As a part of the Sovereignty & Solidarity Fall Speaker Series, the Huerta Center is thrilled to host Dr. Jessica Stites Mor from The University of British Columbia. This talk will explore how Cuban photojournalism of the 1960s-1970s functioned as an infrastructure of tricontinental solidarity shaping anti-imperial vocabularies and forging new global networks of struggle. […]
Presenter: Chrysoula Tsogka, Professor, Applied Mathematics, UC Merced Description: In a strongly scattering medium, waves undergo multiple scattering that is usually seen as an obstacle to imaging. Time-reversal experiments show the opposite: waves re-emitted into the medium refocus on their source more sharply than in a homogeneous medium, because scattering makes the array appear larger […]

Federal agencies and research sponsors are increasingly requiring institutions to attest to and provide evidence of research security compliance. The stakes go beyond a single grant: a security incident can trigger a review of that attestation, and granting agencies can pause or revoke funding across an entire program, not just one award. Join Chief Information […]

Presented by: Francesco Trotti, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow @ University of Bologna, Italy Description: “Developing autonomous robotic systems capable of operating reliably in uncertain and dynamic environments requires the integration of planning, learning, and control while addressing fundamental challenges related to safety, robustness, and computational efficiency. This talk will present a research journey from stochastic […]

Presenter: Joshua Schraiber, Research Scientist, University of Southern California and Cornell University Description: The advent of biobank data has presented an unprecedented opportunity to understand the evolutionary history of the human species. By collecting genotype data from hundreds of thousands of individuals, we can look closely at recent evolutionary history, including recent demography, mutation rates, […]
Presenter: Anuj Kumar, Assistant Professor, UC Davis Description: Turbulent flows can transport heat and momentum much more efficiently than pure molecular diffusion alone. What flow structures enable this efficient transport and how can they sustain dissipation when diffusivity or viscosity is small? These questions are fundamental to understanding turbulence and have important applications in engineering. […]

In this talk, Jennifer interrogates how Cuban identity is performed, disciplined, and made legible within globalized media systems that simultaneously celebrate diversity and constrain it through drag and beauty pageantry. Rather than treating Cubanidad as a stable or unified identity, Cubanidad is discussed as a mobile and contested formation shaped by histories of economic crisis, […]
