SUMMARY:Lecture—Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Colonial ambitions spawned imperial attitudes\, theories\, and practices that remain entrenched within botany and across the life sciences. Banu Subramaniam\, an interdisciplinary plant biologist and Luella LaMer Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College\, draws on fields as disparate as queer studies\, Indigenous studies\, and the biological sciences to explore the labyrinthine history of how colonialism transformed rich and complex plant worlds into biological knowledge. \nTheir third book\, Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism (University of Washington Press\, 2024)\, demonstrates how botany’s foundational theories and practices were shaped\nand fortified in the aid of colonial rule and its extractive ambitions. We see how colonizers obliterated plant time’s deep history to create a reductionist system that imposed a Latin-based naming system\, drew on the imagined sex lives of European elites to explain plant sexuality\, and discussed foreign plants like foreign humans. Subramaniam then pivots to imagining a more inclusive and capacious field of botany untethered and decentered from its origins in histories of racism\, slavery\, and colonialism. This vision harnesses the power of feminist and scientific thought to chart a course for more socially just practices of\nexperimental biology.

SUMMARY:Adam Farkas\, “Oral Histories of the Soviet Jewish Diaspora in the US\, 1973 – 1980”
DESCRIPTION:Between 1973 and 1980\, over 65\,000 Soviet Jews\, often referred to as “dropouts\,” immigrated to the United States. While they are often treated as a single demographic group\, these Soviet Jews represented surprising diversity profiles across distinct waves of migration. Studying this population without considering their day-to-day experiences in the Soviet Union and the US misses important divergences in identity transformation\, cultural adaptation\, and assimilation practices. Through detailed oral history analysis\, the presentation examines the cultural adaptations and disparities encountered during their journey\, including education\, cultural dynamics\, political perspectives\, and community building. It investigates how these challenges influenced the immigration experience for Soviet Jewish immigrants in the United States versus their experiences in the Soviet Union. The study also looks at how adaptation to American culture contributed to evolving identities and how the preservation or rejection of Russian and Jewish heritage shaped self-perception. \nAdam Farkas holds a PhD in History from Budapest\, Hungary. After defending his dissertation\, he was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto\, where his research focuses on the oral histories and everyday life of Soviet Jewish émigrés in the 1970s. \nLunch will be served.

SUMMARY:'After: Poetry Destroys Silence'—Virtual Film Screening and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The film After: Poetry Destroys Silence juxtaposes two competing claims about poetry after genocide and unspeakable horrors: Theodor Adorno’s statement\, “To write a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric” and Charles Bukowski’s rebuttal\, “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” \nAfter explores poetry written about the Shoah\, in which contemporary poets respond to the Holocaust and talk about the importance and need for poetry in a world that still grapples with genocide. Rather than seeing the devastation\, After shows how poets respond to catastrophe and write in its aftermath. The film is ultimately about human resiliency\, the power and courage to forge new lives\, and the value of poetry in looking to the past to help create a better future. \nThe virtual panel discussion will include the film’s director Richard Kroehling\, Amelia Glaser\, a scholar of Slavic and Jewish literature from the nineteenth century to the present and the author of Jews and Ukrainians in Russia’s Literary Borderlands (2012) and Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (2020)\, and Anna Shternshis\, a scholar of Jewish culture in Russia and the Soviet Union\, oral history as well as Yiddish music and the author of Soviet and Kosher: Jewish Popular Culture in the Soviet Union\, 1923 – 1939 (2006) and When Sonia Met Boris: An Oral History of Jewish Life under Stalin (2017)\, and director of a Grammy-nominated project\, Yiddish Glory: The Lost Songs of WWII\, which highlights forgotten Yiddish music written during the Holocaust in the Soviet Union.

DESCRIPTION:The provision of whole-person care requires us to recognize the multidimensional impact that living with a serious illness has on each aspect of a patient’s quality of life. \nConducting a comprehensive biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment lays the groundwork for the sensitive exploration of how serious illness and its treatment influence medical decision-making\, especially for those who have been historically\, politically\, and socially marginalized\, as well as those with limited cognitive capacity. \nSocial workers have the clinical background to provide nuanced advance care planning conversations and may be well positioned to offer leadership in expanding advance care planning programs within their organizations. \nThis interactive workshop will explore strategies to support proxy decision-makers for those who are the most vulnerable. Advance care planning tools and resources will be provided. 2.5 Continuing Education hours provided!

