SUMMARY:Borges\, Joyce\, and the Not-Quite-First Spanish-Language Review of Ulysses
DESCRIPTION:Jorge Luis Borges famously claimed himself to be the first hispano to embark upon the odyssey of reading and reviewing James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922). Along with his 1925 review\, he also translated the last two pages of the novel\, Molly Bloom’s sensation-creating\, stream-of-consciousness monologue. Perhaps starstruck by the legendary pairing of two of the twentieth century’s most influential authors\, many scholars have taken his claim as indisputable evidence that Borges single-handedly introduced Joyce to Latin America\, and of the enduring impact of his translation. This talk will reveal that the true story of Joyce’s introduction to Spanish language readers is both more complex and more interesting than the one traditionally told. \nDr. Leah Leone Anderson is a Visiting Scholar with UWM’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Her book\, Borges’s Creative Infidelities: Translating Joyce\, Woolf and Faulkner (2024) was made possible with CLACS’s support. Her current research focuses on the work of Argentine critic\, translator\, and memoirist María Rosa Oliver (1898-1977). \n

SUMMARY:LACUSL Speaker Series: Prof. Jessica Nelson
DESCRIPTION:“Remembered in Our Prayers”: Colonial Mexico\, Philanthropy\, and Public History\nMonday\, March 31st\, 2025 \n3:00-4:00 PM \nAGSL (UWM Libraries\, 3rd floor)\nUW-Milwaukee\nDr. Jessica Nelson\nVisiting Assistant Professor of History\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIn colonial Oaxaca\, Mexico\, the spiritual and material economies were closely intertwined. Fundraising\, sponsorships\, and other obra pias (charitable works) covered the cost of endeavors like paying the dowries of orphaned girls\, or constructing a convent for Indigenous women. Centuries later\, not all of these projects have been remembered equally. Some made permanent changes to the urban landscape and are still discussed today; others have been essentially forgotten. This talk will explore the history of philanthropy in Mexico\, the process of researching these projects\, and contemporary public history of colonial events. \nJoin us to learn about the many topics you can study through the interdisciplinary LACUSL major at UWM.

SUMMARY:The Grenada frog: Long term monitoring\, mapping\, outreach and conservation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Emily Latch & Billie Harrison\, Biological Sciences\, UW-Milwaukee. \nThe island of Grenada is home to only two endemic terrestrial vertebrates\, the Grenada Dove (Leptotila wellsi) and the Grenada Frog (Pristimantis euphronides). Both are Critically Endangered (IUCN Red List). The Grenada Dove is featured on the national emblem and is considered to be a national treasure. By contrast\, the Grenada Frog is virtually unknown. We worked with the IUCN in 2021 to assess the conservation status of all Lesser Antillean amphibians\, where mapping and quantitative ecological analysis prompted a status update of the Grenada frog to “Red List\, Critically Endangered”. This classification is warranted given extinction threats by habitat fragmentation significantly limiting dispersal and gene flow\, reduced global footprint\, threats from development\, climate change\, invasive species\, and disease. Our ongoing work is focused on understanding these threats\, through ecological and genetic studies\, and on strategic and innovative outreach efforts to increase awareness for the Grenada frog and engage citizens to amplify the impacts of conservation actions. These are what shape the overall aims of our research project: 1) to assess species range\, demography\, and population connectivity for this endemic montane frog\, 2) to understand the impact of the fungal disease chytridiomycosis\, and 3) to increase awareness of this unique species through targeted\, long-term education and outreach activities. We will present these initiatives and challenges along with some exciting new community and student engagement projects.

