SUMMARY:Soldiers and Kings: Inside the World of Human Smuggling
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Mexico (with financial and logistical support from the Obama administration) launched Programa Frontera Sur\, a security enforcement project aimed at stopping Central American migrants from reaching the U.S./Mexico border. Under this program\, Mexico dramatically increased arrests and deportations while simultaneously making the migration journey more arduous and deadly. In response to this heightened security\, migrants have turned to transnational gangs such as MS-13 who have become increasingly involved in the human smuggling industry. In 2015 De León began a long-term photoethnographic project focused on understanding the daily lives of Honduran smugglers who profit from transporting migrants across the length of Mexico. In this talk he will use ethnographic data to discuss the relationship between transnational gangs and the human smuggling industry and outline the complicated role that photography plays as a field method and data source in this violent and ethically challenging context. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER\nJason De León is Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project and the Colibri Center for Human Rights\, a joint 501(c)(3) organization focused on raising awareness about issues related to migration and assisting families of missing migrants search for their loved ones. De León is Professor of Anthropology and Chicana\, Chicano\, and Central American Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles and Head Curator of the ongoing global exhibition “Hostile Terrain 94.” He is the author of the award-winning book “The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail” and a 2017 MacArthur Fellow. \nLEARN MORE\nUndocumented Migration Project \nHostile Terrain 94 \nDISCUSSANTS\nAgustín Fuentes\, Anthropology\, Princeton University\nPatricia Fernandez-Kelly\, Sociology\, Princeton University \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Anthropology\, Center for Migration and Development\, Effron Center for the Study of America\, Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS)\, and the Humanities Council. \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Getting Something to Eat in Jackson: Race\, Class\, and Food in the American South
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Ewoodzie Jr.\, Associate Professor of Sociology\, Vann Professor of Racial Justice\, Davidson College\, spent more than a year following a group of socioeconomically diverse African Americans — from upper-middle-class patrons of the city’s fine-dining restaurants to men experiencing homelessness who must organize their days around the schedules of soup kitchens. He went food shopping\, cooked\, and ate with a young mother living in poverty and a grandmother working two jobs. He worked in a Black-owned BBQ restaurant\, and he met a man who decided to become a vegan for health reasons but must drive across town to get tofu and quinoa. He learned about how soul food is changing and why it is no longer a staple survival food. Now he presents his findings to show how food choices influence\, and are influenced by\, the racial and class identities of Black Jacksonians. \nDemonstrating how “foodways” — food availability\, choice\, and consumption — vary greatly between classes of African Americans in Jackson\, Mississippi\, and how this reflects and shapes their very different experiences of a shared racial identity\, Ewoodzie offers new insights into the lives of Black Southerners and helps challenge the persistent homogenization of blackness in American life. The phrase ‘You are what you eat’ gains new poignance in this fascinating\, mouth-watering\, study. \n\nSponsors\n\nPrinceton Food Project\, a Humanities Council Magic Project\nDepartment of Sociology\nEffron Center for the Study of America

SUMMARY:James Baldwin Lecture Series: "The Limits Of The Quantitative Approach To Discrimination"
DESCRIPTION:The annual James Baldwin Lecture series was launched March 29\, 2006\, aiming to celebrate the work of Princeton faculty and to provide an occasion for the intellectual community to reflect on the issue of race and American democracy. The lectures also honor the work of the late essayist James Baldwin\, one of America’s most powerful cultural critics. \nDiscrimination is obvious to the people facing discrimination. Given this\, do we even need quantitative studies to test if it exists? Regardless of the answer\, quantitative studies such as ProPublica’s “Machine Bias” have had a galvanizing effect on racial justice\, especially in the context of automated decision-making. In this talk\, I will discuss what the quantitative approach can reveal\, but\, more importantly\, situations where it cannot tell us what we need to know. Both because of the inherent limits of quantification and because of the way knowledge is socially constructed in quantitative communities\, such studies tend to drastically underestimate discrimination\, oppression\, and algorithmic harms. In the end\, quantification is no substitute for centering the experiences of those harmed. \nArvind Narayanan is an associate professor of computer science at Princeton. His work was among the first to show how machine learning reflects cultural stereotypes including racial and gender biases. He is co-authoring a textbook in fairness and machine learning. Dr. Narayanan co-created an online course and textbook on bitcoin and cryptocurrency technologies which has been used in over 150 courses worldwide. He is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)\, twice recipient of the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Award\, and thrice recipient of the Privacy Papers for Policy Makers Award.

