A Brief History of Electricity and Magnetism
Paul Cadden-Zimansky
Physics Program
Friday, February 3, 2017
12 pm
Hegeman 102The development of almost all modern technology relies on a firm understanding of the concepts of electricity and magnetism, and these concepts are at the heart of fundamental explanations of most physical phenomena. The historical evolution of these concepts traces back thousands of years and took a number of surprising, unorthodox, and occasionally tragic turns before the rules governing electricity and magnetism were codified. In this talk, intended for a general audience, I'll review some of the key experiments and insights of past centuries that led to our present theories.

Courage To Be College Seminar Dinner & Lecture Series, with Penny Gill
Hosted by the Hannah Arendt Center
Tuesday, February 7, 2017
6 pm
BlithewoodTo Whom Do You Belong?
Fear, Courage, and Community
Courage is an affair of both heart and mind. Americans, especially perhaps American intellectuals, are pretty skillful at the "mind" part. But we are not skillful at all at the "heart" part. Courage can seem heroic, and may well be. But courage is more likely to flow from our deep connections with and commitments to each other. In a culture marked by alienation, competitiveness, and loneliness, living with courage can seem impossible. But it surely isn't. It is a natural outcome of a life lived with depth and integrity.
BIO: Penny Gill, Professor of Politics and Mary Lyon Professor of Humanities, taught comparative politics at Mount Holyoke College for more than 40 years, including courses on Europe and the European Union, European political thinkers, and globalization. She also ranged widely across the curriculum as well, offering writing courses in the English department, a course on Jung in Psychology, and various cross-disciplinary seminars in the humanities and social sciences. She served as Dean of the College for several years, where her task was to help students integrate what they were learning both in and outside of the classroom. She has long been interested in comparative spiritualities, particularly the Biblical traditions and those of Himalayan Buddhism. Her recent book, What in the World Is Going On?, reports a series of conversations with Manjushri, a Tibetan Teacher, about our own times and challenges. She divides her time between Granby, Massachusetts and Madeline Island, Wisconsin, in the western part of Lake Superior.

"The way we got so many leaders to come to Paris and make this happen and ended up getting an even more ambitious agreement than we expected was by breaking climate diplomacy out of its silo 2014 and making it sort of a peer issue to questions like trade and security. In this world you can't just walk away from all this stuff." -- Andrew Light, Business Insider

From 2013-2016 he served as Senior Adviser and India Counselor to the U.S. Special Envoy on Climate Change, and as a Staff Climate Adviser in the Secretary of State’s Office of Policy Planning in the U.S. Department of State.

A Geometric Wieferich Conjecture
John Cullinan, Mathematics Program
Thursday, February 16, 2017
4:45 pm
Hegeman 308In 1909 Arthur Wieferich proposed a way to attack Fermat's last theorem by introducing a variant on Fermat's little theorem. His idea has since been refined and now forms what is known as the "Wieferich Conjecture". Even though Fermat's last theorem has been proved, the Wieferich conjecture remains open and a major area of research in modern number theory. In this talk, I will explain the Wieferich conjecture, its modern geometric interpretation, and my current research project. This talk should be suitable for all students who are currently in Math 261 (Proofs and Fundamentals) or beyond. In particular, we will make extensive use of modular arithmetic.
Refreshments to follow immediately in the Math Common Room.Sponsored by: Mathematics Program.

(Soma)tic Rituals & The Strength Of Poetry When The World Taxes Your Soul
A Poetics Workshop Led by CAConrad
Wednesday, February 22, 2017
5:30–6:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 101What role does writing, particularly poetry, play in our current moment of political precarity, opacity, and urgency?
How might poetic practices, embodied and enacted with others, reimagine what counts as present day activism, resistance, solidarity, and creativity?
How can poetry and poetics help to counter a public sphere riven by hyper-partisanship, “alternative facts,” nationalist bellicosity, planetary crises, and the deep unraveling of civic attachments?
Please join us for a workshop with poet CAConrad, which will focus on using (soma)tic practices in order to generatively investigate the role writing can play in our contemporary political reality. We will also discuss how poetry and ritual can help us to end our alienation from our planet and from one another.
CAConrad’s childhood included selling cut flowers along the highway for his mother and helping her shoplift. The author of 9 books of poetry and essays, the latest is titled While Standing In Line For Death and is forthcoming from Wave Books (September 2017). He is a Pew Fellow and has also received fellowships from Lannan Foundation, MacDowell Colony, Headlands Center for the Arts, Banff, RADAR, Flying Object and Ucross.

