Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Physical Chemistry Seminar Series

Professor David Limmer, University of California—Berkeley Hosted by: Marina Guenza

On the nature of chemical reactivity in atmospheric aerosol

Most of our intuition about chemistry stems from observations made in macroscopic beakers. Increasingly observations made in small containers, where surface to volume ratios are large, defy standard expectations suggesting that on the smallest scales chemical reactivity can be altered.

In this talk, I will discuss some of our work on chemical reactivity in the presence of extensive air-water interfaces, like that which occur in atmospheric aerosol. I will show how rates and mechanisms of reactions can vary dramatically in such heterogeneous environments and how modern computational tools can be deployed to render testable predictions.

3:30 p.m.
McKenzie Hall 375

Join the Department of History and Nicholas B. Breyfogle, University of Ohio, for a talk on “Drowning the Sacred Sea: Lake Baikal and the Hydroelectric Moment in World History."

Free and open to the public.

This paper examines the building of the Irkutsk Hydroelectric dam and the human-induced, hydroelectric flooding of Siberia’s Lake Baikal that began in the mid-1950s and transformed the water systems, fish and human ecologies, energy flows, and cultural practices (especially religious) of the diverse peoples of the region. The dam resulted in a rise in water depth of more than 4 meters around the lake. Whole communities found their villages drowned, water transport infrastructure disappeared, the shoreline was irrevocably changed, and the spawning grounds for the lake's endemic (and iconic) fish, the omul, were destroyed. The Shamanist Buriat communities found religious sites dropped underwater and struggled to prevent (and then culturally to absorb) the loss of these sacred sites. This paper explores the ways that hydrological and geological factors merged with economic and technological to generate interest in building a multi-dam cascade along the Angara river; the extensive efforts to prepare the lands that would be flooded by the dam; the rise of new ways of thinking about and using the lake; and finally the impact the dam had on the omul population (and the fishing industry that was based on them) Throughout, the paper places the Baikal story in the larger context of global hydroelectric development. 

Dr. Nicholas B. Breyfogle is Professor of History and Director of the Harvey Goldberg Center for Excellence in Teaching at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. He is a specialist in the history of Russia/Soviet Union and in global environmental and water history. He is the author/(co-)editor of multiple volumes, including Hydraulic Societies: Water, Power, and Control in East and Central Asian History (2023), Place and Nature: Essays in Russian Environmental History (2021), Nature at War: American Environments and World War II (2020), Eurasian Environments: Nature and Ecology in Imperial Russian and Soviet History (2018), Readings in Water History (2020), Peopling the Russian Periphery: Borderland Colonization in Eurasian History (2007), and Heretics and Colonizers: Forging Russia’s Empire in the South Caucasus (2005). He is currently completing two books: “Baikal: the Great Lake and its People” and “Water: A Human History.”  Since 2007, Breyfogle has worked as co-editor of the online magazine/podcast/video channel Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective, http://origins.osu.edu and most recently on Picturing Black History, https://www.picturingblackhistory.org/. In 2022, he was awarded The Herbert Feis Award for Distinguished Contributions to Public History from the American Historical Association. In 2024, his next co-edited book, Picturing Black History: Photographs and Stories that Changed the World will be published with Abrams Books.

Roots and Rhythms: A Conversation on Afrodescendencia, Indigenous Heritage, and Community Empowerment in Mexico and Puerto Rico

April 29 / 4PM-5:30PM / Lawrence 115

Join us for a research colloquium as we delve into the intersections of Afrodescendencia, Indigenous heritage, and community empowerment in Mexico and Puerto Rico.

Alai Reyes-Santos (Professor of Practice, UO School of Law) and Abigayle Mitchell (Grad Student, UO School of Law) will present their research on La Piedra del Sapo, a significant Indigenous site in Puerto Rico. They'll explore how this site can facilitate meaningful engagement with the past and shape sustainable futures for the people of Cidra and the Puerto Rican diaspora.

Abraham Landa (Grad Student, Ethnomusicology) will share his research project, "Black Mexico: Music, Dance, and the Construction of Afrodescendencia in Costa Chica." This project examines the performance of African music and dance in Costa Chica, Mexico, and how Afro-Mexican communities use cultural expressions to claim historical presence and cultural recognition.

This event provides a platform for CLLAS-funded researchers to share their findings and engage in a broader conversation about the significance of these topics. We hope to see you there!

“Re-imagine: Our Social Change Ecosystems”
May 14
4:00 p.m.

Presented by the Oregon Humanities Center

In an era of increased isolation where civic deserts, disinformation, and technological dependence separate us from one another, how can we reimagine our capacity for deeper connection and sustainable collaboration in our current reality? Deepa Iyer, a social justice advocate, will lead an exploration of the pathways that strengthen ecosystems for social change in her talk titled “Re-imagine: Our Social Change Ecosystems” on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 4 p.m. in the Knight Library Browsing Room. 

Deepa Iyer is a South Asian American writer, strategist, and lawyer. Her work is rooted in Asian American, South Asian, Muslim, and Arab communities where she spent fifteen years in policy advocacy and coalition building in the wake of the September 11th attacks and ensuing backlash. Currently, Deepa leads projects on solidarity and social movements at the Building Movement Project, a national nonprofit organization that catalyzes social change through research, strategic partnerships, and resources for movements and nonprofits. She conducts workshops and trainings, uplifts narratives through the “Solidarity Is This” podcast, and facilitates solidarity strategy for cohorts and networks. 

 Deepa’s first book, We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim, and Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multiracial Future (2015), chronicles community-based histories in the wake of 9/11 and received a 2016 American Book Award. Her debut children’s picture book, We Are The Builders!, was released in 2024.  