SUMMARY:The Book of Goose: A Novel
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Goose is a magnificent\, beguiling tale winding from the postwar rural provinces to Paris\, from an English boarding school to the quiet Pennsylvania home where a woman can live without her past. It’s a story of disturbing intimacy and obsession\, of exploitation and strength. The celebrated author Yiyun Li will discuss her new novel with her fellow writer and colleague at Princeton\, Idra Novey. \nJoin us at Labyrinth or register here to join online. \nFabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend\, Agnès\, receives the news in America\, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised—the place that Fabienne helped Agnès escape ten years ago. Now\, Agnès is free to tell her story. \nAs children in a war-ravaged\, backwater town\, they’d built a private world\, invisible to everyone but themselves—until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything\, launching Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame\, fortune\, and terrible loss. \nYiyun Li is the author of the novels Must I Go; Where Reasons End; Kinder Than Solitude; A Thousand Years of Good Prayers; The Vagrants; and Gold Boy\, Emerald Girl; and the memoir\, Dear Friend\, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life. She teaches creative writing at Princeton. Idra Novey’s novels are the acclaimed Those Who Knew; and Ways to Disappear. Her poetry collections include Exit\, Civilian; The Next Country; and Clarice: The Visitor. Her works as a translator include Clarice Lispector’s novel The Passion According to G.H. and a co-translation with Ahmad Nadalizadeh of Iranian poet Garous Abdolmalekian\, Lean Against This Late Hour. She teaches creative writing at Princeton University. \nThis event is part of Labyrinth’s and the Princeton Public Library’s ongoing joint programming and is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts and Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:"The Present: A New Period in European History"
DESCRIPTION:Historians of Europe seem to have had difficulty in letting go of the twentieth century. The project of writing a contemporary history of Europe absorbed for several decades the best energies of a post-war generation of historians concerned to understand the span of conflicts\, violence\, division and\, ultimately\, peaceful reunification which provided a defining narrative for what Hobsbawm termed Europe’s short twentieth century from 1914 to 1989. This was a narrative which focused above all on the events of the 1930s and 1940s\, in which Germany\, and Germans\, were often the central actors. However\, Europe\, and its historians\, now inhabit a new century; and to incorporate the profound changes which have occurred in Europe since the 1990s into this narrative framework has become a project of diminishing returns. Europe has a new shape\, new institutions\, and indisputably a new political and social character. It is also preoccupied by new crises and uncertainties: the erosion of European sovereignty\, the economic and political challenges from the east\, and a newly volatile and unpredictable political trajectory. The purpose of this lecture is therefore to explore what happens when historians try to let go of the defining framework of the twentieth century\, and confront the history of the present. \nMartin Conway’s research has been principally concerned with European history from the 1930s to the final decades of the twentieth century. Like many others\, he was initially interested in the inter-war years\, and my doctoral thesis explored the history of the extreme-right movement in Belgium\, the Rexist movement\, during the Second World War. Published in 1993 as Collaboration in Belgium: Léon Degrelle and the Rexist Movement 1940-1944\, it was subsequently published in French and Dutch translations. The Catholic origins of the Rexist movement led him on to develop a wider interest in Catholic politics\, and he has published a number of books and articles which have looked more generally at the shape of Catholic politics in Europe. Professor Conway has also continued his interest in Belgium\, and wrote a large-scale study of Belgium after its liberation in 1944. This was published in 2012 as The Sorrows of Belgium: Liberation and Political Reconstruction 1944-47. \n