Coordinating Cognition at the Fingertips:
Insights from Investigations into Skilled Typing Ability
Matthew Crump, Brooklyn College of CUNY
Thursday, February 23, 2017
4:45 pm
RKC 111I will discuss my work on the broad claim that skilled performance is controlled hierarchically by coordinated processing loops involved in higher level functions like planning and goal formation, ann at d lower level functions involved in action execution. These loops harness the full range of basic cognitive processes, such as learning, memory, and attention, that guide complex behavior in everyday tasks and expert domains such as skilled typing. I will discuss a range of questions relevant to many domains in cognition that we answer through skilled typing tasks. These include how people use spatial cognition to navigate the keyboard, how people use cognitive control to detect and correct errors and plan movements, and how people use learning and memory to become sensitive to the statistical structure of letter sequences and type words fluently with practice. Finally, I will talk about some recent new directions using EEG and TMS that test cognitive models by examining neurocorrelates of cognitive and motor control networks involved in skilled typing.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Dance and Politics: Moving Beyond Boundaries
A Lecture by Dana Naomy Mills
Thursday, February 23, 2017
7–8:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis Cinema"In acting and speaking, men show who they are, reveal actively their unique personal identities and thus make their appearance in the human world, while their physical identities appear without any activity of their own in the unique shape of body and sound of the voice. This disclosure of 'who' in contradistinction to 'what' somebody is ... is implicit in everything somebody says and does." (Hannah Arendt)
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it.” (Martha Graham)
Since ancient times and across cultures, dance has provided a powerful form of human expression. This talk examines the political power of dance from a global perspective inspired by—and drawing upon—the work of Hannah Arendt.
This talk by Dana Naomy Mills, a 2017 Hannah Arendt Fellow, explores different dimensions of dance as a form of intervention into a politics more commonly articulated in words. Dance is understood as a system of communication that allows its subjects to speak with their bodies and to create embodied spaces, drawing attention to the radically egalitarian nature of dance with its ability to transcend all boundaries of gender, race and sexual politics. Drawing on diverse examples such as the work of dance pioneers Martha Graham and Isadora Duncan, gumboots dancers in the gold mines of South Africa, Dabke dancers in Palestine and the One Billion Rising movement challenging gender violence through flash mobs, the talk will present a reading of dance as a form of performing equality as well as distinction.Sponsored by: Dance Program; Hannah Arendt Center.

Hunting the Brightest Galaxies in the Universe
James Lowenthal, Smith College
Friday, February 24, 2017
12 pm
Hegeman 107I’ll give an overview of observing at the 50-m Large Millimeter Telescope and will focus on the latest results on distant, dusty, massive starburst galaxies in the early universe. Studying distant galaxies lets us peer billions of years back in time, well over halfway back to the Big Bang, to learn how galaxies form and evolve. New infra-red and millimeter-wave images and spectra from the Planck and Herschel satellites and from the LMT have helped identify the most luminous galaxies yet known, thousands of times brighter than our own Milky Way, and churning gas into new stars at a furious rate. Many are also strongly gravitationally lensed, their images warped and amplified by intervening massive galaxies, which lets us see more detail on fainter galaxies than usual. Hubble Space Telescope’s sharp vision further enhances our view and can finally reveal what triggers such spectacular starburst activity. Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Bard College's visiting professor of literature and the former president of PEN American Center, Prose is the autor of many books, including Household Saints, Blue Angel, Reading Like a Writer, and Peggy Guggenheim: The Shock of the Modern.
“How does Prose do it? With precision, intelligence and wicked jocularity. She measures art in monkeys. She demands an evolution. This book hilariously swings through a backstage rank with hormones, ambition and an unforgettable cast of characters.” —Samantha Hunt, former Bard Fiction Prize winner

The Italians ... and the challenges of
writing about them
John Hooper, Italy correspondent of The Economist magazine and the author of The Italians (Viking, 2015 & 2016)
Monday, February 27, 2017
5 pm
RKC 103How did a nation that spawned the Renaissance also produce the Mafia? What exactly is bella figura? And why do Romans eat their gnocchi on Thursdays? Having spent more than 15 years reporting on Italy, John Hooper set out to write a book that answers these and many of the other puzzles that confront outsiders in a society that can be as baffling as it is alluring. The result is The Italians, published by Viking, which has featured in the bestseller lists of The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. In his talk, Hooper will discuss the challenges and rewards of trying to explain a society in which paradox is the norm and in which much is hidden, or coded or left unsaid.Sponsored by: Division of Social Studies; Hannah Arendt Center; Historical Studies Program; Italian Studies Program; Literature Program.
