.<h2>Who Should Attend</h2> This course is designed for engineers or maintenance superintendents responsible for:<ul><li>Collecting data and updating a pavement management system </li><li>Determining the types of repairs for streets </li><li>Preparing cost-effective multi-year work plans e.g. resurfacing, seal programs, etc. </li><li>Planning how much funding is required for the future </li><li>Making presentations on funding street repairs to elected officials </li><li>Managing or maintenance of PMS software </li></ul><h2>Requirements</h2> Students should bring a calculator and pencil for in-class problems</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/224369-pavement-management-systems-and-preservation</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: Connect the Dots: Modeling Social Interactions from Multimodal Signals, May 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/242459-dissertation-talk-connect-the-dots-modeling-social</link><description> As social agents, humans have social intelligence that enables them to engage with others through complex signals such as facial expressions, body motion, and speech, among other communication modalities. Building systems that can perceive and model these fine-grain interaction dynamics is therefore essential for advancing human-machine interactions in everyday life. In this talk, I will share three of our recent advancements in this research area. The first one explores modeling nonverbal dyadic conversational dynamics between the facial expressions of a speaker and listener. The second one builds upon this prior work, expanding to full-body dynamics. Our final work then explores how we can incorporate higher-level syntactic understanding by leveraging large language models.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/242459-dissertation-talk-connect-the-dots-modeling-social</guid></item><item><title>OEW Seminar - Student Presentations, May 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/haas/event/236273-oew-seminar-student-presentations</link><description>Presenters: Edgar Sanchez Cuevas: TBD Silvia Farina: TBD</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/haas/event/236273-oew-seminar-student-presentations</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: Reliable Representation Learning: Theory and Practice, May 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245843-dissertation-talk-reliable-representation-learning</link><description> Machine learning models trained on vast amounts of data have achieved remarkable success across various applications. However, they also pose new challenges and risks for deployment in real-world, high-stakes domains. Decisions made by deep learning models are difficult to interpret, and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Moreover, large-scale machine learning models can memorize and leak private personal information. In this talk, I will describe our work towards building reliable machine learning systems through the lens of representation learning. First, I will present a white-box approach to understanding transformer models. I will show how to derive a family of mathematically interpretable transformer-like deep network architectures by maximizing the information gain of the learned representations. Next, I will introduce our work on understanding the effectiveness of learned representations using federated optimization methods, and present our approach for overcoming data heterogeneity when training deep, nonconvex models in a federated setting. Lastly, I will present our work on training the first set of vision and vision-language foundation models with rigorous differential privacy guarantees, and demonstrate the promise of high-utility differentially private representation learning.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245843-dissertation-talk-reliable-representation-learning</guid></item><item><title>Seminar 271: “Updating the State: Does Easier Access to Program Information Improve Bureaucrat Performance?”, May 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/237564-seminar-271-updating-the-state-does-easier-access-to-</link><description> Speaker: Yusuf Neggers</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/237564-seminar-271-updating-the-state-does-easier-access-to-</guid></item><item><title>The Identities and Subjectivities of the Ethnic Chinese in the Philippines: Examining the Exclusionary Practices of the Nation, May 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/cseas/event/245721-the-identities-and-subjectivities-of-the-ethnic</link><description>About the Talk: Chinese Filipinos have historically been implicated in a prejudicial politics of recognition within the Philippine postcolonial state, which has attempted to forge a national identity through problematic notions of ethnic and cultural purity. Nationalism as a tool of the state to foment social unity has incongruously led to the production of exclusionary discourses and collective anxieties against the Chinese in the Philippines. From colonial times to the present, this ethnic minority has been positioned by the state as an entity that requires continuous surveillance. The Chinese Filipinos’ allegiance to the state has continuously been undermined and called into question. The lingering distrust between the Chinese Filipinos and the nation-state created obstacles to the affirmative politics of cultural assimilation and belonging. Their complicated position continues to persist even after the formal decolonization of the Philippines and the mass naturalization efforts in the 1970s. They found themselves subjected to crime, government apathy, and discrimination. I consider this a manifestation of what Frantz Fanon calls the pitfalls of national consciousness, replicating the forms of exclusion that existed during the period of colonialism. This discussion seeks to examine enduring fears and anxieties about ‘Chineseness’ that widely circulate in the Philippine social and cultural imaginary. Specifically, I will revisit films such as Joel Lamangan’s Mano Po (2002) and Chito Roño’s Feng Shui (2004) to further elucidate on the issue.About the Speaker: Joseph Ching Velasco, Ph.D. is an associate professor of the Department of Political Science and Development Studies of De La Salle University, Manila.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229181-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, May 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/236424-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art</link><description>Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper.

In different activist endeavours students seek to raise awareness of UC Berkeley’s settler colonial past and legacy of white supremacy. They unearth, re-activate and relocate past atrocities in the present. The students call forth and are called upon by the past to dismantle structures of inequality on campus and beyond, and they encourage each other to be attentive to these structures. The unaddressed settler colonial past of the university is pulled to the fore by these students, in resonance with broader translocal calls for justice. In this talk, Lærke Cecilie Anbert will explore rumours and narratives of past logics that shape the present and future of UC Berkeley. Inspired by the theoretical framework of hauntology (Lincoln and Lincoln 2015), she shows that activist students understand current inequalities as directly connected to past atrocities and that this understanding of history positions the students as implicated. Being implicated both entail discomfort but also opens possibilities for action.<a href="https://forms.gle/vpngKoAP2GiemUPi8">RSVP</a></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/cshe/event/244625-how-do-we-name-the-air-that-we-breathe</guid></item><item><title>Probabilistic Operator Algebra Seminar: Structural properties of graph products of von Neumann algebras, May 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245844-probabilistic-operator-algebra-seminar-structural</link><description>I will discuss several recent results of mine with co-authors, on the structure of graph products of von Neumann algebras, around random matrix theory, rigidity and indecomposability, free entropy theory, gemetric group theory and $L^2$ invariants.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/math/event/245844-probabilistic-operator-algebra-seminar-structural</guid></item><item><title>CANCELED: Organic Chemistry Seminar, May 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/chem/event/230059-organic-chemistry-seminar</link><description> TBD</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/chem/event/230059-organic-chemistry-seminar</guid></item><item><title>Bridging the Gap Seminar: From New Mechanistic Insight to New Neurotherapeutic Ideas for Tauopathies, May 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/HWNI/event/245723-bridging-the-gap-seminar-from-new-mechanistic</link><description> Bridging the Gap: Translational Neuroscience Seminar Series, sponsored by the Weill Neurohub (<a href="https://www.weillneurohub.org/seminars" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.weillneurohub.org/seminars&source=gmail&ust=1706203679743000&usg=AOvVaw1q6qg4etc8NNHwB_ghUak9">weillneurohub.org/seminars</a>), explores challenges and opportunities for advancing translational neuroscience, in a format geared to support productive and valuable discussion:   Focus on Translation These seminars bring together scientists and clinicians to focus specifically on translation in neuroscience, highlighting and discussing key scientific and technical problems; sharing innovative approaches, techniques and strategies; and shining a light on successes, lessons and opportunities.   Fostering Connection The series links audiences and speakers from across the Weill Neurohub-affiliated universities (UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, University of Washington) as well as industry partners Roche and Genentech, who are joined to the Weill Neurohub through the Alliance for Therapies in Neuroscience partnership.   Engaging Format Each seminar features a 30-minute chalk-talk-style presentation, followed by ample time for lively discussion and informal engagement by attendees.  </description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/HWNI/event/245723-bridging-the-gap-seminar-from-new-mechanistic</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: Co-Designing Cryptographic Systems with Resource-Constrained Hardware, May 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245841-dissertation-talk-co-designing-cryptographic</link><description> Sensitive private information is increasingly processed on relatively public networks and systems (e.g. data analytics or machine learning workloads at large companies). While cryptographic techniques can protect sensitive information, performant deployments are still out of reach because they assume better system capabilities than currently exist. In this talk, I will present my work on adapting cryptography for specialized hardware constraints in order to achieve both performance and privacy. I’ll cover several systems we developed: Nebula, a protocol for embedded sensors and mobile phones to retrieve data from anywhere without leaking user participation; Piranha, a platform to accelerate multiparty computation-based ML training; and finally, a system to increase both the scale and throughput of zero-knowledge proving. In each of these cases, I’ll discuss how considering the compute, energy, and memory constraints of specialized hardware allows us to recast expensive cryptographic problems into practically-efficient systems.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245841-dissertation-talk-co-designing-cryptographic</guid></item><item><title>Disability Management: Navigating the Process, May 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/uhs/event/236077-disability-management-navigating-the-process</link><description> This presentation provides an overview of the disability management process from the employee point of view.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229180-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Added Dimensions: Designing Pop-Up Books for Art, Architecture and Amusement, May 8</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/236423-added-dimensions-designing-pop-up-books-for-art</link><description>Tucked away among the Environmental Design Library’s 100,000 volume on-site collection are several “how-to” books focused on modeling space using paper.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241395-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Traffic Signal Design: Engineering Concepts, May 8</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/229058-traffic-signal-design-engineering-concepts</link><description><h2>Description</h2> This newly updated course covers basic concepts, standards, and practices related to the design and installation of traffic signals. Within the framework of the California Vehicle Code, California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), and Chapter 9 on Highway Lighting from Caltrans Traffic Manual, this course will explore the relationship among various engineering disciplines as foundations for signal design; introduce signal phasing diagrams, signal controllers and cabinets; explain the layouts of signal heads, signal poles, conductor schedule, and associated signal conduits, pullboxes, wiring, interconnects, detection and safety lighting. The course includes lectures, sample problems, and exercise projects that will familiarize the course participant with the design process for a simple signal design plan, and to provide for a unit-price-based cost estimate. While this course will focus only on the introductory engineering aspects in signal design and introduce some local agencies’ equivalent standards and specifications that vary from Caltrans, the goal is for the course participants to become familiar with standards and specifications that guide the design and lead to successful project delivery of an operational traffic signal.  <h2>Topics Include</h2><ul><li>relationship of street designs and signal designs </li><li>signal phasing, controllers, cabinets </li><li>signal phasing </li><li>signal heads, poles, conduits, pullboxes, detection </li><li>intersection safety lighting </li><li>the format of contract documents </li></ul><h2>What You Will Learn</h2> Students gain a good working understanding of concepts and standards needed to develop plans for traffic signal installations, including step-by-step procedures.<h2>Who Should Attend</h2> This is an introductory course targeted for traffic engineers, technicians, and maintenance and construction personnel with little or no experience in how to plan for and install traffic signals.<h2>Requirements</h2> Please bring the following tools to the course: pocket calculator, engineer’s scale (with 1:20 scale), 12” straight edge, and four colored pencils (red, green, blue, black).