SUMMARY:An American Martyr in Persia
DESCRIPTION:The New York Times best-selling author of “Zealot” tells the story of Howard Baskerville\, a student of Woodrow Wilson whose lectures on freedom as a missionary in Persia inspired an early 20th century movement for constitutional democracy. An overlooked figure of history\, Baskerville is alternately viewed as “the American Lafayette”of Iran and as a naive “white savior” stumbling into Persian affairs. \nREZA ASLAN is a leading expert in world religions. He is also an internationally renowned writer\, professor\, and an Emmy- and Peabody-nominated producer. His books\, including his #1 New York Times Bestseller\, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth (over a million copies sold)\, have been translated into dozens of languages around the world.

SUMMARY:Getting to Net-Zero: A Canadian Perspective
DESCRIPTION:In-person attendance for Princeton University ID holders and invited guests; Livestream open to the public on MediaCentral. \nThe world needs to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century for a chance at limiting warming to less than 1.5°C. Last year\, the Canadian government followed the lead of other nations and legislated a goal of net-zero by 2050. Achieving this goal requires shifting from incremental to transformational approaches to public policy\, a challenge for a physically large country with decentralized governance and a substantial fossil fuel industry. In this talk\, I will discuss the Canadian approach to climate policy and the lessons for US climate action\, based on my work as a member of Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body\, created to advise the federal government on achieving its 2050 goal. \nBio: Simon Donner is a professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) whose research lies at the intersection of climate science\, marine science and public policy. He holds appointments in the university’s Institute for Resources\, Environment and Sustainability\, Department of Geography\, and Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries. He was as a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s recent Sixth Assessment Report\, and is the only climate scientist appointed to Canada’s Net-Zero Advisory Body. \nThis event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI).

SUMMARY:Politics of Contamination: Nuclear Impacts on Community Health
DESCRIPTION:Part of Art Hx’s new event series “Healthcare\, Policy\, and Politicization.” Pollution is a global threat\, but not all are affected equally. Since outsourcing much of their industrial production\, many Western cities do not suffer the immediate effects of pollution as severely as they once did. Similarly\, while many governments are committed to nuclear plants\, testing nuclear weapons\, and mining uranium\, the ill effects of these activities are not equally distributed. This is a crisis of health care. \nHow does the nuclear industry affect community health? Which communities are most affected? How has the landscape been politicized through nuclear policy? Within these political and ecological realities\, what might models of care look like\, either now or in the future? This conversation will consider how legislation\, policy\, and practice around nuclear power impact health and well-being. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:The Royal Mint at Potosí: Inside a Global Seventeenth-Century Cash Machine
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Event:\nIn Person: 219 Aaron Burr Hall-Register HERE\nZOOM: Register HERE \nThis presentation examines the world’s most productive mint at its height in the 1640s\, coincidentally a time of global crisis and severe\, nearly universal money troubles. How did the Potosí mint\, located high in the Andes mountains of what is today Bolivia\, influence world money flows by 1640? How did this geographically isolated colonial mint function? When mass debasement was discovered in the early 1640s\, how was it linked to credit structures in Potosí’s and greater Peru’s mining and commercial sectors\, and what does all this tell us about early modern imperial economies and the significance of hard silver cash just as paper credit grew more sophisticated and wartime borrowing ballooned? \nRespondent: Francesca Trivellato\, Andrew W. Mellon Professor\, Institute for Advanced Study\nChair: Yaacob Dweck\, Department of History and the Program in Judaic Studies \nKris Lane holds the France V. Scholes Chair in Colonial Latin American History at Tulane University in New Orleans\, USA. He is author of Pandemic in Potosí: Fear\, Loathing\, and Public Piety in a Colonial Mining Metropolis (2021)\, Potosí: The Silver City that Changed the World (2019)\, Pillaging the Empire: Piracy in the Americas\, 1500-1750 (2015)\, Colour of Paradise: The Emerald in the Age of Gunpowder Empires (2010)\, and Quito 1599: City & Colony in Transition (2002). Lane is currently writing a history of the great Potosí mint fraud of the 1640s. A documentary history of the Basque-Vicuña conflict of the 1620s is in press. \nReception to follow the presentation

