Please join the Asian & Asian-American Studies Institute for a conversation with their Artist in Residence Ali Asgar Tara on Rethinking Freedom.
A critical conversation to understand how we can reimagine freedom by examining the intersections between gender and sexual marginality from the global south context. The conversation will also involve discussing how various systems of oppression are connected to queer subjectivity by centering and explaining this through my art practice and community organizing.Contact Information: Stephanie Lumbra; stephanie.lumbra@uconn.edu More

ALI ASGAR TARA
Rethinking Freedom - A critical conversation to understand how we can reimagine freedom by examining the intersections between gender and sexual marginality from the global south context. The conversation will also involve discussing how various systems of oppression are connected to queer subjectivity by centering and explaining this through my art practice and community organizing.
Ali Asgar Tara (they/them/she/her) is a Bangladeshi transgender artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Tara combines video, text, drawing, and community performance to create political, site responsive, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Twitter @aliasgarart
Tara’s scholarship and art are reflective of their past & present experiences in a very different social, cultural, political, and educational environment. Tara’s current research-based art practice looks at the narratives of queer liberation in the context of the global north and juxtaposes it with their experience and understanding of queerness from the global south and argues how the neoliberal global market economy depoliticizes queerness as an Identity.Contact Information: jason.o.chang@uconn.edu More

RESCHEDULED to May 9 : Atomic, Molecular, And Optical Physics Seminar
Monday, May 2nd, 202203:30 PM - 04:30 PMStorrs CampusGS-117Dr. Aaron Laforge, Department of Physics, University of Connecticut
Ultrafast interatomic decay processes induced by quantum fluid dynamics
Weakly-bound complexes are unique systems to study XUV-mediated decay processes since energy can either be internally converted or exchanged with a neighboring atom or molecule. For larger nanoscale systems, the local environment also plays a critical role in the various interatomic processes. Here, I will discuss how the formation and dynamics of "bubbles" around excited atoms in helium nanodroplets can dramatically enhance interatomic decay. Furthermore, I will discuss how these processes can also be applied to other fluids such as water.Contact Information: Prof. G. Gibson More

5/11Entrepreneurship And Innovation Policy Research Seminar
Entrepreneurship And Innovation Policy Research Seminar
Wednesday, May 11th, 202211:00 AM - 11:55 AMOtherVirtual
Are you interested in entrepreneurship and innovation policy?
The Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation co-organizes the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Virtual Research Seminar Series!
Join the mailing list for seminar announcements here: https://mailchi.mp/3d0399d764f5/eip-virtual-research-seminar
Governments around the world enact policies that affect technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. An increasing number of scholars are investigating these topics, which has implications on policy design and program implementation. Yet, scholars lack a forum for presenting their work. This virtual seminar series will fill this gap—bringing together the insights from academia and policy application—thereby increasing our understanding of policy issues and build a forum for expressing these ideas and a supportive community to nourish them.
The next seminar will be on May 11: from 11:00 am to 11:55 am ET. Donna Ginther will present, "The rise of teamwork and career prospects in academic science" (with Mabel Andalon, Catherine de Fontenay, and Quanghui Lim).

5/13PSELC: Disrupting Bias and Responding to Microaggressions
PSELC: Disrupting Bias and Responding to Microaggressions
Friday, May 13th, 202209:00 AM - 04:00 PMHartford CampusHTBInstructor: Kenya Rutland, Principal, KJR Consulting. At any given moment our brains are receiving 11 million pieces of information. Yet, we can only consciously process about 40 of those pieces. To make sense of the rest, we rely on our subconscious to filter information. Our brain does this using generalizations, beliefs, and stereotypes. This approach to processing information and making decisions can lead to biases we may not be even aware of. These unconscious biases are normal and in many cases they are useful. However, they can cause people to overlook great ideas and ignore an individual’s potential. They can also result in microaggressions. Microaggressions are everyday slights, indignities, put-downs, and insults that demean or offend others. They are often fueled by our unconscious bias, which means we may not even be aware of them and how they lead to exclusionary behavior.

5/25Grad Fellowships Application Development Program
Grad Fellowships Application Development Program
Wednesday, May 25th, 202212:00 PM - 01:00 PMStorrs CampusVirtual
The summer application development program offers two tracks:
Track one: for students developing NSF GRFP applications
Track two: for students developing Fulbright graduate research applications
The program runs from June 5-10th and applications for both tracks are due on May 25th.
Track I
The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF) is conducting a workshop series that will present NSF GRFP information and provide structured practice to develop a competitive GRFP application. In this workshop, graduate students (and a select number of undergraduate students) from NSF eligible fields will participate in a 5-part series that will include an overview of the GRFP and application process, first-hand advice from GRFP recent awardees and interactive sessions to review and revise their application documents. The workshop will also provide a timeline and guidance for requesting recommendation letters. In addition to preparing a more competitive GRFP application, workshop participants will gain experience drafting a research outline and conveying their research to broad audiences. Please note that participation is limited to 20 students. Acceptance is based on minimum criteria outlined in the application and the quality of the submitted application. If there are any questions, please contact Rowena Grainger, Enrichment Program Assistant Director for Research and Fellowships, at rowena.grainger@uconn.edu.
