David Grann is an award-winning New Yorker writer and the bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager.

Please join us at the SMFA for a talk and Q&A by visiting artist Kianja Strobert!

Kianja is known for dynamic explorations of acrylic, ink, and other materials that have established her as an innovative voice in contemporary abstraction. Her mixed-media sculptures and works on paper share a coarseness of texture and an expressive line. Strobert’s work translates the world into energetic planes of color, rendered in thick but refined brushstrokes that keep the eye in constant motion. The suggestion of movement or fluctuation results from the reactions of her various materials to their structural supports.

Open to Tufts university students, faculty, and staff.

Please join us at the SMFA for a talk and Q&A by visiting artist Chitra Ganesh!

Across a twenty-year practice, Chitra Ganesh has developed an expansive body of work rooted in drawing and painting, which has evolved to encompass animations, wall drawings, collages, computer generated imagery, video, and sculpture. Through studies in literature, semiotics, social theory, science fiction, and historical and mythic texts, Ganesh attempts to reconcile representations of femininity, sexuality, and power absent from the artistic and literary canons. She often draws on Hindu and Buddhist iconography and South Asian forms such as Kalighat and Madhubani, and is currently negotiating her relationship to these images with the rise of right wing fundamentalism in India.

Open to Tufts university students, faculty, and staff.

Many scholars believe that the Roman Climate Optimum (RCO) was central to the expansion of the Roman Empire. Similarly, some think climatic trends in the centuries after the RCO were in large part responsible for the Roman Empire’s decline and disintegration. This lecture seeks to nuance these differences in climate and society to highlight why broad climatic phases cannot by themselves be used as societal determinants.

David Supple is manager of the Corporate Web team at the University of Birmingham and manager of the University's Institutional Portal Project. His teams remit is the development of the site to facilitate the e-business and e-learning aims of the institution, and the delivery of a Web-enabled organisational vision. In real terms this means the re-corporatization of the University Web site, through a focussed Web strategy, common infrastructures and templates, centralised hardware, adequate support and a customer focussed internal sales process to help convince users to migrate back to the centre. The Web Team uses mostly Microsoft products (a challenge in itself), with occasional forays into MySQL and Unix just to keep us sane. Over the coming year, David's focus will be on developing a major portal environment for the University, something that has been in planning for almost 2 years now, and he is keen to engage with the HE community on this new type of development to help maximise the potential of this technology. David is also interested in Web strategy in general and the development of organisational structures and processes as they respond to a more electronic view of the world. David Supple gave a plenary talk on Web Strategies: Bridging a Continent.

Tufts AI Literacy Forums Fall 2024

• Has Perplexity become a secret friend you love to pester? Does ChatGPT feel like an evil robot overlord you’re not sure you can trust?
  
• Are you curious about how others at Tufts are using AI? Do you ever wonder if you’re the only one with mixed feelings about it?

Over the past two years, generative AI tools have found their way into the spaces where we learn, teach, and work. This series creates an opportunity to discuss the ethical and effective uses of AI and how we can define AI literacy in a way that supports our shared values.

Join a forum where students, faculty, and staff come together to discuss how generative AI is shaping life at Tufts—both inside and outside the classroom.

Online forum: Thursday, November 21, 2024, 12-1:30 p.m. via Zoom

In-person forum: Friday, November 22, 12-2 p.m. on the Medford/Somerville campus (with a lunch buffet)