SUMMARY:The Epidemic Sublime: Reflections on the Representation of Collective Suffering
DESCRIPTION:Epidemic events and their sociopolitical impact are mediated in an emphatic sense and pose complex challenges to the reflection of their literary and pictorial representation. The rendering of the collective suffering constitutive of these events relies on strategies that illuminate exemplary aspects of their experience. This lecture proposes that the central epistemological challenge – to represent the failure of representation – can be explored with the help of the concept of the sublime as defined by Kant among others. By examining aspects of exemplary and influential points in the history of painting and literature from Poussin to Defoe\, Manzoni\, and possibly Thomas Mann\, the lecture aims to examine the representation of epidemics and its relation to the sublime. \nRegistration required for virtual attendees only.

SUMMARY:Till Movie Screening and Talk Back w/film producer Keith Beauchamp
DESCRIPTION:The Department of African American Studies invites you to a special screening of TILL\, followed by a Q&A session with film producer Keith Beauchamp moderated by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. \n\nEvent Description\n\nAward-Winning Filmmaker Keith A. Beauchamp attended Southern University in Baton Rouge where he studied Criminal Justice with the intention of becoming a Civil Rights Attorney. As a young boy in Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, Beauchamp had his share of run- ins with racism but it wasn’t until an incident where he was assaulted by an undercover police officer after dancing with a white classmate at a party\, that he felt compelled to fight racism and move to New York. It was here he would pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker. Beauchamp honed his behind-the-camera skills during the day and spent his evenings doing research and reaching out to anyone who might have information on the Emmett Till case\, a story told to Beauchamp when he was just 10 years old. \n\n\nTill is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley’s relentless pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son\, Emmett Till\, who\, in 1955\, was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie’s poignant journey of grief turned to action\, we see the universal power of a mother’s ability to change the world. \nTo reserve your seat\, please register by Wednesday\, October 19

SUMMARY:Everyday Life in the ‘Spectacular’ City: Making Home in Dubai
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present an urban ethnography that reveals how middle class-citizens and long-time residents of Dubai interact with the city’s spectacular and so-called “superficial” spaces to create meaningful social lives. It will argue that residents adapt themselves to imposed spectacular structures\, such as big shopping malls and new developments\, while also making these same structures serve their own evolving social needs. By offering an alternative to the discourse of authenticity\, elucidating the dynamics of ambivalent belonging\, and theorizing adaptive agency\, this talk will challenge the popular and scholarly stereotypes that portray Dubai’s developments as “inauthentic\,” objectively alienating\, and inherently disempowering. Moreover\, it will present adaptation as a new framework for understanding how contemporary subjects operate beyond the conceptual binary of resistance and capitulation in relating themselves and their communities to the increasingly twinned developments of illiberal society and neoliberal spectacle.

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum // Of Milk\, Blood\, and Bones: Brazil’s Colonial and Postcolonial Plantation "Big House"
DESCRIPTION:Gilberto Freyre’s influential book Casa Grande e Senzala [The Masters and the Slaves] (1933) has been an international reference in Brazil’s historical racial relations. In this equally historiographical and fictional study\, a benevolent rendering of the plantation’s “big house” stands for Brazil\, that is\, as the root of its modern\, exceptional\, and multiculturalist society. In this view\, colonial domesticity’s openness to “masters” and “slaves” nurtured interracial relations\, miscegenation\, and transculturation. According to Freyre\, spatial practices such as implanted bones and blood in building foundations and breast milk ties between white boys and their Black wet nurses embodied some of Brazil’s hybridity matrices. \nIn this presentation\, Ozaki will analyze these historiographical and spatial tropes to contend how the plantation permeated modern frameworks of territory and domesticity. \nAttend this discussion in Betts Auditorium\, abiding by University event guidelines. Box lunches are provided while supplies last. \nOr register in advance for this Zoom webinar:\nhttps://princeton.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iBApUPu0RxyRoQK1mTrkQg

