In addition to buildings\, his writing engages with complementary media such as installations\, films\, and other structured narratives. As a partner at studioAPT (Architecture Project Theory)\, he also works on design projects at the scale of buildings\, graphics\, and situations. His writing and design work have been featured in Perspecta\, Threshold\, Log\, Volume\, Praxis\, MAS Context\, and Flat Out. Most recently\, he contributed to the architectural journal OASE (2023) and the book Fulfilled: Architecture\, Excess\, and Desire (AR+D Publishing\, 2022). \nMcMorrough is currently a Professor of Architecture and Interim Chair of the Architecture Program at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan. He has taught design and theory at Harvard University\, Yale University\, The Ohio State University\, and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. He received his Ph.D. in Architecture and his M.Arch. with distinction from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. \nLectures made possible by the Jean Labatut Memorial Lectures in Architecture and Urban Planning Fund.

In doing so\, active learning strategies provide opportunities for students to take ownership of their own learning and to learn from and with each other. The addition of active learning elements can also provide instructors with valuable feedback on student comprehension. \nIn this session–held in the Digital Learning Lab\, one of McGraw’s active learning spaces–we will share strategies for engaging students in active learning in classes of all kinds. We will include information on technology tools like i-clickers\, throwable mics\, and digital whiteboards\, as well as analog approaches such as think/pair/share\, exit tickets\, and role play. \nRegister here.

He demonstrates how in each case of early modern England (1533-1640)\, Tokugawa Japan (1640-1853)\, and Qing China (1684-1840)\, a public interest-based discourse of state legitimation provided a common platform upon which state and society collaborated to provide public goods such as famine relief and large-scale infrastructural facilities. In this way\, state and society strove to overcome their respective weaknesses in attaining good governance. Moreover\, each discourse of state legitimation entailed ‘passive rights’ that allowed subordinates to justify their demands on the state to redress welfare grievances; these often took the form of collective actions. Conflicts between domestic welfare and other dimensions of public interest\, however\, could instigate cross-regional and cross-sectoral mass petitions for fundamental political reforms that were likewise justified by the state’s proclaimed duty to safeguard the public interest; these mass petitions might ultimately transform the state. Such a political ‘great divergence’ occurred in England (1760s-1780s) and Japan (1870s-1880s)\, but not in China.

Ridiculous. Schools that foster the genius of every child? Impossible. Work that doesn’t strangle the life out of people? Naive. A society where everyone has food\, shelter\, love? In your dreams. Exactly. Ruha Benjamin\, Princeton University professor\, insists that imagination isn’t a luxury. It is a vital resource and powerful tool for collective liberation. \nImagination: A Manifesto is her proclamation that we have the power to use our imaginations to challenge systems of oppression and to create a world in which everyone can thrive. But obstacles abound. The most effective way to disrupt destructive systems of class\, race\, and gender-based oppression is to do so collectively. Benjamin highlights the educators\, artists\, activists\, and many others who are refuting powerful narratives that justify the status quo\, crafting new stories that reflect our interconnection\, and offering creative approaches to seemingly intractable problems. \nRuha Benjamin is an internationally recognized writer\, speaker\, and professor of African American Studies at Princeton University\, where she is the founding director of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab. She is the award-winning author of Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code\, and Viral Justice\, and editor of Captivating Technology\, among many other publications. Lorgia García Peña is a writer\, activist and scholar who specializes in Latinx Studies with a focus on Black Latinidades. Her work is concerned with the ways in which antiblackness and xenophobia intersect the Global North producing categories of exclusion that lead to violence and erasure. She is the author of Community as Rebellion. \nThis event is co-presented by Labyrinth\, the Princeton Public Library\, and Not In Our Town Princeton. It is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s African American Studies Department and the Humanities Council.

The persistence of information over long stretches of time is his key research topic at the moment. In a new framework that we call Cultural Ecology\, we import empirical methods from ecology and biostatistics to provide innovative quantitative models of cultural change and survival\, in particular in the domain of medieval literature. Mike’s expertise lies with the application of machine learning and natural language processing for the analysis of noisy\, historic data. Together with Folgert Karsdorp and Allen Riddell he published a monograph on data science for humanists with Princeton UP (2021).