SUMMARY:Happy Cows: Human-Environment Networks in Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Harold and Florence Mayer Lecture \nAgriculture is considered multifunctional when it produces standard commodity goods alongside a broader range of human and ecological services. The degree to which agriculture is successfully multifunctional owes much to feedback among individual decisions\, social institutions\, and environmental systems. We examine dairy farms to better understand how social relationships and biophysical dynamics interact to spur or hinder growth of multifunctional agriculture in Wisconsin\, Pennsylvania\, and New York. This work blends a variety of methods\, including social science surveys\, environmental field work\, and spatially-explicit modeling. This research advances our understanding of how social networks and ecosocial feedback affect the sustainable development of managed ecosystems. \nPresented by Steven Manson\, Professor in the Department of Geography\, Environment\, and Society at the University of Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Indigeneity and Writing: Rethinking Indigenismo in Early 20th Century Latin America
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jorge Coronado\, Professor of Latin American and Andean Literatures\, Co-Director\, Andean Cultures & Histories at Northwestern University. \nIn this talk\, Professor Coronado reconsiders the scholarly frameworks within which we locate indigenista literature\, arguably the broadest literary movement in the Latin American 20th century. His goal in doing so is to understand a separate body of lettered practices whose origins cannot be accounted for without considering the role of indigenismo. These ‘other’ lettered practices are mostly\, but not solely\, created by indigenous peoples. As importantly\, accounting for this body of literature involves articulating a notion of indigeneity that does not arise exclusively as an expression of an indigenous identity or culture\, but rather as the product of collaborations and exchanges between indigenous and non-indigenous actors in a wide\, or widened\, discursive field.

SUMMARY:Spatiotemporal analysis of lung cancer disparity in Wisconsin\, USA
DESCRIPTION:Thesis presentation of Mathew Ugwuanyi: Studies over the United States has shown that disparity still exists in lung cancer mortality. Such disparity has been greatly attributed to several risk factors such as genetics\, socio-economic status\, comorbidities\, amongst others. Primarily\, this study aims to examine spatiotemporal variation in lung cancer mortality rates in the State of Wisconsin\, U.S.A. The study also seeks to explore the relationship between socio-economic\, environmental variables and lung cancer mortality. For this study\, lung cancer mortality county level data from the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) and\, the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance\, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)\, which is aggregated and age-adjusted according to the 2000 U.S standard million population were used. Also\, county level socio-economic data like education attainment\, median household income\, unemployment and PM 2.5 data were gathered from the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) respectively. Scan statistics (SaTScan) will be used to analyze the spatiotemporal pattern of mortality clusters. In addition\, regression analysis will be used to assess statistical significance and measure the relationship between lung cancer mortality and county level socio-economic and environmental factors in Wisconsin. This study hopes to show potential cluster patterns in lung cancer mortality in the study area\, which might suggest uneven spatial temporal mortality risk. Also\, through findings\, we hope to suggest interventions to help ameliorate lung cancer mortality.

SUMMARY:Addressing lead exposure disparities in Milwaukee: An analysis of interventions\, effectiveness\, and equitable strategies
DESCRIPTION:Thesis presentation of Mark Miracle: This study investigates the negative health consequences linked to lead exposure\, with a specific focus on interventions implemented in Milwaukee. Emphasizing the heightened susceptibility of young children during organ development\, the research examines literature on sources of household lead exposure and the complex interplay of sociodemographic factors contributing to the risk of childhood lead poisoning. In the context of Milwaukee’s notable racial and socioeconomic disparities\, the study assesses the existing intervention strategies. Key considerations include their effectiveness\, alignment with racial residential segregation\, and their impact on vulnerable communities. The research also delves into the geographical placement of interventions concerning areas of exposure and the criteria used to determine their boundaries.

