Settler actions in support of Land Back: An ecofeminist approach, at University of 蓝莓视频, Wednesday, June 9, 2021:

Dr. Vandana Shiva draws attention to the artificial conflict between 鈥渆conomic growth鈥 and 鈥渆nvironmental sustainability鈥 that dominates commodity-based economies. Wealth generated by destroying the carrying capacity of the planet is in fact impoverishment:

鈥淲e 听are living in a global economy of genocide, and it is rooted in these decisions because of the destruction of democracy鈥 One of the costs that this genocidal economics has had is that it has robbed us of our very humanity. It has killed our humanity both by making us so scared all the time of the...

VIDEO: Decolonizing Neurodiversity? Implications for Social Work Education, at CASWE-ACFTS Conference 2021, Thursday, June 3, 2021:

  • Lead Presenter - Margaret F.听Gibson
  • Co-Presenter - Izumi Sakamoto
  • Co-Presenter - Hannah Monroe

鈥溾楧oing Without Women鈥 in a Viennese Women鈥檚 Newspaper: Otto Bittner鈥檚 Wendelin (1935-6)鈥, at Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association Conference (virtual), Thursday, June 3, 2021

In February 1934, Engelbert Dolfuss鈥檚 regime outlawed the Austrian Social Democratic Party and took over its various newspapers, many of which were 鈥渘ormalized鈥 鈥 integrated into a nationalist and anti-socialist, but also anti-Nazi, worldview.

One of these newspapers was the weekly Die Unzufriedene, founded in 1923 under the editorship of Eugenie Brandt to expose the oppression of working-class women 鈥 though it soon came to include kitschy serialized novels as well. Now, however, the paper was handed over to a male editor, Fritz Robert Kirchner; its new title, Das Kleine...

Knot homology and coherent sheaves on Coulomb branches Thursday, April 8, 2021

Recent work of Aganagic proposes the construction of a homological knot invariant categorifying the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of miniscule representations of type ADE Lie algebras, using the geometry and physics of coherent sheaves on a space which one can alternately describe as a resolved slice in the affine Grassmannian, a space of G-monopoles with specified...