Can we harness the power of this technology to its maximum potential? In this talk, I will explore three foundational problems that are crucial for its successful adaptation. First, I look at planning and control for linearly connected systems. Specifically, I present algorithms and experiments that mitigate a common issue in these systems known as stop-and-go waves. Next, I study locally connected systems with an emphasis on distributed trajectory planning. To this end, I have developed a video dataset on distributed vehicle coordination and a consensus algorithm to model the conflict resolution observed in the dataset. Lastly, I consider the planning problem for fully connected systems, concentrating on identifying theoretical upper bound of system performance through numerical approximation using a mixed-integer program.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245649-dissertation-talk-on-planning-and-control-for</guid></item><item><title>Computer Ergonomics 101, May 8</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/uhs/event/236779-computer-ergonomics-101</link><description> Learn how to set up a user-friendly ergonomic workstation and incorporate wellness activities to help relieve computer-related aches and pains.

For example, higher predictive accuracy of an ML model for predicting student dropout risk does not always yield better student outcomes downstream. Such mismatches between metrics and goals present a challenge to both policymakers seeking to audit algorithmic systems, and engineers and researchers formulating ML problems. In this talk, I will discuss theoretical, algorithmic, and qualitative approaches to bridging gaps between metrics and goals. First, I will discuss recent work on understanding how metrics fit into an ecosystem of stakeholders – specifically, I will show how causal metrics can improve social welfare in ranking systems when entities being ranked can strategically respond. Second, I will discuss implementation gaps between theory and practice in Fair ML, using robust optimization approaches to handle noisy data. Finally, I will touch on a qualitative interview study in ML applied in education settings, and discuss open questions towards better problem formulations when ML fits into social contexts with interactions between stakeholders.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/241810-dissertation-talk-bridging-gaps-between-metrics</guid></item><item><title>Global Economic Developments: A View from the IMF, May 8</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ssm/event/245083-global-economic-developments-a-view-from-the-imf</link><description> UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff are invited to join us on May 8, 2024 from 2:00pm-3:00pm for a town hall meeting with <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/About/senior-officials/Bios/gita-gopinath">Gita Gopinath</a>, the First Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241393-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Decolonization and the Afterlives of Fanon Conference, May 10</title><link>https://www.afterlivesoffanon.com</link><description/><guid>https://www.afterlivesoffanon.com</guid></item><item><title>Dissertation Talk: The Search for Collaborators, May 10</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245541-dissertation-talk-the-search-for-collaborators</link><description> In systems of distributed agents who are simultaneously learning, how can one distinguish good collaborators from bad? I answer this question through the lens of two technical frameworks: federated stochastic optimization and bargaining mechanisms. With the first, I propose ways for aligned agents (e.g. those with similar data distributions or objective functions) to collaboratively train their models, and design algorithms with optimal convergence guarantees. With the second, I propose mechanisms that incentivize competitive agents to collaborate. Framing the problem as an oligopoly, I show that, through bargaining, competitive agents can collaborate by sharing data with each other while simultaneously improving their individual utilities.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245541-dissertation-talk-the-search-for-collaborators</guid></item><item><title>Labor Lunch Seminar:, May 10</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/236152-labor-lunch-seminar</link><description> Labor Lunch</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/econ/event/236152-labor-lunch-seminar</guid></item><item><title>Start Anytime Online Science Courses Online Information Session, May 10</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/extension/event/243526-start-anytime-online-science-courses-online-informati</link><description> Start Anytime Online Science courses are continuous enrollment (CE), which means the course is open for enrollment at any time and starts at the time you register.

The thesis tackles two algorithmic challenges arising from large-scale ML—robustness to noisy training data and memory-efficiency of the learning algorithms. Motivated by the first, I propose (i) the fastest algorithm for learning the mean of high-dimensional heavy-tailed distributions and (ii) a unified analysis framework for robust estimation. For memory-efficiency, I give the first sub-linear space algorithm for online prediction, the most classic problem in sequential learning. I conclude with future directions on algorithms for modern ML.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245589-dissertation-talk-algorithms-for-robust-and</guid></item><item><title>Recentering Your Mind: An Introduction of Mindfulness Meditation for UC Berkeley Staff Session 4, May 10</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/244637-recentering-your-mind-an-introduction-of-mindfulness-</link><description>The Recentering Your Mind: An Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation, a transformative 4-week program designed exclusively for UC Berkeley staff, aimed at introducing mindfulness meditation as a powerful tool for cultivating a balanced and centered mind.  In today’s world, mindfulness meditation is an important tool that will enable you to consistently and successfully deal with the stress associated with work and life.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today.

The campus has long sparked the creativity of fiction writers, inspiring them to use it as a backdrop, a key player, or a barely disguised character within their tales. This exhibition highlights examples of these portrayals through book covers, excerpts, illustrations, photographs, and other materials largely selected from the University Archives and general collections of The Bancroft Library.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/224124-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, May 14</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229174-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229174-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, May 14</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241389-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years.

