Description: The Implicit Normativity in Language and Norms of Life

Commons East Room 304 3301 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD

This interdisciplinary workshop takes description as a route to explore the ways in which our norms are embedded within and throughout language rather than reflecting external rules. While hard oppositions have been made between description and narration, pictorial and verbal, sound and sense, this workshop is attempting to create a vocabulary of description at different […]

Critical Diaspora Studies and U.S. Empire in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia: A Symposium of Student Research

The DMV region is home to refugee and migrant communities from across the globe. It is also home to the centerpieces of the national security state, including CIA headquarters, the Pentagon, numerous military bases, as well as outposts of all the major firms that comprise the military-industrial complex, plus three of the military’s university-affiliated research centers. This symposium of original student research inquires into the connections between these two aspects of regional development, as well as how migrants and their families grapple with continuing forms of slow violence such as racialized displacement.

Bodian Seminar: Vinny Costa

@ Vincent Costa, Ph.D.Assistant Professor, Division of NeuroscienceOregon National Primate Research CenterOregon Health & Science University Disynaptic motivational circuits regulate decisions to explore or exploit Motivational circuits facilitate reinforcement learning and support computations relevant for solving the explore-exploit dilemma. But it has been difficult to dissect the neural circuits involved in exploration, since these choices […]

Bodian Seminar: Hiroyuki Kato

@ Hiroyuki Kato, Ph.D.Associate ProfessorDepartment of Psychiatry & Neuroscience CenterUniversity of North Carolina Chapel Hill Sensory Integration along the Auditory Cortical Hierarchy Our brain’s ability to parse overlapping sounds and reconstruct individual perceptual sound objects is essential in navigating acoustically complex environments. Despite ample evidence suggesting the critical roles of higher-order auditory cortices in integrating […]

DH Workshop: Daniel Wilson – Living with Machines

Gilman 195

Daniel Wilson, a research fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, explores the potential applications of computational techniques for the exploration of the history of science and technology. He will be discussing work that he completed as part of "Living with Machines," a groundbreaking research project to reconsider the industrial revolution in the UK through data driven […]

Bodian Seminar: Stefan Mihalas

@ Stefan Mihalas, Ph.D.InvestigatorAllen Institute for Brain Science Computing with complex components: How heterogeneous, nonstationary and noisy neurons and synapses contribute to the brain’s computational power While artificial neural networks have taken inspiration from biological ones, one salient difference exists at the level of components. Artificial networks are generally built with homogeneous, stationary and deterministic […]