Historical accounts trace the origins of the in-betweenness of Asian Americans to the ways in which Asian coolie labor has served to triangulate white capital and African slavery over the course of European modernity. If this is the material history of in-betweenness\, what is the psychic corollary of the middle-man thesis? Through an analysis of the Netflix dark comedy series Beef\, as well as case histories of Asian American patients and students\, Eng argues that the psychic effects of occupying a racially intermediate position implicate an unexplored terrain of racial rage and racial guilt that Asian Americans are insistently socialized to hold on behalf of others. \nREGISTER HERE. \n  \nDavid L. Eng is the Richard L. Fisher Professor of English and faculty director of the Program in Asian American Studies\, and professor in the Program in Comparative Literature & Literary Theory and Program in Gender\, Sexuality & Women’s Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

On participles and the inventory of grammatical primitives DESCRIPTION:One of the goals of syntactic theory is to account for the distributional properties of grammatical units. My central question is whether the lexical categori(zer)s like n(oun)\, v(erb)\, and a(adjective)\, which are partially responsible for determining distribution\, are associated with any intrinsic semantic content. I examine this question through the lens of participles. Based on a number of distributional diagnostics\, I argue that participles are a derived category\, and that they should therefore not be considered primitives of the grammar. Specifically\, I argue that both eventive and stative participles in a number of related and unrelated languages are deverbal adjectives. This challenges the consensus in the generative literature\, which has converged on the conclusion that eventive participles are verbal\, while stative participles are adjectival. Based on this case study of participles\, as well as evidence from (deverbal) nominals\, I argue that there is no one-to-one mapping between syntactic categori(zer)s and semantic content (contra e.g.\, Baker 2003\, Panagiotidis 2015). Returning to the issue of grammatical primitives\, I then claim that there has so far been no uncontroversial evidence (syntactic or semantic) that the lexical categori(zer)s from more familiar languages are universal. I finish by considering the consequences of this conclusion for language acquisition and the contents of Universal Grammar. \n  \nMaša Bešlin is a PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland. She works in the subfields traditionally called syntax and morphology\, with an empirical focus on Slavic and Mayan languages. Her research has investigated such topics as the status of participles as a lexical category\, locality constraints above and below the ‘word’ level\, raising constructions\, bare-NP adverbials\, case\, and ellipsis.

When they do intersect\, practitioners and observers typically offer two syntheses: craft “rises” to the institutional and aesthetic condition of art or supplements its exclusivity as a model of unalienated production. Yet fine artists since the early modern period have\, at key moments\, called upon “craft\,” in its many valences\, to engage\, rather than negate\, the movements of history that conditioned their work. Focusing on such moments\, the participants in this series will assess the stakes and the meanings of art’s craft in settings ranging from the Italian Renaissance\, to eighteenth-century India\, to the contemporary Andes. \nOver six workshops scheduled throughout the 2023–24 academic year and taking place on Princeton’s campus\, Know How: Workshops on the Histories of Art and Craft aims to develop responses to the following questions: Under what social\, material\, and art-historical conditions does craft appear? How do the motivations and manifestations of such appearances compare across geographies and periods? As art historians\, what methods are at our disposal to follow artists and objects as they bridge the systems of value that separate their circulation?

A year later\, across the Atlantic\, Forma\, a journal based in Mexico City\, announced the need for a “museum of modern American art\,” which it enacted in its pages. As these examples suggest\, in the early twentieth century\, magazines became sites for reimagining what museums could be or serving as counter-institutions themselves. In this talk\, Lori Cole will consider how magazines instantiated sites of exhibition for modern art in France and the Americas. For instance\, the journal Cahiers de la république des lettres des sciences et des arts called the twentieth century the “century of museums\,” and in 1931 urged France to reorganize its public collections of art. In addition to serving as sites for debate\, magazines functioned as extensions of galleries\, as in the case of Bulletin de l’Effort Moderne. Some editors took on the role of curators\, organizing physical exhibitions supported by their publications\, while others were artists who used the magazine as a site of experimentation. Such strategies to supplement or supplant exhibitions in print prefigured the way artists in the 1960s onward used the magazine to circumvent an increasingly commercial art world and as an artistic medium itself. Cole plans to both historicize these practices in the modern period and to demonstrate their persistence today\, as publications remain a rich site for artistic practice and formidable art institutions themselves.