This course will enable you to develop and evaluate the performance of two types of traffic signal coordination – time of day and traffic responsive systems. For time of day and traffic responsive coordinated systems, attendees will learn how to determine good timing and coordinated solutions with innovative approaches for managing vehicle queues, progressing turns, and addressing potential gridlock situations, how to find optimal timing solutions, and how to safely accommodate non-motorists. Students will work on signal timing plans for several signals along arterials including freeway interchange signals; assess whether more complex timing solutions offer operational improvements; solve specialized problems such as offset intersections and diamond interchanges; and learn to perform analysis and evaluation of traffic volumes and field checks. The operational concept for traffic adaptive systems will be introduced. A basic knowledge of Synchro is helpful. For other Tech Transfer courses for the above topics beyond this course, please see <a href="https://registration.techtransfer.berkeley.edu/wconnect/ShowSchedule.awp?&Mode=GROUP&Group=ENG&Title=Engineering+Courses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Traffic Signals</a>.  <h2>Topics Include</h2><ul><li>principles of traffic signal coordination </li><li>analysis of volume and system characteristics </li><li>software and hardware requirements for signal coordination for each time of day, traffic responsive, and traffic adaptive systems </li><li>use of SYNCHRO to develop time of day and traffic responsive timing plans </li><li>find optimal timing solutions </li><li>hands-on entering and understanding coordinated signal timing sheets </li><li>performance comparison of the three timing strategies </li><li>overall evaluation of maintenance of optimized signal timing and operations </li><li>integration of arterial systems with freeway ramp metering and control systems. </li></ul><h2>What You Will Learn</h2> Students learn to plan major signal coordination projects, when to use the different types of timing strategy (time of day, traffic responsive, traffic adaptive), how to proceed from data collection to satisfactory system operation and fine-tuning, and how to update signal coordination plans as traffic conditions change over time. Traffic adaptive software, a key to many “intelligent” traffic management systems, will be introduced.<h2>Who Should Attend</h2> This course is designed for traffic engineers from public agencies and consulting firms who already have some experience in signal coordination work, or who have completed prerequisite courses equivalent to Traffic Signal Operations: Isolated Intersections (<a href="https://registration.techtransfer.berkeley.edu/wconnect/CourseStatus.awp?&course=0500TE040000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TE-04</a>) and Synchro and SimTraffic (<a href="https://registration.techtransfer.berkeley.edu/wconnect/CourseStatus.awp?&course=0500TE130000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TE-13</a>).</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/229059-traffic-signal-operations-coordination-for</guid></item><item><title>History Commencement, May 14</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/History/event/223421-history-commencement</link><description> 2024 History Commencement.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/History/event/223421-history-commencement</guid></item><item><title>Class of 2024 Engineering Master’s Degree Commencement, May 14</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/coe/event/229317-class-of-2024-engineering-masters-degree</link><description> The College of Engineering will host a commencement ceremony for Master’s degree graduates of the Class of 2024, their family and friends on Tuesday, May 14.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/coe/event/229317-class-of-2024-engineering-masters-degree</guid></item><item><title>People & Culture Inclusive Leadership Academy: Closing Session:Participant presentations, May 14</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/deib/event/230609-people-culture-inclusive-leadership-academy-closing-s</link><description> The Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging within People & Culture, will partner with the Center for Equity, Gender & Leadership in the Berkeley Haas School of Business, to host the People & Culture Inclusive Leadership Academy (PCLA).

Determining how these aspects of language are represented in the human brain is crucial for understanding human cognition, and for finding ways to improve language models. In this talk, I will focus on a series of studies that use engaging natural tasks to determine how language is represented in the human brain. I will present results that show how words are represented across different languages, how words are integrated into higher-level meaning representations, and how semantic relations between words are represented. Throughout the talk, I will highlight connections between representations of language in the brain and in language models.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/eecs/event/245500-dissertation-talk</guid></item><item><title>Class of 2024 Engineering Baccalaureate Degree Commencement, May 14</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/coe/event/242509-class-of-2024-engineering-baccalaureate-degree-commen</link><description> The College of Engineering will host a commencement ceremony for Baccalaureate degree graduates of the Class of 2024, their family and friends on Tuesday, May 14.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/coe/event/242509-class-of-2024-engineering-baccalaureate-degree-commen</guid></item><item><title>Ruth Wilson Gilmore | The Soviets and Abolition, May 14</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/pct/event/245535-ruth-wilson-gilmore-the-soviets-and-abolition</link><description> In her Introduction to the 2024 Verso edition of the collection of Lenin’s writings, Imperialism and the National Question, “The Soviets and Abolition”, renowned prison abolitionist, geographer and director of the Center for Place Culture and Politics at the CUNY Graduate Center asks: “What do these writings show us about theory breaking into practice, and how might the politics explained or implicit in these writings inform our analytical and practical grasp of what is to be done now?” We are privileged to join Professor Gilmore in seminar discussion on these themes.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century.

It classifies these elements into six themes in a customized report. The Strong report can help you assess your career focus and support your career-planning process. Please note that the SII assessment measures interests, not skills or abilities. The results can help guide you toward rewarding careers, work activities, education and training programs, and leisure activities—all based on your interests. We will use the Strong Interest Inventory 244, an updated version of the Strong Assessment designed to be more inclusive and insightful for individuals exploring life interests and career pathways.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/236319-interests-in-life-work-with-the-strong-interest-inven</guid></item><item><title>Microsoft Excel Formulas and Functions, May 15</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/229144-microsoft-excel-formulas-and-functions</link><description><div class="col-md-12"><p title="This course describes the process by which calculations are created in Microsoft Excel workbooks.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229172-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, May 16</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241387-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241387-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Ritual actions of Phoenician women in the Levant in the 1st millennium BC: purposes and modalities (Dr. Ida Oggiano), May 16</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/arf/event/219466-ritual-actions-of-phoenician-women-in-the-levant</link><description> This lecture is part of the series Women and Gender in the Phoenician Homeland and Diaspora.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229170-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, May 18</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241385-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241385-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Newcomer Support Initiative, May 18</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ucbhssp/event/240483-newcomer-support-initiative</link><description> Join History-Social Science teachers from across the Bay Area to share ideas and learn from others about how to support newcomer students.

Bring your love of gardens to a whole new level with a nature journal. Nature journaling is the act of putting pen (or pencil) to paper to observe aspects of nature with curiosity and attention. At this in-person workshop you’ll learn about establishing (or enhancing) your nature journaling practice in the beautiful environment of the UC Botanical Garden. The focus is on experiencing and visually expressing our curiosity about plants and nature, not about making detailed botanical or wildlife art. In this practice, “art” is the experience you have while you’re doing it. After a brief orientation and warm-up learning activities you will have hands-on observation and drawing time in the Garden. Using words, pictures, and numbers you will capture the forms, shapes, and textures of the plants of your choice. You will practice foundational techniques such as basic drawing, annotation, and a variety of observations that prompt both deeper questions and a deeper connections to the plants. Kate will be available for questions and individual instruction during the Garden journaling time. The group will reconvene toward the close of the workshop to talk about our experiences and learn from each other. Add “Kit” to purchase all needed materials for this workshop OR bring the below items with you:<ul><li>Journal: notebook without lines </li><li>Notation Tools: Papermate Sharp Write #2 pencil, Tombow Fudenosuke Fine Point Black pen, Zebra Midliner Gray double-ended pen </li><li>Observation Tools: Pocket mirror, ruler, magnifying loupe </li><li>Carry-all: Apron with pockets or a caddy </li></ul> All skill levels welcome; no prior experience necessary. The workshop will be held rain or shine. Come enjoy the beautiful botanical garden setting!

