In his recent book, World Literature and the Question of Genre in Colonial India, Kedar A. Kulkarni demonstrates a minor literature’s convergence with and divergence from global literary movements, genres, and technologies in the nineteenth century. In this talk, he presents two arguments, about Marathi literature’s relationship with a global romanticism and the “gift” to the colonizer, and about editorial processes and the creation of canonical authors and poets. Both global romanticism as well as the editorial process were instrumental in refashioning Indian literatures as one node within a global circuit—and they also enable us to see how definitions of literature changed as a result. Part intellectual history, part literary studies, and part colonial history, Kedar approaches his work through a variety of lenses to showcase how purportedly minor languages and literatures are nonetheless consequential for how we understand literary studies today.<br><br>Speaker Bio<br>Kedar A. Kulkarni is a literary and performance historian who situates Indian literature and performance within global paradigms, borrowing lenses from colonial and postcolonial studies, comparative literature, and theatre and performance studies. He has written about slavery and caste in south Asia, aspects of intellectual history and theory, book history, canonicity, and Marathi theatre and performance. He is an Associate Professor of Literary and Cultural Studies at FLAME University, India. His first book, World Literature and the Question of Genre in Colonial India: Poetry, Drama, and Print Culture 1790-1890 (Bloomsbury 2022) won the American Comparative Literature Association’s Helen Tartar First Book Subvention Grant.

Little is known about the psychological mechanism underlying how the gender of agents making decisions on behalf of firms in the supply chain affects collaborative behavior. We explore how gender influences supply chain collaboration. In a behavioral experiment, we manipulate gender pairings of retailers making decisions in partnership with suppliers. We are the first to explore the rationale behind individuals exhibiting different collaborative behaviors toward women and men in a supply chain context. The results inform practitioners that seek to expand their pool of available talent by targeting individuals who may have been previously underrepresented. The insights help by providing guidance on assigning the right person to the right supply chain role. <br><br>Dr. Shaheen is an Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management in the Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas. Her research interests focus on leadership, uncertainty, and disruptions in supply chain settings.

Decarbonization, or efforts to remake a built environment with lower carbon emissions, can have profoundly unequal effects. To understand these effects, and, conversely, to understand the possibilities of just and equitable decarbonization, we need to investigate both the distributional outcomes of decarbonization policies and the processes by which decarbonization is planned and implemented. This talk considers the “equity turn” in environmental and climate planning: the increasing recognition by policy-makers that climate policies can impact people unevenly and disproportionately. In this talk, I ask how cities arrive at equity aspirations and how municipal climate governance constructs ideas about equity, focusing specifically on the climate intervention of residential electrification in the cities of Oakland and San Jose, California. The talk concludes with a discussion of future research directions for just decarbonization.

*La version française suivra* <br><br>The FOFA team is excited to invite you to celebrate the opening of our newest exhibitions.<br><br>On view in the Main Space from March 4th to April 12th, 2024 <br>The Nearness of Distance brings together films by Nancy Barić and Steven J. Yazzie, centering relationships with land and water. Alternating between documentary style representation and abstract imagery and sound, the two films explore issues of representation, ecology, and stewardship. The films interweave personal, collective and historical narratives, while speaking of connection and disconnection due to colonialism. <br><br>On view in the York Vitrines from March 4th - May 24th, 2024 <br>Praises Unsung emerges as a poignant exploration of eldest daughter perspectives, within the tapestry of immigrant and African households. The exhibition breathes life into the multifaceted roles the women in Sarah-Mecca' Abdourahman’s family embody beyond the expectation of providing emotional stability and being selfless nurturers. This installation of paintings explores the resemblances between the dynamic and physically taxing roles of the eldest daughter and mother, and weaves a narrative of grace, a tribute to the endurance of these women, and an affirmation that embracing rest is an act of profound strength. <br><br>On view in the Black Box from March 4th - April 12th, 2024 <br>Please whisper (like the wind in the trees) is a selection of texts, zines, and artist books selected by the staff librarians at Concordia’s student-run arts library, the Fine Arts Reading Room (FARR). <br><br>In response to the works Mountain Song by Steven J. Yazzie and Electric Water by Nancy Barić, the library staff has created an offering of resources that reflect the themes of ecology, decoloniality, flow, movement, and the poetics of water. This selection carefully highlights Indigenous artists and knowledge keepers and offers space to reflect on readers’ own relationships with land. We invite you to explore, to linger, to exist, to critique and to wonder within these walls in quiet togetherness, to take time in this space to co-exist with our collection. <br><br>--- <br><br>L'équipe du FOFA est heureuse de vous inviter à célébrer l'ouverture de nos nouvelles expositions. Rendez-vous à la Galerie FOFA pour le vernissage le 21 mars 2024 de 17h à 20h.<br><br>A voir dans l'espace principal du 4 mars au 12 avril 2024. <br>À portée de la distance rassemble des films de Nancy Barić et Steven J. Yazzie, centrés sur les relations avec la terre et l'eau. Alternant entre une représentation de style documentaire, et une imagerie et un son abstraits, les deux films explorent les questions de représentation, d'écologie et d'intendance. Les films entremêlent des récits personnels, collectifs et historiques, tout en évoquant la connexion et la déconnexion dues au colonialisme. <br><br><br>Exposition dans les Vitrines York du 4 mars au 24 mai 2024 <br>Louanges méconnues se présente comme une exploration poignante des perspectives de la fille aînée, au sein de la tapisserie des ménages immigrés et africains. L'exposition donne vie aux rôles multiples que les femmes de la famille de Sarah-Mecca Abdourahman incarnent au-delà de l'attente d'une stabilité émotionnelle et d'un rôle d'éducatrice désintéressée. Cette installation de peintures explore les ressemblances entre les rôles dynamiques et physiquement éprouvants de la fille aînée et de la mère, et tisse un récit de grâce, un hommage à l'endurance de ces femmes, et une affirmation que le fait d'embrasser le repos est un acte de force profonde. <br><br>Exposition dans la Boîte noire du 4 mars au 12 avril 2024 <br>Chuchotez (comme le vent dans les arbres) est une sélection de textes, de zines et de livres d'artistes choisis par les bibliothécaires du personnel de la bibliothèque d'art gérée par les étudiants de Concordia, la Fine Arts Reading Room (FARR). <br><br>En réponse aux œuvres Mountain Song [Chanson de montage] de Steven J. Yazzie et Electric Water [Eau électrique] de Nancy Barić, le personnel de la bibliothèque a créé une offre de ressources qui reflètent les thèmes de l'écologie, de la décolonialité, du flux, du mouvement et de la poétique de l'eau. Cette sélection met soigneusement en valeur les artistes autochtones et les gardiens du savoir et offre un espace de réflexion sur les propres relations des lecteurs avec la terre. Nous vous invitons à explorer, à vous attarder, à exister, à critiquer et à vous émerveiller entre ces murs, en toute tranquillité, et à prendre le temps de coexister avec notre collection.

This talk will be an introduction to the field of Borel equivalence relations (also called invariant descriptive set theory). No background will be assumed. We will motivate the main object of study: a Borel reduction between equivalence relations on Polish spaces. This in turn allows to measure the complexity of various classification problems in mathematics, and to prove precise impossibility results regarding conjectured classifications.
