Biology Seminar: What regulates the regulators? Investigating determinants of transcriptional regulationConfirmedOur next biology seminar will take place on Monday, February 24, featuring Dr. Deborah Thurtle-Schmidt, Assistant Professor of Biology, Davidson College. Dr. Thurtle-Schmidt's seminar is titled: "What regulates the regulators? Investigating determinants of transcriptional regulation?" She studies nuclear hormone receptors and gene regulation in C. elegans using a variety of -omics approaches. Dr. Thurtle-Schmidt is also really interested in pedagogical tool development and has written a number of primers and reading guides designed to help undergraduates learn about techniques and primary literature in genetics.

Mathematics & Statistics Colloquium: Degree D Points on CurvesConfirmedJoin the Department of Mathematics & Statistics for the 2025 Colloquium talk "Degree D Points on Curves" by Lea Beneish, assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Texas. This talk considers the question “What is the set of degrees D such that equations of the form f(x,y,z) = 0 have solutions of degree D?” This set turns out to have some interesting properties. The solution set of a polynomial in three variables in which every monomial has the same degree is referred to as a plane curve. A famous example of such a plane curve is given by the equation relating Pythagorean triples, $x^2+y^2=z^2$ where positive integer solutions correspond to right angled triangles with integer side lengths; in this case, there are infinitely many (primitive) solutions. However, an equation where two squares sum to the negative of another square, for example, $x^2+y^2=-z^2$ has no rational solutions, as the sum of two squares cannot be negative. Even though this equation has no rational solutions, it may have infinitely many solutions involving the imaginary number i. Since i has a minimal polynomial of degree 2 one says that such a point has degree 2 (for example, (i, 0, 1)) is a point of degree 2, whereas a rational point is considered a point of degree 1). This talk is based on joint work with Andrew Granville. For more information, contact the colloquium chair, Dr. Michael Kerckhove at mkerckho@richmond.edu.mkerckho@richmond.edu2/24/2025 12:00pm30.0Jepson Hall, 109Department of Mathematics & Statistics1:002/24/2025 1:00pm

Ryland Lecture: Hidden Histories of Black Civil RightsConfirmedJoin the Department of History for the 2024-25 Ryland Lecture with Dylan C. Penningroth, professor of law and Alexander F. and May T. Morrison Professor of History at UC Berkeley. How did African Americans think about, talk about, and use the law long before the marches of the 1960s? Weaving together a variety of sources — from state and federal appellate courts to long-forgotten documents found in county courthouse basements, from family interviews to church records — this lecture will reveal how African Americans thought about, talked about, and used the law long before the marches of the 1960s. In a world that denied their constitutional rights, Black people built lives for themselves through common law “rights of everyday use.” Penningroth’s research offers a rich vision of Black life ― a vision allied with, yet distinct from, the freedom struggle.catherine.hash@richmond.edu2/24/2025 5:30pm40.0Brown Alley RoomA&S/History2/24/2025 6:30pm

"Intentional Ambiguity around Refugees: Purposeful Discrepancies between Law and Implementation in the Middle East"ConfirmedThe Department of Political Science invite you to attend “Intentional Ambiguity around Refugees: Purposeful Discrepancies between Law and Implementation in the Middle East” with Lillian Frost, from the Virginia Tech University. Why do states adopt ambiguous policies toward refugees that say one thing in law but another in implementing regulations? Although it is well known that states often adopt ambiguous policies toward refugees, particularly in first-receiving states, much less is known about what constitutes an ambiguous policy and why first-receiving states adopt such policies over time. This is particularly the case when analyzing refugees’ rights after they have entered a receiving state, rather than their ability to enter or not. This paper argues that states adopt ambiguous policies toward refugees in response to constraints and pressures from dominant stakeholders (i.e., the most influential and interested actors in a policy area) on the state’s executive leaders (e.g., presidents, kings, prime ministers, etc. and their closest advisors) before the policy’s adoption. When these policymakers face conflicting constraints or pressures from dominant stakeholders about granting a specific right, then they can please both sides by drafting the policy’s law to placate one side and its implementation to please the other, producing a policy of intentional ambiguity. Lillian Frost’s research interests include citizenship, forced migration, law and society, gender, and Middle East politics. She studies the legal and practiced dimensions of citizenship as well as variations in citizenship policies toward migrant groups and women. She has received numerous grants and fellowships supporting her research. These include a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellowship at the European University Institute, Peace Scholar Dissertation Fellowship from the United States Institute of Peace and Minerva Research Initiative, Middle East Initiative Pre-Doctoral Research Fellowship at Harvard University, and Fulbright Fellowship for dissertation research. She also regularly presents at academic conferences, including the annual meetings of the American Political Science Association, Middle East Studies Association, and Law and Society Association. In addition, she has given talks on her research at a variety of universities, including Harvard University, University of Washington Seattle, Maastricht University, and University of Pennsylvania.delkurd@richmond.edu3/20/2025 12:00pm30.0Whitehurst Living RoomA&S/Political Science3/20/2025 1:30pm

Mormon Wrestling: A GenealogyConfirmedThis talk explores the lives and careers of “Brother Jonathan, The Battling Preacher” and “Don Leo Jonathan, The Mormon Giant”—two professional wrestlers with Mormon gimmicks, with careers spanning 1930 to 1980—as a way of understanding the commingled history of religion and popular culture in America. Their careers are as good a metric for the life of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 20th century as any other that we have. Perhaps even better, they demonstrate how religion and wrestling work together—how they shape and reflect each other—in the modern world.epeeble2@richmond.edu3/27/2025 7:00pm30.0Brown Alley RoomA&S/Religious Studies3/27/2025 8:30pm

Media, Culture and Decolonization: Re-Righting the Subaltern Histories of GhanaConfirmedJoin the Department of Rhetoric & Communication Studies for a book talk with Wunpini Fatimata Mohammed, assistant professor in the Department of Communication at Cornell University. Media, Culture and Decolonization: Rerighting the Subaltern Histories of Ghana invites us to look at media and culture from a decolonial perspective. Through African epistemologies and knowledge systems, this book examines media by highlighting how African languages, cultures and traditions can completely shift how we think of knowledge. It is an offering to anyone curious about the relationship between culture, language and media. By focusing on African language media in Ghana such as film, television and radio, the book emphasizes the importance of espousing a decolonial politic and praxis in the process of co-creating knowledge with indigenous communities. It succinctly connects the struggles of global majority countries and demonstrates the ways in which (neo)colonialism and imperialism impede the work toward liberatory futures. It deconstructs subalternity and marginality within the nation state demonstrating its fixity and malleability in the processes of cultural production. This book demonstrates the potential that African language media hold as tools of cultural and epistemological decolonization.