SUMMARY:The Queerness of Home
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Program in Media + Modernity | Princeton University presents: \nStephen Vider\n“The Queerness of Home”\n[Response: S.E. Eisterer]\nTuesday\, October 25\, 2022 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nDrawing on research from his new book\, The Queerness of Home: Gender\, Sexuality\, and the Politics of Domesticity After World II (University of Chicago Press\, 2021)\, Vider will trace the history of two radical experiments of the 1970s—Phyllis Birkby’s lesbian architecture project and Survival House\, an early group home for queer and trans homeless youth—to reconsider the place of domestic practices\, spaces\, and archives in LGBTQ history. While scholars in queer studies have largely emphasized public and commercial spaces as the primary sites of LGBTQ politics and community\, Vider will argue that the intimacy of home space has been equally crucial to the history of postwar LGBTQ life. \nStephen Vider is Assistant Professor of History and founding director of the Public History Initiative at Cornell University. His writing has appeared in American Quarterly\, Gender & History\, and The Public Historian. In 2017\, Vider curated the exhibition AIDS at Home: Art and Everyday Activism for the Museum of the City of New York. \nS.E. Eisterer is Assistant Professor for Architectural History and Theory at the School of Architecture at Princeton University. Her research focuses on spatial histories of dissidence\, feminist\, queer\, and trans theory\, as well as the labor of social and ecological movements. \nPlease note: A discount code will be provided to each attendee of the event. This code will provide a 30% discount on orders of The Queerness of Home placed on the University of Chicago Press website. \nImage: Residents at Survival House\, 1977. Photograph by Bruce Pavlow.

SUMMARY:"Getting to the Point. Genealogies of the Analog Code”
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Program in Media + Modernity | Princeton University presents: \nWolfgang Schäffner\n“Getting to the Point. Genealogies of the Analog Code”\n[Response: Joseph Vogl]\nTuesday\, November 01\, 2022 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nEvent co-sponsored by: Department of Art & Archaeology\, Center for Collaborative History\, Comparative Literature\, Department of German\, IHUM\, Program in European Cultural Studies\, Program in Medieval Studies. \nThe terms analog and digital\, introduced in the 20th century\, have very ancient predecessors in the dichotomy of continuous and discrete elements\, which separated geometric quantities from letters and numbers in Mediterranean Antiquity. While the latter have been extensively studied in the form of the alphanumeric code\, corresponding media analyses of the geometric elements are lacking. Similarly\, studies of the history of images are rarely connected to the question of basic geometric operations that lead beyond the alphanumeric code. The epistemic neglection of the analog had tremendous consequences which only today – in the heydays of the digital – can become evident.\nAgainst this background\, the lecture uncovers a long and dramatic history of the point being the element of all elements\, in which questions about the analog as symbolic-material operations culminate. The lecture focuses on two particularly important historical settings\, Italian Early Modernity and Greek Antiquity\, through which the genesis of the analog code will be elucidated. However\, this historical genealogy is inextricably tied to the genealogy of a possible future of the analog code\, which is currently assuming particular importance. \nWolfgang Schäffner\, a historian of science and media technologies\, has been Professor of the Cultural History of Knowledge at the Department of History and Theory of Culture at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin since 2009. \nJoseph Vogl is Professor of Modern German Literature\, Cultural and Media Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (since 2006) as well as Regular Visiting Professor (every Fall term) at Princeton University. \nM+M also co-sponsors:\nWolfgang Schäffner Lunchtime Workshop:\n“Hardware\, Everywhere. An Invitation to a New Field of Media Materialism”\nWednesday\, November 2\, @12:00-1:30pm ET\nRSVP Required – Lunch will be provided. \nImage: Giotto di Bondone (1320)\, San Francesco riceve le stimmate.