This course presents fundamental concepts from multiple disciplines that are essential to practicing ergonomics. The course begins with core topics from anatomy, kinesiology and the physiology of work as applied to human abilities and limitations. The class continues with an exploration of biomechanics, anthropometry, physical and psychosocial ergonomic risk factors and analytic methods to mitigate risk exposure. Finally, cognitive and macro ergonomics models are introduced along with considerations for the professional ergonomist. Learners will also evaluate different environments based on concepts introduced in this course. Pulling these pieces together ensures a comprehensive approach to Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) to both minimize injury and optimize worker performance.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/bph/event/243583-erg100-foundations-for-cognitive-macro-and</guid></item><item><title>ERG150: Macroergonomics: A Systems Approach to Human Factors and Ergonomics, May 20</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/bph/event/243584-erg150-macroergonomics-a-systems-approach-to-human</link><description> This 8-week, asynchronous online course taught by Michelle Robertson, CPE, PhD, presents fundamental concepts from multiple disciplines that are essential to understanding and implementing macroergonomics principles.

On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229167-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, May 21</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241382-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241382-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>RAPDP Intermediate - Non-Federal Cost Policy & Compliance, May 21</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/241201-rapdp-intermediate-non-federal-cost-policy-compliance</link><description>A 3-hour intermediate workshop that builds upon Federal Cost Policy and Compliance by using case studies to explore the types of terms and conditions often found in non-Federal sponsored agreements.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal.

These tools have greatly enabled the study of genomes and gene function, and their advancement to therapeutic development has demonstrated promise for addressing a host of unmet medical needs. Our understanding of how endogenous cellular processes influence the activity of these tools, however, lags behind their application and, due to the rapid pace of technology development, behind efforts to build new approaches. Our work focuses on identifying cellular determinants of genome editing tools to better understand how they work. Our results provide key insights into how those tools interact with the cellular environment and suggest general strategies for improvement.

Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229164-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, May 24</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241379-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241379-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Redwood Seminar: Recurrence through the bottleneck: theory-driven experiments on the Central-peripheral Dichotomy, May 24</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/HWNI/event/244619-redwood-seminar-recurrence-through-the-bottleneck-the</link><description>Abstract: I will present the Central-peripheral Dichotomy (CPD) theory (Zhaoping <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2017.05.002">2017</a>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conb.2019.06.001">2019</a>) together with visual psychophysics tests of its predictions. CPD states that central vision is specialized for seeing (recognizing), and peripheral vision for looking (shifting gaze/attention). Given an information bottleneck that is proposed to start with the connection from the primary visual cortex (V1) to higher visual areas, CPD suggests that mainly central rather than peripheral vision enjoys rich top-down feedback that aids seeing. Two theoretical predictions follow: First, some visual illusions should be visible in peripheral, but not central, vision, because peripheral vision is misled by the impoverished feed-forward information that makes it through the bottleneck from V1. Central vision avoids this fate by exploiting top-down feedback. Second, central vision should be susceptible to the same illusions when top-down feedback is compromised, for instance by backwards masking. Both predictions are confirmed in a reversed depth illusion created using random-dot stereograms. These behavioral confirmations also suggest an easily feasible paradigm for neurophysiological studies in behaving animals on how the recurrent processing for visual recognition could be implemented, to further test the CPD theory.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/HWNI/event/244619-redwood-seminar-recurrence-through-the-bottleneck-the</guid></item><item><title>Certificate Program in Clinical Research Conduct and Management Online Information Session, May 24</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/extension/event/238085-certificate-program-in-clinical-research-conduct-and-</link><description> Master the practical aspects of running and managing a clinical trial, including trial design and phases, good clinical practices, the drug discovery and development process, and quality control and assurance.

Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241375-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Open and Collaborative Methods for Studying Human Emotion (Bay Area Open Science Group May Meeting), May 28</title><link>https://berkeley.libcal.com/event/12343767</link><description>Zoom information registration This month the Bay Area Open Science Group will be joined by Nicholas Coles.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229159-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, May 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241374-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century.

Typically, the design and construction of work spaces are conceptualized and executed almost exclusively by architect and construction firms, with little input from the future occupants (e.g., workers). This doesn’t have to be the scenario occupants are faced with when architects and designers collaborate with TWH professionals on work space design. This presentation describes a new building project where health and well-being considerations were introduced at the very beginning and throughout the design planning process and occupants (academic faculty and staff) participated fully through the entire planning phase.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/bph/event/245563-creating-new-work-spaces-using-a-total-worker</guid></item><item><title>Living With Illness: Planning for Life and Quality of Life, May 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/uhs/event/236675-living-with-illness-planning-for-life-and-quality-of-</link><description> Being an elderly family member’s caregiver can be confusing and frustrating at times. Ideas you have about the elder’s care needs may be met with resistance by the elder or by other family members. In this workshop, we will explore the various roles you play in your life, responsibilities you take on as caregivers to an elder, and ways to respond to reluctance, yours and theirs. We will also look at self care strategies to reduce the stress of caring. Presenter:  Greg Merrill, LCSW, has worked full-time as a social worker for over 30 years. He was the social work supervisor at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital’s Trauma Recovery Center and served as the Director of Field Education and a Lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Social Welfare. He was a caregiver for his father who lived with Parkinson’s Disease. For the last 2 years, he has worked as a clinical social worker in Outpatient Palliative Care at UCSF Medical Center Please Note: The Zoom link will be sent to the participants by email, and add it to this workshop description a day before the workshop.All participants and hosts must sign into a Zoom account before joining meetings hosted by UC Berkeley.  Participants who are not eligible for a UC Berkeley-provided Zoom account can use a Zoom account provided by their institution, can create a free consumer Zoom account (at https://zoom.us/freesignup/), or can dial in via the phone.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/uhs/event/236675-living-with-illness-planning-for-life-and-quality-of-</guid></item><item><title>EXHIBIT: A Storied Campus: Cal in Fiction, May 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229025-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</link><description> Mention of the name University of California, Berkeley, evokes a range of images: a celebrated institution, a seat of innovation, protests and activism, iconic architecture, colorful traditions, and … literary muse?

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241371-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Sick Plant Clinic, June 1</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/bot/event/245272-sick-plant-clinic</link><description> The Garden’s monthly Sick Plant Clinic is here to help!

The campus has long sparked the creativity of fiction writers, inspiring them to use it as a backdrop, a key player, or a barely disguised character within their tales. This exhibition highlights examples of these portrayals through book covers, excerpts, illustrations, photographs, and other materials largely selected from the University Archives and general collections of The Bancroft Library.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229098-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, June 2</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229155-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups.