In this talk\, I will argue for a computational approach to sociolinguistics\, which formalizes the obstacles standing in the way of effective communication and explains how people construct shared meaning to achieve their communicative goals with different audiences. Specifically\, I’ll present a computational model of partner-specific coordination and convention via hierarchical Bayesian inference — using feedback from a partner to update one’s beliefs about what is meaningful to them. I test predictions of the model in two natural-language communication experiments where participants are grouped into small communities for a referential communication task. Finally\, I’ll discuss ongoing work exploring broader implications across four areas: (1) code-switching and the relationship between language and social identity\, (2) neural mechanisms of common ground in a hyper scanning study\, (3) developmental trajectories of sociolinguistic competence\, and (4) artificial agents that can flexibly construct meaning with human partners. \n  \nRobert Hawkins is an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Language Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The Development of Contemplative Reading in the Monasteries of the Church of the East (400-700 C.E.)" DESCRIPTION:Contemplative reading is a spiritual practice developed by Christian monks in the early Middle Ages. This talk traces the history of monastic reading in sixth- and seventh-century Mesopotamia. Ascetics belonging to the Church of the East pursued a form of contemplation which moved from reading\, to meditation\, to prayer\, to the ecstasy of divine vision. The development of this Syriac tradition can be seen through three phases: its establishment as an ascetic practice\, the articulation of its theology based upon “Egyptian” sources\, and its maturation and spread beyond Mesopotamia to other regions of Eastern Christianity.

But these projects threatened to evict local residents\, as city planners deployed maps of soils at risk of landslide as the basis for their removal. In debating removals\, both city officials and residents turned to soil as a forensic site\, using soil’s qualities as evidence of conflicting accounts of a 1987 landslide to support their arguments about property. While forensics in transitional justice generally centers exhumations as a source of truth about crime during conflict\, it was not corpses exhumed from the soil\, but soil itself that became an object of forensic inquiry. This challenged official narratives of transition and reconfigured both property and territorial relations\, in turn shaping the possibilities for war and peace. \n\nThe Mellon Forum is the core event series of interdisciplinary dialogs organized by the Fellows of the Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture\, Urbanism\, and the Humanities. \nThe Spring 2024 Mellon Forum interrogates the political economy of land to understand how the built environment comes into being. We invite scholars to consider how land in its multi-dimensional forms— e.g. property\, territory\, infrastructure\, etc.— is made and remade\, and what these contestations might reveal. \nThe Spring 2024 Mellon Forum is sponsored by the Mellon Foundation and the Princeton University Humanities Council\, Center for Collaborative History\, HMEI\, PIIRS\, PLAS\, SPIA\, the Departments of Art & Archaeology.

But this position becomes more complex\, even contradictory if one takes a look at El Greco´s own artistic production. The medium in question is often situated from the vantage point of the other (for instance sculpture from painting or painting from sculpture)\, thus high-lighting issues of two dimensionality and three dimensionality. Through a veritable synagonism\, meaning a productive “agon” of the media\, they mutually enhance each other. This fruitful dialectic also clarifies El Greco´s theory and practice. In my talk I will look at concrete examples from his oeuvre including drawing\, painting\, and sculpture as well as his retablos\, his works as an architect. They may lead to a re-reading of his comments on art theory reframing the problem of paragone.