SUMMARY:Complementing Flood Insurance Rate Maps with Community Resilience Estimates Data in Milwaukee County
DESCRIPTION:Thesis presentation of Christopher Archuleta: Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are primarily used for determining flood insurance rates and for determining which properties are required to have flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program. However\, they are also flood risk maps that can serve as risk communication tools. FIRMs have several sources of bias and inaccuracy. As a result\, their capacity to communicate flood risk is limited. FIRMs should be complemented with relevant datasets to ascertain a more holistic notion of risk. I propose to investigate the effectiveness of complementing FIRMs with Community Resilience Estimates Data from the US Census Bureau to communicate flood risk. To conduct this study\, National Flood Hazard Layer data and Community Resilience Estimates data will be combined in flood risk maps based on risk communication and cartography design principles. Surveys will then be administered to Milwaukee County residents to evaluate how successful these maps are at conveying the spatial distribution of flood risk and the contribution of social vulnerability to flood risk. The results from this study could show the potential of using FIRMs for more holistic flood risk communication purposes.

SUMMARY:Integrating social\, environmental and mobility factors in studying violence in the city of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation proposal presentation of Matthias Schilli: Violence has been studied as a social and public health issue for a long time. We investigate the violence in the City of Chicago by integrating social\, environmental\, and mobility factors in spatial statistical models. The social determinants will be based on a large number of social variables. The environmental criminological factors will be based on the Points of Interest (POI) data that provides information on the density and proximity of human activity convergence. The human mobility pattern in the city will be considered. The spatial and temporal patterns of violence in the city will be studied first\, and then all the factors will be integrated into spatial statistical models to understand how they contribute to the violence variation in the city. It is expected that this study can contribute to a more integrative approach than the public health and spatial criminological approaches to violence prevention.

SUMMARY:Examining the urban microclimate effects on urban building energy uses in the city of Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation proposal presentation of Lulu Liu: Over-concentrated urban buildings and energy consumption have become one of the major reasons for the environmental deterioration in urban areas and can directly or indirectly cause urban microclimate changes. Energy consumption in urban areas has shown a rapid growth trend\, and reducing the intensity of energy consumption in urban areas has attracted the attention of many scholars. Examining the impact of different spatiotemporal climate factors on energy consumption from the perspective of urban microclimate and their spatial patterns may provide valuable policy implications on urban building energy consumption. This study has three primary goals\, including 1) estimating building energy consumption of the City of Milwaukee\, WI using historical and future weather data\, and verifying the accuracy of future energy demand predictions by comparing them to historical energy use data.; 2) examining the impact of microclimate factors on urban building energy consumption through correlation analysis and regression analysis on building and city scales; and 3) mapping future energy consumption demands over 30 years to visualize spatial and temporal differences.

SUMMARY:Exploring cryospheric and biotic responses to warming in the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago\, Russian High Arctic
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation proposal presentation of Dean Maraldo: The Arctic is warming faster than any other region of the world\, driving significant changes in terrestrial ecosystems and the cryosphere\, including changes in vegetation phenology and the loss of lake ice\, permafrost\, and glacier mass. However\, compared to other areas of the Arctic\, climate-related changes in the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago (“NZA”)\, in the Russian High Arctic\, are not well understood. The narrow archipelago is unique\, extending northward into the Arctic Ocean and separating the Barents Sea and the Kara Sea. As a result\, all glaciers and lakes in the archipelago have greater exposure to the warmer Arctic Ocean air in the summer\, compared to other major Arctic landmasses\, such as Greenland\, where glaciers and lakes are farther inland and insulated from warmer coastal air. Therefore\, I will investigate changes in the cryosphere and vegetation in the archipelago. Specifically\, the proposed dissertation will 1) construct the longest decadal chronology of glacier change in the NZA\, extending back to the 1950s; 2) develop the first lake inventory for the NZA and analyze spatial and temporal trends in lake ice phenology for benchmark lakes throughout the archipelago; and 3) establish the first vegetation phenology baseline for the NZA and evaluate long-term vegetation change trends since 2000. The findings from the research are expected to improve our understanding of relationships between warming and changes in the cryosphere and vegetation in NZA and contribute to the literature by providing other researchers with the baseline and historical proxy data necessary to validate large scale cryosphere change\, vegetation change\, and sea level rise models.