We will discuss VMT and its relationship to climate change impacts; the legislative history of VMT in California, including Senate Bills (SBs) 375 and 743; and an overview of the new CEQA Guidelines update. We will also discuss means by which local agencies can continue to address the issue of traffic congestion outside of the CEQA process. OPR has selected vehicle-miles-of-travel VMT as the preferred metric to comply with SB 743. The recommended changes to the CEQA Guidelines include a Technical Advisory that provides recommendations about VMT screening, methodology, and thresholds. These recommendations require fundamental changes in current transportation impact analysis practices and have implications for transportation planning as part of general plans and regional transportation plans. This course will explain the technical details of how to address these changes and include detailed step-by-step flow-chart explanations of how to analyze land use projects, transportation projects, land use plans (e.g., general plans), and regional transportation plans under SB 743.  <h2>Topics Include</h2><ul><li>What is vehicle miles travelled (VMT)? </li><li>VMT and its relationship to greenhouse gas emissions </li><li>The legislative evolution of VMT </li><ul><li>SB 375 - Sustainable Communities Strategy </li><li>SB 743 - mandate to update the CEQA Guidelines </li></ul><ul><li>The CEQA Guidelines <ul><li>Role of the Guidelines </li><li>OPR’s task to update the CEQA Guidelines </li><li>The underlying philosophy - encourage infill, discourage sprawl </li><li>What the CEQA Guidelines say </li><li>OPR’s technical advisory </li></ul></li></ul><ul><li>Is LOS still a thing? </li><ul><li>Exception for “roadway capacity projects” </li><li>Local development standards to limit congestion take the place of CEQA mitigation </li><li>Local traffic impact ordinances can live on </li></ul><ul><li>Role of VMT in environmental impact analysis versus transportation planning </li><li>VMT estimation and forecasting methods </li><ul><li>Data and models </li><li>Project versus cumulative analysis </li><li>Differences in methods for energy, air quality, GHG, and transportation impacts </li><li>Induced Travel </li></ul><ul><li>Role of the ARB’s Mobile Source Strategy in establishing substantial evidence for significance thresholds </li><li>Role of RTPs and general plans in setting significance thresholds </li><li>Mitigation sources, strategies, and limitations </li></ul></ul></ul><h2>What You Will Learn</h2> This class will provide attendees with a background of CEQA’s VMT traffic metric, including an understanding of the origins of the new traffic metric; a discussion of the new CEQA Guidelines provisions on VMT, including an introduction to the OPR technical advisory; and suggestions on how local agencies can adapt so that concerns about congestion and traffic impact fee programs can be addressed outside of CEQA. Students will obtain a rich set of practical information to help them navigate SB 743 compliance. This will include how to estimate and forecast VMT using a variety of methods and what limitations apply; how to relate VMT reduction goals across technical topic areas including energy, air quality, greenhouse gases, and transportation; how to select the form of VMT that is most useful in measuring transportation impacts; how to select appropriate thresholds; and what constitutes substantial evidence to support these decisions. <h2>Who Should Attend</h2> This course is intended for planners, engineers, policy analysts, and CEQA practitioners, among others, in private or public practice who want to understand the technical details associated with SB 743 implementation and the fundamental changes in current transportation impact analysis practices. It will also provide a foundational understanding of the origins and underlying philosophy behind California’s new VMT traffic metric. </ul></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/240402-vmt-metrics-policy-application-technical</guid></item><item><title>BPM 204 Building Teams, June 5</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/244941-bpm-204-building-teams</link><description> Access to registration is disabled two days prior to the event.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229286-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>EXHIBIT: A Storied Campus: Cal in Fiction, June 6</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229287-exhibit-a-storied-campus-cal-in-fiction</link><description> Mention of the name University of California, Berkeley, evokes a range of images: a celebrated institution, a seat of innovation, protests and activism, iconic architecture, colorful traditions, and … literary muse?

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241366-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, June 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229318-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement?

(Thailand Moment was completed posthumously in 2015 by Harrod Blank, edited by Ben Abrams.) The next year, they went on to make the musical portrait The Blues Accordin’ to Lightnin’ Hopkins, which features the lively combination of music, food, and anecdotes that has come to characterize Blank’s style.

It achieves one of animation’s—and cinema’s—most wonderful effects: fabricating a world, immaculately realized, that is at once unbelievable and believable. In a long-ago Japan, a war is raging for the future of Earth, one that sets the animal kingdom against humanity, nature against pollution, and harmony against chaos. Two humans stand between the worlds, and amid the bloodshed: San, a feral child raised by wolves, who considers herself animal and humans her enemies; and Ashitaka, a man whose peacefulness hides a great power, and an even greater curse.  </div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ao-curator-authors-roles field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><div class="large-12" about="/field-collection/field-ao-curator-authors-roles/274085"><div class="description-person"> Jason Sanders </div></div></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245814-film-screening-princess-mononoke</guid></item><item><title>Film Screening: The Early Years: A Well Spent Life and Spend It All, June 8</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245803-film-screening-the-early-years-a-well-spent-life</link><description><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden field-wrapper body field">A Well Spent Life is a portrait of legendary Texas blues songster and guitarist Mance Lipscomb. Featuring Lipscomb’s life-affirming views on love, music, and human comradeship, this encounter reveals the bluesman’s world and Les Blank’s graceful filmmaking of the American South. Spend It All is a beautiful celebration of the food and music of French-speaking Cajuns of Louisiana, featuring Nathan Abshire, the Balfa Brothers, and Marc Savoy. Werner Herzog was so inspired by this work that he famously lifted one of the most memorable scenes for his own film Stroszek. Preceding the documentaries, we present a short documentary interview with Chris Strachwitz, who founded Arhoolie Records and recalls meeting Mance Lipscomb. </div><div class="field field-name-curator-notes-1st field-type-ds field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><section class="block block-views block-views-event-curator-notes-block-1"><div class="view view-event-curator-notes view-id-event_curator_notes view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-2fa1d68eb595f2fe13132c1afb654502"><div class="view-content"><div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"><div class="views-field views-field-field-ao-curator-description"><div class="field-content"></div></div></div></div></div></section></div><div class="field field-name-film-details field-type-ds field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><section class="block block-views block-views-film-details-block"></section></div><div class="field field-name-multiple-films field-type-ds field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><section class="block block-views block-views-multiple-films-block"><h5>FILMS IN THIS SCREENING</h5><section class="single-preceded-by">A Well Spent Life: Meeting Mance Kim Hendrickson, United States, 2014 </section></section></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245803-film-screening-the-early-years-a-well-spent-life</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, June 9</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229393-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229393-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, June 9</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241363-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years. Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century.

The Castle of Cagliostro opens as Arsène Lupin III—a roguish, James Bond–like, international gentleman thief of mystery—and his trusty aide-de-camp and best friend, Daisuke Jigen, discover that the mountain of cash they just stole is counterfeit. The chain-smoking duo’s investigation leads them to the Monaco-like microstate of Cagliostro, where they must expose the counterfeiting plot and rescue a damsel in distress from the castle tower. Bravura setpieces and pastoral vistas “showcase Miyazaki’s obsessively detailed, gloriously colorful animation style” (Tasha Robinson, AV Club).  </div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ao-curator-authors-roles field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><div class="large-12" about="/field-collection/field-ao-curator-authors-roles/274093"><div class="description-person"> Jeff Griffith-Perham </div></div></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245816-film-screening-lupin-iii-the-castle-of-cagliostro</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, June 10</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229395-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement?

</a> Taiwan has been much in the news in recent years, but mostly as a “problem,” neglecting the fact that it refers to a population with a history, identity, culture, cuisine, flourishing democracy, and far-flung diaspora. This panel, comprising a multi-disciplinary lineup, explores these issues from different perspectives, drawing together fresh scholarly research from a new generation of Taiwan-focused academics, as well as their policy implications for Taiwan, the U.S., and the global community. Please join us for a panel discussion on Taiwan with members of the U.S.-Taiwan Next Generation Working Group. This event will be moderated by <a href="https://ieas.berkeley.edu/taiwan/senior-advisors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Thomas B.