 Deepa’s book Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection (2022) is a practical guide for those on journeys towards justice, equity, and solidarity. It introduces an ecosystems framework that includes ten roles that many people play in service of social change values. Over the past three years, individuals and organizations around the world have used the social change ecosystem framework to respond to the pandemic, express solidarity during the uprisings against anti-Black racism, and support multiracial coalitions struggling for reproductive rights, immigrant and refugee protections, and climate justice. Free copies of Social Change Now will be available at Iyer’s talk. 

Iyer is the UO’s 2024–25 Lorwin Lecturer in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Her talk, part of the OHC’s “Re-imagine” series, is free and open to the public and will be livestreamed and recorded. Please register at ohc.uoregon.edu

Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Diamond Lake Room 119

Join the Department of Cinema Studies for a talk with Dr. Stephanie Mastrostefano, Senior CG Animation Coordinator at LAIKA Studios, on Friday, May 16th at 10 am in the EMU Diamond Lake Room (Room 119). Free and open to the community! 

Drawing on Dr. Stephanie Mastrostefano’s graduate research into women’s labor in the Ink and Paint Department at Walt Disney Studios during the 1930s, and her current role in production management at LAIKA Studios, this talk invites us to consider how we can bring the tools of academic scholarship into the everyday work of making, managing, and imagining animation’s future. Dr. Mastrostefano reflects on how historical labor patterns continue to influence the animation industry today, not only in organizational structures and workflows, but in whose voices are heard and whose work is seen. By blending historical research with personal experience, she addresses the ongoing challenges and opportunities for women in animation and explores how bridging scholarship and industry can lead to meaningful change. 

Dr. Stephanie Mastrostefano (PhD 2024, University of Oregon) is a Senior CG Animation Coordinator at LAIKA Studios in Portland, OR. Her research examines how cinematic technologies, labor practices, and social attitudes shaped—and sometimes subverted—women’s roles in animation during its industrial development. After a decade researching women’s contributions to animation, Stephanie transitioned from academia to industry to actively promote pathways for women’s advancement from within. She now oversees CG animated shot production on LAIKA’s upcoming feature, Wildwood.

A talk by the author, Allen James Fromherz

World history began in the Persian Gulf. The ancient port cities that dotted its coastlines created the first global seaboard, a place from where faiths and cultures from around the world set sail and made contact. More than a history, The Center of the World shows us that contradictions that define our modern age have always been present.

 

For over four thousand years, the Gulf—sometimes called the Persian Gulf, sometimes the Arabian Gulf—has been a global crossroads while managing to avoid control by the world’s greatest empires. In its history, we see a world of rapid change, fluctuating centers of trade, a dependency on uncertain global markets, and intense cross-cultural encounters that hold a mirror to the contemporary world. Focusing each chapter on a different port around the Gulf, The Center of the World shows how the people of the Gulf adapted to larger changes in world history, creating a system of free trade, merchant rule, and commerce that continues to define the region today.

Lanie Millar, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, and Fabienne Moore, associate professor of French, collaborated on a newly published book The Revolution Will Be a Poetic Act: African Culture and Decolonization (Polity, 2024), a translation of essays and speeches by prolific anticolonial writer, poet, and politician Mário Pinto de Andrade. The two scholars will give the Oregon Humanities Center’s Spring Wine Chat.

Born in Angola during Portuguese colonial rule, Mário Pinto de Andrade (1928–1990) was one Africa’s most important 20th-century intellectuals who wrote in French, Portuguese, and Spanish. In 1956, he founded the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola but was exiled after independence was achieved in 1975. He never returned.  

As anti-colonial movements got underway in the mid-twentieth century, Andrade wrote extensively about the urgent necessity for Africans to turn away from European cultural and political models, arguing that communities emerging from colonization should focus on voices from within, on self-representation, and on horizontal relationships among Black, African, and decolonizing peoples. Andrade played a key role in theorizing the international reach of revolutionary 20th-century poetry and literature, Black cultural vindication, and African liberation. 

When asked how this project came about, Millar shared, “My initial thought was that I was going to translate five of his introductions to anthologies. Then as I kept digging, I realized there was much, much more material, and a significant amount of material in French. I thought the picture of his intellectual production would be incomplete if I just focused on Portuguese, and I approached Fabienne to collaborate.” 

“When you research and teach a multilingual, transnational revolutionary figure,” says Moore, “you are educating students about values, actions and modes of writing. The knowledge that this thinker existed, this is how they carried out their actions, this is how the work was perceived by his contemporaries, it provides an educational impact that is huge.” 

Along with the translated essays and speeches, the book includes a foreword by Millar and an interview with Andrade’s two daughters, who are guardians of his work. This work is particularly relevant not only to scholars of African decolonization movements but to anyone engaged in contemporary conversations about race, belonging, and political community.

The Wine Chat is free and open to the public. Beverages are available for purchase and a food cart is on the premises of Capitello Wines. There is ample parking at Banner Bank across the street. Please register at ohc.uoregon.edu

Music and Lyrics by William Finn Book by Rachel Sheinkin Conceived by Rebecca Feldman Additional Material by Jay Reiss Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine Originally produced on Broadway by David Stone, James L. Nederlander, Barbara Whitman, Patrick Catullo Barrington Stage Company, Second Stage Theatre

Directed by Tara Wibrew

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

This year delves into research in its many forms, including searching, critically investigating, and re-examining existing knowledge, as well as emerging functions and procedures in machine intelligence and computation. It will highlight pluralities of research pathways, examining time-honored approaches and new ways of knowing, precedents, issues, and futures. It considers challenges and possibilities that researchers face in today’s rapidly changing world, and ways to promote ethical, inclusive, and impactful research.

The event celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of the Communication and Media Studies Doctoral Program in the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon.