SUMMARY:The Caribbean Through a Science Fiction Lens
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the use of science fiction elements in recent Hispanic Caribbean cultural production\, in particular the ways in which the estranging nature of science fiction intervenes in reading and viewing patterns in the Caribbean context. While some science fiction narratives introduce new worlds or envision radically different future environments\, many recent science fiction texts from the Caribbean\, whether literary\, cinematic\, visual\, or sonic\, engage with or extrapolate from the particularities of contemporary experience. Emily Maguire argues that Caribbean texts deploy science fictional elements as a means of forcing the reader to step back\, reframe their gaze\, and read both the known and the unknown differently. Science fiction becomes a special “lens\,” one that troubles established understandings of national histories and events\, plays with current ideas of the nation\, and reframes the reader’s perception of literary\, cinematic\, and cultural canons. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER\nEmily A. Maguire is an Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Northwestern University\, where she specializes in literature of the Hispanic Caribbean and its diasporas. She is the author of Racial Experiments in Cuban Literature and Ethnography (University Press of Florida\, 2011; 2nd edition\, 2018)\, and her articles have appeared in Revista de Estudios Hispánicos\, Small Axe\, A Contracorriente\, ASAP/Journal\, and Revista Iberoamericana\, among other places. She is currently finishing on a second book project on the temporality of Caribbean science fiction. \nDISCUSSANT: Lilianne Lugo Herrera\, PLAS Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer\, Princeton University \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars and specially invited guests. A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Invention of the "Political Offender": The Sino-Japanese War and the Abortive Sino-American Extradition Treaty\, 1893-1895
DESCRIPTION:The “decade of regicide” (1892-1901) shook major world powers and resulted in a new legal definition of “political offenders\,” paving the way for the extradition of anarchists and terrorists in the name of “transnational security.” As with European powers and the United States\, the Qing government also grew more desperate to recover its political enemies from colonies and foreign territories\, especially after the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-95. In the summer of 1894\, soon after the conclusion of the Gresham-Yang Treaty\, China and the United States were on the verge of signing an extradition treaty\, but the sudden outbreak of war\, the Qing’s military setbacks\, and a major scandal involving Japanese prisoners led to a collapse of the Qing’s image and international standing\, ending the prospect of the treaty. In this talk\, Professor Day examines these divergent strands of history\, some previously unknown\, to shed new light on the emergence of the revolutionary party in the Qing.

SUMMARY:My talk\, others’ talk — Quoted speech and evidentials in Kotiria conversation
DESCRIPTION:In Kotiria\, an endangered East Tukano language of northwestern Amazonia\, direct or quoted speech is prevalent in informal everyday conversations and is used to represent both actual dialog and the internal monologic speech of oneself and others. This presentation considers the questions: How do speakers use direct speech in conversation? Why is it employed so pervasively and for what kinds of interactional purposes? Examples drawn from a large corpus of conversational data reveal new facets of quoted speech use — including multilingual shifts and multiple levels of embedding (e.g. quoted speech within quoted speech) — and also shed light on some of the interactional motivations driving speakers’ choices to “repackage” information as quotation. Of particular interest is how the use of direct speech can aid the interactional reconstruction and validation of a speaker’s own evaluation of a situation. We examine data showing that speakers’ skillful manipulation of evidential coding (obligatory in Tukanoan languages) in their own speech and within speech attributed to others can aid management and negotiation of epistemic rights and social responsibilities. \nDr. Kristine Stenzel was an Associate Professor of Linguistics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, for thirteen years and is now at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. She has conducted research with the Kotiria and Wa’ikhana language communities since 2000\, receiving grants from NSF\, NEH\, ELDP\, as well as CNPq and CAPES in Brazil. Her scientific contributions include A Reference Grammar of Kotiria and publications in English and in Portuguese on diverse topics in phonology\, morphosyntax\, discourse\, multilingualism\, contact phenomena\, and language documentation. She has developed language maintenance and revitalization materials for the Kotiria and Wa’ikhana\, including practical orthographies\, pedagogical publications\, documentary films\, and audiovisual archives (ELAR\, open access).