The program, which is administered by the Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) at UC Berkeley and sponsored by the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in San Francisco, provides a cohort of multidisciplinary specialists the opportunity to further develop their understanding of key policy issues by engaging in a series of high-level meetings with stakeholders (policymakers, government officials, business, opinion leaders, etc.) in Taiwan and the United States. The program aims to facilitate more rigorous discussions on issues of importance to the U.S.-Tawian relationship, promote the understanding of Taiwanese points of view in international venues, support Taiwan and the United States in promoting their key mutual values, and strengthen U.S.-Taiwan coordination in global affairs. The program is conducted under the advisement of Thomas B.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241361-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Type 170 & 2070 Traffic Signal Controllers, June 11</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/229060-type-170-2070-traffic-signal-controllers</link><description><h2>Description</h2> This interactive course covers both similarities and differences in between the Model 170 & 2070 traffic signal controller. These rack mount controllers interface with a variety of electrical cabinet assembly styles, including the ever-popular classic, Model 332 standard. This hands-on course provides working knowledge about the capabilities, applications, and operations of these two controller types, as well as how to program signal timing plans into the controller using various local intersection software programs. The course covers all key topics ranging from controller hardware, module options, diagnostic tools, and field applications. Course instruction includes in-depth implementation issues, and to how to upgrade from NEMA TS1, TS2, or rack mount controllers. The course combines lectures with classroom exercises, case studies, and hands-on controller labs.<h2>Topics Include</h2><ul><li>Hardware module & I/O differences between the Type 170 & 2070 controller platform </li><li>Selection criteria and specification differences unique to each platform type </li><li>Lessons learned from early installations, including use of diagnostic tools for each type </li><li>Signal timing plan strategy for both free and coordinated signal operation. Central system integration, field communications, and NTCIP standard considerations </li><li>Interfacing and signal timing strategies related to controller cabinet assemblies </li><li>Strategies and best practices related to controller maintenance & operations (M&O), and safety </li><li>Vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle detection features available for each controller platform </li><li>Planning for a successful mixed-use environment of 170 & 2070 controllers, and their associated central control software programs </li><li>Advanced operations applications involving transit signal priority, mid-block pedestrian crossings, and peer-peer communications </li><li>Advanced applications related to high-resolution data collection requirement for signal performance measures and connected vehicle operations </li></ul><h2>What You Will Learn</h2> Students gain a working knowledge of both 170 & 2070 controller operation, including how to deploy the 2070 and integrate these controllers within the agency’s jurisdiction. From the controller lab, students will also learn to identify each of the various controller hardware modules, their functions, expansion features, and limitations.<h2>Who Should Attend</h2> All individuals in planning, engineering, and electrical-maintenance fields interested in gaining knowledge and proficiency of signal controllers should attend. Specifically, a need or study in the uses and operations of deploying traffic signal controllers in a field environment will benefit from this course. No prior background in traffic controllers is required, although basic knowledge of traffic signal timing is desirable. New students and returning “refresher course” professionals will benefit from the instruction related to both popular controller hardware styles.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/229060-type-170-2070-traffic-signal-controllers</guid></item><item><title>Human Rights Due Diligence: New Laws for Global Supply Chains, June 11</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/bph/event/245566-human-rights-due-diligence-new-laws-for-global</link><description> Due to the failure of voluntary self-regulation through corporate social responsibility programs to protect supply chain workers, governments in Europe and North America are enacting laws to require international brands to conduct “human rights due diligence” of their supply chains. The HRDD-related laws require transnational corporations to assess the adverse impacts of their operations, develop publicly-reported corrective action plans, and interact with affected communities and workers. These laws, controversial and uneven in their rigor and impact, are coming into effect now, and will shape the practice of occupational and environmental health professionals for years to come. The presentation will describe the history, content, and controversies surrounding HRDD laws, and their impact on industrial hygiene around the world.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/bph/event/245566-human-rights-due-diligence-new-laws-for-global</guid></item><item><title>Monthly BIPOC Support Group, June 11</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/uhs/event/212173-monthly-bipoc-support-group</link><description> This virtual space is for Black, Indigenous, and staff and faculty of Color to join together in community for discussion, support, and encouragement.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229450-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, June 12</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241360-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241357-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Film Screening: Spirited Away, June 15</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245817-film-screening-spirited-away</link><description><div class="field field-name-curator-notes-1st field-type-ds field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><section class="block block-views block-views-event-curator-notes-block-1"><div class="view view-event-curator-notes view-id-event_curator_notes view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-e5935ccff24fc14f8b8dc18bd88284fe"><div class="view-content"><div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"><div class="views-field views-field-field-ao-curator-description"><div class="field-content"> Ever the nostalgic fabulist, Hayao Miyazaki builds a passage between modern, everyday Japanese life and the half-remembered realms of spirits and folklore in this compelling adventure, winner of numerous international prizes, including the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. En route to their new suburban home, ten-year-old Chihiro and her parents stumble upon an abandoned theme park that turns out to be a true magic kingdom. As always, Miyazaki makes this fantastic world feel utterly real, populating it with complex, mutable characters, precisely calibrating visual details, and infusing an allegorical yet organic plot with nuanced emotion.  </div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ao-curator-authors-roles field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><div class="large-12" about="/field-collection/field-ao-curator-authors-roles/274100"><div class="description-person"> Juliet Clark </div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245817-film-screening-spirited-away</guid></item><item><title>Film Screening: A Poem Is a Naked Person, June 15</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245804-film-screening-a-poem-is-a-naked-person</link><description> Considered by Les Blank to be one of his major accomplishments, A Poem Is a Naked Person is a documentary about the compelling singer-songwriter Leon Russell. Blank and Gosling spent much of the period 1972–74 filming in northeast Oklahoma, but the film was only released posthumously in 2015, when Harrod Blank was successful in resolving creative differences with Russell and clearing the music rights. “A Poem Is a Naked Person is, finally, a reflection on what it is to be alive, told in the visual and aural and musical idioms of its time and place. It’s that big. It is about life as motion, just going, from day to day” (Kent Jones, Current).</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245804-film-screening-a-poem-is-a-naked-person</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, June 16</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229849-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups.

This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/229961-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Critical Voices in DEIB 2024, June 20</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/deib/event/232319-critical-voices-in-deib-2024</link><description> The Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) presents the Critical Voices in DEIB series.

Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241348-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Airport Systems Planning and Design (53rd Annual Short Course), June 24</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ttp/event/236910-airport-systems-planning-and-design-53rd-annual</link><description><h2>Description</h2> The course is being offered in association with the National Center of Excellence for Aviation Operations Research (NEXTOR).

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/230086-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Centering Philippine and Filipinx American Histories: Selections from The Bancroft Library, June 25</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241347-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</link><description>The Bancroft Library collections of materials relating to the Philippines span nearly 500 years.

The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today.

Highlights in this exhibit include a transcript of an inquisitorial trial from 1646, a prayer book written in the Cebuano language, and UC Berkeley Filipino student publications from 1905 to present. The exhibit also features selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author Jessica Hagedorn, including typewritten drafts of her novels, poetry, song lyrics, and a screenplay as well as childhood drawings and writings.Bancroft’s renowned Latin American collections offer up intriguing examples of documents produced by the Spanish Empire as it exploited the islands’ natural, cultural and human resources. Examples include the transcript of the Inquisitorial trial of two women accused of being spiritual mediums, a manuscript written in the Jawi script, which is based on Arabic script promising religious freedom to the Muslim residents of the Island of Mindanao, and materials regarding the trade between Manila and Mexico.The personal papers and published works of UC Berkeley professors Bernard Moses (1846-1931) and David Barrows (1873-1954) document their early involvement with American colonialism in the Philippines, especially their work in redesigning the Filipino education system. In the aftermath of a brutal war, Americans viewed education as a tool for pacifying a conquered population. Documentation of these professors’ white supremacist views is contrasted with the work of Filipinx and Asian American scholars who use their words to critique colonialism and its racist underpinnings.Educational opportunities have brought students from the Philippines, and later Filipinx American students, to Berkeley since the early 20th century. The exhibit includes examples of four student publications—two published in the first two decades of the 1900’s and two more contemporary examples—that provide evidence of these students’ political engagement and their determination to make their voices heard.Selections from the personal papers of acclaimed author and performance artist Jessica Hagedorn are also on display, including examples of her novels, plays, poetry, song lyrics, a screenplay, childhood drawings, and writings. Hagedorn employs a kaleidoscope of pop culture references, songs, images, quotes from historical figures, and a galaxy of characters representing different cultures, classes, genders, races, and nationalities in her depictions of the Philippines and Filipinx America.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/241343-centering-philippine-and-filipinx-american</guid></item><item><title>Film Screening: Ponyo, June 29</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245820-film-screening-ponyo</link><description><div class="field field-name-curator-notes-1st field-type-ds field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><section class="block block-views block-views-event-curator-notes-block-1"><div class="view view-event-curator-notes view-id-event_curator_notes view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-bc37447295fbd45b0bf672462b9371a3"><div class="view-content"><div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"><div class="views-field views-field-field-ao-curator-description"><div class="field-content"> Hayao Miyazaki heads offshore for this ecstatic fairy tale of a little goldfish princess who dreams of becoming a human girl and the small boy who becomes her friend. Underneath a raging Japanese sea live little Ponyo—a half-human, half-fish girl—and her wizard father, who hates trash-strewing humans. On the cliffs above them lives Sosuke, a polite young boy who lives with his strong-willed mother. As Ponyo and Sosuke’s friendship grows—and as Ponyo turns more human—the seas begin to transform, threatening Sosuke’s little island with destruction. Ponyo blends the storytelling finesse of a classic fable with Miyazaki’s deep love for the environment and his trademark heroines—all strong, willful, and utterly lovable.  </div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ao-curator-authors-roles field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><div class="large-12" about="/field-collection/field-ao-curator-authors-roles/274114"><div class="description-person"> Jason Sanders </div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245820-film-screening-ponyo</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, June 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/230446-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records.