The term “land question” refers to conflicts over rights of lands between different classes and ethno-religious groups\, especially between Kurdish tribal heads and Armenian peasants. After the Young Turk Revolution in 1908\, Armenian peasants started a new campaign to assert their claims to lands usurped by the Kurdish tribal heads or occupied by Caucasus immigrants during the previous Hamidian era. This development brought the land question to the forefront attention. Based on Ottoman\, British and French archives\, this chapter primarily explores the policies implemented by the Ottoman central government\, assesses the impacts of these policies\, and analyzes the reasons behind their failure to effectively resolve the land question. \nThe paper and a Zoom link will be provided upon registration. \nThis event is presented by the Near Eastern Studies Department and co-sponsored by the Department of Religion\, Near Eastern Studies Program\, Center for Culture\, Society and Religion\, and the Humanities Council with support from the Stewart Fund for Religion URL:https://humanities.princeton.edu/event/pisc-no4-suret-i-hall-ve-fasl-the-ottoman-central-governments-quest-for-a-general-way-of-solution-to-land-question/ LOCATION:102 Jones Hall\, Princeton\, NJ\, 08540\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://humanities.princeton.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/70059_9.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Athina Pfeiffer":MAILTO:apfeiffer@princeton.edu GEO:40.3815302;-74.651754 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240214T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240214T132000 DTSTAMP:20260415T161100 CREATED:20240205T153553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240211T031233Z UID:58814-1707912000-1707916800@humanities.princeton.edu SUMMARY:“They Opened Our Eyes”: Armed Groups’ Influence on Civilian Political Beliefs in Rural Antioquia\, Colombia DESCRIPTION:What are the effects of armed group governance on civilian political beliefs? How does long-term interaction with armed groups that challenge the prevailing political order change the ways that civilians understand the political world? To address these questions\, Daniel Hirschel-Burns’ paper draws ethnographic evidence from four months of on-site fieldwork in an Antioquian municipality that experienced decades of presence by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Methodologically\, he uses interviews\, oral histories\, participant observation\, and voting data to gather information about FARC socialization\, governance practices\, and civilians’ political beliefs. Daniel finds that inhabitants of former FARC zones exhibit political beliefs more in line with the FARC’s ideology than non-FARC zones\, and these differences are even more pronounced in areas that experienced participatory FARC governance. His findings stress that even for armed groups unable to capture the state\, under certain conditions they may induce long-term ideational change in civilians that alter political beliefs and expectations of government. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER\nDaniel Hirschel-Burns (Ph.D. Yale University) is a political scientist whose research focuses on comparative politics\, civil war\, ideology\, and qualitative methods. He was a United State Institute of Peace Peace Scholar in the 2022-2023 academic year. At Princeton\, he is developing his book project\, provisionally titled “The Ideological Socialization of Civilians During Civil War”\, which examines under what conditions the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) succeeded in changing civilians’ political beliefs during the Colombian Civil War. He is also working on a co-authored project documenting and theorizing governing violence committed by armed groups\, the first paper of which was published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution. Separately\, he is working on co-authored paper about the relationship between political film in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the political beliefs of viewers. \nDISCUSSANT\nJuan C.

Through a detailed study of porcelain manufacture during the mid-eighteenth century\, the project rethinks early modern industrial planning in China in dialog with the studies of expert culture in the early modern world. By examining the innovation and hindrance in ceramic production in the realpolitik of the Manchu court\, he scrutinizes the crucial roles that multiethnic technocrats played in codifying technological knowledge and in creating distinctive artistic forms that were essential to the cultural policies of the Qing court. Tang Ying (1682-1756)\, the polymath supervisor of the imperial porcelain manufacture will be our local guide to the porcelain industry\, and introduce the community of technocrats\, who served as the emperors’ private attendants\, acted as hands-on mediators at the center of Eurasian cultural exchange. The project also analyzes the court’s ceramic styles that emulate European wares and imitate ancient ritual wares\, as well as the propagandistic rhetoric in ceramic treatises. The ceramic industry centered at the court showcases a technocratic culture that championed empiricism\, material experimentalism\, and conservative loyalism in art and knowledge production.\nOrganized by the East Asian Studies Program\nCosponsored by the P.Y. and Kinmay W.