SUMMARY:Lecture: “Bringing ‘Tikkun Olam’ to the South: New York Jews in the Civil Rights Movement”
DESCRIPTION:Miyuki Kita\, professor of American studies at the University of Kitakyushu\, Japan\, will examine an unknown\, unacknowledged episode of the commitment of New York Jews to the Civil Rights Movement and its impact outside of New York City. During the summer of 1963\, 16 Queens College students—14 of whom were Jewish—traveled as far as the Prince Edward County\, Virginia\, to tutor local African American children who had not received any formal education since the shutdown of the county’s public schools to avoid the state’s integration order in 1959. These “Freedom Schools” eventually became an important model for Mississippi Freedom Schools in the following year. Additionally\, as a backdrop to the students’ visit to Virginia\, more than 200 students started to serve as tutors and recreational leaders for underprivileged children in South Jamaica\, Queens\, every Saturday in April 1963. In such circumstances emerged Andrew Goodman\, a Queens College student at the time of his death in Mississippi and gave his life to the civil rights movement. \nMiyuki Kita’s studies have focused on antisemitism in the U.S.\, Black-Jewish relations\, and Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar affiliated with the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University from 2012-2013. She also served as a visiting scholar at Queens College\, City University of New York in 2018-2019. Her works include “Breaking the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’: Jews and the 1945 New York Fair Employment Practices Act\,” in Fruma Mohrer and Ettie Goldwasser eds.\, New York and the American Jewish Communal Experience (New York: YIVO Institute for Jewish Research\, 2013) and “Foot Soldier in the Civil Rights Movement: Lynn Goldsmith with SCLC–SCOPE\, Summer 1965\,” Southern JewishHistory\, vol.22\, 2019\, pp.151-188.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquia
DESCRIPTION:Ernesto (Trey) Feliciano\, Physics Major\, FCRH 2026 will present: “Mucin and Polyvinylpyrrolidone Solutions Affect E. coli Motility” \nAbstract: Knowledge about how bacteria move through viscoelastic media can be helpful in\nunderstanding how they move through medical solutions using such media or move\nthrough mucus to infect humans. \nPrevious research has been conducted on how they collectively move through synthetic\nmucus\, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solutions\, and media mimicked by carboxylate\nmicrospheres. Research about the individual cell movements in synthetic mucous has\nnot yet been intensively observed. The kinematics of the individual cells of a certain\nmotile strain of E. coli through various concentrations of viscoelastic media\, including\nartificial mucus and PVP solutions\, were observed in this project.\nResults showed that certain concentrations of mucin in mucus aid bacterial motility\,\nwhereas high concentrations of mucin inhibit it. For PVP\, velocity remains relatively\nconstant until it decreases at higher concentrations. By understanding how\nconcentrations of viscoelastic fluids affect bacterial motion\, knowledge about why the\nhuman body secretes more mucous along the respiratory tract during infections or\nabout what qualities of viscoelastic medical solutions are ideal for usage can be\nenhanced. \nJenna Cain\, Engineering Physics Major\, FCRH 2026 will present: “Optimizing Geometric Fill Factor and Interconnection Between Thermophotovoltaic(TPV) Cells on a Tile”. \nAbstract: Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells convert high-temperature thermal radiation (1\,000–\n2\,000 °C) from an emitter directly into electricity\, resulting in power densities up to 500 times\ngreater than a conventional solar cell. Advancements in TPVs at the University of Michigan over\nthe past decade have led to the development of the Air-Bridge TPV\, which has a world-record\nefficiency of 44%\, and is being scaled up for implementation in thermal batteries. To scale up\nsingle cells into functional panels\, many cells must be interconnected into one electrical system\non a tile (4″ growth substrate). Here\, I developed an interconnection process for TPV cells that\nminimizes the spacing between cells to maximize the amount of active area\, or the geometric fill\nfactor\, for a tile. In our approach\, we use simple resistor-mesas to replicate the width and height\nof the target TPV cells and aim to interconnect the top contact and bottom contact on adjacent\nmesas (3 μm step height). We use a polyimide passivation film that serves as an insulating barrier\nbetween the active regions of the devices and the conductive interconnects. In this work\, I\ndemonstrate that a 1 μm polyimide film provides sufficient sidewall coverage to enable\ninterconnections between mesas separated by as little as 45 μm. Optimal curing temperature of\n350°C and time of 1 hour was determined by monitoring the diminishing anhydride group of\npolyimide precursor via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Successful interconnection was\ndemonstrated by patterning 1 μm silver interconnections between resistors and measuring the\ncumulative resistance for each string of interconnected resistors. For all mesa spacings – 45 μm\nto 500 μm – successful interconnection was demonstrated. Future work will explore\ninterconnection across shorter distances to continue optimizing geometric fill factor.

SUMMARY:The Role of Psychologists in Immigration Court: Ethical\, Legal\, and Practical Challenges
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will cover a range of issues that arise when mental health professionals conduct evaluations for Immigration Court. The nature and focus of forensic mental health evaluations in the context of Immigration Court proceedings will be discussed in order to set a framework for understanding the roles that psychologist (and other mental health professionals) can—and often do play. In addition\, the relationship (and distinctions) between forensic and clinical psychology plays an important role in navigating these challenging legal issues\, along with pragmatic considerations (e.g.\, navigating cultural and linguistic challenges) that can complicate these evaluations. Finally\, this presentation will address training needs\, systemic barriers to practice\, and a wide range of ethical issues that arise and require attention.