The tale of a (literally) pig-headed seaplane pilot who hunts air pirates over the late 1920s Adriatic Sea grew into a feature-length adventure, in which the titular World War I veteran teams up with a plucky teen engineer to take on a hotdogging American aviator against a backdrop of simmering fascism. It is a celebration of mechanics and the fruits of dedicated labor, which Hayao Miyazaki and his artisan animators exemplify as planes swim, sputter, and soar from sea to sky and back again.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245821-film-screening-porco-rosso</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, July 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/232458-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/232458-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Film Screening: The Maestro: King of the Cowboy Artists, July 7</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245810-film-screening-the-maestro-king-of-the-cowboy</link><description>The Maestro: King of the Cowboy Artists features a portrait of local artist Gerald Gaxiola, who has adopted the persona of a flamboyant cowboy.

This 4.5-hour in-person workshop is part of the BPM Part 3: Grow Your Team series and is an elective option for the UC Systemwide People Management Certificate. In this highly interactive workshop, each participant’s experience is drawn upon for the learning. Ideally, to contribute to and enhance understanding, participants will come with current and/or previous people management experience. Trust is at the heart of every relationship, and it’s especially critical in the workplace. In fact, the primary factor affecting employee turnover is whether or not a trusting relationship was developed between the manager and the employee. This workshop teaches how to build trust to increase engagement, creativity, and commitment. Based on 30 years of research, The Ken Blanchard Companies have developed a simple, yet powerful, trust model that provides a common language and framework, focused on the specific behaviors that build trust. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: *Describe the impact of behaviors on building and eroding trust *Identify aspects that need attention to build and maintain trusting relationships *Use tools to improve, or even rebuild trust when it is broken *Maintain a safe environment where employees know their leaders mean them no harm</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/244946-bpm-210-building-trust</guid></item><item><title>Research 101 (Virtual), July 10</title><link>https://berkeley.libcal.com/event/12410498</link><description>Are you writing an annotated bibliography, but not sure where to start?

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers.

The title character (played by Klaus Kinski) was himself obsessively driven to build an opera house in the turn-of-the-century Amazon. Stunning footage of the seething jungle and its native inhabitants sets the scene for director Herzog’s four-year struggle to complete his film. To finance his project, Fitzcarraldo moves a riverboat over a mountain between two rivers, which Herzog re-creates for his film, the jungle fighting him every step of the way. Facing a nonstop series of obstacles to his dream—including border wars, the location camp being raided and burned by Indigenous peoples, and the loss of the original star, Jason Robards, after filming was 40 percent complete—Herzog claims, “I’m running out of fantasy,” as birds call loudly in the background. In one of the more unusual films about filmmaking, Les Blank and Maureen Gosling capture a story that has to be seen to be believed.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245813-film-screening-burden-of-dreams</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, July 28</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/238048-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement?

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/240674-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, Aug. 12</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/240698-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement?

Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today.

This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement.

In a long-ago Japan, a war is raging for the future of Earth, one that sets the animal kingdom against humanity, nature against pollution, and harmony against chaos. Two humans stand between the worlds, and amid the bloodshed: San, a feral child raised by wolves, who considers herself animal and humans her enemies; and Ashitaka, a man whose peacefulness hides a great power, and an even greater curse.  </div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ao-curator-authors-roles field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><div class="large-12" about="/field-collection/field-ao-curator-authors-roles/274085"><div class="description-person"> Jason Sanders </div></div></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/245815-film-screening-princess-mononoke</guid></item><item><title>Exhibit: A Camp, a Campus, and a Disability Revolution, Aug. 30</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/242822-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</link><description> Did a camp for teenagers with disabilities in upstate New York play a vital role in launching the disability rights movement? This is the premise of the delightful and thought-provoking documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which is this year’s featured work from UC Berkeley’s <a href="https://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On the Same Page</a> program. Crip Camp starts at Camp Jened and makes its way to UC Berkeley, where a growing number of students with disabilities created the Disabled Students’ Program for the on-campus community, and then the Center for Independent Living to support community members off campus. Alumni of Camp Jened and UC Berkeley joined with hundreds of supporters to stage the 504 Sit-in, the longest takeover of a federal building in history, demanding the signing of regulations that outlawed discrimination against people with disabilities within any federally funded program. Almost 150 activists with disabilities and their supporters occupied the building for 25 days, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their goal. This exhibit showcases The Bancroft Library’s renowned <a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/visit/bancroft/oral-history-center/projects/disability-rights">Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement project</a>, which comprises over 100 oral histories from leaders, participants, and observers of the disability rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a rich collection of personal and organizational papers. On display are a brochure and newsletters from Camp Jened, the camp for teenagers with disabilities that fostered community and a sense of agency for many individuals who went on to be activists in the movement. The exhibit also traces the long history of disability activism at UC Berkeley. Blind students and deaf students came to the university in the 19th century, and would go on to become teachers and organizers. Photographs and quotes from interviews with Ed Roberts, the first severely physically disabled student to attend the university (1962) and a seminal figure in the history of the disability rights movement, among other early activists, are also featured; along with the application form submitted by the “Rolling Quads” (as some of the first students with disabilities on campus called themselves) to become an official student group, as well as photographs from the Disabled Students’ Program records. The 504 Sit-in is represented by memoirs, oral histories, and publications from participants and supporters such as the Black Panthers, the International Association of Machinists, and feminist groups. The exhibit also highlights the many campus units and organizations that comprise and serve the disability community today. An online version of the exhibit will be available in Spring 2024.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/rtl/event/242822-exhibit-a-camp-a-campus-and-a-disability</guid></item><item><title>BPM 102 People Management in a Union Environment, Sept. 4</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/244930-bpm-102-people-management-in-a-union-environment</link><description> Access to registration is disabled two days prior to the event.

Since its inception in 1955, the concept of neutrality appears to exist in a challenging realm, positioned ambiguously between serving as a model and transitioning into a phase-out model. In this context, this lecture will lean into the Austrian experience with neutrality to examine possible options for the European and transatlantic security architecture. Applying a critical approach, both the potential as well as the limitations of the legal and political notions underlying the concept of neutrality will thus be investigated. Particular emphasis in this context will be devoted to the Ukrainian context amidst the ongoing Russian act of aggression. What is more, it will be explored how the war on Ukraine has reinvigorated the political debate concerning neutrality in Austrian domestic politics. Associate Professor Dr. Benedikt C.

