Precarities, Pastorals and Poetics is a creative-writing workshop which asks how precarity can queer our relationship with the natural world, crafting new understandings of pastoral poetry.

CONTINUOUS-STATE NONLINEAR BRANCING PROCESSES Continuous-state branching processes are continuous-state counterparts of discrete-state Bienayme-Galton-Watson branching processes. We consider a class of continuous-state branching processes with branching rates depending on the current population sizes. They are nonnegative-valued Markov processes that can be obtained either from spectrally positive Levy processes via Lamperti type time changes or as unique nonnegative solutions to SDEs driven by Brownian motion and (or) Poisson random measure with positive jumps. The nonlinear branching mechanism allows the processes to have exotic behaviours such as coming down from innity. But at the same time it brings in new challenges to their study for lack of the additive branching property. In this talk we introduce the above continuous-state nonlinear branching processes, and present results on coming down from innity, explosion and extinguishing behaviours for such processes. It is based on joint work with Clement Foucart, Bo Li, Junping Li, Pei-Sen Li and Yingchun Tang.

This 90-minute panel discussion will explore the factors shaping the public service sector and what’s in store for the future.

Join us for the launch of Professor Greg Nielsen's new book, Media Sociology and Journalism: Studies in Truth and Democracy.

Early modern authors started theorizing about racism at around the same time when they started theorizing about race. Their theories are often surprisingly insightful and can help us gain a deeper understanding of racism's origins.