Echoing recent works on contemporary Sufisms that highlight the intersectionality of communities, repertoires, and narratives, Bangladesh’s bicār gān (“songs of rumination”) is an extemporized wellspring for articulating concurrent devotional subjectivities. In this performance, a network of interlocutors engage in an aggregative musicality that combines versified, saintly, and polemical elements into a staged discourse on loss, alterity, and sometimes absurdism. Drawing attention to interlocking tropes in ritual theory, migration studies, and the anthropology of media, this discursive devotionalism can be understood as a profoundly generative negotiation of space through converging pilgrimage routes, shrine committees, itinerant programming, stylized listening practices, and a popular folk music revival. Ultimately, bicār gān reifies a performance of devotion that is meandering, contingent, and suppositional, and is also informed by past and present border negotiations, inter-religious pieties, a transglobal citizenry, and Sufi media—within, between, and beyond Bengals. SPEAKER BIO: <a href="https://www.usf.edu/arts/music/about-us/bertie-kibreah.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bertie Kibreah</a> is Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of South Florida. He joined the University of South Florida’s Music Faculty in 2022. He is an ethnomusicologist and South Asianist (PhD, University of Chicago), with interests in re-sounding the greater region of Bengal—an enduring focal point in South Asia—to be more inclusive of sonic histories and contemporary music life in Bangladesh, the Bay of Bengal, and the “Banglashere.” Bertie’s research is shaped by discourses of devotion, modernity, and migration—especially through the performative lens of pilgrimage, cultural industries, Sufi feminisms, and borderland musicking. He frequently draw on theories of difference (memory, partition, genocide studies), interconnectivity (Inter-Asian, Indian Ocean, Adivasi, and Asian American studies) as well as orality-aurality (sound studies, affect studies, the anthropology of media). Bertie’s current book project explores and complicates trajectories of devotion through sonic geographies of the Bengal river delta, the musical placemaking of shrines, and the collectivized impressions of folk festivals within, between, and beyond Bengals (including adjacent Bengali pluralities). A second book project of his is concerned with intergenerational timbres and devotional memory in the larger realm of Bangladeshi global citizenries, as refracted by recent labor reforms in the Arab Gulf, newer migration routes into Europe via the Mediterranean, and the often overlooked “ethnoburbs” of Bangladeshi Americans. Trained on the tabla, a prominent percussion instrument in South Asia, Bertie also sings in a variety of languages and performs on a number of additional instruments—especially from Bengal—including the dotara lute. The breath of his musical explorations—across linguistic and sonic borders—is fueled by the civic awareness of public humanities work and the artistic interactions of practitioners and communities. Bertie is the recipient of a number of awards, most recently a research grant from USF College of the Arts, as well as the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Research Award administered through the Malini Chowdhury Center for Bangladesh Studies at UC Berkeley. Bertie is also incoming vice president for the Southeast/Caribbean chapter of the Society for Ethnomusicology.   _____________ The <a href="https://chowdhurycenter.berkeley.edu/funding/bangabandhu-sheikh-mujibur-rahman-research-award" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bangabandhu Research Award</a> allows us to bring one or two graduate students or early career faculty members each year from accredited institutions in the United States and in Europe to share their research on Bangabandhu and/or Bangladesh with the UC Berkeley community. This award has been established with the generous support of the US Bangabandhu Parishad, California. Established in 2013 with a generous gift from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subir_Chowdhury">Subir & Malini Chowdhury Foundation</a>, <a href="https://chowdhurycenter.berkeley.edu/">The Subir & Malini Chowdhury Center for Bangladesh Studies</a> at UC Berkeley champions the study of Bangladesh’s cultures, peoples and history. The first of its kind in the US, the Center’s mission is to create an innovative model combining research, scholarships, the promotion of art and culture, and the building of ties between institutions in Bangladesh and the University of California.

His first job was teaching history at Ramjas College at Delhi University. He joined a small, private firm making science documentaries for TV in 1975 and went on to direct three feature films: Massey Sahib in 1985, In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones in 1989 and Electric Moon in 1991. His films have won significant Indian and international awards. He gave up filmmaking in 1993 and started to teach himself field botany. Krishen began by spending time in the subtropical jungles of Pachmarhi in the Satpura Hills of Madhya Pradesh. He started to identify and photograph Delhi’s trees in 1998, extensively exploring the city and its semi-wild fringes. In the course of his work, Krishen led numerous public tree-walks on Sunday mornings and became a keen ecological gardener. Krishen has created “native-plant” gardens in Delhi and western Rajasthan and has completed a significant rewilding scheme in a habitat of volcanic rock at Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park, next to Mehrangarh fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. In 2014, Krishen began work on a new gardening initiative at Abha Mahal in Nagaur Fort, Rajasthan. The following year, he took over as Project Director of the gardens of the Calico Museum in Ahmedabad, and most recently, led a team of horticulturists and landscape architects to restore an extensive set of sand dunes in Jaipur city, Rajasthan. This opened in 2021 as a public park called “Kishan Bagh” (nothing to do with his surname!). A few other projects that he is working on at this moment are creating a wildflower meadow for Scindia School in Gwalior and restoring the natural ecology of a clayey riverbank on the Chambal river in Rajasthan. Krishen’s book Trees of Delhi: A Field Guide, published by Dorling Kindersley/Penguin Group in 2006, met with popular and critical acclaim and became a best-seller in India. His second book Jungle Trees of Central India, published by Penguin India was released in 2014. His most recent publication is Abha Mahal Bagh: A Garden of Wild Plants from the Thar Desert came out in 2019).  _________________About the Lecture Series The <a href="https://southasia.berkeley.edu/indo-american-lectures" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://southasia.berkeley.edu/indo-american-lectures&source=gmail&ust=1703099322690000&usg=AOvVaw1dSsyBwoKNs2K8bmSS1oQh">Indo-American Community Lectureship in India Studies</a> is a part of UC Berkeley’s Indo-American Community Chair in India Studies, a chair endowed in 1990-91 with the support of the CG of India in San Francisco, the Hon.

As computers become more proficient at both the translation and analysis of Buddhist texts, one wonders what the effects will be on the training of graduate students and the nature of the field. The Numata Center for Buddhist Studies at UC Berkeley is hosting a two-day workshop (October 18-19, 2024) to take measure of the present status of these new technologies and to assess their future impact. The workshop is organized in collaboration with Kurt Keutzer and Sebastian Nehrdich of the Berkeley AI Research lab, who are developers of the MITRA translation system for the languages of Buddhism, and Jann Ronis, Executive Director of the Buddhist Digital Research Center.</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/bs/event/242646-ai-and-the-future-of-buddhist-studies</guid></item><item><title>Macrohistorical Dynamics in Eurasia, Oct. 23</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/ieas/event/245646-macrohistorical-dynamics-in-eurasia</link><description> Description coming soon</description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/ieas/event/245646-macrohistorical-dynamics-in-eurasia</guid></item><item><title>BPM 202 Communicating with Impact, Oct. 24</title><link>https://events.berkeley.edu/hr/event/244940-bpm-202-communicating-with-impact</link><description> Access to registration is disabled two days prior to the event.

Blankly staring ahead into an abyss only he can see, a soldier and manservant (Klaus Kinski) dutifully listens to his master’s opinions, while at home he plays husband and father with a similar mix of mental detachment and physical rigor, seemingly playing out the days until, finally, “the world goes dark.” “Herzog is a poet,” wrote Vincent Canby, “for whom neither Marx nor Freud supplies all the answers.” </div></div><div class="field field-name-field-ao-curator-authors-roles field-type-field-collection field-label-hidden field-wrapper"><div class="large-12" about="/field-collection/field-ao-curator-authors-roles/270404"><div class="description-person"> — Jason Sanders </div></div></div></div></div></div></section></div></description><guid>https://events.berkeley.edu/BAMPFA/event/222656-film-screening-woyzeck</guid></item></channel></rss>
